SGU - Watching for the first time

I’ve been a Stargate fan for a few years now, but had only watched SG-1 until recently. Went old-school half way through watching Atlantis after Netflix took it off their listings, got some DVD’s to finish it, and I wanted to watch all the extra interviews, behind the scenes glorious-ness. I also picked up the SGU seasons, having enjoyed the floof and sexiness that is Mr Gold/Rumplestiltskin, hoping to enjoy more screen time from Robert Carlyle.

Now, I’m only part-way through Season 1, but there is such limited effective screen time for our main man. I’m so over the ‘loser wants the pretty girl, but is friend-zoned’ story-line of Eli, there was nothing wrong with McKay in Atlantis wanting someone smart and pretty, but it wasn’t so pathetic. Also, McKay was a strong character, and so much more mature, if neurotic :)

There is so much darkness in the character suite for this series as well, very Torchwood-esque build up in their development. Something that was really great about the other SG series was the genuine comic relief, this seems geared for a much different audience compared to the other series. Also, a gripe about the camera work, I might be in the minority here, but I hate ‘found-footage’ as a series style. One episode, yeah, I can deal, but all the time? Give me a break. It’s been over used, for this type of show at least, it’s not a horror flick, it’s sci-fi.

Finally, I want to enjoy the time that RC is on screen, but there is little development besides, ‘oh look, the scientist just wants results, people don’t matter, he’ll probably kill us all trying to figure it all out’. No personal development, now as someone who has worked leading teams that hate your guts, but you are still doing the right thing and getting results, this is extremely taxing, and wouldn’t last. The glimpse of someone human we see in Ep1 isn’t brought forth. He’s almost cast as the bad guy, which is ridiculous, considering how he actually wants to save them.

I’m not totally disappointed, I just think that they have such talent in the actors, and are trying too hard to fit the story lines of these characters all together.

Roni’s Bar; Chapter 10 - Nicholas Rush #2 [ao3 / ff.net]

He had fallen asleep once again inside of the warm confines of Roni's Bar in Hyperion Heights. This had become a common thing for him the past few weeks as he found comfort in the stillness of the area in which the couch was situated and Roni had kept her promise to make sure no one had bothered him. Even when Eli or the others would stumble in, needing assistance with something that Rush wouldn't have wanted to assist in — she had turned them away and jotted down a note, sticking it near his papers where he would find it when he would awake. Today was much like that.

As his body slowly jolted upright, hands going to his face and removing the glasses that had been settled on the bridge of his nose, he wiped a hand along his sleep filled eyes and looked down at the mess on the table. Papers were scattered, ink blotting along the edges in form of his fingerprints and pens galore making an odd looking halo of sorts above it all. He reached for the whiskey and downed it in one gulp, instantly regretting it as his throat burned with resistance at the liquid. Groaning, he placed the glasses back on the bridge of his nose and picked up one of the notes that had been stuck to the top of the pile. Apparently Matthew had come in and asked if he could get Rush to come down to the garage with him, seeing as the guy was giving them a hard time about the price of the repairs. That he could do, happily, but it had been the lot of them who had put them in such a place as this. Now they had been stuck for longer than he cared to admit and his time at the base was looking to be further and further away with each problem the mechanic found wrong with the vehicle.

Pushing himself up onto his feet, he stumbled over to the bar, shooting Roni a grateful smile in return for her assistance in helping him get some sleep. "Thank you, I needed that."

"No problem. What is it you're working on over there?"

"Something for my classroom. I'm a teacher." He couldn't very well give her any details about Destiny or her whereabouts or the fact that he had traveled on a space ship that was light years from earth. Even if he had every intent of going back, it was that very inclination that made him keep his lips closed when in regards to what he does for a living. "Can I borrow your phone?" Roni nodded, placing her cell onto the bar top, not seeing a need in making him walk to the corner where the public phone was since he had just woken up from a long nap. He had come in when it was light outside and now that night had fallen, he seemed well rested enough. Rush dialed the cell of Matthew only to have it ring relentlessly without anyone picking up on the other end, disappointed - he phoned up Chloe, knowing she would at least pick up for him. And when she did he quickly barked through the receiver "What trouble is it with the price? We have plenty of money to pay the guy, right?"

Roni’s Bar; Chapter 2 - Nicholas Rush [ao3 / ff.net] requested by alice on ao3. Prompt: Can you do Nicholas Rush from Stargate Universe?

Tuesdays tended to be slow. After the Monday thirst and the weekend binges, days like these were very much welcome on both her nerves and her feet. She finished up drying one of the tumblers before stacking it back with the others. Cleaning as she went always seemed like the best option on slow days, that way she could avoid the need to stay late just to catch up on cleaning. The loud clatter of voices were but a light hum, soft in the background.

"Whiskey."

"Irish or scotch?"

The man removed his glasses and made a face. He looked as though he hated having to speak again or even settle on a choice. Like there were more pressing matters he would rather address not something as simple as which type of whiskey he preferred. "Doesn't matter."

"Suit yourself." Roni sighed taking down a bottle of irish whiskey, grabbing a clean glass then began pouring. She waited, eyes trained on the guy who seemed to be way more busy looking through a slew of papers he had decorated her bar top with. So she stopped before the glass ran over since he wasn't willing to tell her when to. Placing the bottle back, she turned her attention to a group of twenty somethings in the corner. They were deep in a game of would you rather that had a reason to drink - Roni hadn't caught the reason yet but she was sure it was something nonsensical in the way they giggled and roared with laughter.

Nicholas Rush had only been earthbound for two months and already his nerves were shattered. The last thing he wanted was for Eli to figure out how to dial earth without damaging Destiny in the process. And just to add insult to injury, Telford had all but dragged him through the Stargate. Earth had already found more than one planet fit to dial back to his ship but they refused to allow Rush back until he had a year of having his feet planted here on their home soil. He wouldn't call it his home, it wasn't. His home was currently on a mission years away from here that mattered more than anything currently inked out on his slew of paperwork.

A perfect idea. Eli had decided on a road trip for the crew. Some boring sight seeing adventure that they pulled him into by saying if he participated the SGC would allow him to work everyday with them until his year on earth would finally be finished. What the SGC hadn't taken into consideration, at least he hoped they hadn't, was Matthew Scott's terrible choice in transportation. The radiator had already blown, two tires needed replaced and the muffler needed a severe look at.

       “ the ones at work here have not even exempted their own kind from their experimentation? ” an observation more than an invitation to speak, if anything - but unusual and noteworthy to mewtwo all the same. they noticed the differences between a natural inhabitant of this world and those brought to it after some time. it made the engineers of this cage all the more despicable to them, and there was no doubt that the stranger could feel the anger radiating in their telepathic “voice”, despite not being directed at him.
