Poisoning the Well (107)

[captain jake]

The only way we will see it is if he get's captured and a wraith attempts to eat him.

[BC - 303]

i think we will find out on ronans backstory episode.

[captain jake]

Will there be one?

[BC - 303]

Season 3, Sateda, its going to be all about Ronan.

[captain jake]

O ok cool.

Might wan't to put that in a spoiler tag.

[BC - 303]

Im staying relitivly spoiler free, just knowing theres an episode about Ronan and its name isnt THAT much of a spoiler, you could find that out from watching the advert for that episode.

[captain jake]

Are they advertising yet?

Finally a Beckett episode where he can stand tall for his believes.
I liked it much that it was about the experiment and not "another lovestory" (often that kills good eps) Ok only that heart breaking scene in the end *cry* I guess my fav beckett scene! a crying carson - a doc with heart. *sniff* Carson is so sweet *hug him*
And we have "Bones"^^

I just was bothered by McKay a bit, say unneccesary things but I liked that lil gestures in the end when Carson came down the hallway. Steve and Shep were so cool but it was (exspecially with Shep in the end) like steamroller tactics.

and meh I liked Steve.. my fave wraith^^

Really liked this episode. Love Beckett!!! Love Steve! (Not in the same way, of course.) I liked the dark ending. I don't know what's going to happen in future episodes/seasons, but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of this drug.

I loved all the focus on Carson, but the ep itself was kinda draggy and far too preachy for my tastes. I could, however, buy 96% of the population agreeing to the drug. Americans sure as hell wouldn't want anything to do with it, but these people are from another planet with a very different mentality, different problems, different culture, different everything.

different everything, but oddly..... same clothing, architecture, furniture style, technological advancement, than on early 20th century Earth (or America, more precisely). How did they explain this strange coincidence?
I don't suppose humans were taken from Earth at this era, and I can't believe they could evolve from primitive to exactly the same fashion as Earth.
I just don't like when aliens' fashion & design are too identical to humans'

Now you must remember did not the Ancients come from the
Milky Way Galaxy and went to Pegasus and populated it and developed
it until the Wraith Arose? Then they left and went back Home to Earth.
So there are many reasons the same type fashions could be found
thru out the Pegasus that would mirror the Milky Way.
But that is a good question, just like in Stargate, the Ancients built
the gates, but the Goul'd used them to enslave the people of Earth
and took them to other planets and they mirrored the Egyptian Society.
Who knows? but there are a lot of different worlds there that are not
copies. Teyla's World and Ronan's seem to dress differently than
your average American. Even though Ronan does have the Afro Dreadlocks.

*laughs* Well, I knew I recognised "Perna" from somewhere, and now I know why. She's played by Allison Hossack, the same actress who played Zenna in the SG-1 episode "Cure" - watched that today and got hit by the clue-by-four.

Yet another example of the Vancouver casting pool? Of course, in thirteen seasons' worth of shows you're bound to re-employ a few actors (not counting main cast members). Simon/Narim was the most noticeable reuse of an actor from SG-1 to Atlantis, and I'm sure I'd have noticed Zenna/Perna before now if I were a more devoted SG-1 fan, like some of the other members of this forum. But glory be, it's a double-take to notice them. Maybe we should make it a drinking game?

[Angela V]

So sad for Steve! My son wasn't scared of him at all. Though he kept saying "I know that's an actor in there." . He likes Atlantis too much to stop watching because of some scary dudes.

[neurophobic_and_perfect]

I felt kinda sorry for steve - he was all locked up and it kinda reminded me of when lions get put in little boxes.
Good epesode overall though. Lots of emosional wumping for Carson.

This was a great episode, about moral issues and deeply thought provoking - I love episodes like this. It was disturbing to see what happened to Steave, and the treatment Sheppard gave him wasn't pretty at all. Yes I know, there is no way to reason or negotiate with a species that considers you a meal, but it was disturbing.

I loved Carson moments in this episode.
