running commentary through Brain Storm
I've never done this with an episode before.
How much do I love hearing about what the other physicists think of Rodney because he's Too Top Secret For Them? (Also, John is fixating. Ronon is bitter. This is a fabulous combination. 9_9)
His eyelashes are so pretty. Hm? Oh, and he asked Jennifer out. Whatevs.
*yells OH MY GOD at screen and flails and laughs* It's the guy from Kids In The Hall!
Never trust an overconfident freckly scientist with a gap between his front teeth. C'mon now, guy.
...Is that a satin pinstriped tux, Rodney? :D
Hi, desk guy. Security desk guy. STOP BEING AN ASS. *smack*
"Dinosaurs?" Oh, Rodney. <3
*giant fangirl scream* Bill Nye just recognised Rodney bestillmyheart <3 <3 <3
Oh, dude, it's the guy Sam asked Keller about in the box. *facepalm*
;o; Bill Nye is picking on Rodney.
My heart
I think it's broken
I love the face Rodney makes when Jennifer says "Not everything has to be a competition, Rodney" -- have you noticed this keeps coming up? This is at least the second, maybe the third time this season.
Jennifer. I realise you think you're making him a better person. Please, for the love of God and small fluffy kittens, stop.
Rondey: "If he's so worried about global warming, why did he fly us here in a private jet? It spews out more CO2 than Sweden."
Good point!
HE STOLE THE BRIDGE! D| And Rodney won't be able to prove it because it's super-classified! D|
"That's my bridge! My sister and I came up with that!"
No, Jennifer, stopping the Very Important Safety Point because you're embarrassed is a bad idea! Not that any of these dickwads would listen.
Boy do I ever hope this guy is arrested by the SGC and/or dead by the end of this.
D| I hate this. Rodney is being humiliated in front of basically all his most respected peers -- who make fun of him. The only reason I'm still watching is because I want to see him save the day and get his own.
Fuck.
...I cannot believe Jennifer is wearing those boots with that dress.
Shit. Rodney is going to get accused of sabotaging the device.
HA.
Nye: Why can't we destroy it, just bash it apart?
Rodney: *using his 'you're an idiot' voice* Because that could create a tear in our space-time?
Nye: ...Nevermind, then.
Rodney: Yeah.
Jennifer discovers that telling a room full of brilliant physicists to work together results in a room full of arguing physicists. I cannot believe that, after being trapped in a box with Rodney and Sam, she did not already know this.
Jennifer does the Minmei call of "can't we all work together" for a second time to shame the brilliant geniuses. Joy.
Standard stargate story telling: just when it looks like things might start to be okay, throw in a complication. In this case, the freeze lightning has wrecked the communications room just as Kramer caved to calling the military.
RODNEY MCKAY: GENTLEMAN. Kramer and Tunney are huddling in their suit jackets, he's taking his off to give to Jennifer and walking around like he's fine.
ILU RODNEY! <3 I always knew you were hot-blooded!
As soon as Jennifer runs off to Heroically Call Sam Carter, Rodney yells at everyone to get out and let him think. I can't help but think he's doing it because it's obvious these people don't know how to make the hard decisions.
Show of hands everyone who figured Jennifer would have a close encounter with the freeze lightning. ._. *hand up*
Hey, and she's trapped, too!
Like usual.
At least she hasn't gotten kidnapped in the woods today.
YET.
Hey, the containment field failed! Too bad Jennifer's phone is dead, it'd work now. Gee, does anyone else have a cell in the building I wonder? :o
"Hey, I'm Dr. Rodney McKay, alright; difficult takes a few seconds, impossible -- a few minutes." And he did his little hands-out dance.
ILU SO MUCH RODNEY ;o;
I'd really like to think that the SGC or someone would notice the sudden appearance of a supertornado-generating massive cold front in the middle of a desert. Just maybe.
Tunney: You're smarter than me.
Ely: *screams YES and pumps fists*
Rodney: I know.
Ely: ;o; ILU!!!!!!!
And then he runs off to save the girl! Because he's an action hero now.
But you know what, he still runs like he did in Scanners II; he kicks his heels up like a little girl. XD I love it!
Hee! XD Nye smacked Tunney. Okay, Nye. I might forgive you.
"Man up!" AHAHAHAHHAHA
Oooh an axe! :D
PUTCHO BACK INNIT, RODNEY!
...Tunney will have saved the day. FUCK.
:( Jennifer confessed her love.
OH FAIL/WIN SHE QUOTED HIS CONFESSION
Okay, well, you know what, she annoys me but at least she's not Katie. She does actually have a spine.
Also Rodney is essentially dating a girl Carson with nicer hair.
HE'S GONNA CRY ;o;
*applauds* Rodney is man enough to say that yes, it does matter to him who gets the credit, and she needs to know that.
And his contract with the SGC is coming up for renewal? He might quit?? D: Jennifer's right, he loves his job, but at the same time -- D:
Rodney is officially getting laid for the first time since he first showed up in SG-1!
Awww. The kissing is cute. He's one of the few people I can watch kiss. This is more like what we saw in Century Hotel than how he had Cadman kissing people in "Duet". ;3
So, in summation: Shep is either pining or shipping McKay/Keller, Rodney saves the day, saves the girl, saves his rep, gets the girl, and there's a homily about global warming. I didn't hate it, by the end. I hope for many beautiful Rodney screencaps.
eta: All the nerds at least know Rodney has a sister, one who might possibly be interested in a physics conference. This amuses me.
Also, in "The Last Man", Rodney did become the reclusive shut-in these people assumed him to be, which is kinda sad-making. And presumably they all died, because he didn't save them!

Astrophysicist, specifically. Right now he hosts a program full of science-y stuff called NOVA scienceNOW that airs on PBS. He also shows up on the History Channel sometimes for stuff that involves physics or space.
GET THAT MAN A CRAVAT!
