SGA 1x15, "Before I Sleep," aka: the ep that ate my brain.

[kageygirl]

I've seen this episode so many times that it's almost troubling. And by "almost troubling," I mean "borderline obscene." And yet? Can still babble about it. Freak.

::watching the teaser. Boy is wandering through living room to get a beer from the kitchen::
Rodney: "... preferably one with a balcony, but I'm not married to it."
Boy: Who's the gay guy?
kagey: ::falls off sofa, giggling madly:: He's not, but we like him with the head military guy there.
Boy: Wait, he's not supposed to be overtly gay?
kagey: ::falls off sofa again. wonders why she bothered getting back up.:: No, no, he's not. He's just, uh, emphatic? ::tries and fails to think of a way to explain Rodney in ten words or less.::
Boy: He just said "married to it." ::gives kagey a dubious look, but she's giggling too much. wanders back into bedroom with beer::

Also--the Time Jumper! It only took me six or seven viewings to get it. John says he could do with an "instruction manual," and touches the panel, and bam! The ship takes him...

... back to the time where he can find the guy who built the thing.

So, all right, it's like a 3-candlepower lightbulb I've got here. But it's mine.

The Atlanteans say they found her ship on the ocean floor. I'm telling you, they were all dead, and the Atlanteans (who built the tech the sarcophagus was based on, yes?) brought Elizabeth back. But only her.

...

::facepalms. beats head against handy apartment wall.::

Okay, um, three different fics and four icons (no, five, I got one from mmmchelle) from one episode are really more than sufficient, and I'm going to go drink until I decide that the idea I just had is unnecessary. And it can go join the other BIS idea that I've been resisting. They can keep each other busy while I attempt to incur enough brain damage to forget them.

bwahaha! i think it's probably impossible to describe rodney in ten words or less.

i think you're right about everyone being dead. interesting layer to just how creepy the ancients are.

and everyone is correct, give in, write the fic. *veg*

ps. i think you have more than a "3-candlepower lightbulb". i'm just saying. ;)

And I just have no hope whatsoever of explaining to The Boy why Rodney's so endlessly attractive and fascinating, despite his... quirks. *g* I'm not even going there. I can see the futility from here. *g*
