So yes, these Ancients are jerks, unable even in the face of reality to accept altered circumstances. Which explains why the later Ancients were driven to seek mechanical aids in Ascending. Presumably the best and brightest managed to Ascend, leaving poorer genetic material behind. The few advances made, like the Replicators, we’re a disaster. In millions of years we see no significant technological advances. One thing that this episode established for me was that the Ancient of the Wraith wars are a pale shadow of the original ancients. One of my co-workers is passing through Vancouver, and I may text him with a suggestion or two based on your eating posts. Today’s entry is dedicated to blog regular mysticode!įood looks good as always. Cookie Monster will be dropping by to offer his review of Spiderman (2002). So, honestly, what are your thoughts on the Ancients? Impressive intergalactic elder statesmen? Or entitled jerks?Ī reminder that our Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes on Monday. They’re two naturally funny guys so it’s not at all surprising that their scenes worked so well – or that they had a blast shooting them. It’s real treat to watch these two veteran thespians play off each other.
For about a year until the midway station gets blown up, after which it’s really not that worthwhile in retrospect.Īh, once again we are treated to the comedy stylings of Anderson and Picardo. Still, the convenience of speedy intergalactic travel between Atlantis and Earth is certainly worth the effort. Of course, coming up with the idea is one thing, finding all those stargates and putting them in position is another thing entirely. It seemed like such an obvious idea, I was surprised no one had thought of it before. This is the first episode we really see the gate bridge in action. Don’t let the puddle demolecularize your ass on the way out.” It’s not wonder they got their asses kicked by the wraith. In fact, they’re utter douchebags, thanking us for taking care of the place before patting us on the head and sending us on our way. But here we have a bunch of real, live, grounded, unascended Ancients – and they’re still not very likable. I’ve never been a fan of the Ancient storylines, mainly because I find them a tad esoteric. And kicking us back to Earth! Boo! It’s no secret. The Ancients are back! Hurray! And they’re taking back Atlantis! Uh…okay. It’s too bad they don’t have a shop.Ĭontinuing our reminiscences of Stargate: Atlantis’s third season… Akemi, a chocolate expert in her own right, agreed. Despite the fact that they were fruit-based, I thought they were excellent. Simon works at Cin Cin, one of Vancouver’s premiere Italian restaurants, and the kitchen there has been producing some phenomenal macarons and chocolates – both of which we were fortunate enough to sample. We ended up doing double desserts on the night (actually, triple dessert because we also ordered some ice cream). Probably the most popular dish of the night. Chinese Donut (Youtiao) with condensed milk caramel, ginger, and palm sugar soy milk. The truffle was subtle, the dumpling delicious.
The power of the ancients stargate skin#
Some of the highlights included – Bean curd skin with king oyster mushrooms and truffle vinaigrette. It’s a tapas-style menu offering a plates of varying sizes, from the tiny couple-of-bites appetizers to the bigger entries – perfect for sharing. Akemi prepares to exercise her shoveling hand. Sean does his best Louis Ferreira imitation. Simon psyches himself up for the big feast. We ended up meeting him (and his friend Sean) at Bao Bei in Chinatown for inspired modern Chinese cuisine.
The other day, our friend and fellow foodie (oh, and culinary apprentice) Simon invited Akemi and I out for dinner.
