Picspam what?

It has been stated lately that Rodney is the only reason to watch SGA; this notion is patently false. To combat it, I present to you:

Ten Reasons to Watch Stargate Atlantis (That Have Nothing To Do With Rodney McKay)

1. Teyla Emmagan



Teyla has no caption; Teyla needs no caption. Her badassery is self-evident.

2. Sergeant Charles Campbell



Don't fuck with Chuck. He'll send your ass to the wrong planet, and he won't even feel bad about it.

3. Richard Woolsey



Because he plays well with others.



Maybe a little too well.

4. Christopher Heyerdahl

Because he started out playing this guy:



And ended up playing this guy:



And that makes him a badass.

5. Ronon Dex



I mean. Just.

Look! Even his action figure is sexy!

6. Major Evan (probably) Lorne



Lorne is disturbed by this picspam.

You should see what happened to the last fan who snuck up on him.



7. John Sheppard



You may experience a desire to pet him. There is no shame in this.



He does appreciate a warning, however.

8. Elizabeth Weir



Even hot when she is being sad and intense.



And look! She comes with Sheppard and Teyla!*

9. Carson Beckett



Even hot when he's a clone (or... a Chinese peasant? WTF Michael, fire your tailor)

10. Radek Zelenka



He solves problems!



He promotes cooperation!



He saves Rodney's (commingled) ass!

And there you have it. Proof. Empirical proof.

*But she fakes it with Rodney

Thumbs up.

For crying out loud, BRING ON THE SHAME!

Ha!

You make me want to write a hate-on-Rodney ficlet. Which I would probably do with very little prompting. Say, if someone gave me a prompt. hint hint

And also? That picture of Weir/Sheppard/Emmagen makes me think sad thoughts about how relaxed the other two look, while Rachel Luttrel has a "Really? I still don't even get shirtsleeves? They have jackets!" look on her face.

[sabinetzin]

She does have kind of a "Get that camera outta my damn face" look going on, doesn't she? I get the feeling that was the "Okay, everyone, intense face!" picture, because Joe and Torri look a whole lot calmer in the one that's just them.

And all manner of ficlets where Rodney looks bad and/or does not appear are welcome. Like maybe he insults the wrong alien priestess and winds up in the stocks. ::nudge nudge::

ooohh... *ponders*

Awesome reasons, all!

Also, I think Todd deserves to be a reason all on his own. A wraith that makes jokes? AWESOME.

Reason #12: Atlantis is pretty.

Reason #13: Sheppard gets forced to his knees by women a lot. Mmmmmm.

Reason #14: Guns.

[sabinetzin]

Atlantis is pretty was originally reason #10- but then I couldn't find any really good pictures that didn't have GINORMOUS watermarks. And I had the Wraith Queens and the John Sheppard Kneel (TM) on there... and then I think I wandered away and forgot what I was doing, and they were lost in the shuffle.

But yes! Fabulous reasons all! (And nothing, I repeat, nothing, is better than Wraith humor.)

HEY I LOVE RODNEY!

But I also love Chuck and Lorne and Parrish.

I must admit that I did find her Rodney-centric post funny but this was AWESOME! Thank you for the laugh. I needed it.

PICSPAM. Always welcome in my book. ♥

I DID NOT KNOW THAT ABOUT CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL. That's really awesome. ;) Is there fic about how he (the character) went from being One Of Teyla's People to being Best Wraith? There should be!

That Ronon action figure is. Wow.

[sabinetzin]

It's pretty much my favorite fact ever. I kinda think that's why Michael never turned Halling into a hybrid (and it's definitely why Halling's in that episode), cause everybody would have gone "OMG WTF IS THAT TODD??"
