picspam: Amelia Banks

[renisanz]

prompted by gategirlsdaily

We are first introduce do the young gate technician in "Quarantine." She spits technobabble to Col. Sheppard about why the systems aren't working properly (notice how Chuck's face is all like, "Whuh? Where'd you come from?" Still, she gets to tag along while they blow up doors and rescue Col. Carter and Zelenka from the transporter.

My first impression of Amelia (she actually didn't have a name at this point in the show) was basically, "Wow, she's really pretty (for a gate tech)." She had a unique look about her and I was excited when I found out we'd seen her again. Who would have thought she'd end up kicking Wraith hybrid butt by the end of Season 5?



Back to the technician things...girl has skillz with the computer. She can gather her wits after waking up from being hit by a stun wave and open doors for our favorite Satedan. Look at her in the top right pic, all proper with her fingers on the home keys.



Amelia Banks and Ronon Dex. An unexpected pairing, I like the potential of it.

She's smart, capable, and cool under pressure. And she doesn't mind letting her hair down every once in a while. I suppose it's implied that she and Ronon got to know each other a bt better after the events of "The Prodigal," enough so that she made a point to come see him in the infirmary after his dying-coming-back-to-life experience on the Wraith ship. She probably also wanted to show him how great she looked in the newer style of uniform. :P



So, she springs Ronon from the infirmary so he can have a look at the view of the Golden Gate Bridge. How sweet. :)

Nice picspam!

Thanks you. :)

I wrote your drabble prompt, btw. It's HERE (http://renisanz.livejournal.com/58711.html?thread=377687#t377687).

Love Amelia.
The home keys I love it.

[renisanz.livejournal.com]

Ha. Yeah. I learned to type in school so that always stuck with me. :)

This was awesome! I love how unexpected Amelia was; she was just one of the "background" characters, then all of a sudden was kicking butt. And she is SO pretty, especially with her hair down.

She reminds me a bit of Jennifer Garner... I wonder if I'm the only one?

Thanks for this! :D

I see the resemblance now that you mention it.

Yay! I like it when I'm not crazy. :) She reminds me of Jennifer in Alias specifically, for some reason.

Anyway, I hope we see the actress that played Amelia again, in something else!

Yeah, me too. There's this news from a recent entry of Joseph Mallozzi's blog: "Also heard from actress Sharon Taylor. I let her know that Amelia would be making an appearance in the movie as well. Another Atlantis alum I look forward to working with again."

I love it! Awesome job! I think Amelia and Ronon working together in Prodigal is a great episode and I can't wait for the season 5 dvd set so I can play it over and over again.

Thanks! I think I'll do another picspam with the minor female characters. I just found some more Amelia caps that I couldn't before when I did this piscpam.
