look at all the beautiful colours. well. yellow. and by 'yellow' i mean 'slashy'.
[Not initially included: the first minute and a half, where Kat was still online so she copped my "oh he is NOT telling the train story!" comment and the "guh, Teyla's top is so HOT" comment.]
OMG. I seriously just sat bolt upright and shrieked "what?!" at Rodney having dinner with Katie Brown. I just. Seriously. What?! I mean, I realise (uh, belatedly) that canonically he's not (presently) actually shagging another bloke, but... seriously, is it like "lets recall old female love interests" this season or something? After nary a word about Cadman or Brown since early S2? Maybe they were worried about all the Boys Own-ness, since they don't give Teyla or Elizabeth that much to do.
...no, seriously. WHAT?! John! Do something!
Ahahaha. John is just being a shit now. (But, really. Katie Brown?! Do we blame him? I AM NOT OVER THIS, HI. *tin-hats* (And Kat rules, because she just pointed out - gay best friend! Yay for hand-waving!))
John, are you eating an ORANGE? No wonder Rodney's hanging out with Katie. SOMEONE's doing the edible equivalent of sleeping on the couch. *snerk*
LORNE! Yay! Does this mean we get the canon Evan today? *crosses fingers*
Dear John,
Could you be standing more gayly? Or more hotly?
No, srsly. Could you? Please? We'd all appreciate it. But I understand if it's not possible because that is exceeeeeeedingly hot as it is. Mmm. THUMBS.
Love,
Me.
Also, is the answer to everything in Pegasus "the Ancients did it"? ("A big cow pushed me!")
Lorne's FACE as he says McKay might want to check it out! SO CUTE. *hearts all OVER* AHAHAHA. What the hell, seriously? And, hee, that was some excellent eye-fucking. And oh man, Lorne's team must be wetting themselves snickering over this, really.
OUR GAME?!
THEIR GAME?
THE GAME RODNEY AND JOHN ARE/WERE PLAYING?! alskdjlaskjd.
No. Really. askldjlkasdjoiudoiewikefj *KEYBOARDMASH*
I. Can't. Even. Seriously, there are dogsleds next, aren't there? Dogsleds and Canada and Quests and missing Ancient limbs. It's the only way we can go from here. "At night" "in our spare time" "between missions" NO SRSLY HOW HARD DO YOU WANT US TO BE MAKING YOU SCREW. BECAUSE. REALLY NOW.
(Seriously, I am knees-to-chest on my computer chair, in a ball of "oh my god, oh my god" with delight. And I have to stop flailing, or I'll fall OFF.)
"As usual, everything sprang to life as soon as we entered" - okay, something about the phrasing of this? This is HEAVILY punching all of my dormant X Files fan buttons. Like, specifically, Bad Blood and Jose Chung's From Outer Space-esque shenanigan-y type buttons. oh. em. gee. And, seriously, flashbacks and especially unreliable-narrator flashbacks are like my DRUG and totally awesome and dear fandom, how are you so awesome?
OH GOD THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING CIV WITH REAL PEOPLE. OH GOD THEY'RE US. OH GOD THE META. *howling*
They are such the double-act. And Jebus H with the sticking by each other's stories and being all six years old and "we didn't do anything wrong" and and and.
(oh my god, I've only watched four minutes and three seconds so far. seriously. i could not do this on regular television. i NEED to be able to pause and freak out and, uh, post to LJ.)
*holds breath and waits for the comeback as to what JOHN did because there is NO WAY it is more mature than Rodney putting his face all over the flag. because they are boys* (oh, what, they're not going to tell us? c'mon. i want fic, people, and plenty of it!)
they are playing. footsie. under. the table. they ARE. i will listen to no other word on this matter. (this is possibly why SGA ate the internet. because they? are dorks just like WE ARE.)
i love that John always has his feet on the table.
...Rodney, why are you so excited about the women's hairstyles? heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. also, note? the 'Sam-like' hairstyle? is awfully like a blonde Sheppard 'do, too. *whistles innocently*
PEERING OVER THE MONITORS AT EACH OTHER. OMG. TOTAL EYEFUCKING.
also, i want to know when they started cheating. because they so did. because they are competitive as fuck.
Jebus. Humperdink. Christ. I. um. fuck. that POUT. the pout Sheppard gives him when Rodney is needling him about trade. seriously. guys. you are RAPIDLY DEPARTING THE LAND OF SUBTEXT AND ENTERING THE DOMAIN OF TOTALLYFUCKINGDOINGIT. that will be the face that launched a thousand icons. fucking A. Joe, how are you so pretty? *ruffles his hair* *cannot bring self to UNPAUSE* (for those of you playing along at home? we are now FIVE and a half minutes in. uh. i may be some time.)
Rodney made a list of demands. Oh, bless. Also? So not surprised. Oh, look, I appear to have rediscovered capital letters. Go me. (Sorry to people the lack of uppercase offends, I'll try and go back to fix if I can ever stop flailing?)
*can't breathe* "I don't need beans, I need lumber." He's wheedling. And MARRIED COUPLES talk this way. And-- oh god, I need to go to the kitchen or something, this is TOO MUCH to take in one go. Right. I got some. Uh. Cold water. (Shut UP.) Right. Unpausing again.
HE DOUBLED HIS ARMY. Oh John. And, oh, Rodney, I don't know if you can SAY it on sci fi/the movie channel, but you are SO thinking things about compensating and dick envy. It is writ clear on your face. Ohyes.
AHAHAHA! He started cheating! I don't think I even need to go "whoo, I called it" because omg, so obvious.
John knows the names of people Rodney dated in college. And the face! At "really cute blonde!" SO JEALOUS. Ahhh. Seriously. Fanservice up the wazoo. And poor Teyla and Ronon just sat there going "oh god, why did we agree to help these crazy Tau'ri again??"
"It kept the name it already had" OH GOD THAT LOOK I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT LOOK MEANT THAT WAS SECRETS, PRECIOUS. ...it's something like Chayaville, isn't it? *snerk*
HALO. *chokes on apricot* Okay, seriously, how much fun did they all have with this episode?? (eight minutes, five seconds. oh dear.) Also, you can tell I came in via the Jossverse because now I'm just getting all tense and expecting it to go Extremely Horribly Wrong.
Ronon playing with the crossbow that's as big as he is! ♥!!
"And I'm McKay. Dr. Rodney. McKay." Oh sweetie. You're not James Bond. (Also, again, with the fic! Nice one, writers!) Also, guys, c'mon, you apparently watch the same movies we do, you should have CLICKED BY NOW. (Also, being bowed to? Hi, anyone else thinking of Ewoks and cookfires? *snerk*)
"She's in for a rude awakening." *snickers more* Sour grapes ahoy. Don't worry, John, I'm sure we'll go to YOUR country next. :D
Aww, kids. It's not EASY being a God. *snickers helplessly*
Yay, Zelenka! Yay, Lorne! Yay Elizabeth! Also, "that's what he thought", hee. You go, Radek! *cheers* Unlocking additional levels! oh man. And, heeee. ...okay, I kind of want Evil Genius Zelenka fic now. Um. Nykl, dude, you give AWESOMELY expressive stuff in, like, a second flat. Most impressive.
Okay. John's 'guy' (man's man! hee!) sounds half-Australian. Weird.
Oh, man, that guilty look of "oh fuck, we messed up" when they (finally) realise they started the hostilities? For the WIN. Oh boys. You can start fights on planets you're not even ON. Mal would be so proud. (Kids, that's why you shouldn't try to subsume your physical attraction with fighting. Oh god! It's interplanetary pigtail-pulling!!)
Ronon's head-desking also wins. A very much lot.
Aaaaaaaah! The Lorne/Zelenka! Oh god! Seriously. Writers. Thank you. And eee cute and "why didn't you say potato?" and awww they're just standing there nattering and they're both so CUTE. Oh god, it's like I'm 12. I am so sorry, flist. But. Eeee! *puts sparkly nail polish on each of them*
Oh, Rodney, I don't know if explaining this is a good idea. I'm thinking "heresy" is on the cards here, really.
*SCREAM* (sadly, literally. no wonder my family thinks I'm crackers.) 16.41, 16.41!! Kiwi flag patch! Again! They love us, they really love us! And I think it's the same dude! YAY FOR CONSISTENT EXTRAS. Dear guy who keeps grabbing the kiwi patch: YOU RULE. (okay, I think I strained something while Paul-Gross-Arm-ing. Oh dear.)
See??
I, uh. Don't really think I should go into what I did to get that. Since I can't screencap. But I couldn't help myself. Um. *loser!!!*
I'm gonna go right ahead and assume they went through a med check and all that kind of thing because, guys, really. You SUCK at keeping contaminants/saboteurs/general bad stuff out of Atlantis. I mean. I'm just saying. You might want to put the Kiwi SAS guy in charge of that or something, because god knows our Customs/Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries people could give lessons in Effective Isolated Environment Control. (Also, Baden? Oh John. Sugar.)
Okay, Rodney is taking this pretty well, really. And behaving well. So far. I'm kinda proud. Although, if he takes advantage of the (admittedly gorgeous) woman? I will still kick his ass because so not cool. But. Aw. Puppies. Also, um, it's hot when he says "dirigibles". *is sad person*
...oh, John. Don't get drawn into this. Except, um, Baden guy? Has really pretty eyes. There's gonna be lots of hot militaristic slash with the two of them, isn't there?
Crates of citrus fruit! Lemonwank, the next frontier!
Blue jello! Blue jello! Okay. Own up. SOMEONE on LJ writes for this show. Because they are picking up on the common themes and fucking running with them, right down to the tropes and injokes.
I love the fight about the coal mine and at the same time I hope Elizabeth hands them their asses for it. Also? This is a nice wee homily on role-playing, too. *snickers more*
Except, oh, fuck, now it has turned into the stupid ethical thing at the beginning because they're going to try to sacrifice the people in the dirigible for the village. Damnit, show, I thought you were better than that. (Er, the 'story at the beginning echoed in the episode' thing, that is. Is that a kind of chiasmus? I can't remember. I know there's a term for it.)
OMFG. Lorne and Zelenka are in SO MUCH TROUBLE. Poor Elizabeth.
I was having the creeping horrors that they didn't have electro-whatsit? (phoresis? I'll check later) and were using hydrogen instead of helium but thankfully that seems to not be the case. That would be too close to home. Though, okay, I guess I have to thank them for giving me custom-made footage for please-someone-make-it vid set to "History is made by Stupid People".
OH MY-- JESUS FUCK.
*bites hand*
*has nearly fallen off chair* He grabbed. The tac vest. He grabbed Rodney. By the tac vest. And yanked. ICONS AND VIDS FOR ALL. *whimpers*
Daedalus ex machina, again, but, okay, I can totally live with that if it saves 'collateral damage' on the actual everyday beings of the galaxy because it drives me nuts when they're just cannon fodder, so, um, yay?
OMG OMG CANONICAL CHESS PLAYING OMG OMG OMG OMG. And they're both such sore losers omg. LOVE. And the 'yasureyoubetcha'-esque response to Elizabeth's question. And oh god with the needling and the, seriously, guys, just admit it. You are TOTALLY DOING IT. And kicking is not all he's gonna be doing to your ass, Rodney. And holy fuck, I think that's up there in the top five slashiest episodes ever. And oh my god. With the canonical John kicking Rodney's ass at chess and and and. I think I need a lie down. Or a cold shower. I don't even KNOW.
And, yay! Now I can actually go read my friends page!
