I felt the need to make a new thread for this just because I keep seeing it time and time again, including in the most recent fan review. People are complaining that it's unrealistic that Sheppard's disappearance had such a huge effect on the unfurling of events and is the primary reason things went bad.
It was crystal clear from the episode, however, that Sheppard's disappearance had precious little to do with things going bad -- i.e. not finding Teyla in time. The ONLY reason things are expected to go better after he's returned to the present is because he is armed with specific information provided to him by HoloMcKay.
I guess it just seemed perfectly obvious to me, making me do a double-take when I see so many people note the same "flaw."
