I've downloaded and listened to a couple season 2 SGA commentaries by Martin Gero (writer, very funny), Joe Flanigan, and David Hewlett. They are all *hilarious* together, and Joe and David banter adorably. Awww. The ones I've listened to have been for Conversion and Lost Boys, and I just died of laughter for both of them. There are so many little gems, but a couple yummy ones...
David mentions that he needs to get some slo-mo for his character, and Joe says "Slo-mo of you and Paul running to meet each other in a field?" HEE.
In The Lost Boys, there's that scene where John and Rodney have a conversation in a field, and when it starts, Martin kinda cuts off the hilarity and says: "There's a kind of... there's a warmth between you two guys that comes out - I mean, not to get all serious for a second - but you guys really do have a very nice chemisry on camera." And of course Joe and David are like "oh yes, that's hatred!" but I love that Martin points it out because it is REAL and TANGIBLE and, I mean, Rodney/John was not intentional by any means, I don't think, but Joe and David just work so *well* on screen together, that it just happened, organically, you know? I love it. Love love :D
They even talk about assbabies! Martin: "I've said on the record... if the world was cruel enough, to allow Brad and Robert [producers or something] to have a child, it would be David Hewlett as Dr. Rodney McKay." Hee.
There's so much more, but you all need to buy the S2 DVDs when they come out and watch the commentaries :)
( Some scattered thoughts on SGA 3x20 First Strike )
Overall I really liked this episode a lot :D It was intense and climactic feeling, and I just enjoyed it a lot. I'm so sad I'm done watching! :( But as soon as Rob and I finished the finale, we went back and watched the SGA pilot! *laughs* It was so fun watching our darlings in the beginning - god, could I love John any more? No. None more. And I love how Rodney and Elizabeth warm up to John immediately, even while others are a little wary of him. I did keep expecting to see Ronon, haha.
Baaaaasically, I love this show. ♥
(See new icon! Awwwww, BOYS! I simply can't stop rewatching Those Scenes from Tao of Rodney - you know the ones I mean :D)
