I did not squee as much this time as over 4x01. But that line... you know which one... I'm still laughing about it. (Dear TPTB, it's not slash if they're DOING IT ON SCREEN!)
This week's top ten, then:
1. Silliness.
John: I'm assuming the big glowy thing is the core.
Rodney: Indeed it is.
(Is glowy the new "shiny"?)
Speaking of which...
2. Ripping off Joss Whedon.
Ellis (of all people!) saying "five by five."
The Firefly-like computer code... boy started singing "Fruity Oaty Bars" when we were watching that part.
And Rodney saying "You want to touch down gently... like a leaf kissing the surface of a pond." Aww. Homage.
3. Tech support. (if that's even what they're talking about...)
Rodney: Are you sure you plugged it in the right slot?
John: There's only one slot, Rodney.
A little later...
Rodney: Try plugging it in again.
4. Men being forced to listen to directions from a woman.
Elizabeth: Now turn right... Left, then right... (etc., etc.)
5. Elizabeth being slightly evil. Not full-on, all-the-way evil, but still pretty awesome.
Elizabeth: I figured you'd messed with our minds. So I'd mess with yours... (Sucker!)
By the way, I realized that Oberoth totally reminds me of one of my professors. Freaky.
6. John being put on his knees... again.
*cough* No comment.
7. John calling Ronon "Chewie."
Um, what the hell? Am I the only one who thought that was weird and just... not the best?
8. Pretty flying-jellyfish-city special effects.
(Just add tentacles!)
9. Random scary landing?
Um, guys? That wasn't actually scary. We knew you were going to make it by that point.
By the way, why don't spaceships have seatbelts? Or did the Ancients just anchor themselves with their glowy tentacles?
10. Beautiful Teyla and Ronon scene! (Since, you know, Teyla got to do so much this episode.) Nice John and Sam scene!
Wow, what a pathetic salute. And then, "So, you stickin' around?" Yes John, that IS business-casual. Right on.
Oh, John, you freak. Go give Rodney hugs. And then go hang out with Radek, he needs love too.
(In case it's not obvious, I did really love that scene. Especially Sam's last line. Because Sam is awesome and she knows all about team members coming back from the dead.)
Elizabeth. Come back and kick all their asses. Make them rue the day they were born! Please? Oh yeah, and kill the Wraith. Boo, Wraith. Just don't kill each other off, that would be boring.
