SGA Traveler picspam/Recap

Just to warn, I liked it. Well, I tend to like every show I watch. I watch TV to have fun, so I ignore and forget the little things that bother me. It works with Smallville, Lost, Heroes, etc... I could make a squee post about even the Lucius episodes.

English is not my first language, so beware of grammar mistakes. Some McKay/Sheppard slipped inside, I expected it. Some Rodney/Ronon too, that, that was a little surprise.

Like every picspam I ever done, there are too much caps. *cough*225*cough*. So it's splits in 4 posts.

Teaser

John took the opportunity to watch what people with low inhibition looks like in the same time as a re-supply mission, and plays the Casanova on gate-phone with Rodney because he knows it'll piss him off. It's one of his favourite past time after all. Plus, it's a paradise tropical. Elizabeth is gone, Ronon almost left, he saw a clown, he was eaten by a whale, Rodney died, he got beaten by himself…He wanted a little break. And Rodney is all bitchy, and he wins 5 points for that. 15 for the proud expression, 30 if he has more than 10 different ways to die, and 100 when he gets the Happy Face.




"Are you doing this to bother me?"

"Of course not. Does it work?"


After reading the other reviews, I feel like my mind is not as much in the gutter as I thought. For me, the "they were very friendly" was just teasing. It's not John to go for women like that. Talk about it, watch, yes, act on it, not so much. They must literally jump into his arms to make him react. I took the description of the people from this planet like those in "Brief Candle", the SG1 episode. Fast summary, a Goa'uld used nanites on them to make them grow up faster than usual, their life lasted 100 days or something, so they were adult in 14 days. And they married and have children fast, seeing they'll die soon, so no time lost in long presentation. One of them gave the worst STD ever to O'Neill after drugging him, he aged mega fast. He was the poster boy for why you always use protection off-world.



Pretty to watch, and not ashamed to show their bodies. Okay, more primitive. But now confess, if you find a planet full of Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett, Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa, Kavan Smith walking around in skimpy clothes, would you really look elsewhere?

Back to the show…

Their discussion is rudely interrupted by a bigger ship which shoots at the jumper. Both stop kidding around and John just have the time to tell he can't use the weapons, before the communications are completely shut down.







The "Sheppard!" worried of Rodney get nothing, neither the "Rodney? McKay!" of John. And he can only watch when his Jumper is picked up by the other ship, which opens a hyperspace window and leave.






Travelers' Ship

While he's led to a cell by two men, John shares his decorator's tips, because the ship clearly saw better days and he can't stand the view. Poor spaceship. One of them takes his blood and pats his arm, because they're out of lollipop to make it better. The other lurks on LJ and knows the fangirl, so he put him on his knees fast. Also, he interrogates him and hits him.









Atlantis

Back in Atlantis, Rodney used the few hints he has to deduce the ship wasn't Wraith, Ancient or/and Replicator. And they used a hyperspace window. Because they're the only ones they know who possess the technology, they have no idea of who attacked Sheppard. Even Rodney's hairs are worried.




Travelers' Ship

On the ship, John is now offered to the whumpers. He's not really bothered; he knows that later, Teyla/Ronon/Rodney/Zelenka/Lorne/Selena BlancheColombe (strike according the preference) will take care of him. Silas doesn't like Sheppard's humor though, and just when he's going to hit him again, he's interrupted by the boss, a really beautiful woman accompanied by the other man, Nevik. She doesn't want to let him be Mr Fantastic, and warn him that she tends to blow up the men who disappoint her. John doesn't mind cooperate if they do the same thing, but she's not really okay with that. She's more a "my terms or nothing" kind of girl.






Still, she tries something else, and brings him to her table. The food doesn't really enchant him, and he tried Teyla's cooking. That must be from the same world than the tuna torture of O'Neill.



Meanwhile, the woman, Larrin, expositions (it's a verb now) her situation. Her and her people are Travelers, they live on spaceships to avoid the Wraiths, only landing for reparations and supplies.
She agrees that her method is not the best to win the trust of someone, but it's perfect to make them understand who's the boss. Oh, and she want his gene. Or anyways, she wants a way to use the Lantian technology. They knew about the new kids on the block, they waited for one of them, and when they saw him, they took him before he left.





And to be really, really sure he helps them, she force him into the hangar bay, activate the force shield, and open the door of the hangar. And he didn't even made the joke of wanting a room with view on space. Well now, he has it. And he also can see an Ancient Spaceship.


"Really, just a touch of paint. I think Ochre, for the color."


She gives him the deal he wanted: he helps them to initialise the interface of the ship to be able to let them recreate the technology or/and find a way to use it themselves and he stays alive. Fair enough. Every habitants of Pegasus who still have weapons and ability to fight against the Wraith react to them like that, even Ronon attacked first and asked question later. For his part, John doesn't tell he tend to blow up every ship he touches.

Ancient Ship
Anyways, the Travelers found that the Ancients left their ship after an attack because it's so damaged it gives off radiation. They set up some shield emitters to protect the most important areas and they have radiation detectors. John wants one, but they don't have more.


"Some mirrors here, the effect would be awesome."

Eyes on the detector, people. I know mine weren't.


Once on the bridge with Silas and Nevik, John turns on the panel command and Nevik, who is the scientist of the group, asks him to fly forward. John try to makes him understand his mistake, but Silas threaten him. He's not the patient kind. So John explaines to them that Nevik should have ask for the inertial dampener first, before making the ship fly.






The two men and Larrin, in another corridor, are projected against the walls. John stole the gun of Silas, which is like Ronon's gun and stuns them. Then, he opens the hyperspace window and flies the ship away.



Team Sheppard Lorne

In the planet, the rest of the team with Lorne look for him and are forced to concluded John is not nearby and that he could be anywhere in the galaxy in the ship which attacked him. Ronon want to now the next step, but Rodney is not psychic, so there's no next step. Nobody are bothered by this because they know Rodney, it's not because he's sure there're no solutions that he'll stop looking.


*Ronon/Rodney Telepathy* Use your super secret powers. Or my hair will find you tonight.


On the ship, Larrin shut off the protection against the radiation of the bridge to force Sheppard to quit the hyperspace. He's sure she's bluffing, but like the toys Silas and Nevik just told him, she'll prefer kill the three of them than letting him go with the ship. That's something he didn't plan.


Look this hair!

"Stop the ship or I'll kill you!"

"Hmmmmmm…"

"Nope!"


*smirk* "That's my Captain."


So he do like she want and he's back to the cell. Looking very, very, very worried. That's his best slouch in four years.





Nevik is not amused, John shut all the systems off before surrender himself, and they're all stranded if he can't make the modification himself. Maybe they should let John help, because he's in danger as much as them. But Larrin is not stupid and understand that if John is not worried, it's because he did something, and she asks Nevik to check the communication array, broken the last time they saw it.



Atlantis

Loyal to himself, Rodney used some toys of the Ancient, supposed to look for artificial sound pattern. Maybe knowing he couldn't do anything, he counted on John for the next step, because he detected a S.O.S., and he knows it can only be John. Apparently, John and Rodney thought to teach all about Alien to Teyla and Ronon, but they didn't think to talk about the SOS in the four years they know them.


Hmmm, Rodney's arms.

Hmmm, Rodney's hands.





"I totally understood that."


"So blablabla means that, and…"

"Okay, if you said so. The Hair will spare you tonight."


End of the first part.

Part 2.

Before I even proceed further into reading your very entertaining picspam, can I just give you a heartfelt "YES!" for this:

"After reading the other reviews, I feel like my mind is not as much in the gutter as I thought. For me, the "they were very friendly" was just teasing. It's not John to go for women like that. Talk about it, watch, yes, act on it, not so much."

"But now confess, if you find a planet full of Joe Flanigan, David Hewlett, Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa, Kavan Smith walking around in skimpy clothes, would you really look elsewhere?"

Pretty much - yes.

Just to avoid spontaneous combustion, of course. *g*

Aah, if it's a question of security, of course... :)

Okay, there's really no sense to make a comment every time you said something I want to respond to. So, here, all in one now. *g*

>>The other lurks on LJ and knows the fangirl, so he put him on his knees fast. <<

And aren't we grateful to him for *that*? *g* Somehow Sheppard on his knees *never* gets old. *G*

>>She's more a "my terms or nothing" kind of girl. <<

And this screencap where she investigates the damage to Sheppard's face?

*spontaneous combustion*

See, that's what I tried to avoid. ;-)

>>The food doesn't really enchant him, and he tried Teyla's cooking.

And the only time he liked it was in Teyla's *nightmare* in Doppelgänger. *g* Doesn't this say a lot about her cooking - and about the quality of the Traveler's ... I refuse to call this "food". *g*

>>And he didn't even made the joke of wanting a room with view on space. Well now, he has it.<<

A classic case of "be careful what you wish for". *ggg*

>>John stole the gun of Silas, which is like Ronon's gun and stuns them.<<

And can I just say that's kinda hot how he does this so casually without even *looking* at them? Ah, me bad, I'm not supposed to find something like that appealing. *ggg* Mom would be so disappointed in me.

>>*smirk* "That's my Captain."<<

I have no clue why I find this so hysterically funny, but I *do*. :-)

>>but they didn't think to talk about the SOS in the four years they know them. <<

They will make up for this failure pretty fast, I guess. *g*

Man, I have so much fun with your commentaries. On to the next page. *g*

I agree completely Sheppard went to the planet of lowered inhibitions to watch the surf because he's had a bad last few weeks and needed a mental health break. He was just pulling Rodney's chain. Am enjoying commentary and pics, Thanks!

Thanks you!
