Rewatching 'SGA: Rising'

[tielan]

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!!

Watching Rising is such a bittersweet experience knowing what comes later, but I still love that episode.

It is! So very bittersweet! *sigh* But it is a good episode, full of hope and promise! (And they're so young!)
