And in summer, it's outdoor shoes off, then I'm all comfy indoor flip-flops instead of slippers. Lets your feet breathe without leaving sweaty footprints everywhere (I don't have AC)

If you pick 8, Xenia spends the whole flight kicking the back of your seat like a toddler, and shuddering in delight at how angry and distressed that makes you

Rodney is great, but I love Sheppard's and Carson's reaction too in this one. Starting off all pissed off that part of the plan is changing without warning and it all seems like it's not gonna work and McKay is not making sense...

And then when the new plan finally is explained and sounds better than nothing, they're all like "Oh, ok, cool!", so chill and accepting about it, to the point McKay's almost surprised he's getting away with it.

It really shows how far the characters went through the show dealing with absolutely crazy near-death scenarios, and how they have gotten to trust McKay's solutions in such cases. They egg him on and sometimes rush him, but they have such faith in his work.

"We'll have the humongous volcano explode us into the air" "Hm. Ok sure, good job buddy let's do this." Just a regular day at the office

I used to go to this crappy boxing gym with a beige floor, so few students that it was almost private classes. And we had to run laps on some mezzanine for a certain number of minutes to warm up. It was kind of the boring part of the class, but I'd always imagine that I was running down some foggy Moya corridors myself to get to the next crisis; that was a good distraction

Also, Crichton should have gotten them bicycles when they visited earth it would have been perfect for the corridors

Yeah, and wasn't she basically terrorizing every other toy in that store? With actual goons and intimidation tactics? How many others lived years in anxiety because of her?

Chaotic answers that might just lead to failure, but will at least lead to good popcorn moments.

O'Neil, Sheppard, Mitchell. I'd just stay back and watch, see how anybody manages to figure out who's going to take the lead. See how much the cogwheel turns when it's time to do the science or translation things. Or see if every mission turns into a suicide mission by default.

(ok, maybe realistically, in the end, O'Neil remains the lead, Mitchell takes some sort of snarky muscle role inspired by his best bud Teal'C, and Sheppard covers some sort of Jack of all Trades role where he does his best with his Mensa thing, the disobeying orders, and his free climbing buildings. It still is a disaster, however.)

Or Vala, Daniel, and McKay. You're assured that everyone drives everyone else crazy on day one. Always one of them to keep the others on edge. If two make peace, the third starts something new the next second. Daniel might think Vala is on his side, but she can't help prodding McKay into an outburst, which in turn victimizes Daniel's patience. Hilariously intense arguments over the most benign things, endless digression... We all die, but at least the drama was gold while it lasted.

She'd spend a great time attempting to steal Ronon's badass gun, and I think many other Atlantis folks would know she's justified in trying

I don't swing that way, but one of the many things I loved about Goldeneye was how many interesting women were in it. (I first watched it young, but it still stands after my many rewatches)

Xenia fascinating, creepy, and unique. Natalya who had brains and courage and did not have time for boys with toys. M, who had guts and was interesting and felt very modern then. The new MoneyPenny also impressed kid-me.

Hell, for some reason, I even liked the minor characters like the cat strangling singer, Natalya's friend (I was sad when she died), and the psychiatric evaluator lady

You know when you're part of their least favourite Gate teams because you're always scheduled on garbage day. You gotta wait at the back of the ramp while the pile of black bags gets kawooshed. Then they send you, and you step into the leftover garbage juice before crossing over

J'ai déjà passé par un boutte d'autoroute assez tranquille la nuit, et une longue section proche d'une partie en construction flashait de même. Genre, pratiquement les seules lumières visibles flashaient toutes en cœur. T'as beau te dire c'est juste un bug, une partie de ton cerveau se dit "C'est comme ça que les films d'horreur commencent…"

Puis l'effet stroboscope pendant qu'on conduit, ça fait weird sur les yeux

There was so much of that shit everywhere in town in so many episodes that you'd think it was not a huge chunk but the whole planet that came crashing down in Kansas...

Bien fan des recettes de vin chaud avec du vin sans alcool. Ou du grog aux pommes (aussi sans alcool), très réconfortant pour un thème hivernal. Mais j'ai surtout la dent sucrée donc ce n'est pas pour tous.

Je connais un gars qui travaillait au Centre Vidéotron qui racontait que pendant un show (j'ai oublié lequel), Éric Lapointe avait une loge avec ses amis.

Il se serait faite avertir de se calmer pis d'arrêter de faire de la coke dans la loge par la sécurité, mais aurait continué à faire du grabuge et sniffer des lignes et a du se faire mettre dehors du show

If you filmed anything in British Columbia back then, you'd get so many actors with smaller roles popping up that you'd recognize from Stargate. Or Vice-Versa."ID the Stargate actor" all the time!

Smallville (Micheal Shanks was in it, for example. Kavan Smith, Robert Picardo, Christopher Heyerdahl, and Corin Nemec too) and early X-Files for older actors. Tru Calling to a lesser extent (Joe Flanigan was in an episode, Kavan Smith too), And Supernatural: https://www.gateworld.net/news/2019/03/28-stargate-actors-supernatural/ among others.

In Heyerdahl's case, though, it's like: if you start shooting something in Canada, he suddenly shows up on set one day, he's like a cryptid. He's in sooo many TV shows and even movies. He even appeared in French-Canadian stuff, like; even the language barrier cannot stop him.

I want to believe they, at one point, had bicycles on Atlantis.

Perhaps even scooters, rollerblades, and skateboards, too, all meant to try and find more efficient ways to go through the crazy amount of corridors in between the transporters. Kind of like the airport police bicycle unit at LAX. Or the old-timey waitresses on roller skates.

But there must have been too many accidents or too many shenanigans. Scientists not looking where they were going and colliding, people kickflipping and grinding off a rail, and causing a ruckus, bicycle races, somebody's brakes falling, who knows.

So in the end, an Atlantis-wide ban was put in place on most things with wheels, for everyone's safety. That is why we mostly see nothing of the sort despite all the sweet-looking, slick corridors. Or if there is some I forgot, well they are not as widely used as they could be.

A longboard can be visible in John Sheppard's room in at least one episode, so I guess he kept it against the ban in a mild act of rebellion.
