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.

Well, I did love Missing, but I agree with you that Keller was very likeable in this episode compared to past ones -- I think this is the most I've liked her since Adrift. Her scenes with Rodney were especially fun -- and come to think of it, maybe that's part of it for me, because I really loved her with Rodney in Adrift too. He seems to bring out a better side of her (the smart/funny/competent side) than she displays around the fighter-types. I have no clue if they're intending to head in a shippy direction with Rodney/Keller, but as much as I like the idea of Ronon/Keller, I'd be perfectly okay with this pairing too.
