katikat | Done with SGA's S3! \o/

OMG, I'm done with SGA's S3! Submersion, Vengeance and First Strike it was for me last night *bounces* To sum up my reactions...

Submersion: What is it with Sheppard and the Wraith queens? They adore to make him kneel, caressing his face with their claws. I wonder if they like his smell, you know, the ATA gene and all, or what?! Oh my, Teyla kicked Ronon's ass! And I actually believed that the five-foot-nothing Rachel could do it! Awesome :)

Vengeance: That was one helluva creepy episode. All the references to Alien were pretty funny! I loved aggressive!Ronon with the whole "No, this time we will kill him!" attitude. Oh, and the "fight" between Ronon and McKay at the very beginning! Ha! And the face-off between Sheppard and Michael! The director, Andy Mikita, and the creature-guy, Todd what'shisname, loved the scene. They talked about how well Joe Flanigan and Connor Trinneer worked together and that between the takes, Joe was riding on his skateboard and Connor was just awesome to hang out with. It's great to hear that :) They thought that this was Joe's best ep. Oh, I also loved McKay's reaction to Sheppard's "It's not Ronon."

First Strike: Where to begin with that... Let's just say, the best season finale so far! The special effects, the interaction between the characters, the new characters... I'm probably in the minority here, but I loved the way they introduced Keller - nervous, jumpy, uncomfortable with her position. I quite like her :) The balcony scene with Sheppard, Ronon and Teyla. Ronon following Sheppard like a puppy again :D Sheppard and McKay talking in "shorthand" and Zelenka not following - oh my, the look they exchanged when they both figured out the solution at very same moment! Sheppard's "Why don't you make out and get over it!" And Atlantis frickin' flying! Awesome! Oh, and the shorty short scene with hurt!Ronon and Sheppard... Great! Fantastic!

There were also some overall things that I loved. I loved the fact that in the last three eps after the whole Carson thing, the characters seemed... subdued, not all that snarky and funny. They didn't mention what had happened to Beckett but it clearly influenced everybody. I don't know if the writers did that on purpose but it really felt that way. There weren't many McShep scene there, true, but there were some awesome, awesome scene with Sheppard and Ronon. They actually talked! And I adored the little pats and touches - like, Ronon is always touching Sheppard: on his shoulder, laying a hand on the small of Sheppard's back... And when Sheppard knelt down next to hurt!Ronon, I loved it!

I'm so impressed with the series like you wouldn't believe it! But even though I have S4 downloaded, I will wait for the DVDs to arrive, I guess. It's just somehow... better... to watch the show on the official DVDs, with commentaries and specials and all :)

Besides, I have so many shows to watch/catch-up on. I have yet to see Numb3rs and NCIS season finale! And the pre-aired pilots of Fringe, Leverage and The Mentalist! And I need to watch Riptide - *hugs her Riptide friends* - and Scarecrow and Mrs. King because the summer shows are starting and my HDD is on the verge of exploding! *head/desk*

But now, work first *sigh*
