Okay, finally trying to place everything in one convenient location. This was written eons ago for one of

It has become apparent that, some time early last century, an incarnation of Rodney McKay spent time in Paris, making surrealist landscapes and ranting beneath the brightly colored umbrellas of outdoor cafes about the hackery of all other Surrealists, especially the famous ones. He in every way rejected the notion that he was part of any kind of a ( Read more... )

Notes on a possible Rodney-as-lover. Version 6, not to be confused with Version 16, who is an actual gay virgin.

1.      He has been told that someone was in love with him five times.

2.      Every single one of the above someones also mentioned that they never imagined him when they pictured their future love.

3.      He can’t understand why all ( Read more... )

 
Like usual of late, love and hate this episode. Did I mention the John and Rodney love? And the extreme stabbiness and horror? Right then.

Thoughts on Misbegotten (SG:A 302)

Yay!

How about a nice fat list o'love?

1. Ronon WON"T STOP TOUCHING RODNEY!
   
2. See above. Definitely worth two mentions.
3. John's dorky attempts at metaphor; the park one ran away from him like a stampeding elephant heading for a cliff. I so love it when he fails at cool.
4. Elizabeth's shakiness, admitting to being wrong, and yet standing strong ( Read more... )

Some folks out there are already watching Season 3!

Meanwhile, I wait more or less patiently, and with a smidgen of dread. Who knows what will happen to the folks I’ve learned to love? So here are a handful of story recs, to keep me occupied. There are many excellent stories in Stargate:Atlantis fandom, but these ones all have something ( Read more... )

I just realized something about the John-turns-into-a-bug episode!

Remember when people were tripping out about how John acted with Chaya? Because he basically glomped onto her in a pretty freakishly overeager way, which only makes sense if a) he was somehow affected by her gene or being an Ancient, or b) he was playing her to get access to her ( Read more... )

10 elements of Kavanagh’s characterization that fanon frequently gets wrong. At least possibly.

(By “wrong” I mean in disagreement with my own reading of canon.)

1. The man's not stupid. He is very intelligent. It is quite possible that, without his insight, the team might not have survived “38 Minutes”.
2. Kavanagh's not useless to ( Read more... )
