The key to success is compress not diffuse...

I got this poem from Joe Mallozzi's blog

This same time last year, on a bit of a lark,

I thought I would take some time off from the snark,

And compose a brief poem filled with puzzling clues,

For fans of the show to deduce should they choose.

As such I suppose I’ve raised expectations,

That this year include some like revelations,

Ensconced in an opus of rhythm and rhyme,

Awaiting discovery from those who have time.

While I hadn’t intended to write one this season,

I suppose it should certainly stand within reason,

That in order to get you to give it a rest,

I author another and grant your request.

So here is this year’s abstruse composition,

Designed for you fans who possess the volition,

To examine and study its cryptic contents,

In a bid to unearth hints to future events.

The brilliant one slowly loses his mind,

While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind.

Wallace’s research a menace let loose.

The key to success is compress not diffuse.

A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned.

An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand.

In an underground chamber the trio is stuck,

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck.

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective.

The city assailed by mutations infective.

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action,

As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action.

Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat.

The experiment’s minions the team will combat.

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field,

And the means of production is fully revealed.

Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth.

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth.

The status quo shifts, a power play made.

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed.

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed,

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst.

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race,

While myriad permutations are viewed from space.

So just like last year here are intriguing notions,

Sure to, no doubt, stir up strong fan emotions.

But do keep in mind while you revel or groan,

That it’s still very early. Nothing’s written in stone.

darthcorrie said in my last post that her first thought was that they're going to kill Katie, and I agreed. It seems like something they would do. Then I remembered that Mallozzi had posted something in his blog with some hints in it, so I looked it up, and it looks like she might be right. Fuck. I hope not. I like Katie. I might not want her to marry McKay, but I definitely don't want her to die. Bastards.

Okay, it doesn't necessarily mean Katie, but I don't know who else it would be. Jeannie? Sam? Sheppard? Madison? Zelenka? How many people do they feel the need to kill off? UGH! Can't I just have my happy shiny show without losing characters I like? Pegasus Galaxy is dangerous. WE GET IT.

Aw shoot, that doesn't look good, does it? Though much as I like Katie it would be worse if Jeannie died, so I guess that's something. Wish they'd stop killing people off though.

It really doesn't. And I know what you mean. If they have to kill of someone who McKay cares about, I guess Katie is the one that's the least traumatizing to me. It's still pretty lame though.
