Cryostar, I hope you get to see it soon!

This is the guy who in season 3, almost 9 years since Melena had died, said he wasn't ready yet to look for someone new. It's going to take him longer than the little time we have left. If all it takes is that a girl knows some fighting moves then why did he *never* make a move on Teyla?

I see him respecting Amelia for her ability to take care of herself, just as he respects Teyla and Sheppard for doing the same. If the PTB insists on making more out of it than that, then there really will be no reason for me to start watching again (I stopped after 5x10)... but then again, I'm not sure I want to start watching again, anyway. I'm still waiting for some better news. Ronon suddenly hooking up with a girl just because she can fight is not something I want to see...

Spoiler:

To be honest, I was hoping for a Ronan and Keller pairing, but since she is now with McKay, the writers probably feel obligated to write a love interest for him considering everyone else has had one lately and they probably feel sorry for him. Plus, I think they have been trying to find a way to introduce Banks into the show and they probably thought that this would be the best way - whether she ends up with Ronan or not doesn't really matter, I do think that they wrote it well though.

It's a great show, I really don't see why you would want to stop watching. But I guess everyone has different tastes.

Spoiler:

It's the McKeller thing I just can't stand to watch. I had a hard enough time with those few bits in The Last Man. The pairing just makes me squick. I had every intention to watch The Last Tribe, but when I heard about a certain Ronon/Keller scene at the end, I just decided not to. Why put myself through the aghony of having my ship be destroyed if there is not going to be any good news for me later on.

This is how I did it with Gilmore Girls season 7. I did not start watching the show again until the horrors that was Lorelai/Chris was over.

And considering I am writing a Ronon/Keller fic atm, I just can't let myself watch episodes that may take away my creative spark.

I am waiting to see what comes next. If the rest of the show is the McKeller show, then I will have spared myself the aghony by not watching, if it turns around and I get some good news, then watching the journey will be worth it.

I was really just feeling left out, and wanted to use the spoiler tags again. Hi Nikki!

Well, Teyla and Ronan were only in the opening and closing scenes so booo to that. I knew something fishy was going on with Zelenka, that mysterious new doctor (Vanessa), and Kolya almost from the start because they were acting oddly, but I wasn't sure exactly what was happening. I'm not sure how I feel about Shen Xiaoyi's behavior, I don't remember her being so... devious(?) before. Not sure how to describe it. I guess I don't hate the episode, just not satisfied with it.

Kristen00 · 11-16-2008, 04:43 AM

smeagolkitten, I see where you're coming from. From my perspective, its a science fiction show, no matter what pairings occur during the events of the series they tend not to be the main focus of the episodes. So while I love a little romance thrown in here and there, it doesn't put me off in the long run when things don't work out the way that I would want them too.

Spoiler:

I won't lie however, I was depressed when they killed off Michael. For three seasons I had been kind of hoping him and Teyla would have a 'thing' and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one....come on, its Michael. *wink-wink-nudge-nudge* I wish I could have had a 'thing' with him, despite his evilness and the fact that he's a fictional character.

But I guess that's out of the picture now, considering he's dead and she was the one who killed him.

I can understand that you don't want to kill your buzz while you're writing a fanfiction, but I can safely say that it hasn't turned into the McKeller show yet. Haha.

Oh, and I just wanted to add that I liked the new episode, it had a different feel to it.

I liked the new episode, but I want more Teyla and Ronon. I guess I don't understand why there aren't more team episodes. I mean, Grey's has a cast of 40,000 and they all get plenty of screentime.

I have three words for you.
I HAVE CABLE.

Saw the last two episodes of Atlantis.

Yes, I am a happy woman.

Just starting to read some of the Spoiler post and it's so nice to know I am not the only one who isnt feeling McKeller. My sister compleltly adores them together but personally I think they just sprung the whole thing on us. The last ep of the 4th season was enough for me.

I loved the latest episode, poor Chuck though *Pats head* lol.

AAVaria been meaning to ask you who is on your avatar?

**~*Nikki*~** · 11-17-2008, 07:45 PM

Aww see I like McKeller. I might be the only one around here.

I get cracked up at Jason's god-awful wig. It just looks horrible.

No, I'm a McKeller shipper too!

I did see Ronan/Keller in "Quarantine", but "The Last Man" made me fall in love w/ McKeller.

pink & white cookies · 11-18-2008, 08:09 PM

I like McKeller too. I thought their interaction in the Shrine was very nice.

ITA on Jason's wig. They need to give him a reason to cut it and let the wig go.

Was this before I just changed it?

It used to be Eve Myles who plays Gwen in Torchwood

Its now Katie McGrath who plays Morgana in Merlin

I'm not the biggest McKeller fan... But I think its okay...
