Umm for some reason I got all picspammy with this episode reaction post.
SGA 5x05 - Ghost in the MachineFLYING MONKEYS WITH BEAKS, WHAT. I DEMAND TO ACTUALLY SEE THESE IN AN EPISODE.
I am still in love with the whooshy blue credits. You'd think I'd get tired of them after four seasons, but no.
ALSO I AM KIND OF LOVING THE ROBERT PICARDO CHARACTER. HE IS SO OUT OF HIS ELEMENT AND IT'S AWESOME.

OH GOD AT THE "HELP" SCENE I TOTALLY FLAILED.

They really need to give Ronon more to do instead of just letting him sit around looking kinda hot.

OMG THE RETURN OF FRAN/WEIR!


I totally made like a zillion icons out of that cap of Ronon with the gun.
Also, Zelenka's face was so cute when FranWeir was talking. He's sooooooo in love with Weir still.

Woolsey: "For all we know, it could be Oberoth inside that body."
John: "That's creepy."
Oh, John, always thinking of sexytimes. YOU KNOW he was thinking of hitting that when he saw FranWeir.

FranWeir: "Torren, for your father, and John... Colonel Sheppard. Wait, uh, you're not saying that John is, uh?"
Teyla: "No, no, the father is Athosian."
AHAHHAHAHHA BEST EVER WEIR WAS SO LIKE "UH, TEYLA, I HOPE YOU DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH JOHN SHEPPARD, BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY SURE YOU'D NEVER GO THERE."

I love how FranWeir looked to John for confirmation before she went ahead with sending the replicators Woolsey's threat, and then looked at him again when she was done. It wasn't the smirky "oh, come
on, I have to take orders from
this windbag?" look that Torri Higginson would have had, but it was enough.


And, ahahha, FINALLY we get to see that Weir can negotiate, in what's probably her LAST appearance on the show. GREAT JOB, WRITING TEAM. We've only been told this is her greatest strength from the start. Oh wait, nevermind, that was the plan all along. DAMN YOU, WRITERS.
Here is a cap of Teyla just because:

John: "Well, what if one of them decides to stay?"
OH GOD, JOHN AND ELIZABETH ARE SO BFFS. B
FFFs EVEN. I want to re-watch earlier seasons with this in mind. I bet they hang out after their duty shifts and watch soaps. John would LOVE soap operas. They're probably like, his THING that he does to relax, and Rodney makes fun of him for it. And Weir just put up with it to encourage good working relations, though she also admitted that seeing John flip out about the various plot developments was pretty funny. And NO, I don't know how or why they get soap operas on Atlantis, but I bet there are stores of old Atlantean soaps on data crystals somewhere.
Rodney: "There's no breaks, no chitchat, no social interaction whatsoever. It's just the perfect working environment."
lol RODNEY.

John: "Shoot them. Keep shooting. They'll go down eventually."
I think John likes us to think he has no heart. BUT HE DOES. IT'S JUST THREE SIZES TOO SMALL SOMETIMES.
FranWeir looking ~fierce~

and OH GOD, ELIZABETH.





But, to be fair, replicators HAVE come back from being frozen in space before, so maybe they'll bring her back someday?
And sometime during either the seventh or eighth episode of the first season of
Supernatural, I switched from being a Dean girl to being a Sam girl. His long lanky legs and stupid wide smile grew on me.
Come on, tell me this smile is not just too cartoonish:

This was when I first realized his legs went on forever:


And here is his face after he and Dean had this conversation (paraphrased):
Dean: Dad loved you.
Sam: O RLY?
Dean: YA RLY.
Sam: SOMEHOW, I DOUBT YOU.
Dean: No, dude, he loved you so much that while you were at Stanford he stalked you.
Sam: I'm not sure whether I should be touched or creeped out. Or just flabbergasted.
Dean: FLABBERGASTED? DON'T USE BIG WORDS AROUND ME, YOU KNOW I GET UPSET ABOUT IT.

At first I was like, "That neat bald guy looks familiar. Is that the doctor hologram from Star Trek? ...or is that ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WALTER SKINNER?" Anyway, I was excited. I get a little overexcited when I recognize actors. Like when I realized that Lt. Cain was Ensgin Ro, I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT.
