Rewatch: The Defiant One

[twinsarein.livejournal.com]

Dr. Brendan Gall, one of the scientists on Atlantis, discovers a Lagrangian point satellite and Sheppard, McKay, Gall and another scientist, Dr. Abrams are sent to investigate. It was used by the Ancients as a last line of defense before Atlantis during the war with the Wraith 10.000 years ago, but it seems to be out of commission. Not long after the team picks up a distress call from a planet nearby. It's coming from a Wraith ship that crashed during the war and the team takes a look. McKay is absolutely convinced no living thing could survive that long, but the team discovers signs of Wraith cannibalism and a storage compartment for humans. McKay begins to doubt his assumption.  Summary from IMDb

Oh, Rodney. You look SO tense when you drive ... er ... fly. And ... "this baby"? ::giggles::

I love how that curve showed up just after Rodney said he WAS flying in a straight line. Hee!
John: "Not so much."
Rodney: "Huh. In space all motion is relative."
Poor John looks like the anxious dad who's letting the kids drive for the very first time. Now we know how he got those early grey hairs.

Oh, the look on John's face when Brendan Gaul says that it's not enough that the 'jumper have inertial dampeners, he STILL suffers from motion sickness.

And then John brings up the parents/kids driving analogy himself. I love predicting things.

::giggles again:: Yeah, Rodney, you can be both "insulted and touched".

Wow. It's been a while since we've seen awe on these guys' faces, considering they live on Atlantis.

"Where's it coming from" and the HUD lights up with all the answers. Sneaky l'il know-it-all!

The dirty look John just gave Rodney when he said "Wraith distress call".

Aaaaaand opening credits.

Oh, my. Poor Elizabeth has to play "Mom" to the bunch of brats little boys who just like to explore and stuff. 15 hours out? No prob, Mom.

Always with the "remember where we parked" line. Oh, John.

Oh, hai, pretty glowy bugs.

Ugh. Cocoons never get any less creepy looking.

Oh, poor (no first name?) Abrams. He's so freaked out. And can we say ... redshirt moment coming up. As Rodney jogs to catch up with John, 'cuz he doesn't want to be stuck with the noobs, we get the music building in intensity.
