I can be short about SGA 3x13 Irresponsible

[rodneyscat]

Watched it:

My first reaction when I saw the first few minutes: Egad, Lucius. Meh. I don't feel in a hurry to watch this episode...

Of course I went and watched the whole thing anyway. Can we just forget this episode ever happened? Ok, so Kolya is dead now, that we gotta remember, but otherwise? I went from yawning, to irritated checking if this episode wasn't bloody over yet so I could some homework. Yes, it was that bad. Predictable, irritating, lame jokes, some of the worst writing for supporting characters I've ever seen (that woman?! Oh god... *wince*), all the dialog that wasn't by the main cast was utter crap, right down to the scenery and props (those conifers in plastic pots wtf?) and the shoot-out at the end.

[edit] paceus pointed out something that made the episode worthwhile; check out the comments for a wee clip (12 seconds).

I think that the strip of John's bare hips that was visible in at least two clips made the whole episode worth watching. :)

Is that so?! I'm going to check right now!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oooh, found it; I'll make a clip of it so people can watch it without having to drag out the whole episode :D

[paceus.livejournal.com]

That's very kind of you! As a matter of fact I can't find it myself anymore, so I'm glad you located it.

[paceus.livejournal.com]

Ah -- 29 minutes. :)

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

yep :D (http://www.xs4all.nl/~dutche/john%20hip-action%203x13.wmv)

I can't get the video better quality though (image is stretched and it's blurry compared to the original). I'll make a couple of screencaps later to make up for that. Any excuse to get another look at this is a good one.

Screencaps are love.

As is hip action. John should really consider wearing the same type of clothes as Teyla.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

He should wear low-slung cargopants, with slim-fitting t-shirt and do a lot of reaching up. Or, you know, do some strenuous job that requires taking off his shirt (and wear low-slung cargopants and reach up a lot.

And have Rodney's eyes wandering while I'm at it.

But come on, there was more things to enjoy than just this, lol! Just come and see my caps! :p

P.S. I managed to convert your Michael vs Atlantis Clip to a iTunes playable format. Now I am happily playing it in iTunes :D.

Do you want me to upload the file for you?

Now I am happily playing it in iTunes :D

You are?! *blushes happily*

Yeah, I'd love an upload of that file! :D

well, I have two version: a version of quality similar to your original file, but because I changed the aspect ratio back to 16:9, it's file size doubled!????

The other version is low res, I don't want to make my iTunes library too big:
