Evan Lorne in Every Episode - Tao of Rodney (S03E14)

It's been a good while since we've seen the good Major. He comes back in this episode and of course there's very few good opportunities for a decent screen shot or two.

Nevermind, next episode is The Game 😏

Radek said fuck in show?

Yup. It's in Czech 🇨🇿 but imo it counts.

"Do prdele" it's an equivalent for "Shit" or "Fuck." He says it to John in the submersible jumper (Grace Under Pressure) and to Evan on the Daedalus. (No Man's Land.)

He says "Já se už na to můžu vysrat," to Rodney when he's in the chair being a dick. Basically he's saying "Fuck it" or "Fuck this." e.g. Rodney is being an ass so fuck this. (Tao of Rodney.)

I think that's all of them. Hopefully my Czech is still on point for these translations @all-mighty-yaoiyuri is the Czech who checks my Czech.

It's been awhile though! 💛💚

What's not to love about this episode?

This is one of those episodes I like to watch privately because it always makes me cry. (Not a public crier, which is funny because I cry very easily, at everything. If I'm happy, I cry. If I'm sad, I cry. If I'm angry, I cry.)

I love Rodney's story arc. He goes from doing lots of big things for the world, for the SGA, for Atlantis, all while trying to ascend. But, it's not until he starts doing things for HIS people specifically that he starts finding peace. He has to show love, not to the world, not even to Atlantis, but to Teyla, Ronon, Elizabeth, Radak, and in a way, Sheppard and Carson before he can ascend or save himself.

I love Elizabeth telling Sheppard he has to help Rodney and that Rodney has to let him because she knows Sheppard is who Rodney listens to, but they're both not good with emotional stuff, so she orders them.

But, what I love best about this episode is that what really fixes Rodney, gives him the space he needs to figure the problem out, and allows him to "release his burdens" is knowing that his people love him. I think he must carry some deep-seated fears that he's unlovable. I think Sheppard fears he's going to hurt his people or be unable to rescue them or not be there when they need him. Rodney fears that no one loves him. That's why he's kinda mean. If he keeps everyone at arm's length, he doesn't have to worry about whether they love him or not. He won't get hurt if he just assumes no one likes him. Then he gets to Atlantis, and he's needed, and he's saving people, and now it actually matters, and they actually matter. Rodney desperately wants to be loved even if he's unlovable. So, when Elizabeth says that they all love him, and they affirm that to him, he can 'ascend.'

And this is why Ronon's hug at the end is so important. They weren't just saying this because Rodney was dying, and they didn't just love him for what he could do for them. They love him. Rodney McKay. Ronon, the big lug, just gave him the most genuine hug. We've seen Ronon hug Sheppard, or toss him around, in the Return. We've seen him be gentle with Teyla, but this is the episode where we see his love for Rodney.

I do love this episode. Even if I have to wait for days to find a good time to watch it.

@sheppardsmckay this one is about your favorite. 🖤

🤝 for Live Oak, #️⃣ for Pine Gap, 🕰 for Twenty (More) Questions, 😄 for I'm Fine, and a 🃏 for whichever you like, please?

WIP Wednesday - Questions

Twenty (more) Questions: 🕰 What's the timeline of the story? (ie. pre-canon, post-canon, how long a period of time it stretches for, however you choose to interpret the question)

This fic picks up pretty much immediately after the end of Twenty Questions, like literally the same scene. I don't know what the time period is going to end up being--Twenty Questions stretched over a couple years, but this one might end up being more compact.

Live Oak: 🤝 Share a snippet that describes a physical sensation (how could i not feature that time both Rodney and his cat had a kidney stone?)

Later, while Rodney's hiding pills in a pile of processed tuna, the low-grade ache he's felt in his lower back for the last week very suddenly upgrades itself to a stabbing pain lancing through his side that has him doubled over on the kitchen floor, hissing through the radiating pulses of it.

I’m Fine: 😄 What part are you most excited to write?

oooooh this one is actually nearly done; i had some visions of how parts of it would go but i ended up really just getting into John and Rodney's confrontation because they're just. so bad at talking about things i love it

🃏 Wildcard: Answer the question you wish someone would ask you, or share a background detail, or a snippet or line!

Can I share a fear?

/looks around, whispers

I’m worried Live Oak 5 will never end

#the physical descriptions in this fic range from “physical pain” to “bad sex”#me: this is an episode tag to Tao of Rodney #also me: writes 20k only to arrive at mid-season 1 #wip wednesday
