Oh, wow! I saw this coming...
SGA 2x15: The Tower
So, who liked the Renaissance dress? Or how about the trappings in the gateroom? You can put your hands down now.
I liked this episode better the second time around, but my initial reaction at seeing the Otho was: "he looks familiar." Thought I was watching Babylon 5 (which is never a bad thing to do) for a moment.
So, these people have decided on a feudal system where those with the last remnants of the ATA gene get to play with the big chair and "protect" the poor villagers below—while also taking everything they can from them. I figured out where this was going early on, but it was still an interesting episode to watch. Sheppard gets the girl and Rodney gets a new sidekick—at least for a little while.
Favorite lines:
Sheppard: We got the drones, we got a few Jumpers; I even got the girl.
Weir: You got the girl?!
Sheppard: Well, I mean I could have got the girl. I turned her down.
Weir: What did you offer them in return for the drones and the Jumpers?
Sheppard: A supply of medicines and an IDC if they need to reach us. We also offered to help them come up with a new way of running things when the time comes.
Weir: They didn't offer you King?!
Sheppard: I turned that down too!
Baldrick: What'll happen if you succeed?
McKay: Well, two possibilities. Either we create a nice sturdy shaft that will give us some much-needed air and provide a big enough gap for the radio signal to get through, or it will bring the already unsteady ceiling down on us, burying us both alive.
Baldrick: I prefer to imagine the first possibility.
McKay: Yes, yes, the power of positive thinking.
Baldrick: I can't believe that worked!
McKay: What happened to positive thinking?
Baldrick: I lied.
McKay: Well, if I can find the ZPM, then we can shut these people down whenever we want. Without the Drone Chair, they're just a bunch of primitive thugs with axes and knives.
Beckett: Axes and knives can cause damage, Rodney!
Mora: Maybe there's something I can do to make you more comfortable.
Sheppard: Uh, I don't think so, uh ...
Mora (to Sheppard as she drops her gown): Are you certain?
Sheppard: Oh, wow! I ... I never see this coming!
Teyla: We have a problem. They took Colonel Sheppard.
McKay: What? Who did?
Teyla: Soldiers from the Tower. They confiscated our weapons.
McKay: What, and you let them?
Teyla: Establishing good relations with our neighbors is not just about trade.
McKay: Right, but do we need to make friends with every primitive agrarian society in the Pegasus galaxy?
Sheppard: Alright, that's enough. They can't all be planets with cool technology and open-minded women.
Beckett: I really need to stop making housecalls.
