A few thoughts on Travelers

[thegrrrl2002]

I really had pretty low expectations going into this ep, so I was surprised to find myself enjoying it. I thought JF had some decent chemistry with the Traveler chick (Larrin?) as opposed to every other alien space woman he's been paired up with. I ended up kind of liking her. She was an ass most of the time and not particularly sympathetic. A big improvement over flowy ascended or almost-ascended women. Or maybe I just get a kick out of John Sheppard being kissed and then stunned. Probably what it felt like the first time he kissed Rodney. *g*

Speaking of which, I enjoyed the ep being bookended with pissy!Rodney. That was kind of fun.

The good stuff:
John eating an apple in the puddlejumper.
Throwpillows.
John sprawling on the prison bed in a sprawly John kind of way.
John stealing the warship. Go John!
John fixing the weapons chair thingy. I like smart John.
Morse code!
John bluffing the wraith with the empty gun.
The team searching for John.
The funny little face John made when he said his people will come looking for him. He's still kind of sulky about the whole time-dilation incident.
The entire final scene. Ronon waving around meat on a fork, John digging into his food, Rodney being delightfully pissy. And Teyla rolling her eyes.

The not-so-good:
The heavy-handed Romantic Comedy Moments. I know, I know, Stargate isn't known for being subtle, but still, that hiding-in-the-closet bit was over the top, even by their standards.

So, all in all, kind of fun, and John was very pretty. Now, can we get back to the team episodes?
