Mckay and Mrs Miller

My thoughts on last night's ep




I LOVED it!!

Poor Rodney. ~squishes him~

This ep had David Hewlett's actual sister playing Rodney's sister, and had a second Rodney in leather from a paralell universe. Yum. I don't want to spoil completely so I won't go into how that all happened.

Strangely, though? I still prefered our own McKay. I know at the end of the ep, John, Teyla and Ronan tried to assure our Rodney that they prefered him, and the other Mckay was creepy, but I can't help but wonder if they were just trying to make him feel better. Well, either way, how totally sweet!!

And can I just say? I'm assuming that it was John and not Ronan, but Joe Flanigan has the worst fake laugh I've ever heard. It was funny, though.

Kate Hewlett was teh best! She rocked, completely. I just wish she could be a regular. Her and her brother bounce so well off each other. The whole siblings squabbling thing worked so well.

I also adored the McShep moments. Like when Rodney was figuring out that his sister probably hated him and he went on and on and John just sat there agreeing and saying 'mmm'. And no, John didn't behave that way because he wasn't interested. He behaved that way because he knows that Rodney can't be told. Rodney needs to reach the correct conclusion on his own.

Then there was the scene near the end where John brings Jeanie a laptop with Rodney's message from Letters From Pegasus. Auw!! See? John cares enough to do that for Rodney. It's love, I tell you! ~squishes them together~

Now, isn't there a hiatus coming up???? Please, someone break the bad news to me. When is it and how long is it for? ~cringes~

See, I'm awful. It was a good episode but it was so totally Red Dwarf with Rod there I was kinda disappointed. Yeah, Rod was hot and all but fan fic writers have done this concept and done it better! They should have just focused on Rodney and his Sister. Hopefully they'll use her more.

I have no idea about a hiatus. Hmm, wonder if it's true.

OMG, I just loved it. Did much squeeing and giggling ~g~ I thought the Rod stuff was very clever. Very effective. But the Rodney and his sister were the best bits. And the McShep. ~happy sigh~

I do think they're listening to fanfic writers a lot more than other shows. I thought that was a great effort!

There's a really cool sounding ep coming involving a computer game. I'm REALLY looking forward to that.

The hiatus is usually between eps 10 and 11 - we had the Storm/Eye two parter in S1 and the Lost Boys/Hive two-parter in S2, which means we should brace for another drawn out cliffhanger ep.

Last year hiatus ran from *thinkyface* the end of September to January, but with Sci-fi floating that rumour about making the hiatus 6 months so they can show BSG in one un-interrupted run, who knows what's going on?
(And if they do do that they can expect a flood of unhappy responses.)

Re the ep - SQUEE!

Rodney pacing in John's room while John polishes his clubs? How phallic was that?!

And as for Ace McKay - I was waiting for someone to say 'Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!'

Kate rocked as Jeannie.

Sheppard, with the video clip of Rodney, made my heart go pittypat. While I know that most likely he just went and got in from the relevant mission folder, in my head, he has a copy hidden away on his computer. ;)

And back to Rod. When he sat down for the first time I actually squeed aloud - Hewlett gave Rod the Sheppard chair slouch! The arm over the back, the legs, the whole attitude screamed Sheppard. And I so want him to admit to it on the commentary. :P

6 months??? More? MEEP!! Oh noes!! I'm not sure I can cope. So that means we've only got another couple of eps to go?? Bollocks. What's BSG?

Oh, my god, the clubs. YES!!! I loved that whole scene.

ACE!!! Hee!!!

I really want more Jeannie. I wonder if she'll come back in a few S4 eps. I really hope so.

I'm sure that was John's laptop. Of course he has a copy. I'm completely convinced!

Hee! I had several squee moments! I loved the little McSheppy moments. I can't wait for The Game!!

Oh, oh, oh did you notice that DH called Jeannie 'Katie' at one point? Hee! Slip! Whoops!

I think that was my fav ep of S3 so far. I need more. No hiatus! Stoopid!!

BSG is Battlestar Galactica - Sci-Fi's favourite child, for now at least. That's the show that's benefiting from their entire advertising budget, that's being pimped far and wide, while Stargate is left in the corner. And then Sci-Fi complain about the ratings! (*has sci-fi issues*)

He said Katie? Oooooh! I must rewatch (again) and try to catch that! I'm sure they will have dubbed it by the time it gets a second screening. They're sneaky like that. *g*

The six month thing was a rumour that surfaced a month or so ago, but I have no clue whetehr it was real, done to test the waters, or just an evil trick that was played on us. But if it's real, I plan to email Sci-Fi and express my displeasure - every damn day my show is off the air. :D

I want 'John calls Rodney 'Meredith' in bed and has to pay the price' fic. ;)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yes, I keep meaning to give that a go. Still, that's not fair! I join you in your issues!

He says it while he's sitting at the desk and she's staring out the window. He says it really quickly and with his accent it sounds like 'kadie', but I'm convinced!

If it is real I shall email to. I don't understand why these shows have to have a hiatus. Lost does it every year and it's so annoying!! That reminds me, any idea when Traveler is going on air? I REALLY enjoyed the pilot ~g~

Meredith! I nearly died ~wants it too~

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

I was a huge fan of the original BSG, and I have a healthy fear of remakes, so I probably won't be getting invested in this version. I haven't been sufficiently inspired to dl even one episode as yet.

Yay! Another Traveler proto-fan! Sadly, as yet, there is still no news on when exactly it's going to be screened, though it's touted to appear in January. *crosses toes*

Also, production has moved from new York to *drumroll please* Vancouver!!! So now I have three shows to play 'spot the familiar face/place' in. :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I loved the original but I hadn't really thought too much about watching the new version. I am kinda curious.

Traveler was awesome! Totally cool! I'll certainly cross my toes.

What is it about Vancouver? Must be the place to be!

Don't know about the hiatus, but I do have the feeling that John will be trying to get Rodney into leather pants soon.

Oh, god, I hope so!!! ~drools~
