(no subject)

I just watched CSI's "Monster in the Box" and am overly amused that I SO called that one thing in a fic! *glee, pats Hodges on the head* And dude, is it just me or has Hodges's man-crush on Grissom increased tenfold this season? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. *grin*

But yes, that? Was an awesome episode. I'm almost tempted to watch it again, and I haven't felt that way about a CSI episode in a while, so. *happy sigh* GOOD episode.

Songs for lilyayl and anyone who wants 'em

This week's topic was John Sheppard, so here we go! Help yourselves. All are mp3s. (And Lily, good luck this weekend, though I'm sure you'll do awesome!)

The La's - Son of a Gun

Don't ask me why I see this as a Sheppard song. It's sort of countryish alternative pop, I suppose, and the frustration the "son of a gun" feels reminds me of Sheppard. Or something.
( He was burned by the twentieth century; now he's doing time in the back of his mind )

Muse - Invincible

One thing that Sheppard has found in the Pegasus Galaxy is people who believe in him, who look past his black mark to see the man who's willing to put his life on the line for his people. Atlantis is his home, and together, with Elizabeth, Rodney, Carson, Teyla, Ronon, Radek, they do seem almost invincible.
( You will be alright 'cause there's no one like you in the universe )

Richard Shindell - Darkness, Darkness

This is an early S1 song for Sheppard, where he's still adjusting to being the head military officer of Atlantis, struggling to come to terms with how exactly he gained that position, and how his actions have impacted life in the Pegasus Galaxy.
( Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning for the things I cannot see, keep my mind from constant turning to the things I cannot be )

Ryan Adams - Hallelujah

This is the darker side of Sheppard. While he has people who care about him, whom he himself cares about, he never seems to quite bridge the gap and be able to voice that emotional attachment. He's a man who shows he cares by actions, not words.
( If I could have a simple love, how would it feel and what would it mean? I'd only trade you away for Mary Magdalene )

Zed - Renegade Fighter

Okay, this is pretty light-hearted look at Sheppard. And, well, it sort of works. *grins*
( I'm a lover, I'm a winner, I'm a fighter, gonna set your soul on fire; I'm a lover, I'm a Renegade Fighter, gonna set your soul on fire )
