So anyway, whee! The episode that made tentacle porn canon! Mostly. Anyway, this is proof that TPTB love us and want us to be happy. Plus, The Wools learns that the rules are more like general guidelines, really; Sheppard continues to be a CRAZY MAN; we learn how hive ships are born and Carson has apparently been in stasis in a tanning bed.
Sadly, this episode is also the one with Not Enough McKay because he inexplicably disappears two-thirds of the way through and we don't see ANY bicep at all. However, we did get lots of good Sheppard, including the Many and Varied Faces Thereof, Laying in a Too Short Bed (again), Writhing in Restraints and best of all, Getting Penetrated (By a Tentacle).
This is the one where Our Boys (including Major Who) are trapped under a fallen building and where Rodney delivers Teyla's baby but then she goes and gives it two wrong names. Plus, members of the GirlStar team from the upcoming episode "Whispers" get introduced and I decide what I want to be what I grow up.
Also, this episode gives strong evidence that this will be the Season of McKay's Biceps, which I wholeheartedly support.
Okay, seriously, yes, after a very long hiatus where Real Life kicked my ass, I'm back with another commentary. Don't know how regularly I'll be able to do these but it is my goal to complete both S3 and S4 sometime in the next decade. :) So, without further ado, I give you...

Okay, look let me just say first: You are not dreaming. This was an actual episode of SGA. The events of this show are canon. Try to contain your swoon.
And, this episode was written by Martin Gero, which always promises to be a giant, squishy, fangirly festival. Also, Rodney calls Sheppard "John" again, and this time, it's not a throwaway. Needless to say, it's my new favorite episode.
In conclusion, FLAIL FLAIL DOLPHIN NOSE FLAIL. And maybe a little *squee*.
Ahem.

Hm. Okay, so The Tao of Rodney was so marvelous, wonderful, amazing, etc…that anything would be a letdown after. So The Game wasn’t bad. It was actually kinda good. There’s just no putting it in the same universe as Tao. Of course, this is the episode that confirms that The Look in 1.01 was indeed the beginning of a beautiful friendship and John and Rodney have been BFF since day one. Canon now says they really are as close was we all like to write them. And as if recent episodes weren’t slashy fangirl wet dreams come true that tell us the writers really have been reading fanfic, this one would be the proof. They’re obviously reading slash because they keep doing things to try and show us that no, really, they’re just good friends. Problem is, every time they try, all they end up doing is giving us more and more canon that shows us how much more they actually are. Once again, the slash just writes itself. Also? In this ep, they gave us The Yoink and broke legion fangirl hearts with squee.
Don’t miss another fabulous picspam by thegrrrl2002. Excellent caps there.
Drawbacks? Too much tertiary character. I’d rather have seen more Rodney and Sheppard than their “fictional” counterparts. Also, not the finest-woven of plots, but better than Irresistible. At least there was lots for us slashers to choose from, which is all we care about anyway. And hey, no Carson! Since I like him again, that goes in the negative column. Also, no Chuck.
Other things of note: Well, the writers must have realized we’ve all been riding this giant, sparkly pink rollercoaster of HoYay! for the last few eps and have decided that although there is no possible way they can stop Sheppard from pinging so gay (what with his Love Shack full of candles and purple gauzy curtains), they’d attempt to make Rodney heterosexual not only by including their one required mention of a female “love” “interest,” but also by “subtly” reminding us of Rodney’s send-it-to-the-glue-factory-already crush on Sam Carter. (Un)fortunately, any slight indication of “hetero-normalcy” is all completely canceled out by John’s ultra-badass wannabe-Mad Max avatar who’s so over-the-top manly that we can all totally imagine John screeching “FAAAB-ulous!” as he added more spikes in the shape of a heart to the outfit. Bonus: You must not miss this awesome pic by
Also, after taking my own little hiatus, this is my first new commentary since before the break. I hope you enjoy and please forgive if I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things.
So, that was The Game. Lots of slashy, BFFy fun but I still don’t know what the hell the writers were trying to tell us with this one. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
Let me 'splain about the boobies. We went to the Diamond Cabaret for lunch today. They have a really good weekday prime rib buffet for $7. So we all went and I ate three bites of prime rib and a a bit of broccli and looked at boobies. It was lovely. Then I went into the office for about an hour and did some actual work and now I'm home. Boy, I like my new job. *\o/*
The Gates are on tonight! More yay! Please force your friends and neighbors to watch. Tonight's SGA is The Game and marks the very exciting occasion of a brand-spanking new commentary from me. I did 3.11-14 in the fall when I was able to get my hands on them and then real life interfered. And while I've watched the remainder of season 3, I haven't actually written the commentary yet. So we'll see if I can get back into the swing of things after Tao.
And now a cookie for you, from the fic I'm currently working on:
When she’d finally told him, mumbled into his neck that she wanted him and John both, he’d pulled away to look at her with that insightful blue gaze. He’d understood immediately what she meant but made her say it anyway. Wouldn’t let her hide behind words and implied meanings, tipped her chin up, made her say it out loud, made her own it, that she wanted them both, yes, but what she really wanted was both of them at once.
She’d blushed horribly, ducked her head, when she finally got the words out, ashamed of her desire, but Rodney had just tipped her chin up again and smiled and chuckled the tiniest bit smugly and said he didn’t think it would be a problem.

Here's the stuff wot I wrote this year.
Uh, it's pretty much all Stargate Atlantis commentary. But! There were also a Harry Potter fic, an SGA ficlet and the beginning of an SGA behemoth (well, for me, anyway, at something like 6k+ words and I haven't written the porn yet.) Also, other assorted things included my adventures trapped in an elevator, my mother's eulogy from 1997 (which doesn't actually count for this year, but it's when I posted it), and the worst date I ever went on.

Uh…I’m incapable of making any comment about The Tao of Rodney beyond dolphin noises.
Okay, okay, I’ll give it a try. First there was McKay & Mrs. Miller—TWO Rodneys, how can you top that?—and I about squeed myself to death. And then there was the ridiculous cuteness of Echoes and I seriously thought it just couldn’t get any better. And then…then they gave us The Tao of Rodney and reduced me to incoherent squeaks of utter joy.
I said last time about Irresponsible that it’s clear the writers have been reading fanfic and are big sappy fangirls. This episode proves it. C’mon…Rodney with superpowers? They totally read the responses to that challenge! I mean, this ep was the slashy fangirl wet dream come true of McKay & Mrs. Miller combined with the "How many ways can you say “SO FUCKING CUTE!”? Multiply that by like a bajillion and add in some baby bunnies and duckies and kittens and chubby babies and stuff and toss in a few friendship bracelets and letter i’s dotted with hearts and add Slimey the worm and the Twiddlebugs and sprinkle on some glitter and then you might be approaching the universe where the cuteness of John and Rodney in this scene resides," cuteness of Echoes. And really, even if they haven’t been reading fanfic, you still know they’re giant fannish geeks because this episode might as well have been called Rodney McKay Becomes a Jedi Except for the Bits with the Lightsaber.
And regrettably, thus ends what was literally the most enjoyable episode of television I’ve ever watched. *dreamy sigh*
