Rewatching 'SGA: Rising'

Watching John sitting in the Antarctica chair for the first time, I'm reminded of one of my favourite scenes from the upcoming book "The Furies" by Jo Graham and a quote from John about how he uses the Ancient tech so easily: "And I totally let the city top."

*gurgles*

I hope they didn't have to take that line out.

Incidentally, "The Furies" is due out in late June - plenty of everyone, but the major agents in the storyline are Teyla and Sam and Jennifer. John spends a lot of time in prisons on his knees, Ronon has to be diplomatic, and Rodney is wonderfully cunning.

Rewatching this is a little heartbreaking. Ford! Peter! Sumner! Weir! They're so young! They're so innocent! So much hope!

(Ford just threw himself through the wormhole. OH FORD. And the lights are coming on of their own accord! And O'Neill just rolled a bottle of champers through the Stargate!)

...it's actually a little distracting, trying to work and listening to this at the same time.

But they're just about to meet Teyla!!

focus...or not

I'm really struggling to focus this morning. Maybe because I've just been handed a new piece of work and it always takes me a while to get into something new. I just can't concentrate on what needs to be done (although it should be rather simple).

I want to be writing or reading or quilting or watching SGA - basically doing anything other than work!
