SGA 4x13 Quarentine  
I went into this expecting it to suck! To be cringe worthy in a lot of ways. I was spoiled because I couldn't help but view that first scene a week ago. I already voiced my misgivings about Rodney/Katie and the idea that they should/would get married when they are this awkward together and when all of their relationship takes place in botany and you never see a real connection or a familiarity that I think a stable realtionship needs just seems ridiculous to me.

That said, I'm really happy with the way they resolved it in the end and that it wasn't too cheesy and she didn't die or something because I was sure that was the copout that they were going to use.

I thought it was really interesting that when Rodney tells John he wants to propose he actually puts the words "You don't think I'm ready" in Johns mouth it is great foreshadowing and only means that he really isn't. Also golfing on the computer? *g* John is not happy about any of it ;)

I loved the John and Teyla scenes. John has a cop friends with three kids? I love John and Teyla a lot better as friends than as a romanic interest. And omg, how good was he thing about John realizing that Rodney is in the botany lab. No, it's not a "Dammit, how will we get out of this mess then" it's a "oh god, he's gonna be freaking".

How cool is it that Teyla and John find out what's wrong together. And Rodney old him his password which is veeery loonnng sring of numbers. 42, his inner geek knows no bounds! And I loved Teylas look there, like she knows g*. Also John feeling the baby kicking with that smile and Teyla is totally serene.

OMG JOHN are you insane?? Normal people use protective grear. Bu so cool, he's like spiderman. And how weird that noone comments that he just climbed up the whole tower. Insaneinsaneinsane. It reminds me of last years gaecmap where I almost didn't manage to climb up he bed!

Also, I really enjoyed Ronon/Keller and I did like he way they talked when they finally did. I really wouldn't mind them really hooking up :)

Carter and Radek are very cool together as well. And I think it's cool that Radek gets to save he day John McLaine style for one ;)

Watching FNL now. Do not forget to check out [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis's Porn battle if you haven't already.

I thought that there'd be a cop out in this ep too, but it wasn't it actually used the event for McKay character development, there was also continuity (PIGEONS!) and just this series gets better and better.

I'm reading friendsfriends here at work because I love reading stargate reviews but yessss - John is a fuzzy, insane little Spiderman. Because, like, Batman totally has grappling hooks, and a utility belt, and a hang glider strapped to his back! And yes - everyone's non-reaction to John just climbing through the window was great, like he does this stuff *all the time*, yo.

Heee, me too. Reading reviews. I've got today free.

I wonder though why Teyla didn't strap a rope around him or something, except if they didn't find one but they didn't even go *look* did they? But alas, I was seriously freaked out for him!

And so true. They didn't even comment on it in the end either.

No, it's not a "Dammit, how will we get out of this mess then" it's a "oh god, he's gonna be freaking".

I had the exact same thought. How odd was it?

And John's crazy. We love him for it though. :)

I was nervous about the whole Katie/Rodney thing as well, glad that seems to be over. I don't think they are good together at all, no chemistry in my opinion.
