Redemption

[sherryillk]

Rewatching Redemption, I realized that the fans were right -- why would Rodney quit piano anyway? And what kind of teacher tells their student to "quit" when they obviously can play well? Even if Rodney lacked passion and artistry (although I personally don't believe this), a teacher would not suggest that a student quit. I personally don't believe that at all. I mean a teacher wouldn't want to lose business for one thing; they wouldn't crush a kid's dream for another... There's just a lot that don't make much sense to me. Anyway, I think that one fanfic that had Rodney's teacher being jealous of him and told him to quit offered a nice, plausible theory of it all.

I'm rewatching the sixth season of SG-1 currently as you might have gleamed. This was the forbidden season for me so I really haven't seen any of the episodes. I've been going through them, trying to find the "fun" episodes. I've been jumping around so I haven't been watching the episodes in order... I just did "Disclosure" which was so incredible. When Thor raised his finger, I had a major geek out. See, that's the sort of stuff that we love about SG-1.

And now I've watched "Forsaken" and it makes me feel all warm inside. It's always cool when scary looking aliens turn out to be not so different from us. That look of love Warrick (Warnick?) made when he saw the picture of his wife was so sweet. I think that's when Jack realized he was truthful -- that look of love can't be faked (although technically...but not within the storyline). I loved it. It warmed my girlish heart. ^^

I love stories that end well. And it's like yay, new friendly aliens that we might never see again!

Okay, I have about an hour an a half until I plan to leave. I have decided on the 400 GB after asking just about everyone I knew and their opinion on it. I have no idea if I'll be lucky enough to get one... There are people who have been camping outside since hours ago which is like crazy because it's been raining all day and all night and still right now. But I'm going to get there an hour and a half early so I hope while I'm freezing to death out there, it will lead to a brand new external hard drive which would definitely be very cool. ^^

I will be going with no sleep which is a bit problematic I guess. But I have enough time for sleep when I get back here hopefully triumphant. I'm debating to take my iPod or not. One, it'll be a long time going and I'll be waiting outside in the old and in the rain and if I'm going to be miserable, I want music to help me stay somewhat happy. Two, my iPod has games that could keep me entertained. The downside? It's freaking 4 AM in the morning, I'm going to be alone and on the subway, and that sounds sketchy. I think I will end up taking it though -- but I won't listen to it on the way there.

I know if I get there this early and there's nobody there, I'm going to feel like an idiot for being so paranoid. But if there are people waiting there, I know I'm going to feel like an idiot for not being paranoid enough and getting there even earlier. If it's going to be mass chaos, I'm going to freak. If I lose out after being very close to getting my hard drive, I'm going to hate myself. This day sounds so stressful and so not worth it but I now I'll feel differently if I get it but if I don't... Ugh, I hope I get something. It bothers me that the Staples sale starts at 6 AM while the one at Circuit City is at 5 AM and I can't exactly go to both... :\

Ugh, I'm starting to feel tired now... I hope I don't crash soon. I think I'm going to need coffee to stay awake. *makes a face*

edit x1: Oh my god, "The Cure" is so wonderfully beautiful! I'm crying right now and I'm shaking from it... The Tok'ra have a wonderful and kind queen. And it is so sad and yet Ageria is so forgiving... It makes humans seem so young and so ignorant... *sniffs* When it was revealed that she was the Queen of the Tok'ra, everyone had this "Oh fucking shit" look to them... It's sad that she died but they thought she was already dead so it's not like it changed anything... Oh well, I stayed here too long. I was going to go twenty minutes ago but I wanted to finished watching this. Now I'm going to go.

About Rodney... I personally thought it was a rather melodramatic explanation. It could be true, but there is also a possibility that Rodney paid more attention to mastering the technique (he loves accuracy and precision in what he's doing, doesn't he?) than the emotional aspect and the teacher was simply an honest man who could not encourage Rodney's parents' ambitions any longer. Besides, who knows how obnoxious and irritating Rodney had been back then... I'm sure he'd tried patience of many adults.
