Re: Childhood's End (106)
Nevermind, he's Lt. Elliot from Proving Ground.  Why do they keep reusing the same actors?!

Re: Childhood's End (106)
Because the actors are GOOD?? Just a guess, there. Some of my ideas can be a little wacky...
As far as the ep goes, the problem that immediately springs to mind is: they're saying that the wraith haven't attacked the villages for generations, right? But the wraith haven't been around much in generations, have they? It was only recently that they all awoke, and what a handful might have been willing to ignore before a whole feasting horde might be willing to go the extra distance to get some food.
Also. I LOVE McKay but the poor little kiddies.

No arguement from me there. I love the actors that they use, but the fact that they reuse them for different characters is a little disconcerting. When a character has an entire episode devoted to them, and then they return as some one else...

Re: Childhood's End (106)
McKay should've been known better than to take something that wasn't his. Was he just gonna rationalize that the Atlantis team needed it more than the kids? He should've thought it through, imo. Some possible questions? "Why is this zpm here?" Or, "does the zpm provide some necessary value to the inhabitants?" But, the story wouldn't be going in the current direction...

Re: Childhood's End (106)
Did McKay say ZEE-PM at one point in his arguing with Weir? I lost track for a sec. Maybe it was Weir...

He said ZEE-PM at least once, but he also threw in the canadian ZED-PM.

2ed why even find a zpm if it is not going to work in atlantis anyways. That really pissed me off.

They didn't KNOW it wouldn't work in Atlantis until they got it BACK there and rans some tests.

3erd Those people of that planet are so stupid, I mean sacraficing theirselves. In my opinion a stupid plot.

There are a lot of rituals in human culture that are pretty "stupid". Self-sacrifice is no dumber than some that are still in use here on Earth. Don't be so quick to condemn what you don't understand.
I don't think it will be one of my FAVORITE eps and it may have needed a little more filling out plot-wise, but I still kinda liked it. Mostly because McKay kicks ass.  McKay and kids... gotta love it. hehe

Yeah, but the point is, if he's so Canadian, he shouldn't slip up like that. It'd be like an American unintentionally saying ZEDPM.
edit: Then again, I would probably screw up on something like that, especially if I was arguing with someone saying it the other way.  It just threw me is all...

A considerable portion of Earth's population bases their entire lives around the teachings a 2000 year old carpenter. Your point?

Re: Childhood's End (106)
Hey do NOT jump all over me and my post. I said "In my opinion and also that I did not watch all parts of the ep and was going to rewatch all of it. That meaning I might change my mind on the ep if after seeing all the details.
There is NO reason to jump all over me!!!!!!!!!

Re: Childhood's End (106)
I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but did anyone get a little feeling that the whole sacrafice thing to keep the population at a certain number kind of like SG1 Episode, "Revisions"? Well of course its different, but its just me comparing and contrasting

You stated your opinion, I recounted using ideas and opinions of my own. Sorry if that bothers you. Your original post came across as being very hostile in my opinion so I replied in a particularly blunt manner. I wasn't jumping all over you, just suggesting alternatives. All I'm really saying is try and keep an open mind...

Re: Childhood's End (106)
This was a fun episode. I like that elder kid who got shot. And the kids. Poor guys, having to be at the recieving end of Rodney's snark.
Heehee. McKay broke the ZPM. Beckett's never gonna leave him alone about that. ^.^
