[the last six episodes of stargate atlantis season one, woo!]
i finished two of my three final projects, and so i sat down and mainlined the last six episodes of sg:a season one.
john: what am i, a realtor, rodney?
oh! and all the lights come on for john! atlantis loves him, it really does, which is part of why i love john/rodney/atlantis stories so much. atlantis loves john, and john loves rodney, and it's just. perfect.
THE HAIR.
... um. i just felt the need to say that.
john and rodney in their t-shirts, john's feet on the desk, theorizing. omg. i love them so much. they're just ... they're like dan and casey, only in SPACE. and everything is better IN SPACE.
i'm sorry. i'm just. really not interested in elizabeth, okay? i don't mind her, i think she's a pretty okay leader even if rodney and john spend a lot of time undermining her authority - omg john in the background of the scene around the table looking rumpled and COMPLETELY AMUSED, omg, omg, SO HOT - but i'm just completely bored by her. and this episode. well, it's about elizabeth. and it does feature rodney being spectacularly hot and science geeky, but i'm bored by elizabeth. sorry. i lose.
rodney: don't even get me started on that movie.
john: i like that movie!
oh, righteous indignation, you look good on john sheppard.
i love david hewlett's hands. and despite being bored by elizabeth, i do find the parallels to "rising" to be fascinating, and i'm always a sucker for a what if episode, you know? yeah.
god, joe flanigan is so fucking hot i cannot even believe it. the lines of his shoulders in a t-shirt. his forearms. his back. the nape of his neck. his hair. my god. UNBELIEVABLY HOT.
"i can fly just about anything." oh, sweet brave john. flipping a coin to come to atlantis. AND FROWNY SAD SCARED BRAVE RODNEY.
okay, people, i fell. i fell so hard for this show; i fell so hard for john and rodney who are far from perfect and i just. every episode of this show makes my heart clench in the best and worst possible ways. and. and. "i died?" oh, rodney. my heart just. oh. oh.
... all right, okay, i'm not heartless, okay? the scene between the two elizabeths, "don't be so hard on yourself", that was okay. that was good.
omg, she's an INTERGALACTIC LIBRARIAN. and she's got the HOTS FOR RODNEY. *love love love love love*
i spend a lot of time sitting around trying to figure out what exactly it is about john sheppard's usual facial expression that makes him look simultaneously amused and like he's about to cause immense amounts of trouble. i think it's the eyebrows, but i'm not sure. nevertheless, i have put a lot of thought into this, and i plan to put a lot more thought into it, and i will figure it out someday.
.... ahahahahahaha, czech cursing! i love radek zelenka. like. a lot. A LOT.
"my kind of science is the good kind of science ... the kind you can do sitting in a chair, or laying on a couch." n'awwwww, lazy brilliant rodney. LOVE. and ahahahahaha, he doesn't know what to do with the hottie librarian hitting on him! FANTASTIC.
john: shut up, mckay.
rodney: you got a better idea?
john: ... no.
SUM OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
ah, the snapping! the bossiness! even when he is a prisoner and being forced to work against his will! SO BOSSY.
JOHN BEING A HOTTASS MATH GEEK. MENSA. OMG. "you're a member of mensa?" i can literally SEE rodney reconsidering what he thinks about john in that moment. and john's smartass little crooked smile. and his wrists when he puts his hands on the handprints. and his face when the zpm shoots out of the wall. I LOVE THIS EPISODE.
"i need my eyes for seeing!" oh, rodney.
rodney is so ridiculously turned on by the fact that john passed the mensa test. ahahahahahahaha.
the librarian is a traitor! oh, allina, you are not doing good things for our profession!
and hee: john's "omg rodney you are such a fucking dumbass" face. love it. LOVE.
i love this show so much.
elizabeth: any recommendations?
carson: other than panic?
oh, carson.
i love it when john is all smart and planny. and when elizabeth and radek look at him like, omg, wait, i forgot you had a brain. and just. so. so delicious to look at, mmmm.
poor rodney looks so uncomfortable any time somebody tries to suggest that he might have any emotional ties to anyone. maybe that's why he and sheppard get along so well poorly: neither of them like to admit that they care about people. john shows it by saving people. rodney shows it by being an asshole. LOVE.
poor sweet brave ford. SO MUCH LOVE.
ford: well, who do you wish was here?
carson: nobody! i wish i wasn't bloody here!
OH CARSON.
all the people recording messages made me CRY. carson getting all choked up. ford and his grandparents. radek talking in czech and waving his hands around. elizabeth recording messages to the families of the people who died. and rodney's melodrama! his smug immodesty! his notecards! talking about short haired blondes! his message to sam carter! his hilarious discussion about his cat! TALKING TO HIS SISTER. I CRIED LIKE A BABY.
john and teyla talking in the jumper. john, protecting himself with a military veneer. teyla, getting to him anyway. "this is hard to sit and watch." part of why i like having teyla on that team is that her morals are so strangely different - and yet similar - to the earth folks. and stupid brave john running off the jumper. teyla, staring down the wraith, and afterwards just standing, breathing slowly. john, not understanding. john, remembering that he was punished for going in after his men and wanting to ... feeling that even as he wants to stay and help teyla. beautiful. every scene between them this episode, i loved.
john, recording a message to colonel sumner's family. his eyes. his voice. oh, my heart. MY HEART.
rodney: ... besides crying ourselves to sleep?
OH RODNEY.
also i love it when rodney and radek snark at each other. not as much as when rodney and john snark at each other, but almost.
dude. seriously. the thigh holster? SHOULD NOT BE NEARLY THAT HOT.
... you know, with imminent death and destruction on the horizon for atlantis, i really shouldn't be thinking about how hot john sheppard looks in that long-sleeved black shirt with the zipper at the neck and the high collar. BUT HE DOES.
AHAHAHA, RODNEY IN AN ASTRONAUT'S SUIT. and AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, RODNEY FALLING DOWN.
ford: what? i say we should just give them names.
john: *eyebrow*
*HEART HEART HEART* never naming anything again!
omg, rodney and grodin and miller playing rock paper scissors. OMG. and stupid brave lovely rodney, floating around in space, trying to fix big toys! so much love! so much love! ... wait, are we just letting bits of the satellite float away into space now? oh, rodney. and leaving grodin in the satellite! omg. SO SAD. and the satellite exploding. and. i don't know, i really think that this show handles death well. because - like with wash in serenity - it's a stupid pointless death, death in the face of battle, and it hardly ... i like the way they handle death. that's all.
steve! bob! oh, john. one of sheppard's best qualities: humor in the fact of anger and fear. love it. and john, shooting the wraith, best hardass look on his face, hiding his fear. and every time he calls the wraith bob. his mouth set. the gun pulled on the wraith while elizabeth talks. oh, john. oh.
omg, who is this colonel, and why do i find him so obnoxiously hilarious?
... i think john's run out of hair gel at this point. i hope the daedalus brings him some more. i miss THE HAIR. it's so ... FLAT now.
john's frowny face, sitting in the tactical meeting and listening to colonel everett. he really doesn't do well with authority, does he? which, you know, being military ... well, the black mark in afghanistan makes sense, canonically. and while i appreciate what the colonel is doing for them, mostly i kind of want him to leave john alone to make his own plan! although i suppose that blowing himself up is not necessarily an excellent plan. still. poor frowny frustrated john. JOHN, RODNEY WILL CONSOLE YOU.
and the one-on-one scene, about sumner. oh, john. i believe that john is good at what he does, and i don't just mean flying - he is good at being military, but at the same time. he cares too much. he stays detached from so many other things, but he cares so much about what people, higher up people, think of him even when he's disobeying orders. it just. it breaks my heart for him, is what it does. and it makes me realize that ranking military officer on atlantis is the perfect job for him.
OH FORD. OH JOHN, sitting in the chair that scared him so much. john, who loves his city so much, and the city loves him back. "are you volunteering for a suicide mission?" HE IS. OH, JOHN.
rodney and radek thinking together. oh, HEART.
rodney: well, we're building nuclear bombs here, staying awake is kind of a prerequisite. OH, RODNEY.
JOHN. OH. "you let sheppard fly that jumper?" rodney CARES. you can see it all over his face. *weeps*
i'm having the kind of week where i go and get myself a cookie and take two bites and then forget about the cookie because i wandered off to do homework, and then later when i find the cookie, half-eaten, balanced precariously on top of my aacr2 or a stack of books about digital preservation, my first thought is not, "ew, how long has that been there?" but instead "oh, hooray, a cookie!"
i should not be allowed out on my own until after finals, because it's entirely that i will wander into traffic while i'm thinking about controlled vocabularies instead of where i'm walking.
john: what am i, a realtor, rodney?
oh! and all the lights come on for john! atlantis loves him, it really does, which is part of why i love john/rodney/atlantis stories so much. atlantis loves john, and john loves rodney, and it's just. perfect.
