SGA 4x07, contains the usual Teyla spoiler

[sapote]

Have some typed-as-I-watched reaction notes:

Is it my imagination, or is Teyla gritting her teeth during Keller's "a whole new galaxy" speech? "I want to learn about new, exotic cultures!" says Keller. And Teyla's thinking to herself, actually, we've been here this whole time.

Teyla's clothes are awesome. Besides the, you know, jacket with the special breast exception.

Athosian architecture = just like I planned! Also, oh no Athosians! Also, Teyla/Keller for the win. Also, Doctor Kaylee is so precious I could just die. Also, poor Kaylee, she switches universes and she still gets reavers.

Hee, Kaylee's tiny little scalpel and Teyla's "I don't know yet". I like Teyla improvising. She usually seems so calculating. There are places here where she sounds pissed off, even.

"None of us believed we could endure it, but all of us did." Except that one guy. He got eaten by a bear.

Hi, it's a windy bridge! Someone's going to shoot at them halfway across! Also, Keller, I don't think you needed to be this wimpy, but okay. I actually have crossed those, but, you know, with a climbing harness belted to one of the cables.

Keller, why are you yelling? Yelling is bad when you're fleeing vicious baddies. God, Teyla is well-filmed here. Also, she has, like, a spork and a bit of log and then she killifies them. And I enjoy that. Kaylee, steal the spikey club! This is a good plan!

Blah blah you have ladyfeelings about death blah. Let Teyla stop and share her feelings! Still, way to stand up to Teyla and do emergency field surgery?

Ground squid! It's what's for dinner.
"Hi, I'm from the Genii! Let me tell you my clever plan!"

They're going to have to stab him in the neck! To keep him from telling the others! It'll be TRAGIC.

I had a friend like you. He was eaten by a bear.
His name is Canaan. Cue the synthesizer music. Let's talk about boys! No, I do concede the reasonableness of this conversation, but I hate the music.

CUT TO BOYFRIENDS.
Ronon is wonderful here. I love Ronon all this season. I didn't used to.
Keller, why don't you make a tearful plea?
"I signed up for this, alright? All of it. I may have had no idea what I was getting into -" OMG GIRLFRIENDS.

Action scene blah blah. SHEPPARD HAS HIS SLEEVES ROLLED UP, does Rodney know about this?

"Where are you from -" for some reason I found this kind of moving. Like, Teyla has been dealing with The Earth People, an undifferentiated mass, this whole time.

The Bolluckai or whatever are really unconvincing. I am not very concerned about them. He's all like, Look, man, I'm not so bad. I'm just like everyone else. I work all day, eat some babies, have a little nap. Listen to the baseball.

ALSO Ronon/Rodney/John moment for sure. Teyla has left them. For a doctor. They are sad and must cuddle. Is this guy's name really Mabel? Is he going to turn on them at the last minute? YES HE IS. Zombie!Nazi has questions for you.

Also, the thing where they come out of the cloaked jumper is awesome.
Birch tree! Bullshit like the wind, Keller! I<3U.
KICK HIM IN THE BALLS, TEYLA. Also, Keller, I saw you, your knee was right there. You seriously could have.

Oo, existential crisis! Shoot the guy! YAY! WORLD OF YAY.

Okay, surprise random submachine gun fire. That sucked a little.
BOYFRIENDS. VERY VIOLENT BOYFRIENDS WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONRY. We will shoot at things and then crossfade, that will resolve this plotline.

They jossed me by an ENTIRE CIVILIZATION. EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE SEQUEL THAT NEVER HAPPENED? DEAD.

"I'll check in with you later," says John. "I'll let you have icky girlfriend talk now."
OMG cliched hospital scene. Also, way to make her the carrier of her entire civilization's genetic survival so she doesn't have a "hey, this isn't really the time, can we, like, use an Ancient fetus-zapper real quick?"

I didn't hate it! Even without the buffering influence of toft_froggy rooting for everyone's head to explode! Yay SGA!
