Because I only need an excuse to geek out

foolish_m0rtalForewarning: for some reason, there are a lot of parentheses comments in this post. Bear with it, please.
Hard to believe Google images didn't have any pictures of them yelling at each other while something was blowing up/attacking them in the background. (And before you suggest screencaps, they were were spectacularly blurry)
(see icon for another example of people trouble always follows around. I think people actually call them the "Disaster Twins." The screencap is from Risa. Yeah. THAT Risa...Startrek Enterprise would have been a little better if it had not been set in the same chronological period as Startrek: TOS. But that is a geek out for another day.)
Season finale predictions based on above poster:
Perhaps the unfortunate luck that always follows the Sheppard McKay duo around will be alleviated after McKay gets together with Keller (still find that REALLY creepy. He's like, what? Twice her age? WHY do you do this, Stargate screenwriters?) and Sheppard will pull a Daniel Jackson from the Stargate movie (takes you back, huh?) and decide to stay on a planet in the Pegasus galaxy with some alien chick. (I suspect they're lining Larrin up for the job)
The finale is supposed to end on a cliffhanger, so they might be shutting the Atlantis expedition down. This would have Sheppard stay in the Pegasus galaxy and everyone else return to their respective homes. (The Return reprise? I loved that episode. You would totally expect the Atlantis crew to go rogue)
Then in the movie, which ties up the cliffhanger, something goes wrong and they need to call on the crew again to save der day. Sheppard calls on his alien contacts which he's garnered up from living in Pegasus (because "saving the galaxy," "ATA gene," "inner geekdom," and "the Kirk effect" will most likely overcome "crap, I woke up the Wraith")
Coming back from earth, McKay will be horrendously nicer and domestic now that he's with Keller. This will potentially change once he's under threat-of-death pressure once more, surrounded by the Atlantis crew, met up with Sheppard, ("Your stupid hair hasn't changed at all") and finished making fun of him/exchanged sufficient Doctor Who references. I don't think this would be one of those times where you go to the movie and find the pairings at the end of the series have been broken up. The SGA writers are pretty nice to the scientists, and I don't think they would pull the old "snatch the girl from his grasp" game with McKay again after Katie Brown. Though McKay is showing the same alarming tendency of trying to be a "kinder gentler Rodney McKay" around Keller. I mean, the team hangs out with McKay because when McKay's a jerk, it gives Sheppard an excuse to be a jerk right back. McKay needs to do this to Keller too; it's more honest. If he spent the rest of his life being a nice guy around her, his head would explode. Come on, what's the point of changing him for the better? That's not him.
In the Comicon panel, the writers said Atlantis stories will continue even though the show will be canceled, so I guess the end of the movie will have SGC deciding they still need the Atlantis expedition along with the people from Stargate:Universe. (On IMDB, I saw Flannigan's name in the SGU cast, so I'm guessing the gate-seeding ship still maintains connections with the Atlantis base, or something)
