Oh, wow. That gave me the shivers.

[bratfarrar]

Gave me the shivers once I realized what I was writing.

Thanks!

Oh my. John and Rodney's are especially heart-rending for me because those are the very traits that I love and admire in them, and they are the things (viewed in another light/experienced in an alternate universe) that damn them.

Splendid.

[bratfarrar]

It was supposed to be a somewhat lighthearted series of unconnected snippets. But then John got shipped back to earth, and then there wasn't anyone to keep Rodney from blowing himself up, and then Elizabeth had no support system, and no one brought Ronon home, and ...

Well, there wasn't anyone left for Teyla after that.

(Thanks!)

Four is Ronon isn't it? Very good but very creepy.

[bratfarrar]

Yup. It's Ronon. Or was Ronon. By now he's forgotten he actually had a name at some point, that he was a person and not just a Wraith-killer.

Thanks! I wasn't aiming for creepy, but I seem to have landed there pretty solidly. Funny how that happens sometimes.

Logical and scary.

[bratfarrar]

Thanks! (I think; I'm currently kind of freaked out over the fact that I wrote this, unprompted by anyone or anything except a self-imposed midnight deadline.)

Whoa! I'm impressed! Very awesome! Very creepy! Very realistic! Were SGA a darker show, I could easily see one or both of those happening.

[bratfarrar]

The best episodes, I think, were the ones that made quite clear how thin was the knife's edge that the expedition balanced on, especially in the early years.

(and i could probably phrase that better, but you get what i'm trying to say, right?)
