SGA 3x01 - No Man's Land initial thoughts
So....can I mention that I'm very happy that the new season has started? All new episodes where I can stare at Rodney is a good thing.
A few notes...thoughts...if you don't want to be spoiled, I'd stop reading now...
Good episode overall. I'll watch it again this weekend I imagine and give you my final answer then. I love the fact that this is episode four in a five-episode arc (at least as far as I can tell at this point).
Rodney downloads porn....eh...music. Yeah, music, where he gets those spyware programs. You have to love his speak first, think/self-edit later mentality. For someone who works in top secret facilities on classified projects, he does know how to keep a secret, but for some reason he tends to be very honest about himself verging into TMI territory. Not that I mind, but it sure is amusing.
Lorne and Zelenka...those two rock. I'm liking the secondary characters just as much as the primary ones and I'm hoping that the writers make good use of them throughout. But Lorne captaining his own ship with Zelenka running around fixing things so it doesn't come crashing down around them is great.
Ronon and Rodney...I have to say that the two of them were very funny together in this episode. They are such opposites, and they play off each other very well. My only question: where exactly was that knife?
Elizabeth...I like her being strong and standing up for her actions and her decisions. Always nice to see Walter.
John and his Kirk complex...amusing that he finally realized that he needs to listen to Rodney and Radek more when they're talking science stuff instead of staring at the brunette at the other table. And then, of course, there was Mission This is Going to End Badly. Oh...and we also have Sheppard playing "mom" with the "Because I said so" line. If that's not a mom line, than I'm not sure what kind of mom you had.
And special effects for the ep were great. Poor Orion though. Why is it that they always nearly destroy or totally destroy the cool ships they get/borrow?
And on a personal note: it seems like the DVR worked like a charm (woohoo). Now to figure out how to edit and make DVDs. That's for another day though.
