Stargate Atlantis: The Chosen (Stargate Atlantis) (Stargate Atlantis)

The Stargate Atlantis team encounter a society where high priests of the local cult are able to protect the society from attacks by the Wraith by using technology left behind by the Ancients. However, the genetic ability to use the weapons has faded over successive generations, leaving the people increasingly vulnerable to attack. With the Wraith growing ever bolder in their attacks, the team must decide whether to inoculate the priests with a gene therapy which will restore their abilities, and also decide whether or not to withhold the therapy from the rest of the population in order to shore up the dominance of the high priests.

Fandom: From Eroica With Love (Unfortunately) (Stargate)

sciencefictionbuzz@gmail.com (Judith Brandy) — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 12:01:21 +0000

Fandom: From Eroica With Love (Unfortunately)
This fic is painful in its mangled tenses and sentence structure.

An excruciating attempt at humor called "Sleeping Beauty." This fic is rated T for Terrible. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Earl Dorian Red Gloria aka Eroica
*groan*

stands beside a silently seething Major Klaus Heinz Von Dem Eberbach aka Iron Klaus
AKA the Major! *double groan*

in one of the underground chambers of one of the oxford
As opposed to Oxford, with a capital "O."

libraries, searching for a book. It seems that the reason Dorian had been hired this time by NATO was to steal an old book, only later to find that it had been donated to this oxford library after the owner had passed away.
PLOT HOLE! (Silly me, I'm assuming there is a plot.) NATO intelligence is hardly likely to mess up THAT badly. This is something the Major would've found out in advance!
Darling is this the book you seek?
I see OutOfCharacter!Dorian in the near future.

Dorian purrs out his words with no thought of self-preservation.
Or proper tenses.

He pulls out the ugliest book from the over packed shelf, which instantly changes in his hands,
The shelf changes?

becoming gold gilded
Gilded?

and Jem
GEM!

encrusted with the words Sleeping Beauty engraved on the front.
Klaus for once not reacting in his usual way,
He's trying to figure out WTF that sentence means.

shoots Dorian
No, Major, shoot me! Put me out of my misery!

a horrified glance and goes to push the book from Dorian s hands.
Why?

But just as he touches the book, it glows in ethereal light and then drops open on the first page on a beautifully carved podium.
I think I'm going to gag on these descriptors.
There was no podium there before. And there is no Earl or Major now.
Lucky bastards.
An aged voice
Huh?

thunders through the room with authority and in its best storytelling tone,
"Coming to a theatre near you!"

and every few sentences it booms the book turns a page.
Going quickly to the end! Please!

I'd like to say it gets better, but we all know I'd be lying through my teeth.

Darth Stan
From Raven and Red by SomeKindOfRomance:

The whole class glanced up as the 17 year old raven haired boy, all clad in black, made his way to the back of the room. "Mhm," he answered with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. Mrs. Broderick looked pretty pissed. She hated Stan with a passion.. In fact the black haired boy wasn't really liked by a lot. He had had a falling out with his close knit group of friends a few years ago, and drifted over to the dark side, just as he had in elementary school. He now hung around the goths and was called 'Raven' by everyone. He kicked people's asses when they called him Stan.

Yes, that Stan.

Kikyou Lovers grab your pitchforks
Even if you hate Kikyou, this fic is an insult to human kind. It completely ignores the need for puncuation, is completely OOC, and isn't really a story!

Title- Inuyasha HATES Kikyo

Summary-well haha the funniezt thing ive eva done in 2 minutes!

Gems- "F*** off you ugly hoe . I love Kagome, so get your dead fugly face out of mine! said Inuyasha, next to Kagome.

So he just started to pash Kagome in front of Kikyo which made her cry and run away.

Doctor Who quotes: Poor Turlough
I just found a hideous Doctor Who story featuring Turlough, Tegan, and the Fifth Doctor. It's called The Coward. Poor Turlough. Or perhaps I should call him Tulough or Turloug, since the author manages to misspell his name twice.

The author's note sets the tone.

Hey! I'm a huuuuge fan of the new Who! And I watched the old Who after that, now I loooove Tegan! I hate Turlough though and Tegan should have got rid of him. So in my fic she does the right thing!

She goes home instead of returning to the TARDIS at the end of Arc of Infinity?

After a paragraph about "the evil alien" (Turlough), the author's bias emerges just a tiny bit.

The Doctor had another friend, she was called Tegan and she was a great and smart woman who always stood for herself.

Because standing for someone else would have been rather difficult. Tegan, who was noted for her extreme intelligence even in the company of Nyssa, Adric, and the Doctor, would certainly know this.

Most of the Doctor's other friends just acted like he was prefect but not Tegan.

Did she act like he was headmaster? Prime minister?

The Doctor had taut her to fight swords.

Because they were always getting attacked by those nasty pieces of metal.

"Go back to Triton and stay there!" Yelled Tegan.

Turlough fled to Neptune's moon as instructed, but quickly died because the atmosphere there was unbreathable. He might have had better luck if he had instead gone to Trion, his home planet.

There is more badness in the story that I have not quoted. For instance, the first line is hilarious, and the bits that prove Turlough is an alien and also a coward are too good to miss.

Stargate Atlantis: The Official Companion, Season 1 (Stargate)

sciencefictionbuzz@gmail.com (Judith Brandy) — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 16:00:06 +0000

Stargate Atlantis: The Official Companion, Season 1
First there was the blockbuster Stargate movie, then the smash hit TV series Stargate SG-1, and now there s the equally successful spinoff show: Stargate Atlantis!
A new Stargate team embarks on a dangerous mission to a distant galaxy, where they discover a mythical lost city and a deadly new enemy the Wraith. New characters, new planets, new alien encounters: but the same irresistible brand of Stargate adventure!
Here s the official companion to the first season, packed with behind the scenes interviews, an episode guide and scores of photos, including a 16pp colour gallery.
Customer Review: Good Stuff For Stargate Fans
One of my criteria for judging an episode guide is: Does it have anything to say about various minor recurring characters? Because typically I like them more than the main cast. So my question in reading this book was, did it find time to include an entry on Dr. Zelenka? Yes. Yes, it did. And all was right with the world.

This is a guide to the first season of "Stargate Atlantis", a spin-off, of course, to the popular "Stargate: SG-1" series. In this show, our group of heroes and heroines is stuck in the Pegasus Galaxy after a one-way transgalactic hop via a super-powered gate dial-out from the SGC on Earth. They hope to find the lost city of Atlantis, home of the long-ago-ascended Ancients, and find it they do. Unfortunately, they also discover that the Ancients bailed out of Pegasus some 10,000 years ago after accidentally creating their own nemeses in the form of the Wraith, who really enjoy treating humans as tasty lifeforce snacks. And while there are various human-settled worlds still to be found, not all of them are delighted to see the folks from Earth show up, especially once word gets around that the Stargate team sort of accidentally woke the Wraith back up way before schedule.

This book presents a brief summary of each episode of the first season, along with some minimal cast and crew notes. There's also commentary provided by cast and crew about what went on in the making of the episodes, what their original intentions had been, what worked and what didn't. There are brief character sketches of the main cast, which really have much more to do with details on the actors and how they got the roles and how they approach them.

Also included is a section on the development of the show and another on some of the departments or key players (stunts, production design) behind the scenes. A lot of photos are provided, mostly in black and white but a few publicity stills in color.

I had very low expectations for this book based on previous Stargate episode guides, but it very much exceeded them. It's not a classic of its kind nor indispensable, but if you're a keen fan of the show and you really want to know some of the details about what it takes to put together an episode, you won't be disappointed.

Poker Night in Atlantis

Poker night in Atlantis. The women play a separate game from the men. It used to be coed, until Cadman or Weir cleaned out the rest of the players once too often. (Besides, there was the whole currency debate the women wanted to play for chocolate and the men for coffee.) The men worried about the women complaining when they brought up the subject of segregating the games by gender, but the women had decided that the men were too whiny when they lost and conversation was much more interesting when it was just the girls.

Girls poker night involves a rotating cast made up of whoever is free. The women are few enough in number that they all know each other, at least casually. Chocolate, snacks and erotica are the preferred currencies. Conversation involves gossip, who may or may not be sleeping together, extended grilling of anyone whose personal life might be getting interesting, and shamelessly explicit discussion of the men on Atlantis (and sometimes the SGC). When Weir can make it, she avoids active participation in most of the discussions. She loves to listen, though and has found it an effective source of information. Cadman and Weir still walk away winners a disproportionate number of nights, but they all have enough fun that no one really minds. Teyla took a while to get the basics down, but she is improving rapidly.

The men have a couple of games going. There is one game made up mostly of military and another made up mostly of scientists. (The support staff wants to get a regular game going, but they never seem to have any free time they do drop in on the other games on rare occasions.)

The most interesting men s game has a mix of participants from different disciplines. Any given game might include Sheppard, Lorne, McKay, Zelenka, Beckett, and a soldier or scientist who was part of the original expedition. Ronon Dex has been learning the game and while he is still sorting out what beats what and the odds of drawing a winning hand, he has proven surprisingly adept at bluffing. McKay has a lousy poker face and is usually the first to leave the table. Sheppard counts cards, unless he gets distracted. Lorne and Zelenka make it a point to wind up McKay into a full blown rant (science in television shows works well) because a ranting McKay is the most effective way to distract Sheppard. Lorne is so low key, no one notices when he s cleaning out the table until it s too late; and Zelenka is so devious, he s equally hard to catch. Beckett stares at each hand with the same concerned face he uses on his patients. Currency is coffee, DVD s of fairly recent sports events, and porn. Conversation usually involves debating the merits of various sports (don t get Lorne started on the superiority of baseball), dissection of off-world missions and lab incidents requiring rescue efforts, and the women. If anyone asks, Sheppard and Lorne never discuss any of the women under their command, and no one discusses Teyla. The truth of the matter, though, is whatever happens at poker night, stays at poker night.
