Sateda squee

[admiralandrea.livejournal.com]

I'm rewatching all the eps from the beginning and today, Sateda came up on the roster. I love so many things in this episode - Ronon being all self-sacrificing, the scene with the unnamed Major in the infirmary with Rodney - where he calls the team the guy with the messy hair, the pretty girl and the caveman. John going toe-to-toe with Caldwell over rescuing Ronon. John in the leather jacket. John in the tac vest with Ronon's blaster sticking out of it. Carson and Rodney's conversation in the Daedalus infirmary.

But best of all, is this scene with Teyla and John, which gives us everything we came to love about the team as family, John's inability to talk about feelings and Teyla's ability to interpret what he's trying to say, the whole leave no-one behind ethos. Today, this scene made me cry, especially Teyla's "thank you for everything you meant to say" to John at the end.

This is one of my favorite episodes for all of the reasons that you've given above.

Welp, I should go rewatch this as well! (The part where John gives Ronon his gun always makes my heart pitter-pat as well: so much trust!) *digs out DVDs*

And Ronon later hugging Carson! *bwee*

This whole episode is such a gem. When John hands Ronon his gun, just...EEE. Rodney working so hard to find Ronon's signal...Teyla just wonderfully gobsmacked that they would go this far for Ronon.

But also in this scene, where John tries to articulate and Teyla fills in (in one case completely getting it wrong, heh) - it's obvious he's actually trying really hard. Joe does a terrific acting job in this scene...I love when John finally breaks through and the right words come blurting out. A lot of people misinterpret John as someone who holds things back, but it's obvious that he *wants* to say things, he just *can't.*

Oh, John Sheppard.
