This was a great episode, though the first time I watched it the flashbacks were a bit confusing. I thought the acting was spot on. The introduction of the iratus bug and the suggestion that it was related to the wraith was an interesting point.

i like that they show the iratus bug because it suggests the wraiths evaluationsigpicComment

any episode where we get to see Sheppy's chest is good
I liked how they explained some of the wraith with the bug, and there was also some funny bits.sigpicComment

The beginning of this episode smacked strongly of the SG-1 episode where Teal'c got stung by that bug while they were offworld, in my opinion. But then they took the rest of it in a very different direction, which was great. I liked the peril of having the ship stuck and having such a short amount of time to get it unstuck. That being said, I find McKay an incredibly obnoxious character who I cannot empathize with at all. If there is anything about the series that I dislike at this point, it is him. Perhaps he will grow on me as I watch more??? I guess we will have to wait and see.

He might grow on you. But it's doubtful.
This is one of my all time favorite episodes!sigpic

It really did remind me a bit of the SG-1 ep where Teal'c was stung by the giant alien insect. Still, this was otherwise completely different.sigpic

I get antsy every time I watch this episode. I still like it though.But it's clear, at least by one measure, Stargate Universe is going out with a social supersonic boom.Comment

has anyone noticed that this episode breaks wormhole physics?
all matter comes through at the same relative times apart as they went in, and at the same speed/form--- the jumper doesn't stop on the way out, and the back door is closed, too!
HUGE mistake! what should've happened (With more details, of course):
Weir: Why aren't they all the way through?
Guy in front(forgot his name): WTH is going on????
some scientist: The jumper was stuck in the gate.
G.I.F.: What do you mean WAS?!?!???
Scientist: Well, you didn't come through untill the gate received the rest of the jumper...
(spends about 25 mins explaining)
*Taylor and sheppard arrive*
Taylor: Get us out! Sheppard's DEAD right now!
team starts cutting through.
Rodney pops out.
Remainder of Jumper comes out while team's still cutting, leaving a HUGE scratch along the side.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Woman? Did he just call me a woman?"
"Didn't I order you to get a life?"

There are moments where Rodney is.....unbearable. Like where he is more worried about eating than saving the life of a friend and teammate.Originally posted by Elorendil View Post

This is my favorite episodes in season one. But how did Ford avoid getting sucked into space when he opened the back of the jumper as i don't think that holding on would have stopped him.Comment

It depends on how good a grip you have, and how long you have to hold on for.Comment

yeah so true.But it's clear, at least by one measure, Stargate Universe is going out with a social supersonic boom.Comment

So I've only recently started watching Atlantis and this is the ep where I am now.
You have to forgive me but the 'stuck in the gate' thing had me facepalm at first

An alright ep.
First mention of the connection between Iratus bugs and Wraith.
Dr. Kavanagh is the biggest douch. Way worse than Woolsey.
I'm looking forward to the hilarious friendship between McKay and Zelenka.
It was an interesting concept having the Puddle Jumper stuck in the gate. But I don't think it turned out as great as it could have. And I think it got on some peoples nerves regarding wormhole physics.
I can't help but think of Todd the Wraith or John Druitt whenever I see Christopher Heyerdahl.sigpic
