Oh my god, that hospital bed scene KILLED me. "Rodney-- Canada sucks. Rodney-- Zelenka's smarter than you are. Rodney, PLEASE pay attention to me. Look over here! I can do a cartwheel! Rodney, I apparently need your focus directed at me at all times or I will shrivel up and DIE!"
John is that kid that climbs to the top of the slide and yells "Lookie me! " and slides down head first.
And Rodney is the nerdy kid that looks up and goes "Wow, he's sliding down head first!" and when John gets to the bottom he says "So, I bet you think you're really hot shit!"
And John says, "Yeah, I am hot shit, so there!"
And then they tackle/grab each other, roll around in dirt and get little man crushes.
YES, I DID notice the three women on screen at the same time!--I nearly lifted out of my chair! It was like, Teyla and Elizabeth were actually people there for a moment! That's part of why I was so mad at Heightmeyer being all, "You're delusional" because dude, two powerful women at the same time having visions and you patronize them and tell them to takesome pills and lie down? I mean, the idea that they were being told that what they were seeing was invalid and being handed drugs was the price we had to pay for all that female power up on screen at once--don't worry, yes, they're talking and working together, but they're just CRAZY.
Which is just -- like, has Heightmeyer been watching the same show we have? If two people come to you and say "so I'm seeing this burnt guy," you don't diagnose stress right off. You call the tech guys and you scan for readings and you try to translate the language because weirder shit has happened here.
This was McShep cherry-pie (with bonus Zelenka and Teyla screentime on top, because I'd missed them lately).
Only, I vote that next time, during the 'OMG WE DIDN'T DIE AFTER ALL BECAUSE OF YOUR INSANE BUT BRILLIANT PLAN!!' moment, John and Rodney are in the same room together, so they can some in-the-heat-of-the-moment on-screen snogging.

I don't know! It's either that or *John* does. I mean, "overrated" doesn't mean BAD.

It's pretty much like that every episode.

And did you notice three women on screen at the same time having a conversation with each other? With no men?
And smiling to himself Zelenka because he is the smartest?
Tick all the boxes, SGA.
