SGA 3x17: Sunday
I am officially all migrated over, though I expect my reading list to shuffle a bit as I go "oh crap, forgot so and so" and such. So, SGA (and bless the internets for not making me wait forever and ever for new episodes).
Awww, shoot. Carson has long been off my radar in terms of characters I pay attention to but I didn't want him to die. That's just sad. And oh my poor little pumpkin Rodney. This whole season we've been getting these glimpses into how he's changed (and not changed) in terms of relating to other people and I love that he's connecting more in his own Rodney way, but damn...having friends hurts. Especially when they up and die on you. *sadface*
John was married?!?!? Oh man, is it possible to write sympathy cards to fictional characters we've never even met onscreen...because I kind of want to send his ex-wife one. And I really don't want to read any fic, ever, where it's all her fault for being a wicked harpy who broke his tender little heart, because..dude, have you met John? If she managed to keep herself from throwing frying pans at his emotionally unavailable head on the way out the door I would consider her a model of restraint.
Which leads me to....John and Teyla. Huh. My primary obstacle in jumping on that train has always been that, despite the very pretty picture it presents, I've always thought Teyla was too...well, sane to bother with the obvious minefield of bullshit that is John (and I feel the need to disclaim both this and the above paragraph with saying that John's issues are part of the reason I adore him so much). In my head, if her conversation early in the episode was about John (and I get the feeling we're supposed to think it is), its all about avoidance of the topic...not because she's shy about approaching him romantically, but because she's well aware that John is likely more trouble than he's worth in that arena..."the custom of my people" meaning "yeah, he's hot and we're BFF and all, but can you imagine actually dating him? No. I'll just stick with the fun of playing with the possibility from a distance, thanks." On the other hand, she's quite capable of beating the ever loving shit out of him with her sticks, and posseses the mighty eyeroll of "Were you born that stupid?" which I think could qualify her to manage him effectively. I'm just not sure I understand why she'd want to. But I'm more than willing to play along and see where that goes in-show since the odds of getting a Rodney/John pairing beyond what we've got (and BLESS YOU for what we do have SGA writers) is nil.
Radek the chessmaster made me so very happy, there was literal bouncing of GLEE involved.
Ronon is a big cuddly puppy dog, granted one that could rip you limb from limb without breaking a sweat...but AWWWW. I just want to scoop him up. HIs golf swing was just priceless, and his "game" of capture the flag with John had me rolling. And then you get his sweet sadness over his lost love, and his understated support of Rodney after Carson and I just. Ronon wins favorite of the week for me this episode. Love him, love him, love him.
I feel sad for Elizabeth, thinking she has to cut herself off from relationships because of her position. And really I think it's more to do with how the Simon thing turned out than anything else, but that relates directly back to how her job affects the decisions she makes in relationships, so she's not entirely wrong. Elizabeth is not good at balance and I think she knows it. Her new wanna be boy toy is sweet though, I think I'm kind of pulling for them.
Do I have other thoughts? Probably. Damn, it's been awhile since I've done this. I think I do have some John/Rodney blatherings based on what little interaction there was this week but that's more part of the long running J/R constant that I experience the show through than relating directly to My Thoughts on what happened in this episode in particular so I'll save them.
I think that is all for this one.
