I wonder how Roney knew every detail of there deaths. No one saw what Sam did with the last minutes of her life. How did Ronan's story get out? Well maybe Rodney just filled in the blanks.

We were shown what actually happened, not what Rodney told John. Rodney told John what he and the others knew, like how Ronon went with Todd and then detonated the facility once his new people had made it back to the gate and how Sam crashed into a ship and managed to get the blast wave to destroy the other two (this would be visible from the planet's surface, I guess).

As mentioned, the clips were as they happened for the audience's sake (because of them we know far more details than Sheppard). Listen to only what Mckay said to Sheppard as a setup to those clips and you'll see that what he knew wasn't really that much and certainly wasn't unlikely details for him to know.

Originally posted by Skydiver View Postin each case there were probably enough witnesses for rod to fill in the blanks.
although, if you notice - or maybe just my perception - rod's 'memories' were suitably embellished to fit his perception of the people involved
Two examples:
"Zelenka may have been there." Zelenka WAS there.
"I was down in the infirmary with a pretty serious injury." He had a splinter.Theoretically spoilerish:

Zelenka was there... getting him a cup of coffee...
You're attempting to nitpick something that occurs in thousands of movies, television shows, and video games. It happens for any recounting or storytelling that occurs on screen, where it's in way too much detail and everyone "listening" acquires those details.

Regarding Todd & Ronon's scene, JM said in his blog:
JM: "This was a conversation we had in the room as the script was being written and we ultimately decided it would be a bit of a cheat, the conceit being that Rodney may have had this information relayed to him second-hand through the operatives who were with Ronon on the mission (and perhaps even overheard the exchange via whatever communications device they possessed prior to their heading through the gate). Or, what we are glimpsing is not so much McKay’s retelling of the events as he heard them as it is a flashback to the actual event."
I prefer to think of it as an actual flashback, given the detail, than just someone from Ronon's forces telling him what happened because they heard it over the radio. Flashback just seems more - realistic.
