wow. look at that: his body is moving forward but his head sure isn't. great acting joe!

[em_kellesvig]

I still wonder if his reluctance was due to first-time jitters or doubt about the mission. It does make me veer toward this being his first time through the wormhole.

[esteefee]

In my headcanon, Atlantis was talking to him already and he was freaked.

[em_kellesvig]

Oh, hadn't considered that. It's a solid idea. I like it. :D

[squidgiepdx]

He looks like he's thinking, "So if you fart in a wormhole, does the smell travel with you?"

::snerk::

[em_kellesvig]

You know he and Rodney ate beans that one time just to find out, all in the name of science!!

[squidgiepdx]

In a missing scene from Harmony, when the Queen ruled that, "He who smelt it, dealt it".

[em_kellesvig]

bwhahahahaha!!!

[adafrog]

Like the look there.

[em_kellesvig]

He's trying hard not to go through that puddle! :D

[popkin16]

LOL He looks so reluctant. I always assumed it was because he'd never been through a wormhole to me. The way he closes his eyes before stepping through definitely says inexperience to me.

Plus, it would have been smart if the SGC had sent him through the gate before the big mission. But as we all know from their long-term planning re: food and the like, they aren't so good at being long-term, smart thinkers.

This! I love stories that rewrite Rising so they're better prepared, including John.

[popkin16]

ME TOO. If they're taking that many intelligent people with them, it only makes sense they'd be better prepared.

My secret love is Keira Marcos and some of her take no shit AUs. I wish she had a more frequent presence on DW but you have to take what you can get.

[popkin16]

Yesss I admire her SO MUCH. I enjoy her AUs and how intelligent and badass John and Rodney are ♥

I've downloaded a ton of her podcast episodes (if they're SGA related) but I haven't gotten around to listening to them.

[em_kellesvig]

I can't listen to podcasts as I'm damned near deaf but I have most of KM's longer stories and series on mobi and epub for reading offline. I'm rereading Lantean Legacy right now; so much goodness in that one! :D

[popkin16]

I reread Keira's Ties that Bind not that long ago. And I also reread Iterum and Revenant, so I could add them to my pinboard and tag them. She is so, so good at coming up with interesting plots and really following through on how it'd change things.

Deep Elf contemplation of should I or shouldn't I...LOL

[em_kellesvig]

He really doesn't wanna, Time! Stupid coin always flipped heads up.

[timespirt]

LOL...
