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.

Martin Gero is fabulous. He needs to write every episode. Just lock him in a room, slide food in under the door, and don't let him out until he's done. *g*

I liked the Teyla/Ronan scenes, too. It was nice to be reminded again that she's not from earth. I really wish they'd explore her alien-ness some more.

Martin Gero has certainly written the best episodes of the series, that's for sure.

They do a fairly good job of reminding us that she's alien, but yeah...it would be nice to see that explored in more depth. I'm hoping that with another "alien" joining the team we'll get to see more of that for both of them.
