Season 1: Episode 13 (Hot Zone)

NOTE: Spoilers ahead!!!!

As usual, here come my thoughts on this episode (with approx. timestamps):

0:20 - Rodney and Zelenka teasing Ford about ‘prime not prime’ is so adorable. OMG. 

1:27 - Rodney in charge is kind of cute in a dorky way. 

1:51 - Why is Ford on this ‘mission’ and not John or Teyla?

2:08 - Oh dang. Scientists are dropping dead. Rodney looks scared!! :( This isn’t good. 

4:24 - Ok. So Rodney is usually a hypochondriac but he’s somehow the most level headed person in the room about a medical outbreak!?!

5:55 - Teyla kicking John’s butt is my jam. Dang. They are so flirting with their eyes while they spar. Also, Joe Flanigan is hot. 

7:20 - John is an angry boi. I get it. I would be too in his position.

7:37 - Ugh. Peterson is pissing me off. 

8:26 - Just when you thought Rodney was being super brave - he takes the marine with him. haha too cute. <3

9:13 - Ugh. Bates. :( 

9:46 - John doesn’t like rules. 

10:07 - Teyla is soooo not happy about being stuck in a room with angry John. That eye roll was amazing. 

11:00 - Oh no. The scientists keep dying! This is actually quite frightening. 

11:40 - I told you Peterson was trouble. Ugh. What a loose cannon. 

12:30 - Ugh. Weirs voice really grates on my nerves. Especially when she’s trying to be comforting + logical at the same time. 

13:45 - Rodney is terrified. :(  And he’s seeing things.

14:40 - John could’ve totally run28 through that door if he wanted to. #justsaying.

15:10 - Oh no. John is pulling rank on Elizabeth. This won’t end well. 

15:40 - Yikes. Tension is sky-high.

16:00 - Carson is so done with Biro. hahaha OMG. 

16:34 - You tell him, Teyla!!! John and Elizabeth are both stubborn. 

17:08 - Great. John has officially ruined his relationship with Elizabeth. :( 

17:37 - Peterson is a crackpot. 

18:17 - Oh, Rodney. :( You’re breaking my heart. 

19:13 - Oh no. Rodney is on the chopping block! :( 

19:35 - You know, when Rodney is actually scared. Like, genuinely terrified he gets quiet instead of whiny. 

20:30 - Peterson is annoying....and now he’s in the mess hall. Ugh. Not good.

21:45 - Cool tech. Good job Atlantis! Lockdown protocol.

22:30 - Atlantis loves Sheppard. Elizabeth is pissy.

24:10 - Oh no. :( Oh no. :( Oh no. :( 

24:45 - Rodney is soooo scared. My heart is breaking. :( 

25:30 - Rodney’s monologued will is heart-shattering. :( 

27:00 - Rodney is so happy to be alive. It’s precious and now I’m happy. What a mood swing. 

28:08 - Rodney snapping his fingers because he had an idea is honestly so cute.

28:35 - Nanovirus? Oh well, that’s just wonderful. #not 

29:13 - I wonder if this episode inspired the writers to create the replicator story-arc?

31:01 - Ugh. Now Ford is freaking out! This episode is so creepy. 

31:43 - John helping Rodney out with science stuff is precious.

33:02 - And now John’s freaking out. OMG. Does everyone panic in this episode?!

35:00 - Oh no. Teyla is exposed! :( 

35:35 - John is a self-sacrificing idiot. I love him but this is a suicidal plan.

36:14 - What’s with Rodney’s latex gloves?!? OMG. So dorky.

37:15 - John in the puddle jumper. <3 Very cute.

38:05 - John looks scared for a second here and it breaks my heart.

39:22 - Rodney and Zelenka high-fiving/handshaking is cute.

40:00 - The John/Elizabeth tension is awko-taco. 

41:21 - And we end on a forboding note. 

This episode was weird but it also broke my heart. Thanks for hanging around for another episode.
