View Full Version : better as a 2 parter?
Phenix

This episode had so much potential. I felt that the end of it was a major letdown. You've heard it before.... Teyla is essentially on a deep cover mission. Rodney, Ronan, and Shep should have never interfered with her role in this ep.
Teyla's reckless aggression was also pointless. Yea I get it she hates Wraith but she's also putting her life on the line. If the big three followed actual procedure Teyla is dead.
O and Todd saving Teyla was so utterly predictable.

I can't comment on much, yet, but due to my background, I can resist no longer.
'Phenix' is spelled 'Phoenix'. If you knew that already, then I'm truly sorry, but I just... had... to.

I would've loved to see this extend in to a two-parter.

It would have been better as the ENTIRE 6th season.
Excellent episode.

I wouldn't have minded this one as a two-parter, but, I also think it works just fine as it is.

I suggest you check out "Infection" later this season. :cool:

Queen Teyla was awesome. If a two parter gave her another 45 minutes of Queen Teyla, it would be...
Our tvs would explode from sheer awesomeness.

Phenix is an accepted phonetic spelling of Phoenix. In case you did not know this there is more than one way to spell an English word. For example judgement and judgment are the same word but one is correct in UK English and one is correct in American English. My version of Phenix is an older form of the word Pheonix but also useful b/c Phoenix is usually taken on forums.

Well, I stand corrected! I suppose I'm so accustomed to 'Pheonix' that I just pass off every other possible spelling outside of 'Phoenix' as blatantly incorrect.
Haha, it's actually not very often at all that I learn something about the language I wasn't already familiar with. I thank you!

Yup, if you're from the US you might know that the capital of Arizona is Phoenix, Arizona. I'm from Tucson :D

I actually live in Mesa right now, which is part of the suburbs of Phoenix. ;)

Theres a lot more they could of done with Teyla as a Wraith Queen. For example, what if she had to decide whether or not to order a culling of a world in order to maintain her cover.

Agreed. I think TPTB shouldn't have bothered with Whispers & made this a 2 parter. :)

A two-parter could have been really exciting. I think the episode worked as is but it could have worked. They would have had to bump up the boys' activity a bit which wouldn't have been a bad thing I suppose.

Even tho i know that these a follow up to this episode to come later in the season, i do argee that i could have been a 2 parter for a few reasons:-
a) it did feel a bit rushed in places
b) would have given Rachel a greater chance to shine
c) to develop the inner workings of wraith hives - something we've since little of.
But even saying that it was a great episode!!

This story is going to spread out for several more eps this season, fyi

Yes, but this is the last season. It truly could have been a multi-season arc where we have to decide if it is worth sending Todd a message and asking him to do something "on behalf of his Queen." Might be extremely helpful in Enemy at the Gate.

This would be a perfect two-parter. Or more. They could have prolonged this story-line, make Teyla betray maybe, then get back again, regain trust - that would be a nice twist, for more episodes. If they would have lesser "running in the fog" episodes, they might put there a two-parter instead. It seems very rushed like this. Especially when this is the last season.

If the second part would cancel a different episode later on...not sure I would want it

I think if this episode had been a two parter then the episodes would have been mundane at points.
