Oh so very hilarious!!

Watching Stargate Atlantis - TAO OF RODNEY

McKAY: You can all relax. I'll have us back online in two minutes.

WEIR: We need to talk to you.

(Rodney deactivates the Chair, which rises into its upright position. He sits up and stares at her.)

McKAY: What do you mean, I'm gonna die?

(Elizabeth and John stare at him as he stands up, still looking at her in shock.)

McKAY: I'm not even sick! I feel great – never better!

SHEPPARD: That Ancient device ...

McKAY (reading his mind): ... has accelerated my evolution. (He looks at Elizabeth, reading her mind.) Eventually I'll reach a point where I'm physically capable of ascension, but ascension takes more than that – there's a ... there's a mental component.

(Elizabeth nods.)

McKAY: I need to know how to make it happen ... which I don't. (He looks at Ronon, picking up his thoughts.) Yet! I'm getting smarter by the minute. (He looks back to the other two.) It's a pretty good assumption I'll be able to figure it out on the way.

(Elizabeth opens her mouth but Rodney starts talking again, speaking her mind for her.)

McKAY: OK, so it's not as easy as that. Well, even if I don't, so I stay a highly-evolved human. I mean, I don't have to ascend – it's, it's a choice, right?

(John grimaces slightly.)

McKAY: No? What do you mean, no? Oh, that stupid Ancient device doesn't work properly, does it? (He reads Elizabeth's mind again.)

It's set in motion a series of genetic mutations that will result in my death if I don't ascend?!

SHEPPARD (quietly to Elizabeth): There *is* something easier about this.

(Elizabeth nods in agreement.)

this is the bestest episode ever!! and I mean EVER!! So much happy feet!
