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. 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.
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.

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.
I am a science fiction writer, cancer survivor and lover of all things science fiction. Love Trek, new and old Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1 & Stargate Atlantis & Babylon 5. I also started studying Japanese as I'm headed to Southeast Asia next year to visit my daughter, Vash, who will be teaching English to Japanese students there.
