Stargate Atlantis 3x04 - Sateda

[moonlettuce]

For some reason, I was totally expecting this episode to be 'McKay and Mrs Miller'. I've no idea why I thought that, but I was absolutely positive that it was. Which is why I was rather confused when I started seeing people reviewing 'Sateda' *grin*

Huh guh cheeda - John in leather...

Rodney got shot in the ass!

*grin* Rodney knows the symbols of every gate address they've been to.

Oops, Teyla's down. And so's Ronon.

And so's John. Who's wearing leather.

Elizabeth: Rodney, where are the others?
Rodney: Right behind me.
*Gate closes*

Not so much...

Oh my, John's in a cage - and did I mention he's wearing leather.

John *to Ronon*: I know you must be thinking this is your fault.
Teyla: I have already tried to console him.

Please tell me that consolation involved both Teyla and Ronon being naked, with optional whipped cream...

Eep. They're going to give Ronon to the Wraith.

Although, they may be so overcome with lust at the sight of John in leather that they completely forget about eating people.

Carson's given Rodney some morphine for the pain of the arrow in his ass, and there's a Marine asking Rodney how many villagers were there, and how far from the 'gate it was. And Rodney reply?

Rodney: Have you seen a guy around? He looks like you, but he's got messy hair. I think I lost him somewhere.

lol! Rodney's high and the first thing he thinks of is Sheppard.

*snort*

Rodney: And a pretty girl and a caveman...

Okay, just an aside, and I realise that time is of the essence here, but shouldn't NoName!Major have a little more respect in his voice when he's talking to Rodney? Y'know, seeing as he's the Chief Science Officer of Atlantis and one of the three highest ranking people on the base.

Ronon threatened to kill himself until the villagers agreed to let John and Teyla go. And, wow, is that the most Ronon's ever spoken?

Hubert!

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the feeling that NoName!Major was meant to be Lorne, but Kavan Smith was busy doing something else?

Oo-er, the Wraith have Ronon. Wow, that should be, really ugly Wraith have Ronon. So, some sort of alpha male Wraith, or a really unfortunate accident involving a blender?

And they killed the villagers when they took him.

They're implanting him again. And they've dropped him on Sateda.

Ooh, flashback to Ronon's girlfriend.

The Wraith have night vision goggles. That's such an unfair advantage.

And Rodney finds seven transmitters on the frequency, so that means there may be another six runners out there.

Showdown with Caldwell.

Caldwell: I won't bail you out of trouble.
John: You said that as if we're always getting in trouble.

Because they never leave a man behind. Especially when they know they'll have some team-bonding sex afterwards.

And Ronon's learned a few new tricks since he was last running.

Okay, that slow motion shot of Ronon walking away with the explosion behind him? I may have watched that more than once *grin*

Oh my god... woobie!John. *hugs him* *gives him Rodney to have sex with*

wtf? Carson, darlin', Rodney's there because Ronon is part of his team. He's there because the team stick together. He's there because the team don't leave someone behind. He's there because he doesn't want to miss out on the sex they're all going to have when they get Ronon back. Sheesh. The four of them rely on each other when they're out there. Rely on each other to watch their backs, to make sure sure they all come home. So I don't really think the "Have you ever even had a conversation with the man," was strictly necessary. You're not part of the team, Carson - don't presume to know how it works.

Oh, Ronon.

And the team get there.

Er, has Carson been growing a spine in a test tube in the back of the infirmary or something?

lol! Dorky John and his macho pride when he finds out Teyla killed more Wraith than he did.

*grin*

John: Who's flying the ship?
Rodney *standing nowhere near the flight controls* : Me.
John: *looks*

And now I want them to get back to Atlantis and have hot foursome team sex to make Ronon feel better.

I've read a lot of comments and discussions on the Carson & Rodney conversation. You, with that paragraph, have perfectly described my feelings on the matter.

Yes, exactly. You put it much more coherently than I was able to.

So glad I'm not the only one wanting a little less Carson. I vote for more Rodney and John!

The leather! Seriously, when did everyone start wearing leather?

My fav part of the whole eipsode was when John sat on the floor next to Rodney. I don't know why, but in those minutes I really saw how comfortable they are with each other.

I got a little sick of slow motion Ronan. We know he must be able to kick ass to have survived so long, but seriously! One man army?!

Caron hasn't grown a spine, he's just been getting some from Laura Cadman and thinks he has a spine because of all the sex.

Was that the village Ronan spoke about in season 2? Where he settled for one night or something and they ended up culled?

Your spoiler reports are way better than M's spoiler reports. I may be a bit vague on what actually happened but I have the important bits: leather + sex) and am now off to ask t for the alternative ending to this story :)

er you know those series 2 eps I asked for, can I add series 3 ?

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I actually got rather narked at Carson during that bit. I was all, "the fuck? Where the hell does Carson get off saying that?!"

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

I totally understood what you meant about Carson when I reached that point. I was like, "Carson, you really need to go away now..."

[moonlettuce.livejournal.com]

Preferably nekkid ;)

I think John saw Rodney checking out Ronon in his leather coat and got all pouty, so he went to Elizabeth and demanded a leather jacket *g*

The laptop's burner has been playing up a bit, but I'll get them done as soon as I can :)

and together!!!

OMG yes to the Carson bit. See, I *want^ to like him, and sometimes I do, but most of the time he's my least favorite character. Okay yeah, Carson had to come on the mission because of the whole chip thing and maybe Rodney didn't logically need to be there, but you're right: he's team, Carson isn't, which is why both of his scenes with Rodney irritated me somewhat, and I wasn't sure why until now. The first one because for such a warm fuzzy type who's supposed to be Rodney's friend he just didn't *get it* and was kind of an ass, and the second because when the hell did Carson even learn how to pick up that gun let alone fire it, and hi, still a doctor with the do no harm thing.

And see, it really shouldn't have bothered me that much, but I feel like he keeps intruding into my happy OT4 team-ness and just. Needs. To go. Away. *flicks at him* Ronon's hug at the end would have been so much more satisfying if it had been toward someone- anyone- that he actually seemed to have a prior relationship with in canon, like anyone else in the puddlejumper.

(Ah, sorry to drop in and rant, but if I think about Carson too much I tend to get inexplicably angry.)
