The Tao of Rodney

[eretria]

This is the episode that may have killed all the remaining braincells I had left. Also, it has the confirmation of something I've been saying since season 1.



Heh. If John and Rodney bickering is my most favourite thing? Rodney and Radek bickering is my second favourite.

Why, uhm, why do we have such an almost close-up on John’s ass? I mean, not that I’m complaining, but, uh, people?

John will keep an eye on him, eh? *snicker*

Why is poor baby sitting alone when all the others are sitting at a team table?

And, man, Ronon, stop harping on Rodney for eating, at least he’s eating healthy. *grump*

Radek and Elizabeth in the lab tickles me with tiny pleased smiles.

Aaaaaand, we have super-power Rodney. Oh, boy.

Could you STOP it with harpin on Rodney’s eating habits? Come on, people. It’s just not fair. If he really ate that much, he’d be fat, and he isn’t. Not by a long shot. I know the writers might consider it funny, but it’s not.

But, on the upside? Has Rodney ever looked quite as fluffy-haired as he does in the infirmary bed?

John doesn’t like it. It could be construed as him not having the cool mutation Rodney got, but I really think he’s worried about what this’ll do to Rodney.

And, uhm. The wriggly hips in the lab?  Oh my. Oh, oh my.

My god, John is absolutely right and Elizabeth is STILL defending the fucking Ancients? I can’t believe she doesn’t learn.

Though I must say that Elizabeth enervated over her kindergarden is quite amusing.

Man, ENOUGH with the food jokes. It wasn’t funny the first time, it definitely isn’t the third. The scene was amusing enough, this comment from Ronon really wasn’t fucking necessary. Rodney ISN’T FAT.

Chop chop. Is that canonically the first time he really said it? Does that mean it’s out of fanon now? But, really: Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

John finds mind-reading easier than talking? I’m not surprised.

Eeeeeee! Radek has reached the end of his tether. Oh, fluffy wee Radek.

If you kill Radek, you are SO DEAD.

22 minutes in and I have the bad feeling that this is an even worse idea that using tha device in the first place. Baby, don’t hurt youself, please?

Why isn’t anybody there to supervise this procedure? Where are John, Elizabeth and Radek?

Excuse me while I DIE. They’re in John’s room. With CANDLES. Oh. My. God. That. That. That just. That. *brain short-circuits and resolves itself into a puff of smoke* Rodney. On the floor. With John above him. Murmuring.

Oh, that scene. That. John would have gotten through to him, if only Rodney had let him.

Oh, Elizabeth. That was one of the first really fantastic scenes you had in a long time. I stand by my opinion that Elizabeth knows Rodney better than anyone else.

Oh, God, that was painful. And the perfect, perfect, perfect reaction from Radek.

Good god, are you trying to kill me here? Teyla, god, oh, *Rodney*.

You *are* killing me. God, Rodney, Ronon.

Good god, he wrote her a NOVEL. If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.

We are just never gonna get a hug between those two, are we? But I loved the intimacy of the scene, and John’s refusal to accept.

Oh, John.

Oh, RONON. D’awww. Oh, good god, that just. I will not ever get coherent again, will I?

There platonic het OTP. I HAVE SAID IT SINCE SEASON ONE; JUST FOR THE RECORD.

Also, Protoplasma, eh? Oh, Rodney.
