SGA: Duet

[thegrrrl2002]

I'm starting my love letter to Martin Gero right now. Because he rocks like a big rockin' thing. Maybe I'm blinded by the McKay love (and THIS is the McKay that I love), but I thought this ep was the most fabulous thing ever. DH nailed it, the man is simply briliant. There were scenes that could have gone over the top, but didn't, as opposed to last week's ep. I love that we got to see Kate again, I loved that everyone was involved--how great was it that every time something was being tested, or Rodney was in the infirmary, Weir, Sheppard, and Zelenka were hovering around in the background?

And, of course, the kiss. I'm not a Carson/McKay shipper, but I thought the kiss was great. Nicely done, and Rodney's reaction to it was funny and understated, thank goodness.

How sweet were McKay's scenes with Sheppard, though? Sheppard wanting to make sure "they were good". Awww. And that cute little moment at the end where Sheppard tells Cadman it would be his worse nightmare ever to be stuck in McKay's head--what a flirty little look he gave McKay during that. *g*

I even enjoyed McKay's "date".

But my mind is still buzzing over the hotness. I mean, McKay was red-hot in this ep. The unzipped shirt? Killer. Naked in bed? Sheer torture. Damn those sheets. And all those lovely rumpled in the infirmary closeups...

Oh, and there were some bits with Ronan, weren't there? I'm still liking him.

There's so much to say about this ep, (Zelenka! Zelenka! Zelenka!) but I just want to wallow in the pretty right now. And the sheer joy of having watched a great episode.

I didn't see it as mincing, actually. I was worried that aspect of it would be way overplayed, so maybe my interpretation is colored by my expectations. But I thought DH played it well. Mind you, I'm such a fangirl that I may not be totally objective. *g*

He was harsh with Zelenka, who was so wonderfully unaffected by it. I love how he treats McKay. Plus, we got to hear Zelenka speaking Czech again. Why the hell is that so damn sexy?

And it's entirely possible that Sheppard has a little crush on Ronan.

I think also you have to consider that if you as a woman were to try to control a man's body, it wouldn't feel anything at all like your own since a man's skeletal structure is so different. So if it looked like mincing, it's just tht it's really not a woman's body and not going to move the same way, and it's going to feel damned odd. Really, I don't think it was over the top at all.

And yes, John may have a crush on Ronon, but I think it's the 'oh, look at my shiny new toy/weapon. Now we can really kick Wraith ass'. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it anyway. *g*

If anything, she'd have been clumsy and off-balance rather than nancing about in his body because the center of gravity is off. I think it'd be more realistic if she/he were reeling drunkenly and bouncing into walls.

I love it when Zelenka comes out with the Czech. It's awesome. It's the long streams of it that really make it. I didn't look closely, what nationality was the blond haired scientist?

I think she was German, although I haven't rewatched the ep yet.

And Zelenka, oh god, he's such a joy to watch. And listen to. *g*

She was German.
