Meep. *flail*

I don't think there's really anything even remotely coherent I can say about this—I spent the entire episode curled up in a little ball clutching a throw pillow. I love Rodney. I love everybody. They were all so wonderful in this. The scene on the pier will fill me with John/Rodney joy for about 10,000 years, and yet I loved the confession at the end, too. (Writers: if you don't follow up on this well, I will KEEL you.) See (and I guess I am deviating into "my thoughts on shipping" here, so feel free to skip), in the end—which is sadly coming much sooner than I'd like—I just want everyone to be happy. I want an ending like this episode would suggest, where the team is always there for each other, would always risk their lives for each other, would face down everything together. I want John and Rodney to be best friends (and maybe more) who drink beer together and never give up on each other and make each other laugh. And I want Rodney—who was, it must be said, my gateway drug to the insane cracked-out world that is SGA—to be happy and healthy and wise. To be loved. It would make me ecstatic to see that on screen, and think Jennifer would be wonderful for him. As I think Teyla would be wonderful for him. As I think Ronon would be. As I always have and always will think John would be.

And that's why I love fanfic. Because we can have all of it. A million billion different universes in which anything and everything is possible. We can have it all.

I guess I should go to bed before I start singing Kumbaya, huh?

But first, let me just say again:

I love my boys. I love my Hewletts. I love my team.

I love my show.

Those Hewletts are amazing. I totally bought Jeannie's misery; Kate looked devastated when she called Rodney "sweetie" and promised to be right back, then ran out of the room.

And of course Rodney running through Atlantis, barefoot and lost but still able to find his way to John, knowing that John would never leave him behind, followed by that wonderful scene on the pier . . .

Wow.

Jeannie having to leave the room brought about an extra tight pillow squeeze that I'm sure it did not appreciate.

I can't even really address that scene on the pier yet. I just...adifghkajhsdgf

I'm too wired to sleep and I feel like I won't be coherent for several days. Now that's good TV!
