So I was reading my TV Guide...

And this is what is says about the January 18th episode...

Talk about rotten timing. Just as McKay prepares to pop the question to Katie, the quarantine alarm sounds, initiating a lockdown throughout the city. McKay tried to uncover the virus that has infected Atlantis, while his comrades find themselves trapped in various sections of the city.

First of all, isn't this the exact same plot as Hot Zone?

Second of all, POP THE QUESTION TO KATIE WHAT? (I don't know, maybe everyone already knows this and I'm the last person to find out about it. Certainly wouldn't be the first time.) I hope the question has something to do with what her favorite carbonated beverage is, because as much as I love Katie, I don't think they should be getting married. And I really do like Katie. And I like Rodney/Katie. I think they're adorable and kind of awkward around each other and just generally really sweet together. But I don't know... I really don't think it has much to do with John/Rodney (though I'm sure it factors in(I'm really not trying to oppress you!)), it's just, they don't seem like they're ready to be married. They still seem sort of... hesitant around each other. Maybe. You know what I mean? Am I making any sense? This is all Jeannie's fault. She put these crazy ideas into Rodney's head.

Whatever, there's only an hour until MSNBC starts their Primary coverage, so I need to see if I can take over the TV for the rest of the day. *shakes fist* Damn you Comcast. You've made it VERY DIFFICULT for me to enjoy my program.

No seriously. I agree whole heartedly (and I do like Katie!) but... uh. They have shown them together a grand total of 4 times and they are still truly awkward. I would believe him marrying Teyla or Elizabeth more than Katie (cause at least they are more comfortable with each other you know?)

Also in me oppressing news: maybe this will be a catalyst for more Sheppard/McKay fights. OPPRESSHUN! ;)

Yes! Oh, good, I'm glad someone agrees with me. They're still so awkward together. And it's part of what makes them so cute, but it's not something that makes me think, oh they should get married.

You know it's really bad when they rip off their own eps for plots, not just old SG-1 eps. OY.

I know! I don't have a problem with them ripping off SG-1. That show was on for 10 years, it's bound to happen. But Atlantis is only in year four, you think they'd wait a while before ripping themselves off.

Whoa. I'm into Rodney and Katie together but marriage? No way. That's way too soon.

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

I just don't feel like they're comfortable enough with each other.

For some reason my first thought when I saw this was "Oh shit, they're gonna kill Katie." Which would suck, because I really like her. *scared*

[bubbles83.livejournal.com]

Oh, snap! I bet you're right. LAME! LAME! LAME!

[fannishnonsense]

I hope I'm wrong, but I bet I'm not. :(

I don't know how spoiled you want to be but I just made this post, which includes a spoilery poem and my thoughts on it. (http://bubbles83.livejournal.com/293045.html?#cutid1)

Waah? Rodney and Katie... They seem waaay off from marriage. They're barely shown interacting as it is. Hell, I bet Rodney goes on more 'dates' with John than he does with Katie

I know. I wouldn't have a problem with not showing their interactions if they weren't so weird around each other when we did see them together. That does not scream Ready To Get Married.
