That was awesome.
This is what I WANT from this show. Neat little episodes that showcase the Pegasus Galaxy. Danger that doesn't always have to rely on bad guys. Tightly plotted, well-written episodes that make me laugh and squee and gasp. Fun character interactions, and unexpected heroism, and little indications that the characters all have lives outside their work. Girl bonding! Rodney joining in girl bonding! Missions that go wrong in goofy and dorky and unexpectedly dangerous ways. It just makes the place feel real.
This show has been rocking the women this season. I think this is seriously one of my favorite episodes this season, even though none of my usual "favorite" character relationships were showcased. This is the show I want to watch each week -- no big giant space battles (though they're fun from time to time), just ultra-dorky space explorers bumbling around and succeeding in spite of themselves -- moments of real person heroism rather than big grand gestures.
I want more like this. MORE MORE MORE.

And gorgeous Sam with the grappling hook, and choosing to go on when she no doubt understood how dangerous that was because they had to try. This really reminded me of that SG-1 episode with fireflies when Haley was around and O'Neill had to choose the explanation that endangered only him versus everyone. Sam is, imo, the best commander Atlantis could ever hope to have. She's military but she understands science and she's reasonably good with people. They should be thanking their lucky stars she's in the Pegasus Galaxy.
Keller, so cute with the way she's sure she can be of no help in the begining and so happy when she has that bar-trick idea. And the way she invited Rodney for a drink I totally thought that was friendly. I also loved the way both Rodney and Sam were completely clueless about the bar trick! They are such geeks! LOL
Oh, the best part is when Rodney said Sam was too heavy and the babble that followed. That? *LOL*!!!

Sam is fantastic. It was so nice to see her in her element in the field. And yet, I love how she doesn't push Rodney or try to overrule him -- I was going to say "defers" to him but that's not precisely it; it's just that she doesn't have anything to prove or any particular need to always be the one in the middle of the action. Which, actually, goes to show how far she's come, too, because I remember that in early season 1 of SG-1 she was the exactly opposite -- a woman in a man's world, always feeling like she had to prove herself. She's so much more confident now.
