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 08:52 pm (UTC)I hope they don't forget about Kanaan. Kill him (oops, the operation was a success but the patient died) or he must go into suspended animation or goes with the AThosians that are left... but I just do NOT want him forgotten. I mean geez, it's not like he's a set of car keys!
Rodney with his "I love kids as long as they don't talk" (greatly paraphrased) was so priceless! I'm really surprsied he did not pass out but, er, um, can understand his whole attitude toward the situation.
The Shep-Ronon macho he-man grunts of 'pleasure' 'same' was great. Guys really don't talk all that much and it's their shorthand (unlike McKay, who can suck the oxygen out of a room in 60 seconds flat ;) ...
As for shippiness...the first scene was like 'oh, this is interesting,' but what I found funny was that what teyla said in his dream was nearly identical to what she said in reality. Hmmm..

Date: 2008-06-23 03:42 pm (UTC)I don't think Kanaan will be completely forgotten? I hope not! It'd be awful weird...I don't have spoilers for the next ep and don't want any, but I'm hoping that will be addressed. And yeah, am thinking dead/suspended animation/returns to Michael, but...it'd be so cool if he were stay-at-home dadding!
Heee - Rodney pretty much sounded like exactly what I'd sound like at a birth! Not a big fan of pregnancy or children, though damn that was a cute baby...
And yesss,
