The new elevator thing is *really* annoying.

*

SGA - "Aurora"

First off? OMG!!SQUEE!! Ahem. Yeah.

- Chess! Was really hoping that it would be Sheppard and McKay. And then when it wasn't Sheppard, was hoping it would be McKay. And then it wasn't either of them.

- Blue jello!

- WEIR: It's all about strategy. He's planning the next move and his move after that and the move after that.
RONON: You guys do a lot of that around here.
Yes, Ronon is seriously growing on me. It's neat getting to see his view of the Atlantis crew.

- RONON: No. I'm leaving.
WEIR: Hey, Ronon, wait. Just because we do things differently, doesn't mean we can't learn from each other. And Colonel Sheppard has already invested an incredible amount of time and energy trying to make you an integral part of his team.
RONON: (pause) I meant I'm leaving the table.
WEIR: Oh.
RONON: Is that okay?
WEIR: Yes, of course. I'm sorry, I thought that -
Ha! Ronon flustered Elizabeth. Good on him. I like how he looks rather amused throughout the whole thing. Hehe. Tiny moment of me shipping Ronon/Weir. The "okay" thing is cute.

- "Oh, see, look at his eyes all lighting up again. It's Pavlovian." And the hand wave! Hee!

- WEIR: How long before it gets here?
McKAY: Well, given that it's at the edge of the Pegasus Galaxy...Let me see...Carry the four...42 million years. Shall we go wait on the porch?

- Not sure about the Caldwell/Weir scene. It's kind of weird. How is Caldwell's crew supposed to gain any experience?

- Aw, the Team! Sheppard eating! Ronon leaning! Teyla standing around! McKay waving! I will never get tired of McKay waving at people.

- OPENING CREDITS. YEA.

- "Move." Good ol' McKay.

- Bwahahahaha. The suits are funny. How *do* they take themselves at all seriously?

- The ship reminds me of Firefly.

- "Why is the smart one having to stop and answer so many questions?" The *look* on Shep's face. :D

- SHEPPARD: Are you sure this is such a good idea?
McKAY: What's the matter, Colonel? Don't trust me?
SHEPPARD: No.
McKAY: Fine.
CALDWELL: You're proposing actually freezing yourself in one of those things?
McKAY: I should be able to tap into the neural network without actually initializing stasis. Look, it won't take long. I'll be in and out.
SHEPPARD: (gives McKay a look)
McKAY: (notices and gives him a look back...it's kinda wide eyed and earnest please-let-me-do-this and aw) Look, the quickest way to figure out what is going on in there is to tap into the system and communicate directly with the captain. Need I remind you of the obvious value in this?
TEYLA: But is it safe?
McKay: Would I be volunteering to go if it wasn't?
RONON: No.
SHEPPARD: Which is exactly what makes it safe enough for me to go.
McKAY: What?
SHEPPARD: Better to have you on the outside in case something goes wrong.
McKAY: It won't.
SHEPPARD: But if it does.
McKAY: It won't. How many times do I have to say this?
TEYLA: Rodney, between the two of you, if something were to go wrong which would be the greater loss?
McKAY: I've never thought of it that way, but--Hey, she's right. You should go.
This scene! Oh, this scene is, like, perfect. The looks between everyone...it's just fantastic.

Sheppard says he doesn't trust McKay, but he just trusted him to get the life support working and now he's trusting that if something goes wrong with the pod, McKay can fix it. And he trusts Rodney to get him out of there safely. Does John protest too much?

- "I was." Hee!

- Oh, the outfit. It's kind of sadly funny.

- Popsicle phaser things!

- I like the captain.

- Shep thinking himself out. And then the really excited look at the mention of the armory. Hehe.

- McKAY: Did you mention that that's impossible given that they're living in a virtual environment?
SHEPPARD: No Rodney, that slipped my mind.
McKAY: I would have thought that'd be the first thing tha--
SHEPPARD: Of course I mentioned it!

- Shep actually asking Caldwell his opinion on their plans. Hmm. Interesting.

- The flirting with the female officer is just...funny. Bwah!

- Ronon and Teyla! Ronon and numbers and counting!

- Rodney doesn't want to accidentally kill his boyfriend John! Aw.

- McKay's going in! "The thing is, Colonel Sheppard and I have sort of gotten into this habit of saving each other's lives and it's my turn." !!! "Could be your turn next." Oh, Rodney.

- TEYLA: Are you sure you want to do this?
McKAY: I'm sure I don't.
And the look and the voice just make that moment work like nothing else.

- And then Teyla forgets to send him in. Heh. Thumbs up!

- Oh, hey, Rodney said Shep's full name! "John" made it in there! We're getting closer to the day when he actually calls him John to his face.

- "The term is 'rakish.'"

- McKay kinda looks sad when Sheppard doesn't seem all that pleased he's there to help. "I feel better already," and Rodney just turns and stares at him for a moment while John's looking elsewhere.

- Teyla can BS like a pro! Ronon/Teyla!

- Synchronized sitting! I Dream of Jeannie!

- SHEPPARD: Hi.
McKAY: Hi.
SHEPPARD: Nice.

- SHEPPARD: That's her.
McKAY: That's the wraith?
SHEPPARD: Yeah.
McKAY: Wow. She's hot. I mean seriously hot.
SHEPPARD: Rodney, you're drooling over a wraith!
McKAY: I know. I...disgust myself sometimes.
But Shep's not gonna admit he was drooling, too.

- This whole hyperdrive scene. I *love* it.
SHEPPARD: There are wraith ships on the way?
McKAY: I'm...I'm sure I mentioned that.
SHEPPARD: No, you didn't.
McKAY: Well, it...it...it threw me when she was so hot.
.......
Aw. McKay didn't want to hurt Sheppard. He should appreciate the care.
SHEPPARD: That's very thoughtful of you, but now she knows all about Atlantis.
McKAY: You told her? (crosses arms) Why?

Yeah, seriously, just massive love all around.

- Not sure how I feel about McKay and the wraith. He *should* have just shot it in the head before anything happened? Maybe he just can't when it hasn't tried to attack him first? Mostly it's the firing wildly behind him that I'm not sure about.

- John and Rodney sitting together. Aw.

- Toast. Nice.

I really, really liked this episode. But they got *nothing* out of it. Nice to see some mention of the events in "Trinity." I don't think John doesn't trust Rodney as much as he says though. Because all of his actions seem to indicate otherwise.

Great team episode. Great Sheppard/McKay episode.

They lowered the ceilings, so you can't see the arrows above the elevators. Yesterday they put new arrows in on seven and they're off to the side and they go BING! everytime the elevator comes up.

BING. It's mildly annoying. I keep thinking it's, like, a hospital intercom coming on or something.
