Ain't that the truth

The really unfortunate thing about "Harmony" is that episode seems to be aired with great frequency in syndication--like on Fox late at night or early Saturday mornings with random local affiliates. The whole "kid-friendly" aspect of the show went way out of control in that episode at the expense of the side characters. Ronon and Teyla deserved better. I would have gladly watched stories focused on them rather than mini-McKay and her mouthy mentor.

The only interesting thing I found about that episode was a bit of small trivia long after the episode aired. Patrick Gilmore (Dale Volker on SGU) starred as a Genii soldier.

Oh good lord......I'd have to say Shep is Xena cause McKay's afraid of his own shadow

Well it didn't help that I don't like kids And well you know how I feel about McKay and a mini McKay has less appeal than a Lobotomy

Huh, I did not know that he was in an ep of SGA

One good thing SGU has going for it.......NO BLOODY WOODS EVERY OTHER EP

I totally hear you on MiniMcKay and her maddening mentor. I couldn't believe I actually forced myself to watch that episode. Well, I did it for Sheppard's sake since he's the one main character in that episode that was worth watching.

You know, I used to be a teacher, and so naturally liking kids was kind of a prerequisite. After I left the field I left it still liking children. The irony is that now that I haven't been teaching for a long time and I have a completely different line of work (law enforcement-related), most of the people I deal with are at least 30 and over and dealing with kids now is like pulling teeth or something.

I have a close friend who has a son who just turned 13. I like socializing with her but her son has to be around almost all the time because he must absolutely have adult supervision. The problem with him is every little thing is debated and every decision questioned. The constant whining and the teenage self-centeredness has become appalling. It's gotten to the point that literally every single time I come over to visit, he'll gripe about something--anything, really. It's been necessary for his mom (bless her heart for having to deal with him) to take an incredibly firm hand in dealing out consequences and setting good boundaries for him.

Every time the kid (and yes, I'll refer to him as the kid as long as he insists on acting like one) starts acting up, I honestly can't help but think of McKay, Harmony, and how the kid is following in their footsteps with his attitude. It's gotten to the point where I just don't want to come over to visit them. I don't mind the mom's company as she is so wonderful but the kid--ugh. I'm very thankful I'm not in the teaching field anymore.

OK, I totally didn't expect this post to turn into venting...

Can't help but wonder if episodes like Harmony are partly to blame for that problem.

I think I have one more episode to add to the list that Teyla wasn't in- 'Outsiders'.

[fumblesmcstupid]

yes she was!

Teyla is supposed to be able to SENSE the wraith from miles away...RIGHT???

Yet she didn't see the twenty wraith guarding the gate right in front of her in this episode For Crying Out Loud

She was in this one. She was hiding behind a bush with Ronon for most of it

I didn't know that having a baby would result in her losing her Wraith abilities THEY WERE LIKE ONLY ABOUT 30 BLOODY YARDS AWAY FROM HER AND SHE COULDN'T SENSE THEM?

Say it with me people...

inconsistency!

I think that the writers promptly forget what they had written and then made more crap up to try and make US think we don't know what we are talking about (Tagon) to name a few.

BUT, they forget that 99.9% of Sci-Fi viewers watch the same episode over and over and well you get my drift! so we remember stuff way better than they obviously do!

I'm surprised they even remembered what Teyla looked like

Oh yeah, she was the one with the baby attached to her hip Hard to miss that eh
