Drinking Game: Stargate Atlantis

So, I've just watched the entire series. So much for "I'll only watch an episode or so" a while back.

Although the series is good, the Television Without Pity education rears its snarky head every time I watch a series by now. Which inevitably leads to me discovering certain, amusing, patterns. Thus, the drinking game. No, I don't drink. It's still funny. So, without further ado:

Spoilers for the series, DUH!

Drink a shot everytime:

  • the Atlantis crew dooms the entire galaxy by their stupidity or to save their few piddling people
  • Rodney shows his massive ego
  • Rodney's ego is causing shit to explode
  • Ford has a line
  • Ford's line could be cut entirely, and nobody would notice
  • the team is waking up in a Wraith holding cell
  • Weir: "I cannot allow that to happen."
  • the Athosians and/or Teyla are accused of something
  • the Athosians and/or Teyla are proven totally innocent later
  • Rodney hacks into a computer/network/replicator/whatever
  • Rodney: "j-just---give me a minute!!"
  • Rodney: "W-wh-wh-whoa-whoa-wait!!"
  • Rodney states something is utterly impossible in a given time frame
  • double if he achieves it anyways
  • there is an explosion in the control room
  • Teyla: "blah blah - my people!"
  • Teyla has nightmares
  • Teyla and Wraith mind-control each other
  • Teyla is left in charge, even though there should be a coordinated command structure
  • the A plot is caused by someone blundering into yet another secret lab of the Ancients
  • the danger in the A plot is entirely Rodney's fault
  • Ronon uses his gun
  • double if it's in the nick of time, just as a team member's about to get killed
  • Ronon is captured or kidnapped, and miraculously gets his gun back afterwards
  • Sheppard is totally ignoring his orders
  • double if Weir secretly couldn't care less
  • Teyla is blatantly running around with her offspring, just to show that the brat's hasn't been eaten by dingos yet
  • the team temporarily allies with the Wraith
  • the team is totally surprised when the evil zombie vampire aliens who eat humans decide to screw them over
  • double shot if Todd's doing the allying and screwing over
  • the Pegasus Nazis - pardon, Genii - make an appearance
  • double if Kolya's involved
  • triple if Sheppard swears he's going to kill him next time for sure
  • Mr Woolsey is inept
  • Mr Woolsey is socially inept
  • Rodney is socially inept, but gets what he wants anyway
  • the gal of the episode is totally into Sheppard
  • double if he's oblivious until it's pointed out
  • a Stargate SG-1 member appears
  • double if the SG-1 member is at odds with his Atlantis counterpart
  • triple if they value each other by the end of the episode
  • if SG-1 already encountered the same (plot) device previously
  • nobody in the goddamn stargate universe remembers that Earth has zillions of livestock animals that could be used to feed the goddamn Wraith

Enjoy. All over-intoxications, hangovers and/or waking up next to strangers will be your own damn fault, however.
