SGA 3.04: Sateda

[thegrrrl2002]

Wow. I thought this ep would be a wash, just a big action adventure shoot'em up type thing. Instead it was all about the great big team love. So beautiful! And Ronon, with the fighting and the pain and hurt and looking really, really good.


It starts off on a surprising note. No, not the perfect ass! ::sobs::


I love Rodney's "that did not just happen" reaction. Because yeah, that would totally be me!


I know it's a blurry shot, but--Aw!! John to the rescue! How sweet is that?


And then things don't go well for the rest of the team.


John, in his prettily unconscious pose. How many eps does this make? Not that I'm complaining. I like John sprawled out on the ground.


Ronon's kind of pissed, huh?


Meanwhile, John is pretty.


And Rodney can't remember where his left his pretty boyfriend with the messy hair.


Ronon takes matters into his own hands. I liked this, and didn't expect it at all.


I also liked the way the entire ep was filmed, a little grittier than usual, with what looks like hand-held camera, and then lots of big ole crane shots.


And I loved the urban setting. It makes a great change from the typical Vancouver woodsy stuff. A very stark look, even back in the village, in the beginning. Oh yeah, and Ronon? Pretty.


C'mon, tell me you didn't laugh out loud when you saw Devo!Wraith.



Yes, Rodney, it's all up to you. Because you're so damn cute.


The leather gauntlets, while looking silly in the promo shots, definitely work for me here.


And yet, despite all the Action and Adventure, there's time for a cute John/Rodney moment. (I need a high res file of this ep, I really do). Who is convinced they kissed before heading up to the briefing room?


John makes a very cute bad joke.


And Rodney loves him for it.


I know it's blurry, but Ronon is just so cool. I wonder how much of these kind of shots are JM and how many are his stunt double.


John! You had your hands on your hips, didn't you?! Admit it!!!


Oooh, yeah. Taking the armor from his dead buddies. I love the flashback scenes. They were really well done, although the actress who played his wife/girlfriend didn't exactly grab me.


Again, JM? I'm thinking it's him. He's incredibly graceful.


The visuals in this ep are just awesome.


More awesome visuals - Teyla's pretty cleavage. She's looking lovely here.


OMG now what do I do???


Yes, Teyla, you are the most adult out of all of them. Scary, isn't it? I also want to mention how much I love Teyla's lack of makeup (at least it looks that way). She looks great, and very real.


C'mon, all together now: Oh, John.


::giggles:: At first I thought they were smiley faces, but now I'm thinking flowers? Or lemons? A present from his boyfriend, maybe? (as if this ep wasn't enough fun already!)


Random black teeshirt shot. Yum.


Random Ronon+Gun shot. Guh.


Fabulous moment here. I love John's expression. Not crazy about the wacky camera angle, though.


Need I mention how fabulous it is that everyone came along to rescue Ronon? And how hot they all looked doing it?



And then they fight over going out to help! So. Fabulous.


Hee. I'm proud of this cap.


Oh, John. Yes, you killed a whole lot of wraith, okay?


Don't get sulky just because Teyla killed more than you.


Best hug ever.


John wants a hug, too.


John's 'who's flying the jumper' glare of affection.

So, to sum it all up - Ronon: kickass warrior with a marshmallow filling; Rodney: Arrow in his ASS; Carson: Would rather shoot wraith than have Rodney as a patient; John: Big Hero who never really gets to do anything heroic; and Teyla: Coolest, baddest ass of them all. And looks fabulous while kicking ass.


As usual, feel free to download the zip file of about 400 caps here and here.

The love for this episode is boundless. I agree with the chick playing Ronon's wife, maybe she's related to someone high up because there was no chemistry at all.

The shorts do look like citrus slices. Brilliant joke!

This whole ep is a fast breeding bunny farm. Every cap is a fic waiting to be written.

Mmmm, thank you for posting these. I love your comments.

You're very welcome! Thank you! *g*

This show just feeds the fanfic, doesn't it? It makes me so very happy.
