katikatOMG, the episode Echoes was simply awesome! I've watched it three times already and I can't get enough *vbg* It's very original and interesting, there's action, special effects, h/c and incredibly cute Sheppard/McKay banter! This episode made me so very very happy!
My favorite scenes? The puddle jumper ones! And deaf!Rodney and deaf!Sheppard in the infirmary. Ha! A petulant Ronon - Jason does petulant so well *g* - and him falling asleep while meditating with Teyla. All the scenes with Teyla and Ronon were cute, how he cared for her and held her hand, my heart just melted, really *happy* The bickering between John and Rodney was incredible in this ep, like really. The glare John gave Rodney when Rodney almost hit him with his fist in the corridor! And it was John who came up with a plan! I love me some smart!Sheppard. Oh, and... "Pigeons!" 'nough said *giggles*
McKay: There you are.
Weir: Rodney, I told you-
McKay: Oh no not you I mean Sheppard.
Weir: Thank you.
(McKay speaks very rapidly)
McKay: Oh I mean not that I don't want to talk to you, when you can be a part of this conversation, in fact I think you'll find it every bit as interesting as-
Sheppard: What are you saying?
(Sheppard comes up behind McKay, who is looking out at the sea)
McKay: Huh. Hey, how long have you been standing there?
Sheppard: Hour or so.
McKay: What? Why didn't you say anything? I feel like a...oh. It's the kidding.
McKay: I've been monitoring Sam on the underwater scanner.
Sheppard: Stop calling him that.
McKay: Why?
Sheppard: It's creepy
McKay: No it's not. Look. Here he is circling the city. He's been doing this for a while. Won't leave.
Sheppard: You didn't feed him did you?
McKay: No!
Sheppard: So, these, uh, whales. Did the Ancients say they’re good eating?
McKay: Oh, you wouldn’t!
Sheppard: I would.
Weir(to Sheppard, about Rodney): How’s he doing?
Sheppard: I don’t know. He’s taking a while. A lot longer than he usually takes.
McKay: He can hear you, you know!
Sheppard: Yeah. We know.
Weir: Yeah, but the whales were aware this was happening.
McKay: Well, a lot of animals--whales, dolphins...
Zelenka: Pigeons.
McKay: Are affected by the tiniest anomalies in the magnetosphere. It's as if their internal compasses were somehow, well...pigeons?
Zelenka: Yeah, homing pigeons. I used to raise them before coming here. We used to consult solar charts before our pigeon races.
McKay: Pigeon races?
Weir: Rodney!
Sheppard(over the radio): Colonel Caldwell? This is Sheppard.
Caldwell: Go ahead, Colonel.
Sheppard: I think we have a plan.
McKay: We do?
McKay: This is not a good plan.
Sheppard: Sure it is.
McKay: You realise just how close we’ll have to get to the sun?
Sheppard: Pretty damned close, I’m thinkin’.
McKay: Suicidally close. I mean, we’ll be toast.
Sheppard: Rodney?
McKay: It’s over.
Sheppard: And we’re not toast.
McKay: We’re not toast!
Sheppard: Good plan, huh?
SGA fic rec!
MCSHEP --> The "Summer House" series by rageprufrock. It's a Xover with Eureka. Rodney and an injured Sheppard come to live in Eureka for some time until the local doctors find a way to heal John. And of course, they cause chaos, much to Sheriff Carter's amusement.
This fic made me realize how much I miss Eureka! I can't wait for it to start airing again in a couple of weeks. After I finish watching SGA, I think I will do an Eureka marathon! *nods*
So, I ordered the due South box set. They dropped the price to $29.99 and I just couldn't resist any longer. And wow, I didn't know that the series was called "the show that wouldn't die"! Apparently, it was canceled and they started already tearing down the sets when it was picked up again and Paul Gross became not just the actor but also the writer and producer and singer etc. etc. And the way the character ended in the series finale? The actors could decide for themselves how they wanted their character to end. I think it's cool :)
