SGA 501: Search and Rescue

[bluflamingo]

Now watch me forget half of what I wanted to say...

1. Awfully blaze about shooting the Athosian hybrids on Michael's ship, aren't we, guys? They used to be good guys, even if they turned. Also - what happened to Kanaan in the end? Blown up? Rescued? I imagine it's too much to hope that he might get a mention later on.

2. Teyla's baby is so cute - such tiny tiny fingers and... yeah, so cute. And he makes her so happy :) The look on John's face when he's in the dart with the baby though - there is a man who really wants to have children, and really believes that's as close as he's going to get.

3. Totally could have lived without the Teyla giving birth scene, which was (a) more than somewhat implausible (b) more than somewhat cliched and (c) more than somewhat all about Rodney. If I was Teyla, I'd have kicked him in the head and blamed it on a contraction. I'd also much rather have been left with Ronon than with Rodney - he seems the calm in a crisis type.

4. John ducking his head as they go through the doors into the cruiser will never not make me smile, as will Ronon's happy grin when John gets them onto the cruiser safely.

5. I never thought I'd say this but - I loved Caldwell in this episode: I like to keep the daring rescues to one a day. And - please make that ship go away. He can stick around :)

6. Going backwards now, but John and Ronon, when they realise they aren't being rescued just make my heart hurt. Even though they're obviously going to be saved, that whole moment of waiting to die, but going out fighting, and the 'it's been a pleasure', 'same' exchange. It totally, totally worked. As did John dragging himself up when he can hardly move, to go rescue Teyla - you just want to wrap him in a blanket and put him to bed, he looks so *tired*.

7. Okay, Woolsey - relieving Sam of her command in the gate-room - not the height of professionalism there! I can't believe they're sending him to take over; I *loved* Sam, even though she kept magically disappearing. And on a totally shallow note, she looked seriously hot in her leather jacket, striding around the Daedalus and being in command.

8. And on a really really shallow note - let's hope we're going to see more of the female solider with the gun, if only because I want a name so I can slash her with Keller; tell me I'm not the only one seeing it.

Capt. Alicia Vega (I think, if she's the same character that shows up later - if so, this is a neat-o way of introducing her)

Cool, thank you!
