SGA: "Tabula Rasa"

Okay! Atlantis does Memento! I'm taking some points off for being a little too obvious in their "homage" (as the writers like to call their rip-offs), but they win most of them back for some good character scenes--and for avoiding the terrible pessimism of Memento (hope I'm not spoiling the movie for anyone, but from the opening sequence you know that is not going to be a happy movie.)

Brief synopsis of my review before spoilers: I have some quibbles, but on the whole, the episode hit the right notes for me. Nice job by Alan McCullough (see what bringing new writers onboard can do? I know, he's not that new anymore, but he's newer than everyone else!). Great Rodney scenes, good Ronon, a few nice Teyla moments. And a bit of Lorne not being bland, of which I thoroughly approve.

Fanfic meme

I found this cool meme being used by aurora_novarum, so I want to try:

Name any story I've written, and any character in them, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.

Naturally, this also gives me a chance to flog my own fic! Yes, there's a link on the side (I think it's on the side) to my website, but in case you've overlooked it (or wondered what the heck that link is for but been afraid to try), all my stories can be found at Aelfgyfu's Mead Hall.

Go ahead! Ask! (Someone? Please? I often wonder how many people are reading these stories anyway....)
