3x15: The Game (brief)
Okay, I need to go to bed because I have to work in a few hours and I am going to DIE if I don't sleep, but first ...
OMG! I could not stop laughing all through that episode...
I just about DIED when I saw spoilers for it on David Hewlett's blog a few months ago. Of the handful of episodes whose plots I knew ahead of time this year (and aside from the McKay's sister episode, which was THE must-see) this was the one I wanted to see the most.
The reason should be perfectly obvious ...
Sheppard and McKay, competitive! Snarking! SQUEEEE.....
This episode was pretty much everything I was expecting ... except for the fun with Lorne and Zelenka, which totally came out of left field. There weren't really any surprises -- most of the plot twists could be seen coming a mile away (although I didn't anticipate the fake war -- that *was* a surprise, if a kind of hard-to-swallow one). Still! It wasn't the most fantastic episode from a plot perspective, but it delivered everything I was hoping for and more. It was light and fun and filled with one-liners and adorable expressions from the boys (all of them) ... just generally a giant barrel of squee.
And I think it's pretty much canon now that Sheppard and McKay spend all their waking hours together. Playing chess too! The writers have been reading fanfic again, I swear! And wannabe-dictator-Zelenka! I *love* this show!
Gotta sleep now.
Squeeeee!

Actually, in all seriousness, they *have* used Ronon that way in the past on the show (as with Kavanagh, for example). The really terrifying thing is the idea of sending him *by himself* to some hapless planet to negotiate. The last time we saw him try to do THAT was in Trinity, which, not coincidentally I believe, was also one of the first times they took him offworld. I don't think they let him do that anymore. :)
He'd probably come back with all kinds of trade concessions ... the first time. The second time, he'd be met by an army. :D
