thegrrrl2002The Defiant One
Oh yeah. This ep originally aired almost a year ago (Jan 28, 2005) and the slashy lights were burning bright. The entire ep, from start to finish, was all about the big gay love. The ending, with Rodney rushing off to John's rescue, was a thing of beauty, but their bickering in the opening scenes is my favorite. Just what did John mean by "Now I know why parents shouldn't teach their kids to drive"?
Then comes the mad love of: Before I Sleep
The one where they stand in each other's personal space...
And talk about size.
The Brotherhood
How come the eps where they're supposed to be interested in other women are the slashiest ones ever?
Because no woman can come between this. I mean, look at Rodney's eyes. ::sighs:: It's all just too lovely for words. The Mensa thing was just the icing on the cake. And one of the cutest Rodney moments ever.
The Gift
Even in episodes like "The Gift", where both characters are more or less in the background, there are still these little moments of awareness between them.
Same with Siege I
And the angstfest of Siege II, (which left me traumatized for months...)
"So long, Rodney"? That line, spoken so softly that Rodney can't hear it, just kills me.
As does Rodney's expression, when he realizes what's going on.
Siege III
An entirely action-filled ep, yet we get the utterly gratuitous balcony scene of love. Just take that extra step and hold hands, okay? You're really not fooling anyone anymore.
The Intruder
That yearning gaze, once again. Or is it his "my boyfriends the smartest boyfriend ever gaze"?
A moment of peril, and all they can do is stare into each other's eyes.
Condemned
I can't believe they're being so flirty in front of everyone.
Trinity
Ah, yes, Trinity. The episode where we see John do his "you're so cute I could kiss you right now" laugh.
The one where they exchange loving gazes in puddlejumpers...(okay, so Zelenka is getting in on the loving gaze action a bit there too.)
And then it goes all to hell. My favorite bit was here, back on the planet, when John bangs on Rodney's computer to get his attention. It's a very unJohn-like move, to be that physical. And it's really hot when he yells.
When the dust settles, John's pissed, but you know he's can't stay angry. He basically says as much.
Instinct
The episode with the head-thwap of love.
Aurora
Oh how I loved this ep. The one where John's face lights up...
And they look all pretty in blue. Rakish! Rodney describes John's hair as rakish. So. Not. Straight.
And their little exchange near the end, where John has to explain why the hot chick knows about Atlantis, is one of my favorites.
And finally, we come to The Lost Boys
Rodney angsting in the field of green.
John being so sweet and comforting! Aw! Touchies!
Oooh, the eye contact as Rodney's being taken from John. Nice.
And that's it, just a few (!) of my favorite moments of 2005. Come on, I know I must have left some out, share your favorite moments, too!
