In which Zin considers breaking out the citalopram again, and also abuses caps lock a lot...

Show, if you do this to me again I swear I will break up with you!

I was spoiled to high heavens for this episode, and sat down fully expecting to have my heart broken again, but JESUS... Oh, Rodney!  He spent 25 years to get John back. 25 years. He gave up his job to teach college physics. He lost everything and everyone, and still found a way to fix. it. You know, Rodney, this is why I love you so much. You whine and you complain and you never fail to see the downside of every possible situation, but you always come through in the end. Even if it takes you 25 effing years.

To everyone who doesn't like Rodney: YOU'RE WRONG! DO YOU HEAR? WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Who else would DO that? Who else would actually SUCCEED?

I also love the ratty old-man cardigan. Just saying.

So, Michael is veiny and evil. *shudders* And I hate that Teyla's baby can't be a normal baby. I hate that it has to be the key to the destruction of the galaxy. I hate that she can't just have this, that she's not allowed to be the mother she so clearly is. (Teyla will be a kick-ass mom. I can imagine her son in the schoolyard. "My mom can beat your mom up with sticks!")

Sam! Oh, Sam! Going down with her ship. And Ronon, teaming up with Todd. And than little smile just before he... WAIL! YOU CAN'T BREAK MY HEART LIKE THIS! I WILL HAVE NO HEART LEFT! AND I NEED MY HEART FOR LIVING!

I'm completely all right with Rodney/Keller by the way. They had both lost everything and they needed each other. John was gone. Ronon was dead. So yeah, they deserved the time they got together.

COME ON, WHAT THE FUCKING KIND OF FUCKING CLIFFHANGER IS THAT????? WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MONTHS FOR SEASON 5???? AM I A SICK PERSON FOR FINDING EVEN OLD!RODNEY HOT AS HELL????? DOES ANYONE HAVE A VALIUM, PLEASE?????

And now I'm going to have to write something disgustingly fluffy to ease my heartache. I warn you, there might be puppies.

Being in um, Sweden(?), you probably didn't pick this up, but Rodney didn't teach college physics, he taught community college physics (2 year schools where you get a lower degree than at university and where people often go before they transfer to a four year school). Which for him is definitely a far less prestigious position than teaching at a university. The implication being, I think, that he needed to have less responsibility so that he could concentrate on saving John. :)

Oh, I didn't know that! We have something similar in Sweden but I didn't catch the connection. I did get that he needed less responsibility and more time for the John-saving though. Which is still sad, because he had to work on it more or less alone for 25 years. I want all versions of Rodney to be happy.

yea, teaching in a 4 year college would require politics, office hours, publishing papers, lecture tours, lab hours, etc, etc. Stuff Rodney doesn't want to devote time for, so he goes for a less time consuming route
