1. DH's eyelashes are more devastating than ever.

2. JF's expressions are more devastating than ever.

That's about as far as my thought processes have gotten. *g*

It was a cute episode. I loved the opening, the four of them tramping through the forest, and Rodney's "Yes, remarkably door-like". And then "MALP on a stick". I loved the panic once Sheppard disappeared--there was a lovely urgency here that was totally missing from "The Hive". Rodney on a tear, trying to figure out how to rescue John, blaming himself for not catching time dilation, and acknowledging the probe was Zelenka's idea--aww! He was just hot like a sexy hot thing with the snark and the t-shirt and scowls and the 'OMG, my boyfriend's missing' angst.

And poor John, stuck in the land of The Most Boring and Annoying People Ever. Who undress him without asking permission. (I'm starting to think John has Issues). Who make him *meditate*. I can just hear him afterward, whining to Rodney that he had to just sit there, doing nothing, and think. And sit still.

He was so dorky and adorable. I think I liked the part in the cave the best, though, when he was sulkily waiting for Rodney to rescue him. His slightly pissy little monologues. He gets so cranky when he's not being rescued. Okay, and I liked the part where his shirt rode up and we saw BELLY!

Yes, I'm that shallow.

Think he's gonna to confess to Rodney that he slept with Boring Almost Ascended chick? (God, Rodney, I was so bored, I had to do *something*).

And this ep has to have had the most anti-climax climax of all time. They just stand around in a circle and think at the ID monster, and it goes away? WTF? If it wasn't for the fact that I was so happy to see Weir and Beckett and everyone go through that portal to rescue John, I would have banged my head on the computer monitor.

And then they ascend. And Rodney gets to be bitchy.

I'm still waiting for someone to acknowledge that this whole ascension thing is one big load of hooey. Sure, I get the appeal of immortality, but what is the fun of existing as pure energy? You don't get to have sex. You don't get to eat. You don't get to wake up on a cold morning warm and snug under the covers, with a cat on your lap and your husband snuggling up to you after bringing you a cup of coffee. You just float around and be all superior and annoying. I so don't get it.

Well, I guess those thoughts weren't so brief, were they?

To sum up: John is pretty. Rodney is hot. Teh end.
