Snowflake Challenge 2019 - Day 3

snowflake_challenge Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

This was a hard choice for me between the Stargate Atlantis episodes 'The Rising' and 'The Storm' & 'The Eye' but I'm going to go with 'The Rising'. Pilot episodes are usually one of my favorites of any series because you get thrown right into what and who the story is about and there are usually a lot of first meetings between the main characters which I always covet.

In 'The Rising' we get started with laconic helicopter pilot John Sheppard who likes it in Antarctica and, bonus, it's an automatic crossover with Stargate SG-1. Then right into the first meeting of John and his soon to be BFF Rodney and lots of our main cast. Then there is SPACE and lost cities and peril! John establishes himself as a geek with a Star Wars joke and we get to meet Teyla and awaken an ancient evil, which btw is space vampires. Anyway, it sets up lots of adventures and shenanigans and found family, all things I adore.
