Oh yes! Humour! I've always thought you can judge how well written a show is by how many lines you can take out and laugh at :)
And they started so well, right from Rising. Jack: Daniel, warm welcome. Daniel: Wasn't me. How did you manage to . . . Jack: Keep my ass from being blown out of the sky? The exceptional flying of Major John Sheppard. He likes it here. Daniel: Exceptional? You like it here? Jack: Let's say we skip to the part where you start talking real fast.
Jack: This isn't a long trip so I'll be as succinct as possible. (Long silence) Sheppard: Well, that's pretty succinct. Jack: Thank you
Possibly that was my love of Jack shining through *g*
Ford: Gateship One ready to go. Sheppard: Gateship One? A little puddle jumper like this?! Ford: It’s a ship, it goes through the gate. Gateship One. Sheppard: Oh no, no, no, that’s all wrong. Ford: Dr. McKay thought it was cool. Sheppard: Oh, okay. Well, it’s official. You don’t get to name anything. Ever. Flight, this is . . . Puddle Jumper. We’re go for launch. McKay: This is Flight. I thought we were going with Gateship? Sheppard: Negative, Flight. McKay: Stand by. (looks at Weir) It’s a ship, it goes through the gate . . . fine. Puddle Jumper, you are clear for launch.
I just love, love, how they take time out from an important and kinda terrifying mission to mess around with each other :)
McKay: You got your eye on anyone? Beckett: Not really. McKay: Actually, I was talking to the mouse. But now you mention it, some of those Athosian women are pretty hot. And we did just save them from the Wraith, so we got to trade on that while we can, you know? Before they discover that we're not actually that cool.
Sheppard: You like football? Weir: No, not really. Sheppard: Oh, come on, it’s real, it's unpredictable, it's full of passion and . . . beer. Hotdogs. McKay: Cheerleaders.
Oh Rodney! :)
Ford: Anyone else call shotgun? Sheppard: Just going to drive around the planet, check it out. Ford: Oh, you're just checking out the planet. Never mind, then, that's cool. I mean, I've got better things to be doing than cruising around the planet in a space ship. Sheppard: You're like a kid, you know that? Ford: Yes, sir. I brought along something to eat on the ride. Sheppard: What's that? Ford: How about a nice turkey sandwich? Sheppard: Let's go.
I miss Ford!
Sheppard: You think it's worth checking out? McKay: Any significant energy emission generally indicates technological civilization. Sheppard: So you thinks it's worth checking out. McKay: I'm sorry, yes. Energy field good.
McKay: You’re right! If only we had a magical tool that could slow down time. I foolishly left mine on Earth, did you bring yours? Zelenka: You know, you’re not pleasant when you’re like this, McKay. McKay: I’m always like this. Zelenka: My point exactly.
YAY! More snark! And from Radek! That's always priceless :)
And because we're on Radek and this moment is just too cute. Weir: Well, keep me in the loop. Zelenka: You are the loop!
McKay flirting could be it's own entire post too *g* but for now..
Allina: It doesn’t look much like a map. I guess I was wrong. McKay: Possibly. Although just because you thought it was a map, it doesn’t make your initial assumption bad or incorrect. Well, incorrect, yes, but . . . it was a good guess.
LOL, and I was just gonna do a couple from Rising. Anyway I guess that was your point :)
