oh, grin. This is just - just spot on. I have a deep and abiding love of culture clash stories, and this just hits my buttons in so many ways. Ronon asks the right questions, and in the right ways; your leadup is just right. This kind of thing, a lot of the time, can seem staged or forced, but the progression you made here is just perfect. I didn't see it coming at all, which works really well, here.

And then - John hadn’t realized that he was still sort of having fun until he abruptly stopped. Oh, yes. Excellent, just right. And I love Ronon turning to Teyla, because I've always assumed that they must have the best / worst conversations about Earth things and Earthlings, trying to figure them out.

In conclusion: Ronon's right, Earth is weird. And this story? is excellent.

Heh. Ronon not getting stuff is really something that the show should explore more (Teyla too) - because dammit, it's just plain funny. :D

You can be on fire more often if you like - no complaints here.

John hadn’t realized that he was still sort of having fun until he abruptly stopped.
For some reason that line struck me as very John. The whole thing was very cool though. :)

Ha ha HA! This is me trying hard not to snicker at my desk at work. ;)
