I am still amazed at what a great team these two made in TLM. There's such a chemisty between them, you just know whatever comes out of their mouths is going to be golden.
I cannot begin to express my joy over seeing them fight side-by-side, especially in hand-to-hand combat. It was like Sateda Meets Common Ground in all the best ways possible.
And, of course, the way they went out - in a blaze of glory, so to speak - was all too fitting. To have each (in their own way) acknowledge that their 'enemy' was their last ally just gets to me every time I think about it. I can't help but think that each felt it had been an honor to know the other, to see a side of human - or Wraith - that they never would have imagined. Todd's little nod, and Ronon's smile, just slays me each time I watch that scene - two world-weary warriors, going out together.
*sniffle*
The R&T scene was, in my humble, the best of the show, and quite possibly the best of the season. It showed so much growth in both characters - Todd didn't just save his own ass (as he's done in the past), but instead helped Ronon carry out his plan, and by doing so, helped Ronon's men flee to safety. And Ronon...in the end, he had no other choice, I suspect, but feel a sense of admiration for his most hated of enemies, a Wraith. It was all done so perfectly, so beautifully, that I can't get it out of my head.
Would like to hear how it affected others. For me, it's not just about Todd...perhaps it's actually more about Ronon, and the surreal situation he finds himself in at his very end - fighting side-by-side with an unlikely brother-in-arms, a loathsome, life-sucking Wraith.
I'd just love to see more team-ups with these two in S5 and beyond, though I'm not holding my breath. I suspect this is all we will ever see, but it's enough to let my imagination run wild with all the possibilities of what could be.
