I'm sure Ba'al's host was lovely and needed all the help he could get to deal with all the trauma, but you know who else should've lived post-Goa'uld possession and would've been MAGNIFICENT with Vala helping in their road to recovery? SHA'RE

I just watched again that video where Xiaomanyc is talking to young students from Westtown School during Languages Week and I can't help but imagine Daniel Jackson doing the same thing and delivering a speech in Gen Alpha Slang

i just think it's neat that the name Meredith Rodney McKay can mean something like 'son of fire and great protector of an island in the sea'

I just looked these up individually because it seemed to awesome to be true, but it is!

Meredith: Great protector of the sea

McKay: Son of fire

Rodney: Hroda’s island. Apparently associated with breathtaking beaches, gold sand, and crystal clear water

And now I want to add this to my fic I’m writing about Jeannie calling him Mer.

#it really is quite nice isnt it #he protects a floating city and he makes bombs! lol #rodney mckay

I watched all of Atlantis twice before watching Sg1 and this is arguably the funniest and most interesting order to watch things in. One of the first things I noticed is that the Pegasus Galaxy is so much more unhinged than our galaxy.

Sg1 goes to make an alliance with the Tokra and they're like "we shall now convene the council and debate for the next several hours the possibility of an alliance in this great war." And then there's Atlantis trying to make alliances and everyone they talk to is just like "we made nuclear bombs!", "we cobbled together a hyperdrive out of parts we scavenged or bartered for. It occasionally lights on fire and there's a small amount of deadly radiation, but it's super fast!", and "I won't talk to you unless you let me eat someone."

The Goa'uld would not last a day in pegasus. They would rock up to the galaxy and try to do their whole we are gods thing and the Satedans would just be standing there, covered in blood, surrounded by the mutilated bodies of wraith, going, "Really? Cause we carved out the internal organs of the last guy who said that."

Hell, if the wraith met the Goa'uld they would think it's great, because, "Wow! Human and symbiote! That's two life forces to eat! A two for one deal!" In a Wraith vs Goa'uld fight the wraith would win. The Goa'uld wouldn't stand a chance.

Atlantis commits more war crimes in their first year than sg1 does in a decade. And it's not just that. The sgc as a whole is so orderly and clean. They wear their uniforms. They're semi-well trained. They're military. The Atlantis crew is so much messier. Their hair is disheveled and their uniforms wrinkled. They're sleep deprived and drenched in sweat. They're running on massive amounts of caffeine and need so much therapy. Atlantis and Pegasus in general is just so much more bloody and dirty. Their hands are soaked in blood, their face is covered in mud and they're getting up for another round.

In short, I love sg1 so far but there is something so raw and desperate about Atlantis that is so fascinating.
