The shrine, first reaction from me taken from the ADB backup site

I have to say that this episode most diffinately has joined the ranks of my favorites. In my favorites are Mckay and Mrs. Miller, Millers Crossing and now The Shrine. This episode was amazing and david played it beautifully, not to mention Brad did an amazing job on writting it. It diffinately satisfied my McSheppy soul. There are so many wonderful parts that i loved so i'm gonna say...SPOILER WARNING now lols. First off...i was crying by the first five seconds into the episode when Mckay was doing that whole "mr. Mckay" bit and i lost it even more when Jeannie went to see rodney. By the time McKay was like "I'm sick" i lost it completely. I'm a very emotional person so episodes like this make me sob like a baby. I loved how during the episode they showed bits and pieces of his video log. Well while i'm on the fav moments subject let me list them-I absolutely loved it when Rodney sought out john in the middle of the night when he got scared. I still, however, felt that a hug should have been put there somewhere. And the whole Authur bit on the pier was funny. And that whole part in general screamed McSheppy. ^^ tehe Sorry ppl i'm a Mcsheppy fan-girl. lols.I loved it how ronon was all like "i owe it to him" and stuff. It brought me back to the part in "Tao" when rodney healed ronons wounds. Now one big part from the episode as a whole was how whenever rodney was scared, or upset or hurting he went to john. Yeah sure....he told jen he loved her....but he went to john for everything. lols So my Mcshep heart is set lols. Now on Davids performance-Davids-All i can really manage is wow. His protrayal of a person with those sorts of problems was amazingly acurate. My mom used to work with people with those problems and she would tell me stories. Davids performance was honest and realistic right down to the brutal fact that he didn't even comprehend what the team was planning. Just a brillient and award deserving performance which can't be summed up in words easily.Everyone else's-Was equally amazing. The reactions were perfect. Pretty much everyone was amazing.Now...that's pretty much all i can say at 1:00 am lols. I'm on my fifth time watching the episode and i might just do a transcript for it. I'm also gonna re-post this in my blog because at 1 in the morning my mind is kinda fried lols. ^^~DanielleS
