Oh, Mallozzi, I can forgive you many past missteps, for this ep of supreme cuteness and general wonderfulitude.

Most importantly - we are batting 3 for 3 for TEAM this season. GLEE.

OMG - Teyla has a house-husband as she bravely goes off to save the galaxy! I--I--I wanted this so badly and never thought it would really happen and now she got it and OH! I don't believe you did this, show, you have made me SO HAPPY!

And she hands the baby off to Woolsey! How adorable is that?

Also, poor Woolsey and the conference room doors. Atlantis doesn't like him! Awww. We like you, Woolsey, with your comfort suits and your classical music and your fantastic actor (Robert Picardo is <3!)

Everyone caught by the Wraith! Here we go again. Thumbs' up to Teyla! (Poor Teyla; she's not enjoying Rodney's pessimism or John's deliciously pouty denial because, well, yes, certain death isn't nearly as fun when you've got an adorable baby and loyal almost-spouse waiting for you back home...)

Then, making plans! Smart-talking wobbly-eyed John on his knees before a Wraith for the hundredy-billionth time! Fetching Ronon! Needing two Marines to carry him out!

Ronon torture! But with a shirt. Why, shirt, why? Couldn't you have at least gotten strategically ripped?

(A little disappointed that no one mentioned that Teyla and Ronon and especially Rodney have been through enzyme withdrawal before...but all is forgiven because:)

Rodney talking to Ronon! About piano lessons. This is the first mention of Rodney-the-pianist in SGA canon, yes?

And his overjoyed, "He's back!"

Teyla + Kanaan + baby = adoooorable! Rodney in the bath, with tablet! And John giving Ronon the sword and then leaving without a word. And then Ronon curls up with his sword! Galaxy's pointiest teddy bear.

Oh, in between all this cute, there was a plot or something. With, um, Wraith. And C-4. You've seen the show, you know how it goes.

McSheppiest line: "I'm not taking a bath with you." Um, John, how did your mind jump to that conclusion? It's because the moment Rodney mentioned "bathing" you couldn't think about anything else, isn't it?
