SGA 3x17 Sunday  
I'm still trying to piece everything together. I very glad my expectations weren't high or I would have been really disappointed I think.

It's not that I didn't like it. It had some wonderful moments.

But it also made me wonder if the writers actually watched the show?
Since when are Rodney and Carson best buddies? Who are all those characters popping out of nowhere? the bearded guy with Liz made no sense to me. And that scene was extremely cliche as well.

And WTF??? In this episode already? I mean, I knew he was going to die. But why there?? Why so early? It makes no sense. And the ending. Is he ascended now?

I did love all the Rest. I loved all the Team moments. I loved the civies. I so called the John having been married part. I mean, what DO we know about him? Close to nothing that is personal.

I actually enjoyed the Rodney/Katie scene as well. I didn't think I would.

And I don't think Teyla talked about John. At least it could have been interpreted differently.

The funeral made me cry. It was done very well. I loved all the dress uniform and the look John and Rodney shared there nearly broke me.

The best part though was John asking Ronon if he was maybe dating or interested in a guy.

I think even if I hadn't seen the scene on GA it wouldn't have been quite as powerful. Both times, I "knew" it'd blow up, but on SGA it didn't seem to be as intense as it should have been. It wasn't McGillion's performance, maybe it was the editing that rubbed me the wrong way.

Or... maybe the writers were pushing too hard to make his exit an heroic one. On GA it didn't feel as forced because the guy who died was a bomb expert. Or maybe it was because of that ridiculous bomb tumor plot. Dunno.

Like I said before, it might have been better if the bomb had exploded during the surgery, killing everyone. That would have been cool because then Carson and his assistant would have given their life for a noble cause, but without succeeding. But that would have been too harsh, I guess.
