Movie Appreciation: Week 15, Period 3 (Fri. 4/24)

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

The final was not on From Justin to Kelly. Did Ronon look that cruel? No.

Instead there was a full (and free) concession stand in the Danger Shop auditorium when students arrived and a professor standing up front with a stack of papers. "Okay, it's final exam time. You guys suffered well through last week's horror, so today there's snacks and a showing of Visitor. My team back home is a big on this one." Other than the chick who had the nightmares of Teyla's unborn child being a Wraith and ripping out of her stomach. But we could all forget her easily.

"Seniors, good luck next weekend and onward. Everybody else, I'll see you in the fall."

"Intellect. My ego is perfectly reasonable," Rodney corrected. "I decided to go with Stanford. The scholarship offers from Cal Tech and MIT were comparable, but the faculty at Stanford has published more interesting papers recently." Which was probably more than John wanted to know.

No he did not.

"Stanford? No, you're not going to Stanford." That was John's school.

"Um, yes I am. I just said I was." Now, Rodney was confused.

"But I'm going to Stanford." John couldn't figure out how this had happened without him knowing.

Rodney stared. "They let you into Stanford?" Yeah, because that was really the point.

John had to pause and be offended. "Why shouldn't they let me in?"

"Oh, well, I mean you're more with the..." he made a gesture that could indicate flying. Or, possibly, swimming with dolphins. "You know. And not as much the academics."

"Hey, it takes some pretty heavy skill to..." Was Rodney swimming? John thought maybe so. "I'm smart enough, okay. Besides, I got in."

"True," Rodney conceded. "Though you have to admit it's easy for people to forget that you're smarter than you act most of the time." That was actually something of a compliment coming from him.
