selenayNot really a review. More of a squeeee!! moment.
Squeeeee!!
Oh, John, you are starting to get that Kirk thing going. And yet I didn't mind. I even managed to see slashiness. "Hi Teyla. Can I speak to Rodney?"
And I had much love for Carson here. And Ronon fights well, despite being kinda cuddly.
What? I had my arm around the man this weekend. I noticed. He's big, strong...and a little cuddly.
And Teyla...why did I suddenly really like your wispy hair thing this week?
The only bad thing was the lack of Zelenka and the minimal screen time for Elizabeth.
I kept thinking that the set dressers must have had a blast with this week's episode. Very cool.
I did like the plot. I picked out that the Chamberlain was going to be evil (British = evil, of course), but Peter Woodward was absolutely excellent and I was a little sad that he died because I'd love to see him playing a recurring villain.
Actually, I'd prefer to see him playing a Technomage who steps on the pale grey side of the moral divide, but failing that he'd make a great recurring villain on Atlantis. Or just any character on Atlantis.
But I digress. I haven't really been keeping up with what people are saying about the episodes, preferring to arrive at them without someone else's opinions colouring my impressions, so I have no idea whether this was one of the episodes that people have been kicking up a fuss about. I thought that this was a great episode and enjoyed ever minute of it. Even John's Kirk moment.
I love my shiny, slashy show *ggg*

Date: 2006-02-11 07:30 pm (UTC)You and me both. There's been a lot of people saying how bad this episode is, but I don't know why because I thought it was a fun episode.
And while there were so many hints that John not seeing it coming was a bit unlikely, it was probably just that he knew what she wanted and was hoping she was going to give up if he didn't do anything. Plus it's a bit difficult to expect someone bursting into your room, undressing and seducing you.
