(I may or may not have been refreshing my flist waiting for someone to post about this just so I can squee *shiftyeyes*)
I liked it too! At first I was all set against it but McKay was so heartbreakingly good and tragic. Also, the fake old!make-up on Lorne was so hilariously bad. And Lorne!
Re: the shallow side: I kinda liked the Rodney/Jennifer. It worked, for me at least, in that time line. The two of them were the exiles of the Pegasus expedition and I think they could've probably found solace in each other. Not the makings of a great romance, but sad and angsty :)
And was it not like the writers got all the fanfic EVER WRITTEN and combined elements of it to make this?
I really liked the idea of it, because I think that it's totally something that Rodney would do--cling to the one person that he had left. I can 100% see that happening. But I just... I didn't see it between the actors, you know? Nothing about it really pinged me as more than a sort of awkward clinging to all they had left. And maybe it was supposed to be that way? And if that's true, then I'm all for it, but I didn't buy that it was a huge love affair? I DON'T KNOW I'M SO TORN. I really, really wanted to like it and I love it in theory but... I don't know

Ahh I see -- yeah there was a definate lack of chemistry between the actors. In my head I'm chalking it up to the fact that Rodney's still pining over John and that he can never be comfortable with a woman. *nods firmly* And I do believe that we were totally spoiled by TWW. Even people who were never, ever supposed to have a romantic connection had more sparks than most other teevee couples.
I also agree with the David and Amanda and Ronon and Keller. SO MUCH CHEMISTRY. It's like a science project.
I really, really wanted to like it and I love it in theory. Mostly I have a feeling that I'm going to like it in fic, lol. Which shall tide me over for Season5.
Oooh, also? Woosley looked AWFUL in the Atlantis uniform. It was awkward-turtle just watching him haha.
Oh gosh, I'm super!glad to hear that S5 might be over the summer? Because there is NO fucking WAY I could wait until September. Jesus Christ. (Although, now that I think about it, I kind of did last year when Canada was on a different schedule than the US
