trinityofoneWell, that was definitely a Willow-song episode. Fill-er! There were some okay character moments though. In brief:
*Rodney's "should've used a Mac." !!!! I almost died. You could tell Hewlett got a huge kick out of it. Also, this Mac user approves!
*Ronon! Man, I loved Ronon in this. The way he wrenched his arm back into his socket was so hard core, and you could tell that John thought it was way hard core. "I don't like waiting." Ronon, you have won my heart with your impatience. I also loved their vow to go down fighting by fighting each other to the death. Awww! Boys. *smishes*
*John's shirt. Hot.
*John's little emo collapse when the doors shut. Dorky!
*John in welding goggles and gloves. Really dorky. (And also strangely hot.)
ETA: *John's "I don't want to die." I mention this only because I've seen a lot of "John's suicidal!" in things like fic summaries lately. Um, no. Being willing to die and wanting to die are two separate things. Please let's not rehash the post-'The Gift' BtVS fandom debate.
*Rodney's "we don't leave men behind!" and Lorne's reaction to it. Can we have some Rodney/Lorne bonding fic please? (Er, not like that. Or like that, whatever!)
*Um. The suicidal guy was kinda hot?
Mostly though: blah. Yawn. And why do they always have to have jokes like the "except Rodney" line? I mean, obviously John's kidding—canon has shown this. And possibly, it is a case of John PROTESTING TOO MUCH TO THE POINT OF HILARITY, MR. MY PLANET OF KINKY BONDAGE FETISH PEOPLE HAD HEARTS ON THEIR LEATHER TUNICS. But, man, as someone who has always worried that her friends don't really like her that much, and that they talk smack about her behind her back—as the team has been shown to do to Rodney; hello, parts of 'McKay & Mrs. Miller' that make me wince and want to hide behind the couch—why? Seriously, why? Why do a bunch of writers who were almost certainly outcast dorks themselves want to take the side of the cool kids ragging on the geek? I mean, I'm fully willing to admit that my own issues are coloring my interpretation of this, but jeeze. I was ready to leave this episode having been, y'know, just sort of bored (and note: giving Teyla more lines does not equal giving her something to do, if said lines could just have easily been spoken by Bob Redshirt); instead I left it with a sour taste in my mouth.
I'm probably making too much out of nothing, and should go back to pretending that when Rodney said, "Any last thing you want to say?" he was really asking, "Do you love me, Sheppard?" And when John answered, "You owe me a week's pay, Rodney," that was secret code for "Yes, and you owe me a blow job." THE END.
Also...anyone want to buy my Peg2 ticket? Please? trinityofone AT livejournal DOT com. Reasonable rates! Will throw in a story or something! I have to go to the dentist tomorrow and I need money!
Okay, that was just pathetic. Please ignore.
ETA2: Well, apparently they're non-transferable. I hate my life.

Date: 2007-01-09 11:36 pm (UTC)I hope there will still be tickets on the 20th--I just hope they've not gone up enormously in price. I can only fly with either BMI or Ryanair, because Ryanair don't fly into Heathrow. Curses.
I will be in London from the 2nd through to either the 9th or the 12th, depending.
