um. so, opening scene S5.

[tielan]

Sorry. I'm just watching the opening scene again. And I really have to let my inner shipper off the leash to squee.

I was nice and restrained on other people's journals. Really, I was. I was polite. I smiled and nodded. I glee'd when it came to the team (who were the definition of cute and adorable and so very loyal to each other - even if I didn't mention the team-ness in my last post). But I didn't squee.

I really, really, have to squee. It's like the Adama/Roslin shippers the other week - you know it's going to all go bum-end up pretty soon, so you gotta squee while you got 'em!

SQUEE!!!

I. Love. This. Because, darlings, this is all in John's head, being made up by his subconscious. He's providing the candles, the wine, the admissions, the cues. The night is going the way he wants it to go, cued by a side of him he doesn't usually let out to play. He wants this quiet time with Teyla - and he wants her to want the quiet moments between them, too. And, what I find very amusing, is that John plays the gentleman and offers her an early night while what he really wants is for Teyla to invite him in to 'thank him properly'!

Which, I guess, depicts the way John and Teyla work their relationship quite perfectly: he lets her set the intimacy level and he stands by it.

I am a happy little shipper at this moment. My gen f-list can be reassured: it will pass - it always does! But in the meantime, I am gleeful and squeeful and a happy little vegemite!

ZOMG! SQUEE!

And, right on cue, here come the plotbunnies!

Ack!

Hey, you're entitled to squee when your ship gets something awesome. Everybody else does, so why not you?

And just 'cause I don't share the ship doesn't mean I can't be happy for you. I know how happy I am when I get something cool for one of my ships :)

[tielan]

Thank you!

I just tend to feel a bit silly getting excited about something that very few other people get visibly excited about.

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

I was amused/bemused and happyish about it too.

I find it hilarious that it was John who was thinking in terms of being properly thanked.

He's so frozen. But when he's bleeding out and knocked out he's girly girl relaxing with his main squeeze.

This is the guy that loves Ferris wheels. :D

[tielan]

This is the guy that loves Ferris wheels. :D

John really does have a hero complex at the heart of it - one to match Joe Flanigan's one (he sounded very disappointed to have to explain to his son that daddy didn't actually get into a jumper and fly away to another galaxy to save the universe - he just pretended to)!

Still, back in the Stargate Universe, one wonders how many times John was 'properly thanked' in a ferris wheel car. ;)

[skywardprodigal.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the Flanigan story. That's so funny. The Flan is funny.

I do wonder about gratitude, Shep, and the ancient gene.

I think the Pegasus galaxy should be awash in spikey haired 4 year olds.

:D

[mahoni.livejournal.com]

HEEEEE. I was so totally thinking of you during the beginning and end scenes! <3

[tielan]

*SQUEEES*

It's a very squeeworthy scene :). Quite an enjoyable episode. And while I like them all, it was very nice to see John/Teyla moments, John & Ronon scenes, Ronon & Teyla scenes. It felt way more balanced than the usual John and Rodney eps, so I enjoyed it a lot more. I'm sorry to see Sam go but I hope we'll get more of Teyla, Ronon, Keller and Lorne in the future. On the whole a very nice beginning to the season.

[tielan]

I was yelling at Alli in chat! Of all the times she had to pick to go out of the room!

*rolls eyes*

At least this means I can watch it with you guys when it comes on. :D

I'm sorry to see Sam go but I hope we'll get more of Teyla, Ronon, Keller and Lorne in the future.

Yeah, that is a bummer, although here's hoping for more Team!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Hey you have nothing to be ashamed about!

That beginning was really, cool because it was all in John's head.

Quiet times alone? Wine? All dressed up very formal like. And in John's head Teyla was very receptive to the mood and she tells him how much these times 'alone' are her favorite.

As you said John's "you have an early night" was right out of the gentlemen handbook.

Then the end, and the naming of the baby. See Ronon and Rodney both made hints about wanting the child named after them--yet she names him after John.

I was happy for you as I know a lot of people were happy for me and my Ronon and John bonding/angsting together scenes.

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

okay, what the hell are you people talking about?? When did you see 5.01? It's not due out here until July 11th.... so what the -? Where? When? Who?

TIELAN!! You got some splaining to do!! Talk to me girl.

*brings her flowers and candy in a big heart-shaped box with a photo of John and Teyla in each other's arms*

Pleeeeeeeeeease!

Wait! What? She names the baby after John? *stares open mouthed like a giant guppy* Talk to me, Tie!

[tielan]

Someone leaked the first episode of S5, J. It's all over the internet for people with bandwidth.

I don't know bout anyone else's f-list, but mine's pretty booming. :)

And the first scene is very very John/Teyla, which promptly segues into John&Ronon. It's an awesome episode for relational dynamics! The action and story is acceptable, but the relationships are WONDERFUL.

I think you'll like this one a lot, J. :)

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

Begs the question still....

Where??

[tielan]

It's up on YouTube (although it may not be there for long). But if you can wait, I can send you a download link in another 8 hours.

[tielan]

John and Ronon bonding/angsting was fantastic. That whole sequence of scenes just made me go melty inside. I love that they're buddies and guys and that they don't have to get complex about it.

The Duff vs. Oprah beer? I snarfled.

"Been a pleasure." And they lift their guns and plan to go out together.

I do wonder if the dinner/dining scene with Teyla was John's subconscious apologising to Teyla for not saying anything/not rescuing her. A kind of "I really cared, but I never said it, and I promised to come for you, but it looks like our time is up..." thing.

When I was watching this, I thought you would like this episode for the team and the John and the John&Ronon. :)

[therisingmoon.livejournal.com]

FOR REAL?! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE EPISODE NOW.

[tielan]

FOR REAL! You'll enjoy it for certain, hon. :)

[azure-horizon.livejournal.com]

*is speechless*

I can't... get over it.

The end scene too! Oh my word :D I am positively GRINNING and SQUEEEING like a wee girl :D :D :D

[tielan]

Must enjoy now! Because you just know that next week, they'll take it all away!!!

[azure-horizon.livejournal.com]

Lol I know; like with Doppelganger.

:(

Lets campaign to have Martin Gero write all of the episodes. ;)

[tielan]

Problem is, Gero's a leetle too fond of Rodney as the main course. I don't think I'd survive a season written by Gero, and neither would my laptop. I'd pitch it off my bedroom balcony long before we got to the mid-season cliffie.

[azure-horizon.livejournal.com]

Lol, Gero and Carl Binder...

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

Okay I'm not a wee girl but I'll scream and squee with the best of them if you tell me where to see it. *tries to wibble like so many of the femmes do to him... not sure if he's got it anywhere close to right though*

[tielan]

Did you find it on YouTube?

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

I DID!! *hugs Tielan til she eeps*

I watched it twice last night and am so jacked up right now!! Woohooooooooooo!! *does the endzone dance in his living room*

LOVE the baby's name! Although they messed up on her father's name or did I miss something there?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, you guys have got me squeeing and smiling and singing and dancing all over the place!! I cannot wait to see this!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!

[raksha38.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm squeeing and flailing just from reading your description! So cannot wait....

[tielan]

Hee! That's my icon you're using!

It was a very enjoyable episode to watch. Definitely one to watch again when it shows on TV!

[raksha38.livejournal.com]

That is indeed your icon! I liked them so much, I snurched two of them (and credited, of course).

I've been trying to be a good girl and wait for it to air on TV, but the more I hear about the ep (J/T! Teamy goodness!) the more I think I need to dl it so I don't scare anyone with my flailing and jumping about.

[chyti.livejournal.com]

i loved it and rachel is so tiny.

[tielan]

Heh. Compared to Jason, yeah, she's very petite! The scene where he's carrying her and the baby?

And I thought it was sweet that John said he would have carried her, but he was injured in his side.

[chyti.livejournal.com]

very sweet that he offered(and possessive) and yes the scene when ronon is carrying teyla. he picked her up as if she weighed nothing,i loved their relationship his is very protected of her.

the best moment for me was john and the baby bonding in the wraith cruiser. john was fussing like a proud baby daddy.

[tray-lord.livejournal.com]

Squee away. I'm feeling this near overwhelming urge to jump up and down and do a little happy dance and squee as loud as I can like the Sheyla fangirl I am. But. I. Can't. Because it's nearly 3am here and my family are all sleeping. So the internet squee is the only thing keeping me in control at the moment so I don't wake everybody up. SQUEE!

[tielan]

SQUEE!

Although the squee has faded a little from my moment of extreme glee on Saturday morning. Still... :D

*breathes carefully*

Now, back to writing my SGA Big Bang story!

[mswndrfl.livejournal.com]

I was in the same boat as you when I saw that scene, it made me quite the happy shipper.
I just had to squee. And I did too.
Though I had to keep it down becaue everyone else was asleep.
Ack!

[tielan]

See! The advantage of watching it on a Saturday morning when everyone in the household is up!

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

Okay, did anyone else notice that the baby tried to get his mouth around John's finger when John moved the blanket away from his chin? That was awesome..... being without children myself I find that whole "pregnancy" and "baby holding" thing as fascinating as Sheppard obviously does. I watched it twice and both times it stood out to me that the babe tried to suckle on John's finger.

[tielan]

Hehe. Believe me, in a fandom mostly made up of women, they noticed. :D

It was cuteness - and John's expression was so adorable, too.

[ltcoljsheppard.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I didnt think of that. *grins* I guess women don't miss those things too often huh. - JS
