SGA, 3x17, "Sunday": an addendum.

[mrsronweasley]

1) I think what shocked me the most about John's comment (you know that of which I speak) was the fact that, um, HE ACTUALLY SAID THAT. And what's amazing about THAT is the fact that I was honestly expecting the SGA writers to go the way of everybody else in this TV world and not acknowledge either that

a) homosexuality/bisexuality exists as a part of this world at ALL, and

b) that it might even exist on their show.

'Cause, let's face it: this isn't quite England. We're not quite there yet.

Like...it's hard to explain, but basically, whenever I watch a TV show and look at all the relationships shown, all I can think is that not all the major food groups are represented. Yes, there are exceptions - but they are there mostly from the start. (And I am not talking about Joss Whedon, for he is Special Like Turnbull and we love him dearly.) I can only think of a handful, honestly, including the GOD AWFUL "Sherman's March" that never actually aired (oh, Joe).

So, like, I don't know! I was surprised. Maybe I underestimate people. Who knows.

Also? John is military. He is damn lucky Ronon's not from Earth. JUST SAYIN'.

2) Was he married? Did we... oh my God... did we get Sheppard BACK STORY? Well, no crap! Huh.

And I'm pretty sure that katrin summed it up best when she said:

- So are we ever going to hear about John's marriage, and how it failed because he's a big giant flaming queer?

...YEAH.

(Also, they touched each other's asses? And, like, wow, John, whose pants are YOU trying to get into? And I mean that literally.)

3) Okay, the last scene's kind of growing on me. Maybe. I mean...David Hewlett is all kinds of awesome. And Carson's hair still bothers me, but that's neither here nor there at this point.

4) Hey, so Teyla - thinking about Carson in the beginning? I hope so. I mean, OW. But still.

5) BY THE WAY. Elizabeth's date? What was his name? HOT. Dude! I hope we see him again, DAYUM.

Anyway...off to actually eat dinner now...

Why do they keep breaking me? Why?

I think the quick, barely there mention of John's marriage has everybody baffled. Wow. I just did not see that coming. I was just saying at Yin's that I think John got married because that was the next thing on his list, after getting in the Air Force Academy. And it was a train wreck because he was only present in his usual, detached, untouchable way. He wasn't in love, he just needed to check that off his list.

On the other hand, he looked frigging amazing in those wrinkled up civvies. And the dress blues? Squeeee!

Well, they *did* have that (played for laughs, not really gay) gay kiss that one time. But, yeah. Until the last third or so, this ep was pure fanservice. There was stuff straight out of fanfic, I swear, which = awesome.

Although? It had never occured to me that John might have been married before. Had you? Anyone reading this comment, thoughts? The only times I can think of seeing it in fic have been AUs. Hrm.


(Why no, I really *can't* stop thinking about this ep, why do you ask?)

Totally off the subject, but *oh God*

Liz, have you read troyswann's A Real Boy yet?

Read it! Read it! AU Sci Fi fusion! Mounties in space!

I just finished it, and I'm kind of flailing here. Oh, Fraser! Oh, Dief! Oh, Ray, my poor broken, achy, happy heart!

OMG, just watched, and I bounced in my chair when Ronon was all "to a woman? Like, dude. Are the sweaty, shirtless, hands-on training sessions which huge penis extensions and fondling knives and blowing things up not getting through to you?

And then John had his line, and I nearly spat water all over my screen. I mean, seriously, people.

Sorry for the uber-late comment, but I just watched the episode. Carson = wish troll. BUT I MISS HIM ANYWAY. ::wibbles::
