So nobody has been talking about last night's new episode of Atlantis, and I have to ask... WHY?!?! That was an awesome episode worthy of much much discussion. So if nobody else will talk about it, I will. :P
VERY SPOILERY
Ronon. OMG Ronon. I just want to grab him, snuggle him to my chest, and tell him everything will be okay.
I cried for Ronon. Mostly when he was in the hospital, remembering. But I cried for Ronon. I so rarely cry at Atlantis (I cried for Ford too, and when Peter died, oddly enough). Sure it leaves me on the edge of my seat or has me rolling on the floor in laughter. But last night it made me cry. For Ronon, for the man he used to be, for the man he is now, for all he lost, all he gained, all he had to go through, all the (undeserved) guilt he has to live with. We got such insight into his character last night. What Sateda USED to be like. Where he came from. What life was like before the Wraith made him a runner, made him their sport. Hell, we got a better understanding of what life was like for him AFTER the Wraith made him their toy.
There were some good non-Ronon scenes. The scene between Teyla and John in the mess of the Daedelus was particularly touching. John struggling to say he loves them all, they're his family, Teyla filling in the words John couldn't say. I particularly liked as he got up to leave the awkward conversation and Teyla calls after him "Thank you-- for all the things you meant to say." She knows, she gets it, and I love her for it.
I'm not sure the scene with Carson and Rodney fighting over who got to go out and help kill Wraith was overly appropriate... maybe it was played up as too funny. It just sat wrong with me in a very serious episode.
I did like Rodney getting shot in the ass... and the morphine induced blabber he spewed later. Hehe "Glutious maximus... hey, that's my ASS!"
And that is all.
