SGA Kindred I

[unamaga]

I have to say I'm actually kind of conflicted about this episode. I liked it mostly.

Don't get me wrong. Bringing Michael back was a wowzer of a move and I never for one second expected it, but the way they gave us all the info was kind of wonky. The exposition seemed far clunkier than usual, and the pace was kind of...stuttered? I guess? I don't know, it just seemed like this episode lacked the clumsy, endearing grace that usually has me overlooking plot problems and focusing on the sheer squee of it all. Knowing what the entire episode was building up to didn't help much, of course. WAY TO GO, SCI FI.

That said, things which were yay!

• LORNE. Lorne Lorne Lorne LORNE! I sort of want to imagine him now as having a distant crush on Teyla and being all sensitive and babble-y towards her in a way that she totally doesn't even notice. Poor thing. John must have tore him a new one when he came back without her. :O
  
  
• How many times did John drawl Rawwdneee this episode, exactly? Because, god, his voice was so growly and fh;aogjakmgaf. *fans self*
  
  
• TODD. TODD. I want Todd to be here for always. He's so snarky and he has so much John in him! Who wrote that fic way back after common ground where the wraith started, like, wanting to play football because he'd absorbed some of John's personality? Was that eleveninches? Probably, because it was hilarious.
  
  
• Oh man, how many times did I want to hug Teyla in this episode (despite the fact that she can break my arms just by looking at them)? Answer: so many. Doing that to her people, her best friend since childhood? Oh, Teyla. Let Lorne enfold you in his manly arms. :(
  
  
• Uh, her boobs were really amazing, though, wow. Just thought I should throw that out there.
  
  
• Rodney, you giant ball of ADORABLE. I think I actually squealed out loud when you turned and covered your ears so John could shoot the door. And the three of them sitting at that table, Ronon and John practically hunched into Rodney's personal space to watch him eat? OH BOYS. There is no telling what you'll get up to without your Teyla to keep you in line. ♥

ETA: Aaaahahaha.

This week was ALOT of set-up. Hopefully next week will be the pay-off. Also, I love the evolution Michael's taken with his more-human self.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

It's an interesting twist, for sure. But I'm sincerely hoping they don't off the wraith as a big bad because of it. :\

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

I told you, Lorne totally wants to paint Teyla nude a la that scene in Titanic.

they are totally my new 'ship - PICTURE IT. He could take her home to San Fran to visit the fam and she'd fit right in. OMG. What if Lorne's parents are hippies and his real name is like, SUNSHINE????

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

AHAHA!! And, and, his father keeps calling him 'sun' but Teyla thinks it's 'son' and there are ALL KINDS of mix ups until finally his mother just laughs and says, "Oh, no, dear, that's his name. Sunshine, could you pass the asparagus please?"

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

YES. And like, he grew up in a commune or something and his parents are organic farmers and his mother weaves and her and Teyla just totally hit it off.

And then there is naked painting.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

You're really stuck on the naked painting, aren't you?

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

A bit. Is it that obvious?

I think partially because while Teyla is ALWAYS smoking, right now? With her being all round and full and pregnant? She's fucking downright gorgeous - and that should be IMMORTALIZED.

By none other than Evan 'SUNSHINE' Lorne.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Can you imagine his little face when he asks her to pose for him? Half shy and half hopeful and all ADORABLE?

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

And completely EARNEST. He'd probably blush a bit, too. And she'd just smile and incline her head in that way she has because nudity is totally no big thing to her.

PLUS IT'S LORNE.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

EEE! And she'd be all unselfconscious and regal and he'd just fall APART for her.

Um. I may have just jumped ahead.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

HAHA NO. That's QUITE ALRIGHT. TELL ME MORE ABOUT HIM FALLING APART.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Like. You know he'd be sort of flushed and he'd have to get out a few quick, jerky sketches first so his hands could learn how not to stutter over the supple curve of Teyla's breast.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

*props chin in her hand*

TELL ME MOAR PLZ.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

And Teyla is all calm and collected and - secretly - luxuriating in the way his eyes linger on parts of her, the way he has to look down at his fingers so often to combat the quickening of his breath.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[misskatieleigh.livejournal.com]

*meep*


GO WRITE THIS NOW PLZ


I HAVE NO TEYLA ICON. *goes to rectify*

[incidental-fire.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, yes! All of the above! Particularly Teyla's breasts. They're always lovely, but they were *particularly* amazing tonight. And I couldn't help but giggle a bit every time she said "my people." Which she said a *lot*. I felt kinda bad for laughing, but this episode really was all about Teyla's people. Both kinds.

Oh, and I think the fic you're looking for is People are people (except when they're Wraith) (http://eleveninches.livejournal.com/265792.html), which is indeed by eleveninches.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha, Teyla's people. They're so...outgoing.

*points* YES! That story! Oh, man, I love that story.

[colonel-taisa.livejournal.com]

LORNE! AND HIS DIMPLES! THE DIMPLES WERE BACK!

And um yeah.. the rest of the episode was pretty cool too XD

*waits impatiently for next week*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

THE DIMPLES! I actually gurgled in delight when he just came up behind that guy and was all COMPETENT and hotass omg.

[misskatieleigh.livejournal.com]

LORNE! and Rodney with his hair all sticky-up (because John was totally running his fingers through it nervously on the jumper ride to the planet while Rodney promised that he didn't really have a crush on Todd, it's more of just a healthy respect of his intellect, blah blah blah while Ronon rolls his eyes at them and sharpens his knives)

And yes, the girls were definitely on display. That's one hell of a push-up bra, sista!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

HAHA!! Ronon rolling his eyes and sharpening his knives is one of my favorite mental images. I take it out on cold winter days when people are annoying me. It's very satisfying.

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

Yes, to all.









Specially the Wraith sandwich.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

it's peanut butter jelleh time, peanut butter jelleh time!

[morgaine22.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more about the clunky feel of the pacing. It was like, oh here's our favorite frenemy Todd! And then, BUT WAIT, look it's Michael and, oh hey, there's Carson...? I love all three (recurring characters are WIN) but it was just weird.

You know what I wish, though? I wish Michael tricked Teyla somehow (psychic illusion?) and it's HIS BABY she's carrying! OMG! These are the Days of Our Lives...

Point #2: BOOBS. (Baby boobs? She already had her baby, right?)

The boys ("Maybe I'll pick you something up while we're there." "Really?" "No.") are the wind beneath my wings.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

What really got me was how they introduced the "illness". It was so...OBVIOUS and haphazard. :\ BUT MICHAEL! I hope, hope hope they do something with Michael and the baby because WOW could Rachel play that kind of tortured Teyla so well.

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

I actually didn't know what was happening, because being at school in the middle of Ohio with one TV for my whole dorm (probably about 100 people) means I never watch TV on actual TV, which means I never see stupid episode-ruining promos. So I was all "What Michael what?" and then "WHAT CARSON WHAT!?" I mean, seriously. SHOW WHY ARE YOU MADE OF CRACKY AWESOME?

Also, Rachel's boobs are FANTASTIC-- and they're just so OUT THERE, like, every episode. WIN.

[crazyace86.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen it yet-- I'm workin' on that right now-- but I already kind of knew what was going to happen. (I am a spoiler hound.) Honestly, I'm more excited about Todd and Michael than I was about Carson. In fact, I'm kind of wary of that; I adored Carson and finally got used to him being gone. I've even grown to like Keller. And now, it almost hurts to have him back again.

Todd! Rodney! John! Crack OT3! :D

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I totally hear you on the pacing issues this week! I felt like I was getting jerked around by a chain, it just wasn't comfortable. It also felt like there were three different storylines going on, and even though they all ended up being connected through Michael, it still felt very haphazard.

Also - omgwtfbbq CARSON? o.O

But Teyla's boobs made the whole thing. *sage nod*

ALSO LORNE! LOOOOOOOOOORNE! HE IS SO PRECIOUS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO *DO* WITH MYSELF :D :D :D

[likeaglass.livejournal.com]

LORNE, yes, omg. And now he has to manfully try to ignore Teyla's truly awesome rack, which. good luck with that, cause WOW.

Also, Todd! and Michael! I think Michael wishes he were Teyla's babydady, too. He and Lorne should get in a bitchfight to decide who gets to be the stepdaddy.

(and, uh. This took awhile, since my photoshop skills are sadly lacking, but here's a joe!mouth icon, if you want it:

)

In conclusion: BOOBS.
