Stargate: Atlantis "Motivational" Desktop Wallpapers        Awhile back on Livejournal, Isis wanted to see some SGA equivalents of the Star Trek "Motivational" posters that float around on the internet.  You've probably seen them in your inbox occasionally if you're a nerd or if you're one of those weird people who likes and sends on forwards. (Shame on you! Shaaaame!)         So, here they are. A lot of them.  Some of them contain spoilers for certain events in the series. If you are not up-to-date, you might not want to scan through these yet.         Each poster is 1024 x 768 resolution and so will fit a base desktop like that, or, if you have a weird resolution like me, just set your background to black and centre it. Credit, commentary and full text are below each thumbnail. Click to view the full-size image.              Enjoy!
	Expendability. John, Rodney and two unknown scientists fly out to investigate the signal. Guess which two aren't coming back?		libitina picked the words/image combo. Exploration. C'mon - it'll be fun. What's the worst that could happen?
	Fairy Tales. One of you is going to have to kiss Mr. Space-Mono awake. [Space-Mono later appeared here in Miriel's Lorne/Novak story!]		Fanfiction. The Atlantis message board held all sorts of information that John and Rodney were amazed to discover. Like that they were totally doing it. [John was very interested in this idea. In fact, he'd actually written a few himself before 'stumbling' onto them and having to show Rodney. His screenname was totally sneaky, too. Flyboy011101. ]
	Flaming. No matter the dimensional rift, interstellar wormhole, parallel universe or faulty application of string theory, you may not find him delightful, but you will certainly find him gay. What? Like you weren't thinking it, even before the episode came out when we just had these preview shots.		libitina picked the words/image combo. Flossing. Keeps your dentist from profiting from war.
	Forethought. With careful planning, you can avoid embarrassing deaths due to autoerotic asphyxiation.		libitina picked the words/image combo. Friendship. Sometimes the other guy just treats you like you are a creepy space alien bent on destroying all of humanity, but it doesn't hurt to try.
	Games. Rodney thought they were just playing tic-tac-toe. [It turns out that Teyla had decided to avoid messy endings by introducing Major Sheppard and Alina to a game that had frequently solved love-triangles in the past. While it did bear a remarkable resemblance to the tic-tac-toe of Earth, the loser inevitably died a painful death. In hind-sight, that explained why John was so determined to be X.]		Gravity. When I make it, this knife will accelerate into your chest at 9.8m/s^2. The same speed a feather would, but with more 'Ow'. [Teyla was not only the leader of her people, but also their chief scientist. They had yet to tell the Lanteans about their highly-advanced science, simply to save Rodney's ego. His pouting face made Teyla sad inside; like kicking a puppy.]
	Hermiod. You're alien, so if they try to make you wear pants you can claim discrimination and harrassment.		Interspecies. Forget physics, Rodney could save us by sleeping his way through the non-humanoid alien ranks. (First Steve the Wraith, then Hermiod, then that mini-wraith girl... At least he can't get children by them.)
	Jealousy. Maybe you can write it off as Xenophobia. That alien checking out Rodney's ass is butt naked. Because how can John be xenophobic? He's half Ancient. One of his best friends is Teyla.		Journey. It worked! All I had to do was click my heels together three times and enter into the mainframe, 'There's no place like 127.0.0.1!' [Admittedly, General O'Niell had told this to Rodney, emphasizing strictly that it was an absolute secret, just between the two of them. God help them if the SGC discovered that O'Niell knew computers and even lame computer jokes. God help them it the enemy discovered that Rodney was really that gullible.]
	libitina picked the words/image combo. Leadership. Standing alone. Wondering whether your pants are too baggy in the seat.		Literacy sounds great in theory, but sucks balls when you're the one they all want to teach them. (Because previously, John was illiterate and had trouble with colour-by-numbers. Like so many on the Atlantis expedition//living in the Pegasus galaxy.)
	Locals. No matter how cute they are, John isn't allowed to take them home. Some of them bite. [Elizabeth had made exceptions to this rule on occasion, but mostly that was because John would whine, "But Mo~om!" in such a way that she could not refuse.]		Rodney McKay. Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. I was too busy re-writing the laws of physics.
