merlin: Why??
merlin: They're your boots.
arthur: ...Have you lost your mind?
merlin: I thought you believed in equality.
arthur: I'm sorry?
merlin: At the round table you said-
arthur: Shut up merlin.
that funny moment when you write a one-off episode during the 2007 writers strike so 'early-2000's-homophobic' that you accidentally become a prophet for the next 15 years of queer television
Who's the better one-off character? (Round 5)
Margi Kleinjan & Terri Roberts (played by Wendy Benson/Lisa Robin Kelly)
Steve & Edy (played by J.W. Smith & Curtis Jackson in "X-Cops")
Margi Kleinjan & Terri Roberts: do you ever have a high school situationship so intense that you develop mutual psychic powers and begin a spree of mayhem with a sizable body count
Steve & Edy: Gays not buried! Also they manage to resolve conflict maturely and stay together. Pretty good queer rep for the year 2000
i CANNOT believe that "all this time, you were teaching us about how gay love can pierce through the veil of death and save the day" is an actual REAL quote from an official episode
There is a certain level of humor and frustration felt through the first half of this episode as Lucius returns. We find that he's cobbled an identity together based off of Sheppard to gain the fame and recognition he longs for.
The frustrating thing is that Sheppard, Rodney, Teyla, Ronon, and Carson have been heroic. They've saved towns, risked their lives for people who don't know them, been bruised and bled for countless others, and they've never gotten the kind of adulation Lucius is getting in this town. He's using Ancient tech and their stories. Praise is lavished on him. Yet the people who are actually heroic, actually the good guys get hardly a glance on a good day, and run out of town on a bad day.
And then, look, they go and be heroic anyway. No praise. No nothing. They try to tell the town the truth, and they get derided, but when Kolya shows up they make sure they're not risking the town. (After a minor John! from Teyla.) They all try to die for Rodney. Sheppard not only saves his team but helps the town stand up after telling Lucius not to try and be a hero, because he knows that's dangerous.
It starts out frustrating to see them unacknowledged yet again, and then reminds us who and what real heroes are. Also, we get the cathartic moment of Sheppard finally putting Kolya down and ridding the Pegasus galaxy of that constant danger. Can you imagine? After the torture, Todd, and what Kolya put Weir through, to finally see him go down? Nice.
Also, this episode made me think of these:
Diversity win! The new doctor House is antagonizing is a lesbian!! 🎉🎉🎉
i fuckign hate this stuoid ass show who made me watch tjsi shit swear to god im so sick wtf
Enjoyed the season finale for the most part. I see lots of people talking about the turbo lift scene and I agree the dimensions seemed completely out of whack, but you can't have 'Die Hard in Space' without a turbo lift scene. As for the new uniforms 🤢.
My favourite bit of the whole episode would be so easy to miss, I only caught it on a rewatch. Love that Hugh's arm is still around Gray even after the holos were switched off 😍
