There are new promo pictures for season 3 at New Atlantis. The first one is eminently forgettable, but the second one has caused a great gladness in my heart and loins. Er. Well, it has, dammit!
Things I have to say about this picture:
1) Ronon's crazy Road Warrior Gloves of Doom: baffling or completely fucking hot? Let's go with both.
2) Elizabeth continues to look monumentally cooler in promotional pictures than she ever actually is on the show. Where are they keeping this character, and who's using her office? We need a Free Elizabeth Weir! campaign.
3) Rodney's kinda turning me on, here. I think because he looks like a freaking grown-up, which is the Rodney I prefer to the Spastic Dweeb Man-Child Rodney who occasionally shows up to poke me with sticks -- psychically, I mean. Well, that's how it feels! This guy can stay.
4) Sheppard should always, always, always wear jeans. I know, uniform, military, whatever. Like his hair *is* regulation? There should be special Congressional dispensation. Oh, come on, they're not fucking doing anything useful; they've got the time.
5) Teyla looks like she has Layers. I approve. I also think it's cool when they don't make the hot chick in the belly shirt stand right up front so we can't possibly miss her -- although I fear that has less to do with their profound feminist commitment to avoiding the objectification of Teyla's character, and more to do with the fact that, as far as I can tell, only chicks watch Atlantis. Nonetheless, I approve. Unless they're going to let her go back to wearing that strippy skirt from 1st season. In which case I want her back up front, for all the pictures. My feminism does not trump that.

Thank you. I'll start making banners.
Rodney's kinda turning me on, here.
He always does, but I'm biased. Anyway yes. Hot pic. So hot.
Sheppard should always, always, always wear jeans.
Hey, as long as any pants he wears, he wears them low like he does the uniform ones, it's all good. Also, I notice your lack of focus on the leather uniform jacket. Yes. LEATHER.

I love that they didn't go for the whole "hey, look, we've got sexy chicks on the show" promotional pics, and yes, it probably is because the viewers are 80% girls and 20% gay guys more than likely, but anyways, Rachel is hot, and she could look better. I didn't totally love this pic of hers.

I kept staring at the picture, thinking, "It doesn't look like leather to me. It looks like kind of a casual, cute blue velour sort of job. Leather, really? Maybe it's suede. It could be suede. But I think it's velour! And it's definitely blue...isn't it? Would they put Sheppard in blue leather? Isn't that a little NASCAR?" And then I realized you were talking about the *other* picture.
I dunno, I'm not about the leather on John for some reason. It kind of makes him look like he's trying too hard. I like the scrunchy, it's-Saturday-and-this-is-ungodly-comfortable-and-I-might-rake-some-leaves-later sort of look he's got going on with the velour.
