bubbles83My fannish rage, let me show you it.
Okay, that's a lie. It's been long enough that it's not really rage. More like simmering resentment.
They killed Kate. And I just... I don't think I can even talk about it now. It wasn't even a good death! She died in a dream. They couldn't have given her something cool to do? Fight Wraith, beat some Replicators, break the fourth wall and beat whoever wrote this episode with the script. Something. But really... just... ugh. I don't want to talk about it.
And while I'm on the subject of things I don't like about this episode, way to have Rodney's Moby Dick whale fear come out of nowhere. You think that might have come up in Grace Under Pressure or I don't know, ECHOES. John and Rodney go on a whale date for God's sake.
There were things I liked though. If it wasn't for That Thing happening, I think this would have been one of my favorite episodes ever. It's like a John/Rodney goldmine. And I don't think Teyla/Kate could have gotten more canon.
Everyone's dreams were interesting. Ronon running around an empty Atlantis was pretty heartbreaking. Teyla is horrified by the thought that people think she has a thing for John. Kate feels like John is always between her and Teyla. And John is afraid of Rodney dying. BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LOVE. He looked so small and alone in his dream when everyone was blaming him for Rodney's death.
And you know, there was the whole going into each other's dreams thing. BECAUSE THEY ARE BOYFRIENDS.
And the Flan is totally a hotass when he's all creepy and evil.
There are other things I liked, but I don't actually remember what they are, so I'm going to go cry for a while now.
ETA: Huh. Somehow I disabled comments on this entry. Not sure how I did that. But feel free to comment away!
