The Seed, Episode Reaction

[greyias]

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 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.

*snicker*

Poor Zelenka, good thing rambo!Teyla saved him! As I do not really want to think about Zelenka and tentacles crawling up his pant leg, trying to get into his pants.

Stupid tentacles. All I could think when it speared John like shish kabob was that IT MISSED. We're not supposed to make new holes, you stupid tentacle. Just.. use the ones.. that are... there. I kinda want to write fic now. oO

Rodney going to visit Carson and talking with him while he was in stasis. I feel a missing scene ficlet coming on! And the light switch, so glad to see that I'm not the only one who went "So that's how they turn the lights on!". Lots of little holes filled in and that was nice. Still, the talking alien bit? Yawn...
And finally, Carson's hair...yeah, what's up with that? Maybe he just needs someone to muss it up for him. Overall, it was good to watch a new episode!

Loved Woolsey. I loved the way Rodney pushes him in the conference room (quick aside - mahogany table? Snerk! What did Caldwell think about having to bring that on his ship?) with the hybrids and Woolsey pushes back!! I also loved the end scene with Sheppard and his 'welcome to the Pegasus Galaxy' bit! Ah, poor Woolsey, he's not sure he can lead them, but he did good in this episode, listening to his people, and talking to them about his dilemma with whether to kill Keller or risk another life to try and save her etc...

Carson - squee!! And Rodney talks to him in stasis - how many fics have I read with that in? At least two spring to mind, and I'm sure there are others (or will be now!!)!!

Keller and Rodney are sweet - looking forward to seeing what happens with that...and don't forget Ronon likes her too... Uh oh, do I sense trouble?! And for someone who's not normally into ship, why am I so excited about this?!

And Ancient lightswitches - and making hiveships - and ATA genes and hybrids - and mentions of turning into a bug...!!

Um, think my thoughts are a bit scattered - sorry!!

Mustn't forget when Rodney tells Carson his 'symptoms' and Carson's response of 'nothing unusual then' (or words to that effect) cracked me up!! Ah, how well Carson knows Rodney!! But one day, Carson or Jennifer are going to assume Rodney's just being Rodney when something really is wrong with him...Hmm, fic idea, anyone?!

EDITED: 'Cos I've got myself a Woolsey icon now!!!

Bwa! Same reaction! when she turned her light off I jumped with total technogeeky glee! ROFL! Yay for not being the only TOTAL GEEK! LOL!

And I agree with everything you said. Natch.

I know! I was so glad to see that!

Yeah, Stasis Hair is a problem--but I won't complain as long as we get to keep Carson, even if we don't see him every week. Well, I won't complain much.
