You captured my thoughts on this - it was a fun, fun episode and not to be taken too seriously!! Plenty of snark and it showed John and Rodney's sibling-like relationship well. I also loved the bratty princess. The acting was great from Joe, David and Jodelle. I especially loved all the facial expressions from our two boys! LOL!
The mini-drones are from Never Stop Moving by Tipper. Joe Mallozzi says the writers aren't allowed to read fanfic so it would appear to be a great minds think alike thing.
That painting still has me laughing whenever I think of it - and it's the Rambo-Rodney on it that really cracks me up, not so much poor cowering John (though that is funny too)! Ah, 13 year old brats!! And 39/40 year old ones too...hands up who thinks McKay's taken a photo of the painting and loaded it onto Altantis' internet?!! LOL!
And I wouldn't worry too much about being jossed on the family stuff, especially if it's already AU. I've had a few canon stories jossed and so now I call them AU if anyone asks! It happens when you write for an ongoing programme, and the readers tend to understand this.
McKAY: This is obviously some sort of huge misunderstanding, all right? I am Doctor Rodney McKay. I'm a close personal friend of Ladon Radim ... ... you know, your leader? I'm your greatest ally! You don't know who I am? I'm the genius scientist, the friend of John Sheppard. I gave you the bomb! ... No? Nothing? What do they teach you in Genii school?!
