You know, I've seen so many fanfictions about the Living Atlantis, and I was very disappointed that we weren't given a series where Atlantis would be human. Like the Tardis with the 11th Doctor in "The Doctor's Wife". I think I desperately miss it.
Знаете, я видел столько фанфиков про Живую Атлантиду, и был сильно разочарован, что нам не дали серию, где Атлантида была бы человеком. Как Тардис с 11 Доктором в "Жена Доктора". Я думаю, мне отчаянно не хватает этого.
I've been struggling with a migraine and light sensitivity the last few days. I've watched some SGA but am struggling to even remember which episodes I watched. I think I watched Echoes, Tao of Rodney, and McKay and Mrs. Miller. Season 3 really does have some of the best episodes.
This morning, I decided it was time to start rewatching some of the good but hard episodes, which really are my favorites. I started with The Last Man and Search and Rescue.
The Last Man is one of those episodes where you really see how the city lights up for Sheppard. I don't remember which of y'all first put that in the tags, but I love it so. His home is always waiting for him, ready to light up. You see this as each corridor flickers on as he's walking through, like they remember him.
Rodney tells Sheppard they have to get him back in two months or everything is lost. Rodney explains about Teyla and then has to tell Sheppard it's not his fault. Like, holy cow dude, it's not your fault Teyla died. You go sucked 48,000 years into the future. (I totally relate to this. I'm very prone to taking on burdens that aren't mine. Not to share them, but feeling responsible for things in not responsible for.)
Guys! Sam's ship is the Phoenix. A Phoenix rises from the ashes. Is this a tiny ray of hope? A tiny bit of foreshadowing wrapped up in one word? Right in the middle of all the horror of what happened to his family, we have a ship named the Phoenix. And you know what the next episode is? Search and Rescue!
Having seen several seasons of SG-1, Sam's death hits hard.
Also, it's heavily implied that Woolsey himself is a better man because of Sheppard, which I find endearing.
Sheppard is concerned that if he gets sent back, he'll mess up Rodney's timeline, where he survives and gets the girl. Could this man be more selfless?
Um, Lorne has his Atlantis painting on the wall. The one from Sunday. Why did that make me cry?
This is the ultimate We Don't Leave Our People Behind episode. Even though they don't actually say that, they show it. Do y'all remember early on in season 1 in one of the earliest episodes Rodney wants to do something and Sheppard tells him that if it doesn't work it will take then like 200 years by puddle jumper to rescue him? Rodney asks if they'd come for him anyway, and Sheppard, deadpan, says sure. Well, Sheppard is trapped 48,000 years in the future, and Rodney spends 25+ years getting him back. It's not a sarcastic sure. It's an absolute solid yes because we don't leave our people behind, and each of our people is important. Without everyone together, we can't win this thing.
Search and Rescue is a trip.
Highlights include:
"As a rule, I like to keep the daring rescues down to one a day." - Caldwell
Ronon, the total mother hen, to Sheppard: Give it to me. You don't have to do everything.
Rodney delivering Teyla's son is never not special.
Sheppard leads the way in trusting Kanaan because Teyla trusts him.
Sheppard with the baby is epically beautiful. And I love Caldwell: Major Marks, please make that ship go away.
If you don't want a huge amount of psychic damage, make sure you watch these two episodes together. They're really great!
Опаздываю, праздник был 1 сентября. I'm late, the holiday was on September 1st. Задизайнила открытку для Кэтов под впечатлением от последней локи Лонг Дарка / I was inspired by playing the last location of DLC Long Dark.
It's not long dark, but I'll mention you :) @silk-wool @mystery-lake
Он выглядит как молоденький холёный AU Шеппард, если бы он не летал, а пошёл бы по стопам отца или просто родился в хорошей семье с серебряной ложкой в жопе
И теперь он пытается завести хорошие знакомства в обычными людьми, которые звёзд с неба не хватают и постоянно терпит поражение))
ENG: He looks like a young, sleek AU Sheppard, if he hadn't flown, but would have followed in his father's footsteps or simply been born into a well-to-do family. And now he's trying to make good friends with ordinary people, and he's constantly losing))
Итак, я начала выборочно пересматривать 6 Доктора. So, I started to selectively review the 6 Doctors.
УУУУУУ Вот это эталонный шиз. Я соскучился по этому адекватному безумию.
А то что щас это не безумие, а хуета, когда кажется, что генератор случайных фраз накидывает абзацы сценария. Н а самом деле, про него можно было бы сольник посмотреть. Он за 10 минут выложил о себе такой разномастный набор противоречивых характеристик, причудливо сочетаемых в нём, что хватило бы на серий 5 точно.
EN:
Wow. This is the reference freak! I miss this adequate madness.
And the fact that right now (Chibnal and then) it's not madness, but bullshit, when it seems that the random phrase generator throws paragraphs of the script. In fact, you could watch a spin-off about him. In 10 minutes, he posted about himself such a diverse set of contradictory characteristics, bizarrely combined in it, that would be enough for 5 ep. for sure.
Eng: I watched an episode of TNG and read the name "Sakharov" on the shuttle. I am from Russia, and I am pleased to see positive references in Western culture. Vicky confirmed my suspicions: According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., p. 426, the Sakharov was named for "Russian nuclear scientist and peace advocate Andre Sakharov (1921-1989)"
Andrei Sakharov is a Soviet theoretical physicist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, public figure, dissident and human rights activist.
One of the creators of the first Soviet hydrogen bomb. People's Deputy of the USSR, author of the draft constitution The Union of Soviet Republics of Europe and Asia. The winner Nobel Peace Prize in 1975.

Since the late 1950s, he has actively advocated for the cessation of nuclear weapons testing. A.D. Sakharov expressed his attitude to the question of the justification of possible victims of nuclear tests and, more broadly, human sacrifices in the name of the future in general as follows:
"…Pavlov [the state security general] once told me: — There is a life-and-death struggle going on in the world between the forces of imperialism and communism. The future of humanity, the fate and happiness of tens of billions of people over the centuries depend on the outcome of this struggle. To win this fight, we must be strong. If our work, our trials, add strength to this struggle, and this is extremely true, then no sacrifice of trials, no sacrifice at all, can make a difference here.
Was it insane demagoguery or was Pavlov sincere? It seems to me that there was an element of both demagoguery and sincerity. Something else is more important. I am convinced that such arithmetic is fundamentally wrong. We know too little about the laws of history, the future is unpredictable, and we are not gods. We, each of us, in every case, both "small" and "big", must proceed from specific moral criteria, and not the abstract arithmetic of history. Moral criteria categorically dictate to us — thou shalt not kill!"
Rus: Я смотрела эпизод ТНГ и прочитала название "Сахаров" на шаттле. Я из России, и мне приятно видеть положительные отсылки в западной культуре. Вики подтвердила мои догадки: Согласно энциклопедии «Звездный путь» , 3-е изд., стр. 426, « Сахаров» был назван в честь « российского ученого -атомщика и сторонника мира Андрея Сахарова (1921-1989)»
Андре́й Са́харов — советский физик-теоретик, академик АН СССР, общественный деятель, диссидент и правозащитник.
Один из создателей первой советской водородной бомбы. Народный депутат СССР, автор проекта конституции Союза Советских Республик Европы и Азии. Лауреат Нобелевской премии мира за 1975 год.

С конца 1950-х годов он активно выступал за прекращение испытаний ядерного оружия. Своё отношение к вопросу об оправданности возможных жертв ядерных испытаний и — шире — вообще человеческих жертв во имя будущего А. Д. Сахаров выразил так:
«…Павлов [генерал госбезопасности] как-то сказал мне: — Сейчас в мире идёт борьба не на жизнь, а на смерть между силами империализма и коммунизма. От исхода этой борьбы зависит будущее человечества, судьба, счастье десятков миллиардов людей на протяжении столетий. Чтобы победить в этой борьбе, мы должны быть сильными. Если наша работа, наши испытания прибавляют силы в этой борьбе, а это в высшей степени так, то никакие жертвы испытаний, никакие жертвы вообще не могут иметь тут значения. Была ли это безумная демагогия или Павлов был искренен? Мне кажется, что был элемент и демагогии, и искренности. Важней другое. Я убеждён, что такая арифметика неправомерна принципиально. Мы слишком мало знаем о законах истории, будущее непредсказуемо, а мы — не боги. Мы, каждый из нас, в каждом деле, и в „малом“, и в „большом“, должны исходить из конкретных нравственных критериев, а не абстрактной арифметики истории. Нравственные же критерии категорически диктуют нам — не убий!»

“Well, that is why I enjoyed flying choppers in the most remote part of my world before all this craziness happened…”
And I'm shouting - stop the tape, I've already seen this movie! Hey, director, finish shooting! And he laughs and looks at me through the lens, as if through a scope..
