SGA 5.01 - Search and Rescue - reaction post the second

[tielan]

It's still an extremely enjoyable episode.

My thoughts on yaoi the episode: let me show you them!

Episode reaction post | The Opening Scene | A Note On Teyla's Parentage

Second time all the way through was still awesome. I loved all the little friendship/team moments. I loved that Teyla isn't expendable. I loved almost everything.

I loved Lorne's sarcasm to Rodney. I loved Teyla's sarcasm to Rodney.

I loved the exchanges between John and Ronon being guys - and not just guys, but guys guys! They were AWESOME.

I loved that when John realises he's got almost all his team - people he trusts to back him up, to get everything together with him and to really want Teyla out - that's when he makes a break for freedom and the plan!

I loved Sam and Caldwell's exchange.

I loved John wanting to carry Teyla out like a Big Damn Hero and not being able to.

I loved Ronon carrying Teyla, being all *grr* protective.

I loved John trusting Teyla about Kanaan - but also asking for Kanaan's weapon first.

I even loved Rodney delivering the bubs, and Sam teasing him.

And yes, I loved the opening scene. It's in John's head, sure, but we know the one he's dreaming of having a romantic dinner with!

I'm still all squee about this episode - quite surprisingly so. I mean, there are plotholes and ifs and buts and wtfs and so forth, but as SGA goes, it's a good episode - not too much resemblance to an SG1 episode, everyone has lines and something to do, no one character particularly dominates to the point of being annoying, and it works for me in a low-key kind of "this is way better than some of the crud they've turned out in the last couple of years" way.

YMMV.

Definitely on the rewatchable list!

This episode actually made my Dad like Rodney. And that's a first.

Dad was even indignant than Teyla named the baby after John, instead of Rodney. I pointed out that all Rodney did was catch the kid.

This episode makes me feel like a hamster in a hamster ball -- all "wheeeeeeee!" and spinning around the room spaztastically!! *spins* And that was my, what, sixth time seeing it?

Wheeeeeeeeeee!!

[tielan]

And that was my, what, sixth time seeing it?

So...it was a good episode, huh? :D

And did you notice he didn't step in front of her to get it? He stays slightly behind her.

[tielan]

Oh, yes. He's backing Teyla against Kanaan, just in case the man plays them false. Loved it.

[madjm.livejournal.com]

Oh, the squee. Yeah, loved this one. Though I do really wonder what has become of Kanaan.

[tielan]

He'll probably turn up in 'The Seed' or 'Broken Ties'.

The important thing is that he's not as important to Teyla as John!! :D

Well, yeah, we already knew that! :)

my tinhat agrees. :D

[tielan]

Your tinhat is wise... ;)

Ditto. Ditto. Ditto to it all! :) It was very team-y. I especially loved John/Ronon :D

[tielan]

John and Ronon were adorable.

"Been a pleasure."
"Likewise."

And that's it. But it says so much. And Ronon adding to their deal all the time (he's been learning negotiation tactics off Teyla).

Isn't it lovely to have it back? I whine a lot about it, but I miss it when its gone.

I loved the episode! It was nice to finally see it without having YouTube yank it down while I was in the middle of watching!

I loved John trusting Teyla about Kanaan - but also asking for Kanaan's weapon first.

And while he's doing that, he's hovering right over Teyla and the baby. It seemed kind of possessive to me in a very subtle, non-obnoxious way.
