thegrrrl2002I rewatched this ep and man, the last ten minutes are just amazing. Such intensity between John and Rodney--Rodney willing to sacrifice himself for Jeannie, and John not willing to consider it for a moment. We get to see John all his vulnerable glory. He may not be able to talk about his feelings, but hey, everything is right there on his face for the world to see.
But first of all, I adore Jeannie. I love when she and Rodney are on screen together. Especially with the matching poses.
Lovely.
Also very lovely--paperwork!John. He shouldn't look so hot surrounded by papers, but he does.
On to the meaty stuff:
John points out that the NID is not going to provide a human for the wraith to feed on.
Which Rodney of course understands, and says it has to be him. He has to save his sister.
Which of course is unacceptable to John. (I couldn't bear to resize this pic, John is just so stunning.)
I love when they stare into each other's eyes.
Oh, Rodney.
John's not going to let it happen. "You're an invaluable member of my team and you report directly to me."
"Really? You want to talk about chain of command right now?" (Because it never came up during all the hot sex, you know?)
And this is John, realizing what he has to do to save both Rodney and Jeannie:
So hurty.
And how fabulous is John when he's talking to Wallace, and making with the pictures of Jeanie's family?
John: "She's going to die, just like Sharon.
Wallace: "I'm so sorry."
John: "I'm sure you are."
That "I'm sure you are" just gives me chills. Along with "Now McKay's blaming himself, but I know better. You know better."
Rodney discovers what has happened.
"I was showing Wallace the labs. The Wraith got the upper hand. That's what the report's going to say." Oh, John. Could you be any more fierce when it comes to protecting your family?
As if that wasn't enough, we get a John and Rodney tag to the ep:
How adorable is John's "Hey, look who's back. How was the family?"
Rodney is amazed that John talked Wallace into sacrificing himself.
John says, "I presented a situation. He volunteered." Oh, John.
And then they go off together. With the totally sweet "Say, you and I are about even when it comes to looks, right?" exchange.
Yes, Rodney, you are. ::hearts::
