Excerpt of Rising's novelization

In mckay_sheppard, danamaree asked some opinions about the Atlantis book, and I said I'll get the McShep moments in Rising, it's behind the cut.

Rising’s novelization by Sally Malcolm. Based on the original teleplay, some scenes were changed when filming.

There are some nice moments, like Rodney wanting to call his sister, but too scared of what she’ll think, he prefer give his cat to his neighbour, and call her when he’ll be back from Pegasus, John stopping himself to shout ‘let’s do it again’ the first time he goes through the Stargate, and thinking it’s almost like if they were expected when he sees the dust sheets.

But I didn’t like how it was written that John was more worried for Teyla than his men when they were took by the Wraiths.

Little cameo of Zelenka: “A little guy in glasses dashed past cursing in something that sounded vaguely Eastern European."

The scene of Weir leaving Simon are longer, first a dinner with their friends to celebrate her leaving, then in private when he give her the little necklace we see her wearing in the show.

We just see her and Rodney preparing to leave, no Ford, Carson, John scenes.

Some people may not like the many changes of POV, but it’s nice to know what they think.
