Midway

"The midway is divided into three main sections," Sheppard explained, making the same obscure pointing gestures he made in the field to indicate their next maneuver, "and each one is anchored by its own ferris wheel."

"I’ll give you a hundred dollars not to make us ride all three," Rodney said.

This is probably going to be a weird thing to start with but...I loved the way you wrote the old man with the goat. I liked how Ronon drew Rodney's attention to him and then the way you wrote how he was with the goat. God, even as I'm typing this I realise I sound like an enormous tool but for some reason that old guy was the emotional hot spot for me in this story.

Umm, to move onto less weird things...I really enjoyed the story. The way John just announced that they had to act less gay was horrible and I felt for Rodney having to hear that. I liked Rodney's little phone call to Ronon while he was putting the panda in the car. I even liked Rodney's giant snit that lasted almost the entire story:)

Actually? I totally know what you mean, in fact I think that's where I started taking Ronon more seriously in this story (not having read the rest of the series - yet), which in turn made me appreciate him as more than just comic relief. And I loved the end when Ronon was feeding the small, unappreciated animals - it was a little window into his personality that worked so nicely.

Old man with the goat FTW! Also, I liked that the old man's goat didn't actually win - it went against expectations, which is always cool.
