Watching Stargate

Oh… the agony…

It’s only two days until the Atlantis Season Four premiere. As such, the itch that I haven’t been able to scratch for a few months should be getting better. But oh, no! It’s worse. The closer we get, the harder it is to wait. So here’s my list of twosomes that I long to see again.

1. McKay and Sheppard – They make me laugh so much with their brotherly high jinks.
2. Ronin and Teyla – I’m not a Reyla ship fan, however, I am a huge Reyla gen fan! Watching them exchange looks behind the backs of the mad Earthers is just lovely.
3. Lorne and Zelenka – These two characters have developed an odd but enjoyable friendship. I hear there’s even slash for them. O_O Heavens.
4. McKay and Beckett — *sob*
5. Kolya and Sheppard – It seriously chafes me that they killed Kolya. He was a wonderful villain, dark but funny, scary but intriguing. I miss him…

It’s now three torturous days until the Stargate: Atlantis Season Four Premiere! And so I present to you my three lists of three things. Personally, I think they’re three-rrific.

1. Chaya (Need you ask??? Chaya is a lying, conniving little *bleep.* While I don’t entirely blame her for hiding her ascendiness, I do blame her for giving our heroes false hope that a compromise might be reached.)
2. Allina (The Back-Stabbing Bimbo from The Brotherhood! I soooooo despise this woman. She played on Rodney’s affections and then betrayed him. My Rodney! Honestly. Some people should be neutered.)
3. Shen Xiaoyi (The only Chinese, and only female member of the IOA, Shen turned on Weir in a heartbeat to cover her own butt.)

1. Major Lorne (Who doesn’t love the extreme hotness that is Lorne? His smile is adorable, verging on John Sheppard adorable, and he paints. If he cooks, the man is perfect. Plus, I own www.kavansmith.com. And Lorne is played by Kavan Smith. J
2. Michael (When he’s human.) I have loved the actor who plays Michael since his role in Star Trek: Enterprise.
3. Ronin (*Just paste a goofy grin on my face and move on.*)

1. Woolsey (He flips position more often than a flapjack. I really can’t stand this guy. And that is despite adoring Robert Picardo. I don’t even love to hate Woosley. I just hate him.
2. Kavanagh (Bleh!)
3. Smeadon (Double-Crossing Guy from The Storm and The Eye)

The following are spoilers for season 4 of Stargate: Atlantis. Read at your own peril!

David Hewlett (Dr. Rodney McKay) announced on Twitter that fans will be treated to seeing McKay trapped inside a small room with love interest Dr. Katie Brown during the episode “Quarantine.”

Stargate: Atlantis executive producer Joe Mallozzi told Sci Fi Wire that season 4 will find a new technologically advanced Race of humans being introduced in the Pegasus galaxy.

Comicon 2007

Amanda Tapping (Colonel Dr. Samantha Carter) will be joining the cast of Atlantis for an unknown number of episodes. Carter will take Weir’s place as the head of the Atlantis base, fact which Tapping says will put Carter well outside her comfort zone.

Torri Higginson (Dr. Elizabeth Weir) has gone from full time cast member for season 4. Whether this status will continue in season 5 is unknown.

Comicon 2006

Actress Rachel Luttrel is pregnant, and her character Teyla Emmagan will share that condition, announcing her pregnancy to another alien during the episode “The Seer.” Several cast and crew members have discussed the story arc in recent interviews, so it is definite!

Due to apparently overwhelming fan outcry at the death of Dr. Carson Beckett in the season 3 episode “Sunday,” Paul McGillion will be reprising the role in season 4. Exactly what form Beckett’s return will take is unclear, however, Joe Mallozzi assured fans that it will be Beckett “in the flesh” and not a hologram or some other such trick.

Actress Kate Hewlett, sister of David Hewlett, will reprise her role as Jeanie Miller, sister of Dr. Rodney McKay, in season 4 in the episode “Miller’s Crossing.”
