LOL... yeah, it is a bit like a Rorschach test - "Now what does this scene remind you of?"
Regarding the decor
Spoiler:
that's why I was thinking an airborne hallucinogen that hadn't made it to the two people in the elevator. If it was already spread across the city, then those stampeding people wouldn't have noticed what was going on in the interior of the elevator until it was too late.
Love the Atlantis ones from the office scene in an episode which I can't remember the name of right now.
Those are from The Gift. I was just going to post those same caps, so good thing I checked.
You know I'm all about Rodney's hands.
Me, Me!
Lovely fist.
Yes, I know it's been posted before, but I love it.
I think Rodney would be rendered speechless if his hands were tied.

You know, I had a bit of a DH marathon on the weekend with my newfound McShepper buddies and we realised something...
Out of all the movies available to us so far, there is only one love interest/kissing scene...
and it's with a man!
David kisses a girl in Scanners II. He's even in bed with her.
Scanners II was a very hard movie for me to find. I could only find it online in VHS for the US and the dealer was quite nasty to me.
David is with a girl in Joe's Wedding. There's a, um, hmm, what can I say here that will pass muster on this board? Ok, well, there's a scene with her, but you only see David's reactions in the scene, not the girl. Although you do see her before that scene.

Dang, there goes my theory lol.
But you gotto be more specific about this scene!
I can handle it! I swear.
Although the board might be a different story...
(BTW doesn't it strike you as funny/odd/cool/cute that David was in a movie called Joe's wedding? hehe.
I did wonder if it was a play on the idea that Ellen was the vulnerable woman.
Maybe it wasn't that Ben wanted her to get out with him to save her fro DH's character but to save DH and himself.
Because you have her seeing knife in Ben's pocket and at first I thought it was her fear of him as weirdo and him coming after her, trying to stop her from getting in the lift because he thought DH was the madman but after the ending I wondered if it was actually about not leaving DH with her rather than not leaving her with DH...see what I mean? And the look she has at the end...creepy.
There was also the whole thing about her wanting to go back down (for more victims perhaps...)
Noticed there is no quote so here is one...not so much snark but something maybe forgotten from "Poisoning the Well" (taken from tvtwiz transcripts)
McKAY: I’m, uh, Doctor McKay, Doctor Rodney McKay. (He smiles and holds out his hand for her to shake. She looks at him, confused, ignoring his hand, then turns to Carson.)

See, I had a different take on it..
Cube & Elevated:
Spoiler:
I thought that they were all becoming affected by something that basically made them turn on each other. Like in Cube, the real danger turned out to come from each other, rather than any exterial threat. In Cube, the cube itself is almost innocuous. It doesn't care whether they live or die, it doesn't even threaten them. If htey hadn't left that first room, all would have been fine.
Elevated is kind of like that too. The 'monster' or whatever was outside wasn't really there, wasn't a threat. The way I see it, DH's character was the first to be affected. The blood on his shirt was somebody else's, somebody he had in fact killed. The catch is that after whatever the thing is makes u go nuts, you go to phase 2, which is the rational fear part, which is where DH was at when he entered the elevator.
Ben was the next person to go nuts, but DH & ellen sensed this and stayed in the elevator. When he jumped on top, he was at the fully fledged 'going nuts' phase and was trying to get in at them.
When Ellen killed DH's character, she was the one at the 'going nuts' phase. After she does it, she seems to kinda have an 'omg he's dead' moment. That's maybe when the rational fear part starts to set in.
All the other people running to the elevator are about to go through a similar cycle...
Or maybe I'm just reading into it too much. Coz all the running people didn't have blood on them....hmmm.
I CAN'T! Ohhhh, come here little Roddie get some hugs and kisses from your thunkers.

Meaning no disrespect to anyone, but is there any chance of keeping all the pics and thunking to one thread and saving the other for actual discussion of his character? I have a hard time remembering which thread I'm in, myself, but as much as I love Rodney and as much as I love the occasional thunk and all the lovely pictures, I'd also like to be able to discuss the character without getting interrupted by too much thunking.
I know it's at least partly my fault for making the other thread thunk AND appreciation, but that's because I couldn't see much difference between them, myself. Until I realised that I was spending less and less and less time on the McKay and Baal threads because there was more thunking than discussion. I also know that I'm in a very sour mood this morning which is probably making it worse, but maybe this thread could be more for discussion and the other could be more for thunking? Please?
