AFT Star Trek: Dancing

[dieastra]

Remember the Star Trek episode "Requiem for Methuselah"? Spock was playing a waltz at the piano, and Kirk and Rayna were dancing. I don't have a Rayna but just let Kirk dance with other women. With whom does he have the best chemistry?

And part 2/2:


I never watched Stargate, but that Wraith Queen looks like an interesting character.

The Wraith are a nasty species. Space vampires. As soon as they touch you, they suck out all your life, leaving an empty shrivelled aged hull. You really would not want that LOL Robert Patrick died the first famous death in the Atlantis pilot.

When these were announced, I actually did not want to watch the series at all, as I found them creepy. I only watched it because they took a beloved character from Stargate SG-1 and put it into Atlantis. I highly can recommend SG-1! I loved that series. It has a few odd episodes in the first season but once they find their feet it is really really awesome. I only wanted to check out what Richard Dean "MacGyver" Anderson was doing these days, I had not expected to fall in love with it. I wasn't even a sci-fi fan at the time! Great characters, great actors, great team and relationships. You feel that they care for each other.

Good drama episodes that raise questions - when I watched TOS last year, I was reminded of SG-1 a lot! The story telling is similar. Often we have two different opinions - Jack is the shoot first, ask questions later guy, and Daniel is the civilian archeologist, saying aliens are people too, but sometimes is too naive and trusting when he should be more wary. And to see those two figure out how to solve a problem, when you actually agree wit both opinions in their way, is always interesting. For example,the TOS episode with the Horta? I could see that totally as a Stargate episode as well. Where the monster in the end is not a monster at all. We had something similar with the Unas. Daniel made friends with them and even learnt their language.

Also if you like Doctor Who and Torchwood, you certainly will like SG-1. A lot of the people I know are fans of both. The humor is similar. Jack O'Neill's one-liners are very famous. Reading SG-1 fanfics is how I learnt English - if I sound like a snarky US colonel once in a while, you know why ;) "Ya think?" Or "Crap" or "Piece of cake" or "shrink" are words I learnt from Jack. I can't believe that I tried to look up "Yeahsureyabetcha" or "D'oh" in the dictionary LOL (also, Jack is a Simpsons fan and often makes references to that and also the Wizard of Oz. He even wanted to name a spaceship "Enterprise" and once when they had travelled in time back to the year 1969 said that his name was James T. Kirk - another idea I have for a scene here)

Also a great main woman character with Sam Carter. She's a soldier and a scientist and very good in both jobs. She has to do all the technobabble and get them out of dangerous situations by inventing/repairing one last thing. And she is very likeable. In the pilot, she has a very bitchy line but then Amanda Tapping (the actress) went to the writers and said just because she is a woman she does not have to be a bitch, you know? Why can't she just be a normal person, doing her job and be nice? When they re-released the pilot a few years later with better special effects and different scenes, that line was gone.

If you have some time, you really may want to check it out one day! Hope I sold it well ;)
