There. I've said it. Are you happy now? All of you that have worried and wailed against the very idea of a love triangle on SGA.
I protested against your concerns and stood by TPTB in the ultimately vain hope that we'd get something interesting and worthwhile out of their attempt to write a romantic relationship (or two) into the show. Alas, it was not to be.
First Contact is the first episode that really plays up on the notion that Ronon and Rodney are interested in and "competing" for the same woman, Jennifer. And what do we have to show for it?
Desperate Rodney, staring after the two of them forlornly as Jennifer and Ronon run off to the Deadalus together.
A somewhat jerk-ish Ronon as he smirks back at Rodney as he leaves with Jennifer.
And an either oblivious or uncaring Jennifer who knows how Rodney feels yet seems to be encouraging Ronon.
Which wouldn't matter if she reciprocated Ronon's feelings, but we don't know what she's about because TPTB seem to have forgotten all about the third side of this triangle. Making this triangle more similar to a right-angle with no purpose other than what? To demonstrate how silly men get when they're "in love"?
So what's going on here? Are TPTB really screwing this up or is that just happening in my crazy mind?
