Screencaps! (SGA 3.08)

[thegrrrl2002]

Lots and lots of screencaps of

Oh my. Capping this ep was lots of fun. I made a few zillion of them.


First of all, I just wanted to say that it looks as if The Colonel has been hitting the donuts a bit too often. ::rubs the pretty Colonel belly::


Aw. Smiling, awkward Rodney with flowers. And a less-then-enthused sister. I just adore her expression here.


And here. When she looks out the window in the Daedalus and realizes she's Out In Space. I loved her reaction, because yeah, I'd be kind of freaked out, too.


Oh Rodney, look at you, in your cute little geek clothes!! ::dies::


There are a lot of Dancing Rodney Hands Of Exposition in this ep. ::is happy::


::giggles::


"Hi, I'm John Sheppard, Rodney's boyfriend? He may have mentioned me. Pleased to meet you."


"Meredith?"


Alt!Rodney!!! I love the heroic nature of his pose. It's hilarious. And so Not our Rodney.


John, you bad boy, teasing Rodney like that.


Poor Rodney!! But come on now, tell me you never teased the heck out of your sister when she was younger. She's just getting you back.


Again, body language. I love the difference between slouchy, relaxed Alt!Rodney and our more uptight version.


Alt!Rodney smiles a lot. It's pretty, yet somewhat unnerving.


Our Rodney is still the prettiest.


I love how this scene opens with Rod and Jeannie chatting, but we can see the reflection of our Rodney touching each other talking very closely with John.


"How can you not want to be with him? He's you!" ::dies::


And in a shoutout to "Trinity", we get a scene where John is getting into the transport, but this one is silly beyond belief because....


We get the goofy Shep head-tilt, and the peering...


Right up to the point when the door closes. Oh, John, you flirty big dork, you.


And suddenly grrrl finds golf extremely, inexplicably, HOT.


Yup.


HOT.


And John learns that Alt!John is a Mensa-chapter-attending geek.


Because of course, our John is so not a geek. Nope, not one bit.


Um....yeah. Much love for this scene, for so, so, so many reasons.


While capping this scene, I became completely fascinated by John's biceps. They're quite lovely, and are very busy during the scene.


Um...phallic, much?


Hee! I loved this little scene. It was very touching. And silly. And sweet.


Lots of Radek in this ep. Which is always a good thing.


She looks all kinds of pretty in this shot.


Oh John, you big smooshball, you. ::loves::


And he never tells Rodney why he's there. I wonder if Rodney ever learns that Jeannie saw the clip.


Fabulous moment.


Okay, raise your hand if you got all teary-eyed, too. I certainly did.


::sniffs::


And I love how Rodney is smiling when he walks away. It's so genuine and sweet. ::melts::


Is Rodney still not getting the team emails?


Best Ending to An Episode, EVER. ::feels the love::

Man, I loved this ep.

your comments are as wonderful as the caps. thank you for posting these!

*hugs*

ps. the toothbrush cleaning utterly cracks me up. er, not that i haven't done the same with my horse's saddle and bridle or anything like that...

[rivier.livejournal.com]

::raises hand:: Yes I did. And every time since, damn it. I'm still wanting to have this ep's babies liekwhoa!

Tell me something: am I going mad, or is that a box of tissues on the side table on the far side of John's bed? Could just be a book, but um, it looks an awful lot like tissues to me. And tissues=mopping up after... er, um, you know.

And why does he need TWO GLASSES on his water-carafe tray, hmmm?

SO MUCH LOVE!

[pollitt.livejournal.com]

*glomps your caps*

Awesome comments, too. The hugging scene at the end totally had me teary. And I *love* the reflection of John and Rodney talking!

The video on the laptop still makes me feel all warm and squishy.

[logovo.livejournal.com]

And still, the body language for Rodney is perfect in that last cap. He loves to be there with the team, but he is still insecure Rodney.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome, sweetie!!

The toothbrush thing was pretty funny. I know nothing about the care and cleaning of golf clubs, but even I'm thinking that's a bit overboard.

How much dirt is there on Atlantis, anyway? *g*

And of course you haven't done that with a bridle or saddle or anything. Uh huh. *g*

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I'd say it's a box of tissues. And I'm thinking they go through them pretty damn quickly.

The water carafe tray is very funny for some reason. Kinda prissy, you know? John would insist on matching glasses, too.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I totally giggled at the reflection of them talking. *g*

And this entire ep made me feel warm and squishy, but yeah, the vid thing was excellent. Oh John. So. Much. Love!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Aw, you're so right! Still tense and insecure. Sweet!

[niennah.livejournal.com]

You picked the perfect caps to show how warm and lovely an episode this was! And you're right, best ever ending.

And I still don't know anyone who didn't tear up during that scene! I know I did! In fact, I may have cried, it was just so sweet.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oh these caps... and your comments to go with them... *flails helplessly*

Rod only made me love Rodney more (and get a bit defensive somehow? As in: Nonononnono! Cool ain't better! I love the awkward and slumping and nervous handfumbling and and... Is that very weird?)

And Jeanie is so much a woman of flesh and blood; strong and passionate and intelligent and uhm... great butt, yum[/shallow]

And that cap you made with the '...still the prettiest' remark: so so true. Great moment to cap.

Thanks for these *saves them all*

[rivier.livejournal.com]

HEE! I just think, if I was Stage Manager for the set dressing there, and I wanted to flag up John's rampant single het man status, then two-glass carafe sets and a handy box of tissues right on the bedstead would, well, not be my first choices. Or my second.

Also, I perversely like the way he has the luxury of a bedside light for reading, and there tow feet away - instead of shifting the lamp over to the desk when he needs it, there's another lamp. Ooh, almost as if that room is used to having one person on the bed reading, while the other's sitting at the desk playing with the laptop! Yeah I know, over-reaching, but I don't care. It's leurrrrrrve, maaan!

And I can now totally see them both squashed up on the bed, with that laptop turned round half a turn, watching DVDs in nice cozy proximity. Sigh.

[tex.livejournal.com]

The ending? I've seen it three times so far and it has yet to lose any of the sweetness. I've cried every time!

These are gorgeous caps. And that scene with John in the elevator? Look how soft Rodney's hair looks. Guh.

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

er, i was just removing 7.3 mill-ounces of dust from the stirrup keepers on the saddle. *veg*

although cleaning tack can be very soothing and meditative. i'm sure that john cleans stuff all the time while he listens to rodney for that same reason. ;)

as for dirt on atlantis....um, 10,000 years worth of dust. i wonder which team member gets to clean up?

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

::RAISES HAND::

Also, guh.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

10,000 years worth of dust

LOL! Hadn't thought of that. But they were outside. Maybe he was cleaning out the salt? I'm sure they were getting a bit of ocean spray there.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

*g* Not the most manly room in the world, is it? I'm half expecting to see flowers in it next time.

And it's definitely a two-person room. I also noted the handy bed-side set of drawers, for stashing all kinds of important supplies in.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

It was such a warm episode, wasn't it? So fabulous.

I love the warm yellow lights in that scene with the hug, too. It just added to the softness of it. Very nicely done.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I like how wierd "Rod" seemed. He quickly became annoying and unsettling to watch, even though he looked lovely in that leather jacket.

Jeannie is very gorgeous. And very Rodney-like, which is totally endearing.

glad you enjoyed the caps!

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I keep watching the ending, too. Especially since charlidos pointed out that you can hear John whisper "here he comes" when Rodney sees them in the mess (after all the laughing). It makes the scene even sweeter. They set it all up just for Rodney.

::loves::

Huh, and Rodney's hair does look very soft and touchable in the transporter scene, doesn't it? Mmmm...

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

::nods::

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

yes to cleaning out the salt. and just keeping busy enough to keep his brain ticking over as he processes what rodney's saying/feeling/thinking.

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

They're really in the groove when it comes to each other, aren't they? *g*

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you for the caps (and the commentary). I've got some lovely new icons now. *g*

[amireal.livejournal.com]

I got it from a golfer that yes, you do often use a toothbrush. Though considering that club has never seen real terrain... that was a bit much, yes.

[feather-autant.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* I got seriously sniffy! How sweet was that hugging? *melts*

Ya know, I've been studying your caps, and thank you so much for that! And I've been wondering. . . what happened to John's bed spread/comforter/blanket? That looks like a bare sheet to me. Maybe it's hanging outside to air out because it got something on it? Maybe it's spread on the floor because they sometimes like to have more room than the single bed provides? *shrugs* I dunno. *g*
