The Seed, Episode Reaction

Woolsey rocks my freaking socks off! Seriously... seriously. He has day planners, and imported mahogony desks, and oh, look at that, a leader that pulls someone into private area for a private talk instead of announcing it to the entire expedition! And OMG, yes, I love his hesitation, and his uber bureaucratic dorkiness.

Dear god...

I think I have some sort of strange crush on Woolsey.

...ah, I'll get over it I'm sure.

(However, I totally need a Woolsey icon now... possibly with pens and pocket protectors.)

And Carson! Squee! Nice to not be reminded that he's a clone every five minutes, because unlike "The Kindred" he felt like Carson. Although the haircut has to go, I'm sorry. It's not the fifties anymore Carson. The rooster look was better. Maybe it's a really bad case of Stasis Hair?

And Rodney (quietly) volunteered to brave tentacle land to play hero. Oh, Rodney. Sad that you disappeared for all those minutes without butting in, because some running snarky commentary would have been funny, but probably interfered with the mood, so granted, that's just the fangirl in me talking. However, the scene in the beginning with Teyla and Keller? More of that, please. That was nice, as well as a nod to the fact that Kanaan did not die horribly and is indeed becoming human again. Oh, and the ATA/Jumper thing was addressed and... and... oh writers, bless you for giving us continuity!

Oh, and thank you [profile] jcjoeyfreak, when Radek was attacked by the crawly stuff, do you know what I was thinking? Of course you do! And Ronon so got tentacle pwn'd.

Next week looks fun, but in deference to those not wanting to be spoiled, I'll save any thoughts/speculation for another post.

Oh, and one more thing.

Five years into the show, and finally we've been shown the freaking lightswitches!

Er, I don't have any particular attachment to Ancient Lightswitches for any reason. And I totally didn't order a shirt for ComicCon last night that might deal with the same subject matter.

And finally... squee! I <3 my show!

How sad is it that I squeed at the light switch? Hee! And I loved the continuity as well - the missing jumper, Kanaan, the baby (who was taking care of him during the crisis?), Carter in isolation, a mention of Weir, iratus bugs, turning into a bug, the retrovirus to cure the hybrids (finally a good use!).

And I thought Woolsey was perfect!

Don't get me started on the Shep whump. I'll be here all night.

<-- Shep whump, just for you.

How sad is it that I squeed at the light switch?

Not sad because I totally squeed and like high fived myself for that one! Just show me mundane everyday Ancient tech, I'm good. Man, if they show us a toilet I'll probably just have some sort of mental breakdown of happy... that would be a little sad, come to think of it.

And yes, to every single continuity thing mentioned! I also had the thought of who got elected for babysitting duty... maybe it was Chuck! I don't recall seeing him at the console this eppy, just his female counterpart. So not only is he the Chucknician, but he's also the Chucksitter!

Man... I wish I could explain my fascination/obsession with Woolsey. I think it stems from the fact that when they first announced Weir leaving the show, he was my main pick for her replacement... and also possibly because I already have an awesome fic idea that can totally be S5 canon now.

Oh, I wish I had read this before I posted my review...then I would have named you as the other person I knew who wanted Woolsey last year when it was announced Weir wouldn't be back.

HA! Chucksitter! Wish I had thought of that term.

And, yes, you need to go with that awesome fic idea.

I think the Woolsey as expedition leader was a joint brain child. I'd have to go search through our e-mails to be sure. I just know that it made a heck of a lot of sense at the time! Great minds, right?

HA! Chucksitter! Wish I had thought of that term.

I can totally pretend like you made it up, especially since I'm so stealing some of your prose for the bar scene edits. It's an even swap ;)

And, yes, you need to go with that awesome fic idea.

Soon... soon my fic obligation plate will be free. Then I shall conquer the world! (Or sleep some more)
