Rodney McKay Whumping!

[unknownterra]

Spoiler:

Poor Rodney...I get sciatica sometimes and it's horrid...it's a sharp and slightly debilitating pain you get when you pinch or inflame your sciatic nerve...you get it up the back of your leg to the small of your back...it's the small of my back that gets the worst of the pain

Oh...

Spoiler:

I had an impingment (sp?) once and I was walking...hmmm...more like hobbling like an old woman. At its worst I was unable to sit, stand or move and I was bent over completely, practically crawling (and it was exam time too!)

Before it got to that stage I went to an SGA convention and my friend Lysia was dressed as Steve (I was an Athosian because Steve likes to bring lunch) and all the guests were making a fuss over her. I was laughing so hard I nearly passed out from the pain, I kid you not.

OMG! I thought this was a really good episode, not only because it is a really good episode but because

Spoiler:

we got a good Rodney whump. I just wanted to hug him, though, because when he was telling Teyla that she had to shut the generator off, he looked so frightened that his best friend had just shot him without a second thought. And I thought it was really interesting that his hallucination was that he couldn't fix the machine. While Ronan and John were running around trying to kill things, he and Beckett were having much more... well, for Beckett, very personal I think. And for Rodney it was messing with his head, the whole "I should be able to fix this easily but I can't!" and poor Beckett was having the same problem. *sigh* And I don't really know how I felt about the banter at the end, but I think they all felt a little better with Rodeny complaining becuase as long as he had the strength to point out that Sheppard had shot him, then he was going to be okay.

Okay, probably should have taken that to the discussion board. Sorry.

But, all in all, a very good episode.

Spoiler:

I wish we had at least seen sheppard's face when he realized he shot McKay. But I felt that the slightly comedic feel at the end was more Rodney and even Ronon ganging up on Sheppard, instead of the team ganging up on Rodney as is usual. And as for Teyla, I think she was just trying to cope with her injury and the frustration she went through as the only sane person. She was very quiet except for her asking John about his friend, but even then she was very soft-spoken.

I did like

Spoiler:

that both Rodney and Ronon ganged up on Sheppard about him shooting him.. I did laugh at that. I also liked when Rodney told the military guy he was helping carry, to not be sorry and just worry about himself and hang in there.. then Carson gave him a look that said woah Rodney cares.. Of course Rodney cares and I'm glad that the writers did show that.
I also was in shock when John did shoot Rodney point blank.. I was like OMG please don't let it be to bad.. but we got some Rodney whumpage which is always good

Spoiler:

The bandage look lower than it should be considering where he got shot?

Spoiler:

According to other discussion about the episode, if you slow down the scene where Rodney gets shot, Teyla knocks John's aim off and the 'squib' (the special effect explosive that gives you the puff of smoke when shot) is actually in the right area for the bandage.

Ah yes, the infamous randomly travelling wounds and field dressings of Stargate: Atlantis. Previously seen in such episodes as The Defiant One and The Long Goodbye.

Just had to say, while I'm here, that i loved the scene where

Spoiler:

McKay was telling Teyla how to fix the machine. He was sooo brave in that scene, not complaining or crying out or anything, just lying on the ground, injured and hurting and holding it together to tell his friend how to save their lives. Awesomeness!

Oooo, I agree with you 100%!

Thank you sooo much for the caps! They're beautiful!

Cause

Spoiler:

Bullets burrow to a warmer location once they're in.

strivaria, maybe it's a perspective thing?

Spoiler:

because at the end he is lying down in a slumped sort of position so it could just be the angle that makes me think the bandage is way too low.

[Cheerios]

Thanks for the pics, Alipeeps!!

I got my Grandpa to tape 'Phantoms' for me, so hopefully I'll be seeing it within the next week! I CAN'T wait!

[Jersey13]

Well, for those of you who didn't catch it, I have some Rodney-whump goodness pics from 'Phantoms'.

Spoiler:

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing him shot.




Eh, the bullet hole there does look a tad higher than the bandage, methinks... It would have been the right place, though, if he hadn't raised his hands in the air.

[pavaneofstars]

Have to admit in the scene where

Spoiler:

they finally switched the machine off and "woke up" I was waiting for Sheppard to say, "OMG, Rodney?!" as he remembered that he'd shot his friend and left him lying on the ground outside.. but nothing! I did find that kinda odd.. I like the lighter-hearted ending but surely he would, at least for a moment or so, have been worried as to whether McKay was ok?

That was exactly what I thought too! It was completely lacking.

Alipeeps and Jersey, thanks for the caps!

well..

Spoiler:

Sheppard really didn't know it was Rodney he had shot, he only saw a wraith in his head. When the power-thingy was disabled, I don't think he remember shooting Rodney at all, only the 'wraith'.

[Klenotka]

Spoiler:

He didn´t see Wraith but some soldier from Afghanistan. But he had to see Rodney when he went for Carson. It was probably off-screen scene where he assured himself that Rodney is OK. He needed to find Carson anyway. It´s work for our fan fiction authors, I think.

Just read a really good tag fic about that at Wraithbait (not slashy, just so you know):
