You know what is making me happy this morning? Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_oscar_cat's Sunday SGA viewing chats, I actually know what my flist is talking about. Because usually? I start getting bored during the action scenes, and I sort of wander away. Sad but true. The second they start running around and shooting, I just get all "la la la, guns, la, I wonder what I've got in the fridge?". Even Firefly was challenging in this regard, and Firefly SGA ain't. But the chat makes it interesting, and thus I stay engaged.
I am seeing a lot of discussion on lj of how Rodney's character development just regresses with the introduction of Sam, and, yeah, I'm hoping it's not a permanent thing, with foil!Rodney all the time. At the same time, has anyone else had that experience in real life, where, you know, that One Person you had a hopeless crush on freshman year wanders back onto the scene and all the sudden you've got the emotional maturity of a seventeen-year-old? Especially considering what a bubble Rodney's been living in for the last three years, it really doesn't surprise me that having his old life and his new life suddenly mesh makes him stumble a bit. He used to be a whole different person, living in a whole different world, and all the sudden realities are colliding. That's hard, and Rodney does seem to respond to existential discomfort with, you know, plucky meglomania.
If only I thought the writers were really going at it like that, instead of "the dork is overconfident and that's funny". I can always hope? Or, at least, create an impenetrable armor of one-person fanon?
P.S. He never said who he was seeing, and thus it is JOHN.
P.P.S. HOIST AND PENETRATE. ::is twelve::
Also, I am really impressed with Ronon lately, because I have not been a big believer in his emotional development until now, and all the sudden he's awesome. I'm sorry for doubting you, Ronon fen.
So yes. I am very pleased to make everyone's acquaintance, by the way. I'm so glad this is shaping up to be a regular thing.
