So the thing is, when RL sucks I loose my will and motivation to post. But that isn't the only reason I've stopped posting about my favorite show.

Mostly, it's because it's just boring me to tears and sometimes so much that I fast forward half the episode. That shouldn't be the case really. People who know me personally know I fast forward almost any show because I'm really very impatient.

I don't think a redeeming quality of a show should be that I saw the main actor without his shirt on in a scene. I have no idea what changed in comparison to last year. Is it the lack of team, the lack of McShep, lack of John or just the overabundance of McKeller and omg Carson. I just wish he'd stayed dead. Or just the fact that it's actually getting slower than before and that really is saying something. Especially if I count the fact that of 13 eps I enjoyed 4 is really just sad.

What I'm loving right now, intentional or not, is Johns unrequited love for Rodney. And I'm not sure if it's the writers or just Joe Flanigan being very very bored. I know I would be.

David: Last season, season five, there's been a lot of interesting stuff, because there's this sort of triangle happening with Ronon and, uh - I guess it's four, as well, isn't it - um, with this sort of triangle happening between Ronon and Keller and McKay, which is quite the combination.

But, uh, so, basically . . . it's funny, I think Joe would probably have liked to have had that for himself, to not be seeing people, to not just be having a one episode affair, he really did want, I think, one arc of a relationship throughout that. And he always joked that his girlfriend on the show was me. You know, that McKay was basically his girlfriend, because it's the one that we have the relationship that goes up and down, I'm yelling at him, he's yelling at me, we're apologizing, it's like make-up scenes - [clarifies because some audience members seem to think he said make out, ha!] make up, make up. And he was always lamenting the fact that I wasn't a hot blonde.

got that here

Anyways, I kinda hope and wish that there will be more of it but I don't really believe that. I'm not spoiled for coming episodes by anything but pictures but it does seem there is a lot of McKeller on the way and the thing is, tptb cannot do romance. They just can't. How they handeled Rodney/Katie proofed that and I think, even though the built up isn't quite so bad it still isn't how it should work. It's like Smallville. Telling isn't the same as showing and what they show is an entirely different story and besides it's all just some walking cliche. "May the best man win?" I mean WTF?

Also, I don't believe I'm saying this but where is Teyla and why are we not seeing more of the baby.

And Inquisition was an episode I actually looked forward to. I should have known they'd butcher that. Less flashback more somethign else. I just don't understand why Ronon or at least Teyla were involved there. They are Pegasus natives and could have had such a better stand and spoken for the people of the Atlantis expedition.

And last but not least and I ranted about this before. Why are they making John more stupid? In previous seasons he had more ingenuous ideas and Rodney didn't feel the need to laugh at him about his intellect to Daniel Jackson.

Just going with the idea that John is in love with Rodney, it just pains me a lot.

Thing is now I've noticed a decrease of Atlantis reviews on Saturdays on my flist and a decrease of squee altogether and I think people agree with me and it just makes me sad because I've been reading more fanfiction in the past few month then I have the entire year before!

I've had this urge to reread some favorites a while back and was craving a fic where all I remembered was that it's an AU in which Rodney has to bring John to Jeanies wedding and she spends christmas with them. And I was so very sure that it just couldn't be Ladies Night at the Boom Boom Room by rageprufrock.

So I reread tons of AUs and well..it's just happy fic the way I like it and to find out which it was:

Romancing Alaska by ionaonie
Romance at the Roadgrill by lamardeuse
Converging by purna
Junk Cheap by devildoll

Only to realize the story I was actually looking for was indeed Ladies Night at the Boom Boom Room.

The shirtless scene as fanart by aesc: Hard Time Killing Floor.

Fic that made me happy especially in regard to what I posted above:
Solving a mystery by velocitygrass
Summary: Rodney's relationship with Jennifer is affecting our team dynamics and that is not acceptable.
Which is painful but also so so good and I already read it 3 times.

Mon Ami by neevebrody
which is a Tracker tag taking into consideration that very first scene.

Wrapping up this post is picspam.
Oh, check out melloniel's McShep season one screencapathon Epic Space Love.

Watching the new Merlin now. Of course frogspace got me hooked.
