Positivity

[melagan.livejournal.com]

Yes my friends, positivity - but a very special kind. Positivity Atlantis style!

Despite the obstacles and the odds ( many and slim ) somehow the members of the expedition hung on for five years. Another day maybe we'll explore some of that further, for now I'd like to chat about the things they did to survive and support each other.

Everything is game from the big - Defeating the Genii, Raising the City, Getting the upper hand on the Asurans -

To the small

Rodney taking care of Carson's baby turtles, John's Sudoku puzzles, Radek telling Elizabeth You are the loop. In other words anything that made you go - Awwww.

I recently re-watched Echoes and I couldn't help grinning every time Rodney said, "Oh there you are" to John. :-)

Echoes - The date episode *g*

[angelus2hot]

I loved 'The Shrine' when Rodney wanted to say goodbye to John and John wouldn't hear of it he just said: "You're stuck with me, Rodney. Just accept it." It makes me go awwwwww every single time.

Oh man, that scene makes my heart clench ♥

I love in Childhood's End where the kids keep gravitating towards Rodney. I laugh so much when Rodney tries to play the 'let's see who be quietest the longest' game and the little girl tells him that she's not really a quiet person. It makes me laugh every single time.

Rodney and children. That's a combination I never get tired of. He's so bad at it and yet they're drawn to him every time. I suspect it's because he is so horribly honest with them when most adults aren't.

Weddings, Plural, and a Yak (http://www.trickster.org/speranza/cesper/weddingsplural.html) is one of my favorite stories as far as showcasing Rodney's parenting skills.

Oh, geeze, yes, I have to reread that story every once in awhile. It's a great look at Rodney and parenting!

Oh, that leads to another awwww moment - when John's in the dart and he's holding Teyla's baby. He is so tender and sweet. Love that moment!

"The Shrine" where Rodney goes running through the corridors crying out for John, because no-one else will do.

because no-one else will do Yes!

Pretty much all of The Shrine actually. I was just talking to neevebrody last night about this and how Hewlett's acting just blew me away. Everyone stepped up their game in this episode.

Beer on the pier. Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. ;;;flails;;;

I love this question because I'm thinking through the eps and remembering all of those amazing moments.

In Hot Zone, I love the conversation between Rodney and Radek when Rodney thinks he's going to die. Seriously awesome moment.

[melagan.livejournal.com]

Oh gracious, yes! That entire conversation is priceless.

I adore Ronon's facial expression sitting at Teyla's bed in the infirmary in Echoes. And the moment when John brings the unconscious Elizabeth to infirmary is also one of my favourites.

Ronon has some gorgeous smiles. And he's so supportive of Teyla when she finally tells him and John she's expecting. *happy sigh*
