Premiere thoughts

[terrie]

Okay, my first thought on seeing the fiveish aged kid was "evil munchkin!" It was the hat/bonnet thing. You can't be anything but evil in that hat.

When the guy went "on screen" I had a moment of "Which series am I watching?"

You know, Daniel is, himself, a rebuttal to the Ori and the priors. "The Ancients aren't helping you to Ascend!" "Eh, not so much the truth there, actually." But no one ever mentions that.

Lots of hints about Vala's childhood this time around. My main concern about Vala being a regular is that she could potentially steal the show. I adore the character, but I still like the others.



Awwww. Caldwell feels a little bad about losing Sheppard.

You know, when David Nykl has his hair slicked down, it looks like they dragged him out of teh shower. Nekkid DN=happy thoughts.

Rodney downloaded porn. Ha!

The Wraith have quarters. Does anyone else find that odd?

I actually feel sorry for Michael. He'll never be totally happy as a Wraith or a human. Sucks to be him. And he wants to live, so he's not going to just kill himself. I foresee no happy ending there.

Rodney is such a pessamist. And Ronon call him on it!

Even though Sheppard is not my favorite character (or, heck, even second favorite), I will admit he gets some of the best lines. "Operation: This will likely end badly"

Lorne and Zelenka aboard the Orion (which, when I see it in print, I tend to read as the "Onion"). I love the secondary characters on this show.

Wow. Rapid fire delivery of lines. Was Caldwell an auctioneer in a previous life?"

And finally, McKay and Zelenka totally share a brain. It's so cute. I love those two together.

Well, I didn't expect the Wraith to have Borg-like regeneration pods ;)

They seemed to have something similar to the cocoons in the pilot, with the waking Wraith so neatly distributed.

True, but I think that was more "long term storage" if you will, rather than just being up and having to sleep part of the day. Consider that the Orion's original crew were in stasis pods, not in their regular quarters. I'm figuring in Rising, the Wraith were in their equivalent of stasis pods.

Do the Wriath even sleep?

[mice1900.livejournal.com]

They're apparently at least partly human genetically, and even bugs rest or sleep, I think. So yeah, even things like this that are practically immortal probably have some kind of rest cycle beyond hibernation.
