more thoughts (opinions) on SGA

[mickeym]

Up to S5 now, currently watching The Shrine. Why is it the eps about Rodney are the ones that make me cry the most? The Tao of Rodney? Reduces me to tears quick as *that*. *sigh*

I do love that it's John Rodney's calling for, needing to see, in this ep.

However: I do not like Dr. Keller. I mean, I like her okay as *her character* (aside from the fact that she was pretty useless when she and Teyla got surrounded on New Athos, but anyway)...but as a love interest for Rodney? Bleh. Why'd they have to do that? No one else had love interests in the show, other than the occasional blip (Beckett and Cadman, Weir's lunch and kiss with whatshisname in S3, John's occasional fling with the random alien chick). So, why Rodney? And why push it so HARD on us? It went from nothing to *boom*, in seconds flat.

I wish we could've seen Jeannie more than we did. That would've been nice :)

SGA is on our "watch together" list. Most of it is a re-watch for me, but I missed S5, and my S4 was spotty. Just as soon as we watch up to the appropriate place in SG:1. We're talking maybe months, here. But we'll get there.

My theory is that Martin Gero, the one writer for SGA, was using Rodney as a Gary Stu, because he (Gero, not Rodney) had such a giant boner for Keller. Actually, it's not just *my* theory -- a lot of fandom wtf'ed over that storyline and came to the same conclusion.

It's been three years and I'm still butthurt about how that show went out. D:
