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.

A hundred bucks says we see her in a cropped shirt in the first episode. Hell, she's wearing one in the other photo! And you know, all wardrobe questions aside, I'm sure *both* Teyla and Ronon will continue to be almost totally useless as native guides. Don't get me wrong, I adore Teyla (and her little belly shirts!), but she kind of falls down on that job a lot of the time.
Typical Scene:
[crazy, dangerous shit happens]
Sheppard, or other Earth person: OMGWTF polar bear! Teyla, have you ever heard of anything like this before?
Teyla: Yes, many times, but I did not believe the stories were true.
Hth, and probably Sheppard in his head: Lady, why don't you let US be the judge of that from now on?!? TELL US EVERYTHING, JUST IN CASE!
But then she gives the polar bear a righteous beatdown, and we forgive her completely. And want to lick the small of her back.
