A quick Todd banner (it's animated). I couldn't think of any text to put on it.
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
AU-Todd's scene is sad, but his treatment wasn't really a surprise.
Todd reciting poetry is funny, though.
Love the animated banner!! As to the show
Spoiler:
I found this ep depressing. I don't know if it was the show, that it's the next to the last show, or both! I love the romantic book of poetry idea for poor doomed Todd, BizS. I just wanted to clunk those people over the head and let him out and hug him!
Finally! We can talk about Vegas! Even if it is in spoilers. I watched the unauthorized ones on the computer, but I still watched and recorded the episode.
Spoiler:
Todd's performance literally makes my chest hurt, the proverbial "heartache". The first time I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes. The poetry is funny, especially when Rodney says, "This one fancies himself a poet....not good." lol But it's also beautiful too. And no matter how many times I watch it, I get a shiver from Todd's steamy-breathed "John Sheppard". (So their body temps *are* warm! I always thought their temp would be on the cooler side.) Oh! Does anybody know what the first words are out of Todd's mouth? Right before he says "Busy busy busy..." I still can't understand it. Thx.

MCKAY
You mean feed on humans? That's just what they are. We're just…cattle to them.
TODD
Fish in a pond. Busy, busy. Lots to do, here and there.
MCKAY
This one fancies himself a bit of a poet…not good.
TODD
Dry as a desert outside. No place to go.
MCKAY
He's also delirious from starvation.
TODD
Eat up! Get stronger! Think, and hope. Think…and hope. Don't look now! Oh, keep dreaming. There must be some other reason for your existence.
[He focuses on Sheppard as he talks.]
SHEPPARD
Didn't you get anything from him?
MCKAY
Nothing. And believe me we've tried…everything.
TODD
Defiance tastes like life itself. No river. No water. Die in the desert. Darkness all around. The harvest moon is rising. Wraith are never-ending.
(he gets closer to the wall in front of Sheppard)
I know the future. Come inside…I'll show you…your destiny, John Sheppard!

I loved Vegas. It was a very different feel. I liked Todd's poetry. It was very intriguing (sp?) and lured you in, like it lured in John.
Knew you folks would be busy talking about Vegas! I haven't seen it yet but I have seen a vid clip of the Todd poetry scene and I always read spoilers!
Spoiler:
I agree that the poetry draws you in and although it is literally heartbreaking to see Todd like that, IMHO it's not as sad as it might have been - look closely at Todd's eyes: they're full of defiance and pride.
"Defiance tastes like life itself" is my all-time favourite line in the entire 5 seasons and to me it just sums up everything that I love so much about Todd.
And even locked up and delirious he manages to stick it to Sheppard - you can just about see Shep c**p himself!
Even starving and in a perspex cage he's still my brave, proud, defiant, beautiful Todd.
The wait until Tues for the full ep will now be intolerable!

Can you guys please check the poetry in my sig? If you've seen Vegas that is! I don't think the first line is correct
Spoiler:
I don't think Todd should have been in Vegas at all, or not in the starving state that we saw him in. It was unbelievably painful to watch The only good part (of that whole cage scene) is that Christopher Heyerdahl was amazing

Watched my vid clip and ,yes, your first line is correct. It is:
Spoiler:
Fish in a pond, busy, busy
