And even in Atlantis of the legend
The night the seas rushed in:
The drowning men still bellowed for their slaves...


I was reading Vanity Fair and they started off an article about classism with the lines from this poem by Bertolt Brecht and I said to myself, "Self, if we read SGA, we'd really really want to read a story about this. It's a good thing we are exercising restraint and don't have visions of Rodney in a toga, standing on some desk in a lab, water seeping in rapidly, and him screaming at the top of his lungs for John to come and save him. Huh. Yeah, despite whatever cackling you're hearing from [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma over a show I don't watch, I now have visions of John in a canoe sailing through the halls of Atlantis to come and save his master, because you know, John's just playing master/slave to save his country/planet/dog from being neutered.

Wow. I am really jacked up in the brain. Discuss. And then link me to the place where I can read this story already written by someone else.


ETA: BSG is back in two weeks. I just have to be strong a little while longer. Lee will not forsake me. I am dreaming of a sweaty, dirty Helo. Kara! [insert whimpering here] HELP!

You are starting to scare me. That is how it starts! Pretty soon, you will cave and start watching and then? No more George. No more Blaise. JUST SGA ALL DAY EVERY DAY! I can't lose you, too. *sob*

OMG, I love your brain! I'll even forgive the Tom Cruise remark for that mental picture.

*cackles*

Gaze upon Kara and sigh at her gorgeousness *g*

Although Sheppard is pretty damn gorgeous in his own right.

I tried, I really, really tried not to cackle, but I failed miserably. So sad.

Also, hi, I really want that story too. Like, really a lot.

Why has no one done the AU of Atlantis where it's, you know, Atlantis?
