SGA 516

[katikat]

Another disappointment. Do the writers realize that SGA should be about a team of people? Lately, all we get are episodes with one or two characters at a time and that's all. Are the four of them - John, Rodney, Ronon and Teyla - even still a team? It seems to me like the writers totally lost their ability to write stories about more than two people at once.

The beginning was good, John and Ronon making fun of Rodney and Jennifer, Jennifer telling Rodney that he could simply ask her out. And then, it went downhill fast.

It started on the plane. Jennifer started to nag about how Rodney was doing this wrong and that wrong and how he should behave this way and that way... Who do you love Jennifer? The real Rodney McKay or your dream guy from when Rodney was infected during The Shrine? It was really irritating because Jennifer doesn't like exactly what makes Rodney himself. He's not a nice guy, he's abrasive and acerbic and perpetually in a bad mood. If he tries to shape himself to Jennifer's wishes, what will be left of him?

And at the facility... In two minutes I got fed up with Jennifer doing the mom to everybody's inner sixth grader because yes, Jennifer knows always best. And she totally dismissed Rodney's warning. I mean, if after all this time she still doesn't understand that when Rodney warns someone to be careful he has good reasons... She was more concerned with the fact that he was embarrassing her.

I'm sorry, I like Keller but in this episode? I couldn't stand her.

Oh, and the solution? It went down so fast that you could blink and miss it. I mean, it was totally out of proportion to the magnitude of the problem.

I think I missed most of the ep... it didn't hold my interst at all. Except for Bill Nye the science guy - who I love.

I freely admit that I find the McKeller pairing ridiculous. He moons over her and she criticises every thing he does. I mean, when they aren't even a couple yet and she already tries to change the way he communicates with people and talks and what he thinks and does... Then there's something wrong with it.

i don't find anything wrong witht he pairing, as a concept but the way it's shaking out on the screen - not so good. This was the first ep that made me say "Yeah, OK, this can be over"
