SGA Rewatch: Submersion with a quick tag
Nov. 12th, 2014 09:41 am Okay, I will admit that I remembered nothing of Submersion before I watched the episode again. I was wary because any of these "horror" episodes I have a hard time seeing what is happening on the screen and I usually get bored. They usually are fun stories if in book form, but they just don't do it for me on the screen.
So imagine my surprise when I LOVED so much of this episode. Sure, I really didn't care for the Wraith plot, but there were so many precious moments here:
1. Grayden! I love this guy. I wish they hadn't killed him because he was comedy gold. Tactless Rodney told him he hired the wrong guy and then the other scientist following up with "He's a really good scientist. I'm surprised Mckay didn't hire him." I just about died laughing. So now I need to know if we ever see Grayson in the series or if anyone has ever included him in fanfic. I'd actually love to read a fanfic with Grayden coming to Atlantis! Or even better, here's a tag written on the fly:
( Grayson gets offered the job )
2. I think every post-season 3 fanfic I write must have Grayson in it now. Also, I now have a mental image of Miko or Katie Brown or other more timid scientists having to fire their weapons at an invading enemy.
3. I really liked where Teyla managed to come out of her trance just to realize someone is tracking her. She turns around, aims her weapon, and there is Sheppard and Ronon aiming theirs at her and telling her to drop her weapon. I just love scenes like this!
4. I'm quickly forgetting whatever else I liked of this episode. I know I should have written it all down the first time. I remember liking how they're all annoyed at staying on the station for a few more days because there is still research to do. How awesome to win the day but to still have work to do. Poor Ronon, Sheppard, and Teyla.
5. I am currently teaching exponential growth in my classes. Thanks to this tag, I now want (but will not) to ask a question such as:
In 2005 the number of scientists on Atlantis was 200. By the end of the year, only 125 scientists remained. Find the average percent decay rate per week for the population of scientists on Atlantis in 2005.
