From the predictable double-agent, to the predictably useless beaurocrats, to McKay turning into a white Chris Tucker, this episode pulled all the same punches Stargate has been pulling for over nine years, in extremely humdrum fashion.
And the wraithe threat continues to be overrated by the characters. The show has not convinced me that the wraithe are a huge threat to earth. A hive ship might be able to decimate a small village community with medieval technology, but a planet with six billion people, missiles and warheads, and fighter jets reinforced with Asgard technology? I am completely unconvinced that the wraithe would manage to kill more than a few thousand people tops, and yet, the characters talk like they were when Anubis was descending on the planet.
The only good part about the episode was Landry's chat with Weir, and that had nothing to do with the action of the episode.
I liked Atlantis when they were marooned far away with no consistant communication with Earth, and really on their own. Now I just don't care. I'm not sure I'll watch Atlantis again.
Good ep. It absolutely sucks that the Orion was destroyed. That the worst allied ship to be destroyed since .... well ever. I hate the producers because of this, I demand another Aurora-class ship, then I like the producers again.
I am disappointed that the Orion was destroyed...very disappointed, but I did enjoy the episode otherwise. It was good to see the Daedalus kick some ass in a more convention firefight for once.
AMAZING EPSIODE!! I didnt mind that much that the orion went boom, at least we got to see it fire first I knew that ship wouldnt last long. I'm glad that micheal is a good guy now, should be interesting. The orion may be gone but now we have a hive ship!
Anyone who gives me green is sexy, wanna be sexy? Give me Green! Woopie!
CLICK THE PIC!
yeah it sucked to see Orion get destroyed but it did a good job at kicking some wraith ass. I kinda figured that this was going to be a two-part episode but 3-part? That's awesome. I like the fact that at the end they ended with sheppard's face as the to be continued credit came up. i thought that michael looked pretty cool and that he was helping sheppard and the humans turn the wraith on the other hive ship into humans.
I really enjoyed this episode, though McKay really got on my nerves. Also not happy that
Spoiler:
the Orion was destroyed. Though they did gain a hive ship.
It also raised some very interesting questions.
Spoiler:
What will they end up doing to the now-human Wraith? If Michael ends up sticking around, how is he going to be fed?
Overall, I liked it. The few things I disliked were outweighed by the many things I liked. Cool battles and exploding ships a plus. Might only have to wait until next week for my questions to be answered.
But that drone launch on the part of the Orion made it one hell of a great episode.
That was one of the best parts of the episode, I loved watching the drones launch and evade the darts and then swarm around the hive ship. We needed more of the Orion!!
Over all I enjoyed the episode, had a lot of good action and set the stage for some good story threads throughout the season.
In my opinion, when the Wraith turned human said hello, did anyone think, did this guy just step out from a Lord of the Rings set into the Atlantis set?
