Seeing as @logicgunn has just blessed us with Part 15 of this series and as we roll into 2023, I felt it was the perfect time to reblog and remind or introduce others to it's sublime brilliance.

This is one of those comfort series that I just keep going back to..absolute reading bliss!

This a very early story from 2005. It’s short, and mostly dialogue. It is also quite funny.

I think about this scene a lot.

Like, a LOT.

It's the first episode after the pilot, they're not even a team yet and we get this. We get John and Rodney being like this. They had almost no interactions up to this point and then suddenly we get this scene and everytime on rewatch it hits me like a truck.

Up to this point, we have never seen Rodney like this. We have SG-1 McKay in 48 hours being unable to have even one decent conversation with a human being. We have a slightly less terrible Rodney in the recurring instances after.

Even Rodney's opening interaction with Carson in this very episode doesn't go without him insulting his medical degree and then, out of the blue, we get this.

And I always have to think about how did it come to this? How did it pan out? Why did he go to John of all people instead of heading back to Carson going "hey, btw, your gene therapy worked, check this out!" What did it look like? Did he just run up to this flyboy like kids do on the playground when they show off their toy and randomly decide to be friends? Just "MajOR, look what I fOunD" and John going "omg that's so C O oL"? And then they pause and John just goes "hey do you think it can handle it if I swung this metal rod at your face real hard", like. I THINK ABOUT THIS SCENE A LOT.

What prompts Rodney to have an instant connection with this man and trust him to shoot at him? "Oh, believe me, that's not the first thing we've tried." What else have you tried before John shot at you? How long have you two been at this?

It's messing me up how they're instantly on the same wavelength. It's messing me up how happy they both look. How we've NEVER seen Rodney so genuinely, boyishly excited before. How we've never seen him interacting with a person in such a genuine, positive way. How this is the first time we see him having fun with anyone.

Same for John, there's nothing of that sardonic attitude from the pilot, he just looks like a kid and his "Did you SEE that?"-voice when he storms down the stairs is just so heartfelt and giddy. Both of them look like they're having fun with a good friend and it's messing me up.

I think about this scene a lot.

forget the ask game gimme 3 mcshep headcanons pls >:]

omg GLADLY

1- the first time they go to the millers as an official couple rodney tells jeannie johns his boyfriend and she's like "have you not been dating this whole time why are you acting like this is news"

2- every time john gets drunk get complains to teyla about how unfair it is that he's not with rodney and every time she has to refrain from hitting him

3- john and rodney regularly steal jumper one to go on joyrides around the planet at 2am and chuck never tells anyone bc rodney found a way to hack the jumpers and send live footage of what the jumper sees so sometimes he gets to watch too
