It was really interesting hearing about Joe Flanigan's attempts to get the franchise going again. I wonder how it would have turned out. And I wonder if I should feel sad about missing out on more SGA. I think I made my peace with the cancellation of SGA, eventually, but still would have probably enjoyed more.
It's happened with a depressingly number of franchises I liked over the years. And I'm sure other people here too.
I feel like there's a lot of that going on especially lately.
Just recently I saw Riddick, which is one of my favorite sci-fi franchises of all time but, based on how empty the theater was, I suspect I won't get any more sequels...
Oh wait you guys were just talking about The Queen weren't you? (i was going to type this the other night. Pretend it's still on topic )
I actually liked this episode. Teyla may have been initially a plot device but it actually explored her character than it's sometimes given credit for. Personally I especially liked the scene when she orders her hive to open fire on the other one. It was a mistake, and it was unexpected but I think it sort of fit her character. Often this fact is overshadowed by the fact that it's also Ronon's defining characteristic, but Teyla also has a deep seated hatred of wraith. With Todd deceiving her and thrusting her into a dangerous situation she was unprepared for, surrounded by those she despises the most, I can see why she might fight back in her possible ways.
And Todd's horrified realization of "you're doing this on purpose" was both well acted and feeds perfectly into his paranoia about being betrayed in First Contact. Now like a lot of things later in the show, I have no idea if that's some clever foresight on the part of TPTB or just a coincidence that worked out but either way I really liked it.
Yeah the surgery was pretty absurd to make her into a wraith, but I dunno somehow I didn't let it bother me. Everyone has their own threshold for how much technobabble suspension of disbelief they allow and this one was right on the line for me but maybe because I liked the episode it didn't cross it. It could have been done better though, maybe if fit was Todd (or better yet him and some wraith mad scientist subordinate) who did the procedure and Keller was the adviser, rather than the reverse. I could buy wraith tech being responsible more than whatever Keller must have been using.
Plus I tend to enjoy it when people outside the usual main cast get the "save the day credit" so I thought it was pretty cool Todd made the save in the end.
