Well I love it! (and really am trying to work on my part!! It really doesn't suck I promise!
Especially how Carter is so suspicious and everyone in Atlantis knows him and likes the fact that he is who he is, forgetting the price on his head and the fact that he is a terrorist.
Which was a very nice cover as to why he needed to disappear and might know more about combat and weapons then a typical scientist. Or it might be true, since he disappeared in the desert was trying to get a new identity from a wandering tribe he might have stumbled on to terrorists and needs to disappear again.
With Daniel vouching for him he can this way hide a shady past and even gets a free ID with credential he could use to be able to find the best place to relax and be happy somewhere with great minds to content with, people to annoy, and no immortals.
Since the cat is out of the bag that Methos exists for real and was Adam Pierson back on Earth, the Wraith threat is really comparatively minimal to the one at home... where there is a great price indeed for him (I wonder what he did with his journals while he was away, maybe be will retrieve them in 100 years or so).
And Carter is right, if he was fooling them for real then he would not have showcased his abilities to everyone, the man really knows how to play close to the vest and how great is that he is acting in strange languages with everyone watching!
I loved the idea of the story hour and how that was a tradition, every group of people has their little quirks and being such an specific group with so little contact to the outside and the bonding that near death experiences create of course Atlantis would be full of their own little ways, especially since every person comes from a different background and has some of their own quirks and ways to contribute to it.
And Methos like always manages to fit in and flourishes, especially since he doesn't need to hide most of his skills and he can help make into a community because in a place where there is little entertainment that the people of Earth are used to (tv, internet, movies) he has a lot of ways to get his fun without them having only lived a fraction of his life with them so he likely knows a lot of group activities and games that can be used to pass the time and aid people to bond despite their differences.
And I loved how when he had spoken to Ronan he used the word Runner to describe himself and explain the concept, by doing that he is learning some new cultures than what he already knows on earth, new things for someone so jaded would be a blessing, and hey it is always a good idea to make friends with the really strong combat specialists around... And I loved how the Atlantis crew defended him, especially how Sheppard described what he knows, and the steel in their voices. I wonder how they all behaved when he first got there (or how he came to use Daniel's identity... he'd have to contact the guy in the first place).
and great point about the lullabies, when i listen to some of them now I wonder why there are so few kids scarred by the images they present!!
And very nice ending it is conclusive and still leaves room for more in case the muse strikes you once again.
no subject
