Oh no! I should have known John's farming job - as horrible as it was being the thug protector - was too good to be true. And quiet Hemma turns out to be the dangerous one for John. I wonder what he gets out of the deal, other than maybe a sense of justice for the death of his son and a little water. I suppose on this world, that is quite a bit - enough to turn someone over to probable death, or a beaten severe enough to make him of unable body.
I can't imagine John will come out of those balick matches very well physically, but I'm afraid this is going to add even more anguish mentally to psychological barriers that are already weak and barely holding up. He's about to be forced into situations of intense, personal violence that I don't think he can dehumanize and block. Eeeee!! You've got me all worked up and nervous!
Very interesting to see how Ronon is dealing with his situation. Insanely frustrated, yes, but his immobility and lack of contact with anyone but John seems to be making him more and more emotionally connected and in tune with his surroundings. You can certainly see him moving in one directly psychologically while John moves in the other. I love how he went all out with the map, using colors and making it a piece of art than just something utilitarian.
I'm so worried for Sheppard! How are they going to get off this planet? Looking forward to Friday!
