In which I fail to have one.

trinityofoneThis episode really frustrated me. Mostly I think it's the fact that TWO WEEKS IN A ROW Rodney has worked really hard to save John and BOTH TIMES it was for nothing. That kills me--that he would work soso hard, and what does he get? No thanks and no real acknowledgement (aww, but he acknowledged Zelenka's idea *squishes him*). Elizabeth won't even sit next to him! (What was up with that? I mean ha ha, but you've got to know that Rodney takes shit like that to heart--he'd never acknowledge it, but he does.) Not to mention that his boyfriend cheated on him with the world's most boring woman. Seriously, I really hated that chick. She was unbelievably bland; she made Katie Brown look dynamic. I never thought I'd say this, but can we bring back Chaya? Chaya could totally kick her stupid psychic ass.
Furthermore, I just have a big problem with the idea of Ascension in general. It's stupid--what the point of that kind of existence? John started to make these points, but the effect of what he was saying was kind of weakened by the fact that the Village of the Dull did get to go off and be all glowy. I would have much preferred if John had fulfilled his capacity as The One by introducing them all to drunken revelry, deviant sex, and general debauchery. That's the true path to Ascension!
However, I did like John Sheppard, World's Worst Meditator (is that a word?). Though I'm still confused as to why he had to spend the whole episode dressed like the lovechild of Luke Skywalker and Legolas. Or why he couldn't have just shaved the damn beard if he hated it so much--clearly Brother Who Looks Like Brendan Fraser's Ugly Cousin had access to proper shaving accoutrements so he could maintain that fugly goatee of his. Perhaps the beard was meant to be a physical manifestation of Sheppard's manly pain?
Anyway, I'm now even more convinced that the Ancients are EVIL, or at least not all shiny holy whatever. The source of the virus in "Hot Zone," Chaya's weird behavior, and just the fact that the Ancients created all those "inferior copies" of themselves and then left them with dubious technology and a few happy "Sure, worship us as gods!" scrawls? Yeeeaaaaah. Up to no good, I say. I can't wait for Rodney to prove it. Prove it, Rodney! Also, call John on the whole "I was there six months and I waited till, like, month five to sleep with boring chick. But I'm totally heterosexual! Look, I have a beard!" thing. (Yes, that is a thing. Okay, maybe several things. Whatever.)
Okay, complaining done. (For now--*ominous laughter*) Now bring on the fic where:
1. John and Rodney go through together, as a flimsy but still appreciated excuse for Sex in a Cave;
2. Rodney goes through and yells at everyone in the Village of Stupid until they run screaming into the woods and get eaten by the bad special effect;
or 3. The Ancient time-displacement area is actually the island on Lost. Come on, it's the SAME FRICKIN' MONSTER, people! All you need is a polar bear and the crossover is complete!

I come from Buffydom, I was a Spike fan--that's a painful road I have already walked. And yet here I am, pining for "38 Minutes" and Elizabeth's "Good work, Rodney."

I think maybe its just us fangirls who realize what an emotionally screwed up person Rodney is. I mean, there's a REASON he's always bragging, and eating, and bragging while eating.
