Also there might be some capslock. Maybe. Just a little.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ON A TOASTED BAGEL HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Dear Martin Gero,
Did you- did you just turn into Joss when no one was looking??
You have just, somehow, pretty much pwned Sateda AND McKay and Mrs Miller which I didn't even think was humanly possible, and- just. God. Babies. Babies EVERYWHERE.
Love,
Me.
PS Plz keep reading the good fanfic. Yes, we can tell.
I JUST. God. Everything. I was watching while sort of talking to Kat and I have physically HURT myself trying to not spoiler anything. The Princess Bride! Ronon grabbing John! John LISTING WHAT IS IN HIS ROOM! And, seperately because it made me fall off my chair: sudoku books! The Cash poster! alskdjalskdj! "we just had to say it out loud!" Ronon in general! Rodney's address to the troops on the Daedalus! Pizza! SPEAKING LOOKS. John playing with model airplanes! 1/4 through War and Peace!! !! MUTINY ON THE FUCKING SGC! (Which, yes, duh, but I'm still proud of myself for calling it about a half hour before it happened.) TURTLES! John being a bitch about the turtles! Popcorn! Cadman mention! John having his own gateteam! And stupid wacky adventures with them! lkajsdlksj. Elizabeth trying to be all WoW-y! John pulling a Hermione and shooting that dude with the 'zat gun! The TEAMNESS OF IT ALL. People missing each other! CSI-esque beeper scene! "I'm having dinner with you tomorrow anyway"! Landry ordering John back and him disobeying orders again and the threat to his career and I wanted to hug the Atlanteans and also throw up and just, fuck. 'HYPOTHETICALLY' IN GENERAL. Although, I must admit, if the SGC bigwigs thought that any of them was going to not do this? Wow, with the stupid. Also, I am clinging to the belief that before they had their hypothetical discussion Rodney did some kind of cursory check for bugs, because, um. Also, the fact that Elizabeth thought John was quoting Oscar Wilde makes me happy on about three levels at once. Tee hee hee. And god, there was all the rest of the EIGHT BAJILLION TIMES (see below. heh.) I started typing something and then choked it back. I am in this curious state of complete exultation and wanting to throw up and also to scream and just, god, this is my show, this is what it should be like ALL THE TIME and god it's so evil and brilliant and I have to wait til fucking OCTOBER DEAR SCIFI I HATE YOU SO HARD RIGHT NOW and that's only if Canadian torrents show up otherwise MARCH and what the FUCK and oh my fucking god I am sitting here SHAKING adn now I want to watch it again and oh god oh god oh GOD. I have no idea what it would've been like watching this with someone to cling to. aklsjdalksjdlaks. FUCKING HELL. I just. I can't even. DED. Ded by Stargate.
Seriously. I'm STILL shaking and I spent the last ten minutes clawing at the desk and making noises and I think I maybe ripped my nails (because the desk is not exactly claw-able) and and and. *is incoherant*
ALSO:
-we made a good plan (!!)
-unforeseen circumstances!
-Midway! also, why is Rodney saying "macro" hot?
-they actually applaud when he says cue applause alksjdalksjd.
-Kat: Awwww, Colonel Killjoy!
-Atlantis in fog - so pretty!
-echo with the "seems to be in one piece" from Siege 3
-Walther!
-Chuck getting a long line and being adorable as always
-maidens and voyages alksdjalskdj!
-"that's what the president said" HEEE.
-Jack!
-puddlejumperyaye
-DOPPLER.
-(Also I am not sure I believe the other people weren't Asurans to start with. but then, I expect a double-tiered lie more because, hi, Joss Whedon has owned me for several years now)
-John tapping his fingers KILLS ME DED. also that Caldwell is doing it at the same time initially.
-"they're not laughing they're unconscious"
-the "RODNEY" after the "to be perfectly fair they may not be"
-"it happens to us all the time"
-I think Rodney found Caldwell asking about relativity vaguely hot
-"that would be worth finding out" with the finger snapping that John TOTALLY GOT FROM HIS BOYFRIEND.
-saying "yes" right away to the stranded probable-Ancients?? guys, come on, LEARN FASTER PLEASE.
-Teyla's blue shirt is so damn cute.
-CHUCK!
-Rodney's face when that thing popped out of the gateroom floor
-Jack in Atlantis!
-...admittedly, yes, they woke the Wraith. heh. but the Ancients started it! heeeeh.
-Jack's LOOK when Woolsey grabs his arm, heh.
-John kills me with the bit about people taking other people's homes. also, on a shallow note? how much do i love how he nailed Rodney's house from "Home". Heh
-"that is not this day" fucks me up because of the echoes with lotr. gaaaah.
-Elizabeth's reaction to Jack saying she can't say. god. this is so well done.
-Kat: Elizabeth being a brave little toaster
-Jack fiddling with his collar!
-John looking at Elizabeth after Jack orders him to get everyone ready to leave. Not at his 'official' CO for orders, but ELIZABETH. That's telling.
-fucking Ancients HATE HATE HATE.
-John's fury is just... perfect. spot on. god. ow.
-Ronon knocking. and not having that much stuff.
-standing on the fucking BED. (also, way to be Han Solo, kid.)
-"I can't leave this galaxy while there's a single Wraith alive" alksdjalskdj.
-the flash of John's back when Ronon picks him up and that grunted little "oh god" alksjdalksdj.
-popcorn
-Teyla being all Teal'c with the "JohnSheppard"
-Rodney's saving the day kink
-this episode needed more Zelenka, damnit
-John furious and trying to be professional
-John saying goodbye to Teyla, and god, that would've been stupid with a kiss, but the Athosian forehead thing there was just beautiful.
-And Rodney trying to the last second to take care of his city, and the balcony he's standing on? Yeah, that's the one John threw him off in Hide and Seek. It breaks the heart. And the head.
-Elizabeth, who was the first one through the gate, being the last one out. god. this episode fucking stomps all over my heart. thanks a lot, Martin. (really, LOVE, though. but, ow.)
-FAUNA. I do not want to know. HEE. also, "babbling brook" ahahaha.
-"sycophants" and that whole phone conversation. yes, i've mentioned this multiple times already.
-CHEMISTRY. even the SGC know they have chemistry!!
-this first message from Pegasus feels really wooden. why does the SGC not have code words for messages? i was expecting a "that's code for Jack saying things are fubared" any second.
-darts. planes. John knowing everything about Rodney's new job eee. SO FUCKING MARRIED.
-John playing with the planes hurts even more because, of course, at the SGC? he doesn't get to fly anything.
-Elizabeth in casual clothes is so cute. and Carson being all concerned. and her ponytail!
-backstory for Carson yaye! family of seven, he's gotta be one of the youngest. i mean, normally i'd be all over "responsible older child becomes doctor" type things, but he feels like a younger child to me.
-Kat: GO TEAM CARSON!
-"that's impossible" and at that point I automatically add "for a computer" and, hey, replicators. heh. Gero, you are a DORK.
-Kat points out Elizabeth is wearing RED. and I didn't notice because I'm so USED to it. and then she realised they're ALL wearing their colours.
-"Cheeky". so cute.
-Carson not having his mobile!! Hee.
-way to be all "oh, look, here's a downfall to the gate linkage thing which we will blame you for" even though any idiot would've seen it coming and it wasn't just Rodney's project anyway
-way to not break it to them well and god their faces
-John taking... sixty soldiers through the gate to take Atlantis. that doesn't at all echo with season one, nope, not at ALL. heh.
-nuking the city? at this point i had to pause it because i felt physically nauseous.
-I will actually cry more if by "lost most of the city" they mean "destroyed" and not just "out of their control".
-Rodney's hands shaking in the briefing room. fuck.
-Kat points out there are only 60 levels of WoW. hee.
-We've decided Martin Gero? Is also gay for the Mountie. Because the buddy breathing in 3x01, and now turtles mentioned in a plane, and... eee.
-John: "We've got a plan. A good one."
Me: John SO watched Buffy.
Kat: alksdjalks TEAM BUFFY NIGHTS
-"I need you because you're part of my team."
- "our HOME". i just. i can't EVEN.
This episode was practically better than, well, it was DEFINITELY better than a lot of chocolate, at the very least. Good god.
...I may be about to watch it for the third time tonight. Um.
