Ok, here's where I get flamed like a big flamey thing, but, I say Sheppard is so in love with Ronon. Ronon must have given him hot hot mansmex or something to make him act all googly around him like that. He's reminding me of the way O'Neill was around Teal'c when they first met. Back when SG-1 was still SG-1, I was a T/J shipper, so, I'm feeling the alien love tonight.
Grubby is a good look for Carson. Also, is he learning to be more assertive? Maybe he's taking lessons from Zelenka. (Much, much love for my little Z'linky. LOVE LOVE LOVE.)
Ok, on to McKay. The mincing is over the top. I don't mince that much even when my mom drags me up, shoves a purse in my hand, and makes me go to church with the fam on Christmas. I mean, are women *supposed* to walk like that? (If so, that explains a lot about my life...) I know it's a visual cue to let you know who's in control, but please. Also, screaming at a guy while he's trying to fix your MUTUAL problem is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!!! If you're stranded in the desert with no water and only a mechanic and a box of tools to fix your Land Rover, are you going to sit there and knock the wrench out of his hand every time he goes to work? NO! You're going to sit back and count buzzards and give him his space! Fortunately, they had the Emergency Backup Brain (huggles Z'linky) to fix things because McKay couldn't work with Cadman or whoever she is nattering away at him in his head. And why would she approach Carson as McKay, making him believe that she's McKay, and then FLIRT with him???? That makes absolutely no damn sense at all.
I DID like McKay's awkwardness during the dinner, and with women in general. In this episode, I felt like we got the old McKay back- funny, but without being a damn stooge, and yes, slightly dark at times. That's how I like him.
The kiss? Anticlimactic, and not good slash material at all (although I'm sure I'll see my share of OMGWUB sigs, avatars and wallpapers coming soon to a hinternet near you.) McKay's reaction was appropriate. I almost half-expected girly screaming or something, was much happy about the lack of hysterics.
Overall, this ep was good. So much better than "Runner" for sure, and I have more fodder for my McKay/Zelenka obsession, not to mention some Ronon/John bits floating around in my head here and there.
