Yes, I am SAD and PATHETIC, we all know this, moving right along...
So I'm playing the SGA Season 2 behind-the-scenes featurettes in the background while I draw (or presently, being on an art-break, while I type), to keep me from watching the same 5 seconds of the Season 4 trailer from Comicon over and over and over again.
Those who have seen the trailer will probably have no difficulty figuring out which five seconds...
And then, to make sure that there is no question whatsoever in anyone's mind that I am completely and utterly pathetic, I screencapped it. Screencaps and S4 spoilers under the cut ... well, 5 seconds of spoilers, anyhow. But it's probably an important scene...
SO I had already read about this scene in
liketheriverrun's Comicon report, which means I've been desperately hoping some kind person would put the Comicon trailer online so I could see it. And now I am happy. Well ... no. Now I want Season 4 EVEN MORE. But also happy.
Have I mentioned that, for pure angst value, defibrillator scenes are one of my favorite things EVER? Especially with loved ones standing by, angsting. (The blurriness of these screencaps, alas, is due to the low quality of the trailer.)
OMG DEAD!
Clear!
Keller: "He's dead."
Dead!Rodney. (Dead shirtless Rodney, no less.) And John, off to the right; unfortunately we can't see his face, but I sense "major freakout" coming.
I do try not to get my hopes up for h/c based on spoilers, but how can there not be h/c from this?! And Keller's wearing a biohazard suit while John's not ... THAT can't be good...
I'd be a lot more worried if I thought for a minute that they were actually going to kill Rodney, but not very likely. Although I actually am a little concerned that they might "reboot" his character -- bring him back as an AU version or something.
*crosses fingers that we keep our same Rodney*
*watches trailer again*

Naturally! *grin* We'll all be sad and pathetic together until the new season starts.
SPOILERS AHEAD! AVERT EYES NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE!!!

...Doppelganger and that this is Keller's nightmare (about losing a patient) and the Sheppard we see Evil!Shep influencing the dream...?
Just gonna wait and see, though.
And may I say...
*GAPES*
Uh...I was gonna say...
*GAPES*
Yeah...that.

from Doppleganger. I envision an evil grin on Shep's face....
and is there anything wrong with that?? (Being a h/c junkie that is)
Oh I don't know - the writers of this show are really good at dishing out the hurt but leaving out the comfort. I am going to wait and see what they do.
I doubt they would "reboot" Rodney - the writers love the character to much the way he is. (I get the feeling that for some of them Rodney is a bit of Marty-Stu - abet one that doesn't get all the girls) Moreover some of the other spoilers I have read really only work with our Rodney.
As for how this scene is going to play out - we will have to wait and see. Evil Scifi for making us wait until Sept for this.
Heh, did you read the very-slight-spoiler Mallozzi gave me that someone posted on the McShep journal? With that and other things he's said about Shep!Whumppage on his blog, I think JoeM has a real spoft spot for the h/c lovers. *G*
Why do we have to wait until the END of SEPTEMBER? Yes, yes, I know those of you not in the US never got it in July anyway (because none of you would EVER, like, download it), but I want it NOW!
Many thanks for the link to the trailer! I will now return to attempting to dodge most of the spoilers while still getting a little something to whet my appetite....

Can't wait to see Carson again! Can't wait to see Carson again! I can't handle my favorite characters dying. Yes, if one is going to die, PLEASE let me know in advance (I knew "Heroes" was coming too ; when I first heard the rumors about "Sunday" I didn't believe them, but I knew the sad truth well before the episode aired over here, or I'd have been EVEN MORE TICKED than I am now).
If one of my faves is coming back, better still. Now I'm praying for SGA to get a season 5, and for the SCB campaign to get their way and bring Carson back permanently. They've been giving Joe Mallozzi chocolate, which is definitely a smart move.
BTW, I really enjoyed your short Ronon/Rodney piece.
Season 4 seems so far away.
God, can it be September now?
(gets annoyed at medical cliches)
...screencaps are making me flail. And squee. And, oh, they couldn't do anything to Rodney, I don't think... *crosses fingers*
...dead, and John...! *flails*
