One tango, middle of the room
SGA 2x17: Coup D'etat
A few short "squee" moments.
McKay and Sheppard on wanted posters.
McKay attempting to do military hand gestures.
Proof that fanfiction authors know what they're talking about when they write "Genii kidnap McKay" stories.
McKay passing out beautifully.
The yellow glasses. (Need I say more about them?)
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode, although why they put McKay on the strike force is beyond me. I’m not complaining that they did, but in a situation like that wouldn't a real soldier be a better option than a scientist masquerading as one? Although it did give us the whole yellow glasses, so then it can't be all bad.
I also loved the whole double plot twist. I saw the first one coming. The second, not so much. And THAT'S what makes it fun.
Sad about Cowen. He was a fun villian—but he'll always be Chief O'Brien to me.
Favorite lines:
McKay: You know, I’m not sure that you’ve sufficiently trained me in actual combat. I don’t know how much use I’d be in a fight-our-way-out kind of scenario.
Sheppard: Well, I look at it this way: the Genii have tried to kidnap you on numerous occasions to mine that big old brain of yours.
McKay: Yes.
Sheppard: Well, if we get into trouble, I’ll just trade your life for mine.
McKay: Oh, funny.
Sheppard: Don’t worry: if you survive, I’ll mount some sort of rescue mission ... eventually.
Weir: Good thinking
Sheppard: Could have been Mensa.
Sheppard: Beckett’s the best doctor in two galaxies. If there’s a cure, he’s got it.
Sheppard (as he enters the prison cell where Lorne and his team are standing): Major. Boys.
Lorne: Colonel.
Sheppard: Way to be alive.
Lorne: Thanks, sir! So, have you come to rescue us?
Sheppard: Well, until about a moment ago I thought were dead, but now that I see you speaking and breathing, yeah, I’m thinkin’ about it.
Lorne: Well, good! Let me know if there’s anything we can do to help, huh?
Sheppard: What do you want with the Jumpers?
Cowen: What do I want with invisible spaceships that could fly to other worlds and even deliver our atomic weapons?
Sheppard: Well, since you put it that way ...
Sheppard: Where are my men?
Ladon: Oh, they’ll wake up in an hour or so with a pretty big headache, but they’re fine. Just like you.
Sheppard: I’m a lot of things right now, fine isn’t one of them.
Sheppard: Drop it.
Ladon (dropping a small knife): All right. Feel safer?
Sheppard: A little bit.
McKay (making hand gestures): One tango, middle of the room. What, isn’t that right?
Dex (to Weir about the ‘wanted’ list): And why aren’t we on it?
Weir: Excuse me?
Dex: Sheppard’s on the list; McKay is on the list. Why aren’t Teyla and me?
Weir: What, you’re feeling left out?
Dex: I just wanna know who thinks I’m not a threat and give ‘em a chance to change their mind.
McKay: See how I almost stunned that guy?
Sheppard: I must have missed it.
McKay: Yeah, but if he was, like, a step to the right, I would’ve stunned him for sure.
Sheppard: Good for you!
Weir: A raid?
Sheppard: Oh, yes, a raid! If this is their main base of operations, I’m willing to bet the ZPM is there.
Weir: And, what, just steal it?
McKay: Well, the Brotherhood stole it from us, Ladon stole it from the Brotherhood. It’s not really stealing, it’s, um...
Sheppard: ... recovery!
Cowen: My men will see you to the Gate.
McKay (after Cowen leaves): Well, that was refreshing! He didn’t try to kill us even once!
Sheppard: What do you want for it?
Ladon: I’ll only talk with Weir.
Sheppard: Do I make you nervous?
Ladon: Not at all, Major. I’m just not interested in talking to the errand boy.
Sheppard: That’s Lieutenant Colonel Errand Boy to you.
Sheppard: What, no ZPM?
Ladon: I sent it to another planet for safekeeping, how stupid do you think I am?
Sheppard: What I remember, I gave you a pretty good crack on the head last time we met. So, I was kinda hoping it made you simple.
Ladon: No, it didn’t, but ever since then I’ve been plagued with headaches.
Sheppard: You’re just saying that to be nice.
McKay: A ZPM is a ZPM. Who cares where it comes from?
Sheppard: We’ve already got one.
McKay: Yes, one.
Ronon: Two is better than one.
McKay: And three is better than two. Look, we all know that eventually the Wraith are going to discover we’re still here. Having more power means that we have more options. We might even be able to light up those engines and get the city to fly.
Sheppard: Really?
McKay: No, but we still need it.
Sheppard (to Mckay): You stay here with Lindsay.
Mckay: Right, sure. Oh and hey, if you hear gunfire just know that’s me holding back our attackers all on my own!
McKay: What the hell happened?
Sheppard: We got gassed.
McKay: Are we in some sort of trouble?
Sheppard: Was it the gas or the prison cell that was your first clue?
