SGA: Sunday, or The One Where JF Looks Like Kyle Chandler

[foxxcub]

Okay, I HAVE to get this out of the way:

LORNE IS AN ARTIST OMFG THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DIE A SWEET, SWEET DEATH.

So yeah, that was going to be the extent of my post--I mean, now I finally know why he's an artist in fic all the time!--but then...oh god.


God. Carson. ;__;

I know, it probably wasn't the best kept secret, but for some reason I'd gotten it in my head that he just left and didn't actually die. Call it denial or whatever. But I didn't expect that at all.

I think the way they killed him sucked big time, much like the way The Lone Gunmen were offed on The X-Files; short, unceremonious, and very unfair to a well-loved character. Carson deserved better, Gero. He really, really did.

I'm desperately trying not to be shallow with the OMG-Lorne-and-Sheppard-in-dress-uniform flailage.

I didn't cry until the end, because Rodney in guilt/emo mode breaks me every time. Oh, Hewlett. When you play sad, you make me want to snuggle the bejeezus out of you.

But death aside, that entire ep was like one giant, glorious piece of fanfic. John teaching Ronon to golf? Teyla confessing a crush to random Mary Sue a friend? Elizabeth going on A DATE with Mike, The Scientist Made of Guh? Tell me that's not fanfic.

And gah, how much did I crave some Parrish when Rodney's with Katie in the botany lab. They seriously need to bring him back for Lorne.

I KNOW! ME TOO ME TOO...but all the hotness couldn't keep me from crying. I knew Carson was going to die - but I somehow thought maybe he was going to ascend instead of really dying...*weeps*

Your icon is making me get all choked up. :(

He did ascend. Yes. *still in denial*

How about when John said, "A girl or . . . a guy?" To Ronon?? Fanfic, purely so. lol

Yeah, I knew he'd die, but I didn't really cry until the bagpipes started. I mean, come one. Bagpipes. Rodney was far away so adorable this episode. But watching Ronon kick John's ass is like weapon porn. *sigh*

I saw that ep with the Lone Gummen yesterday. They're not dead. *nods* *sticks fingers in ears*

OH GOD, YES, and John being completely blase about it. Awesome. Although, I don't know if I completely buy Carson and Rodney being BFFs, as that's obvs John's role.

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

well of course Rodney and Carson were BFFs, John is Rodney's boyfriend

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Ahh, yes. I'm dumb. ;)

AWWWWW YOUR RODNEY AND CARSON ICON IS MADE OF LOVE!!!!! Awwwwwwwww.

[callmeri]

I simply do not know what you are talking about. Because the only thing that happened in this episode is....


JOHN AND RODNEY GOT MARRIED!

And John wore his dress blues for the wedding. :-D

Oh, and also? JOHN WAS MARRIED BEFORE OMG.

Also-also: Ronon called Sheppard "John"! ♥ ♥

*dies*

SO PRETTY. :D

[callmeri]

I love Rodney's tufty hair in that picture! :D

But seriously, as for Carson... Me and the leprechauns are just pretending that he had to go back to Earth for a while, to care for his wee turtles...

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

OMG THE TURTLES. ;_____;

THE SCIENTIST MADE OF GUH!!! YOU THOUGHT HE WAS A HOTTIE TOO!!! He was so freakin' scrumptious wasn't he? Oh man, I was "hells to the yeah, Elizabeth, guh". But like,e veryone on my f'list was all "he's pushy" and "he's presumptuous" and "he's smarmy" and I was just YOU'RE ALL INSANE, HE'S GORGEOUS! I totally lusted for him.

Carson dying. In a totally horrible, lameass way. Poo. I totally was choked up the entire next day. It was weird, when I watched it I was jsut to "OMG EXPLODING TUMORS NO YOU DIDN'T SGA!" but the next day I was all "Rodney's FACE," and "Rodney's PAIN!" and yeah... yeah, I miss Carson too, but mostly Rodney just killed me.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS "SMARMY"?! ARE THEY ON CRACK? Good god, he was such a gorgeous, gorgeous man, and if I'd been Weir, I'd been all over that like a dog in heat. I was literally yelling at her, "ELIZABETH, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! He's hot and he wants a date liek whoa, DO IT."

I wish Carson had at least died on a mission, you know? Then it would've actually seemed more...noble. Or something.

I don't know if you've seen it yet, but I think a very fitting death for Carson would've been in Phantoms, which is really the only time we've ever seen that Carson values the lives of others more than his own, where he's alla bout treating the wounded and sacrificing the other shit. It was also the only episode I'd ever loved him as HIM in it. I love him because he's adorable, but I nevr really cared about his character as anything deeper than "awww, Carsoncakes!" And I would have cried if he'd died in that episode. WAY better than exploding fucking tumors.

I've had Phantoms sitting on my hardrive waiting to be watched for awhile now, so I'll make an effort to watch it. I agree, though, that it's nice to actually see Carson being a character and not second banana to Rodney or whatever. I mean, sheesh, I LOVE Lorne, but the fact that he gets more character than Carson most of the time is kind of sad. :-/
