SGA 4x06 - Tabula Rasa  

This season is awesome!!! I loved the episode a lot. I loved the eerie quality of it. The Memento-like storyline with it's flashbacks that is slowly unraveling facts and I loved the dynamics with the characters. John and Ronon, Teyla and Rodney, Rodney and Sam, Teyla and Sam.

I loved Ronon being smart and figuring things out right away. Teyla being really level headed with Rodney. Sam and John working well together.

Lorne and the polaroid of John was a great touch. Rodney writing on himself and taping himself so he doesn't forget. And of course I loved all the slashy undertones.

But here's the thing. I really dislike Katie Brown. Which mostly has to do with the fact that I cannot stand watching Brenda James. But not the only reason.

I mean, how much time has passed from Duet to Sunday and them from Sunday to this episode? I really cannot take it seriously and I don't buy this big love story for Rodney that Joe Malozzi always says it is.

This forced happy cheery first scene seemed forced to me.

They are so not in a relationship that has been going on for quite a while. Because had they been? They would have talked normally and not like they are on crack and Rodney would have known where Katie had been.

I think the polaroid bit was my favorite besides all the Rodney/Teyla and Rodney/Sam/Zelenka moments. John Sheppard is just so cute when he's lost.

Also, a big YES on the Katie Brown thing. I try to like her, I really do - and it's not even that I ship McKay/Sheppard, because I'm apt to read Rodney/Anyone. But I don't believe their relationship at all.

When they're together it's always like a first date, a first blind date. Maybe Katie's really into it, but it seems like a necessary chore for Rodney most of the time.

Also, when he wakes up with his eyes all puffy. *g* And I totally agree about the dynamics of Rodney/Teyla!

Well, since I don't like the actress, she didn't have much of a chance. But I was just hoping they would execute it well and make it believable, but it was actually worse to me than what I thought could happen. It made no sense.

and yes exactly. It's like every date is a first date and they were both so awkward and weirdly cheery.
