SGA:4x16 - Trio

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.

Glad you agree. I think the scene could be interpreted both ways, but I suspect the writers are more interested in Keller/Ronon and hence this scene isn't meant to be shippy. I could, of course, be proved completely wrong though!!

I watched this episode and wondered which direction they were going with the Keller/McKay scene at the end. My friend Dena had an explanation. Her idea is that Keller missed out on all the party things in high school and college and now she's making up for it. Not in a sleeping around way, but in a flirty, let's find a place and have a good time and get to know each other way.

I think that fits perfectly well with what we've seen onscreen. And there is no reason to expect, from what little we've seen of her relationship with Ronon, that she wouldn't be free to flirt with other guys, either. She almost kissed the guy, but that's a looong step from a committed relationship. (Though the idea of Ronon and Rodney at loggerheads over Keller is highly amusing to me.)

Yeah, the idea of Ronon and Rodney at loggerheads over Keller is fun to think about. But considering how the characters play on screen I'm not sure that Ronon would be willing to go that far over Keller. I think he would assume that since Keller and Rodney are from the same planet that Rodney would have the advantage, plus I think that Ronon would be dissappointed in Keller's taste by her seeing Rodney.
