except "Whispers"... I seriously need to show you the one bit of video I did manage to put together.
Yes, yes you do! XP
I'm actually having *more* trouble with Keller since it's the last season - if we had another season coming, I'd just shrug a lot of this off and hope for better next time, but there's not going to be a next time, and it makes me very "grrrr" that every minute of Keller now is a minute we could be having Team instead...
It took me five times before I finally figured out, that was what was bugging me. Honest-to-god, I cannot get on board the idea that any woman, much less Keller, could find that flattering. Especially, when you take in the context of the fact that she had no clue that Rodney was even interested in her romantically until the fruitcup thing -- which was what? Six days before hand?
Yeah, I realized this almost right away...I've always felt really weird about big romantic gestures such as guys always do in romantic comedies, too; that's putting a lot of pressure on a relationship. But when the guy is brain-damaged...it's creepy.
At least the episode didn't actually make it clear what Keller was thinking. Because I'd probably rewatch the vid too, trying to figure out how the hell I felt about it. Unfortunately I have a feeling the writers probably thought it was romantic...
I generally see this more as John's episode than hers, although perhaps that's because in a tiny way, she's almost the episode's antagonist
See, and that's just another thing that annoys me - in SG-1, Frasier at times was an antagonist (such as when Daniel went crazy and was committed in, um, "Legacy" I think the ep is). The team argued with her angrily. It gets to me that in "The Shrine," they argue, but no one gets angry at Keller. (except maybe Jeannie - go Jeannie!) Keller's saying, "It's my fault" and John breaks out of his grief long enough to tell her that it isn't. Even though it kinda is. Because, yeah, noticeable personality change in a guy who was mysteriously unconscious for nine hours, you probably do want to look into that...
I hope we get more Woolsey soon! I kinda loved him in SG-1 anyway, but I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying him on Atlantis...
