Like we would go without watching it, when it was available...!
New SGA!!!!
The TEAM!!!!!11!1!!!
Teyla giving birth with Rodney catching! (Rodney looks especially nice in hive ship lighting...love when Kanaan meets up with them and is staring past Teyla at her three boys and you can just see him thinking, "Oh, seriously, why are they all hotter than me?")
John staggering around barely mobile To Save My Teammate Or Else!
Ronon with the Teyla-carrying!
Rodney & John both with the baby-holding! (Was it just me or were all the actor-daddies channeling their own fatherhood for their baby scenes? Their excitement and joy were so ridiculously cute!)
FORD! Our collective jaws dropped! (I'm living with
gnine aka Spoiler Central, and she hadn't heard that one. If they manage to keep the lid on one appearance, he could return more this season?)
John & Ronon trapped and John does the "leave me" and Ronon does the "like hell" and John does the "No, you must!" and Ronon asks "Would you?" and John says "Yes, I would" and we shrieked with laughter because, really now, oh, John.
I could've done with a little more John-Rodney interaction but there was a lot else going on, and also John's "McKay's alive?" to Keller pretty much made up for it all on its own, with the way his head jerks up and his breath catches and he'd so clearly been desperate to know and hadn't been able to bring himself to ask.
They just blew their computer f/x budget for the whole year. The planetscapes were nice and all but we really enjoyed the hyperspace window being blasted, so flipping cool and pretty!
Saaaaaaam...I'm going to miss her. She was so awesome and commanding and cute with Rodney in this ep. Sigh. But so curious how Atlantis is going to embrace Woolsey. Or really really not...
Questions: So Michael stole the jumper - is he ATA equipped thanks to Beckett's therapy, or does he have a minion with the gene?
Kanaan??? Is where now? Did they stick him in the holding cell? I assume they brought him with them in dart storage; he must have lived somehow, or else Teyla would've named the baby after him (while I kind of wish she'd given acknowledgment to all the team in the name, John is representative, and it cracks me up that John was the only one who wasn't thinking about it, between Ronon's "Good name for a boy or girl" and Rodney's "Yes!")
We want Kanaan to survive to become stay-at-home Dad on Atlantis, though suspect the chances of this are practically nil. Still, that Teyla is keeping her baby is already an astonishment of the first order, so - surprise me, show!
Could've done with less of the implied shippiness at the very beginning (less the scene itself, more that it might be setting a trend for the season, given what Mallozzi has said; otoh if the overwhelming TEAMiness of this ep is also a trend, I'm totally on board), but otherwise my only real problem with the ep was FOUR WEEKS' WAIT until the next one. Ahhhh no~!

Date: 2008-06-22 05:01 pm (UTC)I think their focus will be more on TPTB little 'triangle' they want and again I think we'll only see those buttons pushed in an eppy or two but not an entire season. Funny on the Ronon/Keller side --if Jason M doesn't 'see' the chemistry there and then lol on the writer's forcing it.
Keller and Ronon are cute, even though I think the only connection is the doctor's mentally. We'll see, I'm not at all concerned about it.
This eppy though was a gift and I have loved it!

Date: 2008-06-23 03:08 pm (UTC)I don't like Rodney/Keller myself for a myriad of reasons; there are ways they could make it work, but I don't particularly want to see it. I think Ronon/Keller would be cute, but I'd just as soon have Keller flirt with both of them and then get into a relationship with someone else, or no one at all.
Either way, the ep was great fun! (especially for you Shep-whumpers, I imagine! ^^)
