Did that really just happen?

On this weekend’s episode of Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Elizabeth Weir manages to cunningly distract someone by feigning an interest in their World of Warcraft character.

I just needed to write that down to convince myself that it really happened.

On a related note, both Stargate shows have just left dangling mid-season cliff-hangers that won’t be resolved until next March. That’s six months. In the middle of a season. Fortunately in the long tradition of Stargate mid-season cliff-hangers neither of them was particularly exciting, although for a change Atlantis served up the better of the two.
