So I'm kind of research watching for a thing


And John Sheppard just called a planet's entire historical way of life "that crap".

I LOVE THIS SHOW. IT IS SO FUCKED UP

Who wants to help me research-watch? I would like to make a list of the Top Ten Atlantis is Colonialist episodes for seasons 1 - 3. The Tower is pretty far up there, but I especially want anything where they're all "we have the gene, neener neener" while dealing with a well-established civilization.

OOohh. I might maybe want to do this? (I don't think I could watch The Tower again without drinking heavily. But that still leaves a number of eps.)

I am pretty sure Harmony would also rate? But that's season 4, and is thus disqualified. (It also contains John pretending to be Han Solo, and I have stated my position on such things before.)

I love my fucked up show!

I guess Childhood's End would sort of qualify?

And I'm pretty sure much of the stuff with the Genii, like in the Storm (or was it the Eye) where Weir's all 'we can save the galaxy' and Kolya's all 'bitch please, you are not even from here'. So that would be Underground as well as the storm and the eye.

I do love the bit in (Hide and Seek?) where they're all, these are light switches and Teyla's all 'my people mastered fire long ago' and lights a candle from halfway across the room.

Just generally the expedition has a really patronizing attitude towards the natives. This is where I miss Daniel especially, because he'd at least try.

I don't know how much of the Wraith Worshipper stuff would count. I haven't really been paying attention. At the beginning of S2 I stopped facing episodes sober and by the end of S3 I was drinking pretty heavily to get through an episode and so my recall is less than would be desired. S1 all the way!

If this were a vid, it would be awesome to take shots of the game out of context. Seriously. Consider it. You know you want to.

Man, just thinking about these episodes was a fraught experience. I hope this helps even a little.
