So, what games will they play in S5? I see John/Rodney truth or dare in the future. There's not enough alcohol in the metro area to get me through that one.

Actually, I can see Keller getting everyone together for a nice game of Spin the Bottle. That would provide nice bonding moments, right?

I've actually seen several spin the bottle fanfics, and after watching a bunch of s4 eps that felt like fanfic I suppose it's only a matter of time before that also becomes canon.

Yeah, I thought about that scene later after watching Trio. I just can't believe they think it's okay to treat Zelenka that way. Yet there has been tons of talk about how they are emphasizing team bonding and character dev in S4. Some of it has just been contradictory and bizarre. I'm thinking about the fact that Shep has suddenly taken an interest in Teyla's life after ignoring her for 3 years, but I guess that's just my ship preference run amok. Yet believable things like the close bond between Teyla and Ronon get pushed aside. I'm afraid S5 is going to give us more of the same. They keep telling us they're a family, yet show us very little. Does this mean Woolsey will be the daddy, now? *pictures Teyla's baby rubbing his bald head and beeping his nose*

Character dev can mean two things, you know? Character development or character deviations, meaning a sudden change of personalities after three years of consistent behavior... which leads me to my very biased, ship skewed view of this show... Teyla and John? Yeah right. No matter how much tptb wanted that, it never ever worked.

Every time that "relationship" was explored it felt very forced, and I have this feeling that Elizabeth was kicked out partly because she had way too much of natural chemistry going on with Sheppard so he simply couldn't be interested in Teyla's life... that was something what Ronon did so efortlessly but then we got Keller to function as "love interest" for Ronon, so ptb could "explore" their pet romance that never existed on my screen.

Hello soap opera, goodbye science fiction.

Hello soap opera, goodbye science fiction.

The sci-fi element stopped working in ep. Siege III - that was the most horrible affront to physics I have ever seen... And then it was topped by Adrift and an even more horrible affront to physics

I don't know a lot about physics, but I'm an expert in body talk. Regarding my previous post here.... I know what was on screen and what wasn't. Some relationships tptb are trying to push aren't even fiction, they fall into the area of delusion.

IMO of course.

Plot hole ideas

Plot hole ideas

They've already got plenty of those. I see Carson disappearing into one next season also.

Maybe Ford will make an appearance to ask him to go fishing, and wherever they go, Weir will be there also... wearing a red shirt and looking all worried? Yeah. Plotholes FTW.

You can always have bigger plot holes . I wonder how the reset button will work on S5

[Dr Weir]

Why would Michael want to keep Carson alive all this time anyway? For companionship?

It seems so

Ooh, Ford, Carson, and Weir on a boat fishing while the Titanic sinks in the background. Maybe toss in Grodin and Kate too? Manip!

Because he's eeeeeeeeevil. Or that's what he's been dumbed down to, anyway.
