Stargate Atlantis S2E16 "The Long Goodbye"

I employed a little bit of creative license here in order to make this work better as a 4-panel "comic" with the knowing glances of the ridiculously attractive people as the punchline. Full original dialog:

RONON: So people just sit and watch this box for hours at a time?
JOHN: Yeah, people do.
TEYLA: Is it that engaging?
JOHN: Depends what's on it. There are lots of programs on dozens of channels, every day, all day.
RODNEY: Most of which are fictional representations of ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations.
JOHN: There are educational programs, all sorts of documentaries. Not many people watch 'em but, uh, well, they're on.
RONON: And that's what everybody on your planet does for entertainment? Watch a box?

Panel 1: Ronon saying "So, people just sit and watch this box for hours at a time?" Panel 2: John saying "Depends what's on it. There are lots of programs on dozens of channels, every day, all day." Panel 3: Rodney saying "Most of which are fictional representations of ridiculously attractive people in absurd situations." Panel 4: Teyla/Ronon looking at each other.

RONON: And that's what everybody on your planet does for entertainment? Watch a box?
RODNEY: Not everyone -- although I will confess to the occasional half hour of Jeopardy.
RONON: Jeopardy?
RODNEY: It's the name of the show -- "Jeopardy".
RONON: Sounds dangerous.
JOHN: Double jeopardy -- that's twice as dangerous.
