I just got ahold of a version of "Ark" with the missing minute or so that was cut off the small download ...

Okay, my Sheppard!Love is just through the ROOF in this episode ...

We had the return of super-competent, super-serious leader Sheppard (and as much as I love Sheppard the giant dork, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun if it wasn't in contrast to this side of him).

We had pilot Sheppard (and Rodney's "may as well be straight out of fanfic" comment about "You think you can fly anything!").

And now we have Sheppard teasing Teyla in the infirmary (squee!) and admitting, once again, how much he cares about his team (but in an offhand, Sheppardesque kind of way), and then that tossed-off remark about Rodney at the end which totally recalls his reluctant "... and Rodney" in the Daedalus scene in "Sateda" -- *and* was a perfect parallel to Rodney telling Elizabeth that they should go ahead and let Sheppard melt himself into a puddle of protoplasm in the machine at the end of "Tao". Of course it's perfectly, amply, evidently obvious, especially in light of the whole rest of the episode, that it's all TEASING, right? Heeeeeeeee.

I love this show.

Oh yeah I think all the shows I've ever really liked have had that kind of interaction between guy friends. I LIKE the snarky kinds of friendships. Non-snarky friednships are boring. :O)

Most of mine are. Ok, they DO sometimes step over a line, but then I make it clear that the line has been crossed, and we've gone from banter into 'ouch' territory. It's very rare that it happens, however.

And like John and Rodney, my three closest friends are NOT people that I looked at when I first met them and thought 'I'd like it if they were my friend'. In fact for two of them it was a case of 'well I'll never be friends with them!'

Friendships 'happen'. I know looking back that I can most often than not, NOT pin point why or how.

Oh, SO true! And like you, I have snarky/bickery relationships with my friends -- and most of my closest friends are people that I actually didn't like when I first met them. (Probably because the people I tend to be closest to are very strong-willed and outspoken people ... and I ran afoul of this aspect first, only later getting to know and love the person they were underneath.)

Just to make the parallel even closer ... I can't really imagine telling my closest friends (male or female) that I love them. Even though I do. I squirm inside at the very thought.

Maybe I relate to John and Rodney so well because I'm just as emotionally stunted as they are. *grin*

And that's what makes it so awesome when they do end up being friends. :O)
