SGA 3x14: slightly more coherent

holliI sat down and rewatched and tried to have actual words about "The Tao of Rodney," rather than just high-pitched noises, and IM'd frantically at the very patient ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liviapenn while doing so. Most of this is just me repeating myself from that conversation.
1. Ronon would make an EVEN BETTER Unexpectedly Large Robin than Bright Abbot.ficbyzee, you KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.
2. Rodney doing the little Spider-Man fingers while using the TK: best ever. He totally didn't even need to, he just thought they looked cool. Although the fact that he does them AGAIN at the end while checking if he still has superpowers makes me LOVE DAVID HEWLETT SO MUCH. His script for this episode must have been COVERED in little notes in glitter pen and a million exclamation points.
3. Torchwood and SGA both are just gaying it up ALL OVER lately, my goodness. Although only Torchwood had the character with brand-new psychic powers discovering another character's inner monologue of constant emo manpain. I guess there wasn't really room in this episode for the revelation that Ronon spends hours in his quarters weeping about the loss of his beloved Sateda and listening to Bright Eyes and cutting, which, you know, I am okay with that being left out.
4. Speaking of Ronon, again, some more, I am officially wholeheartedly in dorky love with this show, and I can backdate the exact moment I fell for it, because it coincides precisely with Ronon Dex's awkward man-hug back-patting.
5. I note that Rodney mentions gigantism as a potential result of the Ascension machine. Truly, the only thing that could have *possibly* improved this episode is Attack of the 50 Foot Rodney.
6. In his head, John says "I fought a scary monster, that's what I do best," in his very best Wolverine voice.
7. I like how Radek doesn't really believe that Rodney is going to die until the big touching apology speech, and then his face just sort of CRUMBLES, like, OH SHIT, he MEANS IT, this is for reals. I got a little misty. I'm not gonna lie.
8. From now on, whenever Atlantis is faced with something dire, John is totally going to suggest that he go use the Ascencion machine, which he insists on calling the superpower machine, or possibly renames to Cerebro or something. And John's definition of "dire" is kind of loose, ranging from "Wraith about to attack" to "out of ketchup," and poor beleaguered Elizabeth is just like, John, seriously, I think the Marines can build a jungle gym for the Athosian kids just fine on their own, you don't actually need telekinesis for that.
9. I think my heart grew three sizes today or something, man, I am SO FULL OF LOVE.
10. I have not even MENTIONED how utterly, utterly married John and Rodney are, or how John apparently keeps a ton of candles and candlesticks around the place, even one of those floating-candle thingies, and yet does not have a damn pillow or something so Rodney doesn't have to lie on the damn floor. He really is my favoritest colonelbot of all. Someday he will wrap his emotion circuits around this crazy thing called love!
