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 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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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. :)
