I have much Squeeeee for minor character love! I think I may have jumped up from my chair yelled in delight during Adrift when the City's reluctant and completely unqualified mix of civilians found themselves piloting puddlejumpers to save her. It still brings a goofy smile to my face.

Minor characters are awesome! I think especially in a show like Atlantis, where there's so much potential for crazy and wonderful and amazing things to be happening all the time so you just never know what so-and-so might be doing!

Yes! Exactly this!

Maybe this is one of the reasons I love outsider POV stories so much. It's a little glimpse of what's going on in Atlantis that we never got to see onscreen.

Yes! This, precisely this. I always loved Atlantis because the people were real and this scene demonstrated that perfectly. Its a scene I watch over and over.

*highfives you*

Geeky, nervous, unsure and untrained for this and they were brilliant!

"Space ships!!!"

Yeah, they were so adorable!

In looking through some of the screen caps the other day I noticed there several 'soldiers' who appeared in a lot of different episodes - I never noticed them on the episodes themselves, but there was some continuity of personnel, which was pretty cool!

Poor Griffin, though. And his tomatoes! Bless him.

I'd have loved to see an episode from, say, the mess hall chef's point of view,or someone like that. :o)

...I noticed there several 'soldiers'

ahem --

From McKay and Mrs. Miller

SHEPPARD: Well, Teyla’s got the hots for one of the new marines.

(Teyla looks indignant and kicks his leg.)

SHEPPARD: Ow!

TEYLA: That is not true!

~~~~

I was so curious for that to go somewhere!

[mezzo-cammin.livejournal.com]

and, of course, I meant there were, not just there.... Fingers cannot keep up with mind some days!

Yes! I wish they had gone somewhere with that, too. I loved the ending to that, and John's "here he comes..." TEAM!

I miss the team. I think that's why the Daedalua (sp?) Variations is one of my favorite episodes. It's just the team, being...teamy. *g*

Other minor characters I wish had had more play time? Bates. Bates and Teyla. I kind of wanted to ship them, in that old-fashioned, Harlequin kind of "enemies at first sight, strand 'em on a desert island, then epiphany of true love" kind of trope-y way.

*is vaguely ashamed of self*

Ohh, Bates would have sooo much making up to do. But I understand exactly what you're saying.

Yes! And that they managed to make even a few moments on screen memorable for so many of those folk. I still laugh at the conversation between a couple airmen in "The Storm" about bacon.

"The one thing you wish you brought with you to another galaxy is bacon?"

"It's the food that makes all other food worth eating."

Even though these two were killed right after that :( or maybe especially because...they didn't have to be having an interesting conversation, you know? But the writers put it in there anyway.

Bacon! I ♥ that whole scene, thank you so much for reminding me of it.

I just re-watched Sunday because I wanted to A: see John in dress blues and B: see that look he and Rodney shares over the coffin. Augh.

And really - more Chuck! He's cute, why don't we get more Chuck! And the blonde doctor, dr Cole? The one with the migraine - I wonder how it was to work in the infirmary or with Carson as a boss.

[melagan.livejournal.com]

I have much Chuck love!

John is his dress blues is just GUH.

Have you seen this manip? (http://pics.livejournal.com/melagan/pic/0001k0kt)
