OMG, I love this ep with the heat of a zillion
High points for me:
1. Kate Hewlett. She's marvelous. Talented, pretty, and as charming as her brother. She was fabulous in the role.
2. Meredith. It should have been a cheap laugh, but for some reason, it tickled me to death. I loved that it was what she called him all the time, not just as a joke.
3. John's reaction to "Meredith".
4. John's everything. The golfing, his showing Jeannie the clip from "Letters" - aw! The fact that he was pumping her for stories about Rodney as a child. So much love!
5. Rodney. Our Rodney. So awkward with Jeannie in the beginning. So upset with everyone's love of "Rod".
6. Science!! Lots of Science!! Big glowy balls of science! With added Zelenka!
7. Rod!! Rod!! Leather! Everyone Loves Rod!
8. AU John: Mr. Mensa Club Know-it-all. Heee! It was his idea to travel to the other universe. Because he's smmmmmart!!
9. Rod surviving his trip back (at least, we're pretty sure he did.) Thank you for not breaking my heart, Mr. Gero.
10. No More ZPM!!! OMG!
Extra bonus points for continuity. References to the Arctus project from "Trinity"! Vid clip from "Letters"!
Double extra bonus points for, um, everything else. Like yanking my heart out and returning it tied up with a nice little bow on top. All the lovely John/Rodney moments made me very happy. John pacing in Rodney's room while John just chilled out and cleaned his clubs. SWEET.
The whole ep--just fabulous. I'm feeling the Team Love.
And SG1 gets Honorable Mention, for having Ben Browder naked and handcuffed to a bed. And the hug at the end.
Squeeeee!!!!

But he did.

Date: 2006-09-09 04:44 am (UTC)John and Rod just played golf.
John was adorable when he called Rodney "Meredith" and climbed into the transporter.
Rod is so Canadian.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 04:38 am (UTC)I actually felt really, really badly for Rodney when everyone was making fun of him, but the lovely team stuff at the end--where they're making fun of Teyla!--made up for it. And Rodney was in John's room! And John showed Jean the LfP vid! The love was freaking palpable.
I want our Rodney to have a leather jacket though, damnit! Do you suppose it's because that in the AU, 'Rod' is the team lead, because Shep is actually more of a geek?
And yes, yes, Mitchell handcuffed to a bed was a very fine moment. I howled when his team found him.
But wow, SGA--this is what I remember from Season one. Awesome.

Date: 2006-09-09 04:42 am (UTC)The love is most definintely palpable.
And I'm sure John asked for baby pics of Rodney. *g*
I so want our Rodney to be in leather, too. Mmmmm....

Date: 2006-09-09 05:48 am (UTC)And, strangely enough, I think my favorite moment of Mrs. Miller was the look on Jeannie's face when they're standing next to Hermoid. Priceless.
Now, of course, I'd love to see Mensa!John and Rodney meet. It'd be fun or it'd be painful - but since it has the potential to freak the hell out of John, I'm all for it.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 02:06 pm (UTC)I loved that moment with Hermiod, too. Jeannie had the perfect expression on her face. I loved seeing her reaction to the whole thing. So fabulous!
And I'll be making caps of that ep SG1. *g* Will post.

Damned
Good!
I loved it, from start to finish. Kate was amazing, wasn't she? And I loved the differences between Rodney and Rod! I did notice that Rod seems to use some of John's hair product. Probably grabbed some to spike his hair after a long night of. . . Mensa meetings. Yeah, that's it. *g*
Love the golf, and loved even more that Rodney was in John's room after, all comfortable and bitchy. It's almost like he belongs there, isn't it? *beams*
The team love at the end made me melt, and I'm very glad there was some healing between Rodney and Jeanie.
I'm a very happy fangirl!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 02:07 pm (UTC)Yay!!!
Rodney looked like he belonged in John's room, didn't he? *g*
It's all about the happy. So beautiful!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 10:16 am (UTC)I cried too, like a big baby. And made stupid squeaky noises from the very start to the finish. I have a huge melty heart full of love for our adorable little show right now. LOVE OFF THE SCALE!

And by cam's lack of pants. It's a nice trend. Woo!

Date: 2006-09-09 02:33 pm (UTC)teal'c's just impressive all the way around.
i love how bb portrays cameron in those moments.

Date: 2006-09-09 03:29 pm (UTC)#8 is still cracking me up. And our John's "up all night[or late, whichever] partying?" question killed me dead. Oh, he so wanted his parallel self to be cooler than he is, but instead got one that is even geekier. Hee!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-10 06:26 pm (UTC)And John's a geek in every universe, isn't he? ::loves::

7. Rod!! Rod!! Leather! Everyone Loves Rod!
And we so wanted to see Rod help John with the swing! His hands on Rods hips... he he
And yes we LOVE the team love in this ep too! ;D

no subject
Date: 2006-09-09 06:21 pm (UTC)Yes! That was fabulous, wasn't it?
As for everything else, I'm just going to join you in the squeeeee!!
