Todd Thunk/Appreciation

[Laura Dove]

hun thats just the producers being too cheap to make a new scene

But it's very well done. I watched "Common Ground" countless times, and never noticed before doing my screen caps!

Okay, it might be because I was too busy drooling over Todd.

lol neither did i! but i knew they must have done in other scenes

On a different topic:
I had never noticed before, but when doing screencaps of "Common Ground", I observed that the closeup on Todd's face before the first and the second feedings are in fact exactly the same scene! (When Todd has his head turned towards Kolya and slowly turns it towards Sheppard.) It's just cut a bit differently but a large portion of it is the exact same scene.

I never noticed that, I'll have to watch very carfeully next time I watch that episode. Thanks for pointing it out. I've noticed that they'd done the same for other scenes in other episodes though, but not that one.

Look who I happened upon:

I think I have a guess about when Todd was captured... I am in the process of rewatching all SGA, and something Cowen said in "Underground" caught my attention: "Many generations ago during a culling, the Genii were able to shoot down a wraith dart." (It's how they got a wraith storage device.) Anybody else thinks Todd could have been the pilot of that dart?

[Todds worshipper]

Laura, you might be on to something there...I'm going to watch "Underground"

[GoSpikey]

Ouch! That would be a looooong time ago. Go ask Joe?

[GoSpikey]

And a Commander culling himself? Hmm...

[Laura Dove]

Ouch! That would be a looooong time ago. Go ask Joe?

Joe doesn't answer my questions. I guess I neither praise him enough nor give him opportunities for a sarcastic reply. Not to mention he's not interested in the wraith, aka SGA main aliens. *shrug*

And a Commander culling himself? Hmm...

Maybe there was more to it than a mere culling, like in JenKM1216's story. Or maybe the Genii don't know the difference between a culling and whatever Todd and his wraith were doing at the time.

Anyway, Todd being captured "many generations ago" seems fitting to me. I always believed that he had been held here for more (possibly much more) than a human lifespan.
