Why This Must Be Read:
On a mission, something happens to Rodney to change his personality.
I love the way stillane shows the people of Atlantis, especially his team, trying to cope and adjust to this "new" Rodney. It's somewhat heartbreaking to watch how each of them does their best and can't help but feel unhappy with the "new" Rodney anyway. Stillane has each character react and deal in their own, characteristic way. That's the people we know from the show. The story has a happy end, so don't hesitate to read.
Rodney comes back damaged.
They hand over a fully functioning, loudmouthed genius with a penchant for sarcasm and slight irrationality. They get back a fully functioning, polite savant with a penchant for silence and serenity.
When he isn’t being terrifyingly helpful, Rodney isn’t talking. Rodney isn’t blinking. Rodney isn’t pacing as though he can walk to a thought. It’s only on close inspection that anyone can tell Rodney is breathing. On a scale of one to ten, this is an eleven of disturbing.
The Yolen people are absurdly pleased with their handiwork, presenting McKay as a gift to their new friends, like a good bottle of wine at a dinner party.
He will be more efficient now, they say. Dr. McKay will be better.
John’s sick with it. He never wanted this.
