The Defiant One (112)

[Matt G]

Having now caught this ep on screen:

1. I'd re-evaluate Ford's role as small but crucial(he did play his part in taking out Wraith-with-dreads).

2. Brendan's suicide played out differently to how I imagined.

[ShadowMaat]

Sheppard and McKay have this big conversation about how cold the nights get on the planet. I get that they needed some exposition about the timeframe on rescue, but the coldness never plays a part in the story. Hmph.

Watching it on TV here in the US, even though I've seen it already, has allowed me one advantage I previously hadn't had: Closed Captioning. The Wraith and Sheppard both call the Ancient technology "Lantian".

I believe the Closed Captions meant "Atlantean" ...Closed Captions have a tendency to be wrong sometimes.

[ShadowMaat]

Well, listening to Greg say it, it sure sounded like Lantian to me.

Wow, Hewlett's good at emoting. You can really feel his angst and guilt over what happened.

Nope. This has been a point of contention since it's airing in Canada. The Wraith and Sheppard clearly say "Lantian" and now closed captions confirm it. It seems that the Ancients were known in Pegasus as the Lantians.

Could be...i guess we'd never know for sure. Unless someone could get a hold of the script.

I don't think that's confirmation enough, closed captions are notoriously inaccurate.

I feel sorry for the glowly bugs. All they wanted was the food. Otherwise it was an okay episode. I did feel for the guy that killed himself. That siuided was go with McKay for a long time.

[Jeff O'Connor]

Beautiful episode. One of the best, thus far. This and last week's, alongside the premiere, have got to be my favorites right now. The suicide was very emotional. The statements to McKay from him, about how he's changed... breathtaking. Just twelve episodes, and so much development... egads, I'm just so happy with how things are going. John's blazing dynamo, Solid Snake style of trickery and gunplay was as fun as ever. The Star Trek jokes -- especially the one from IV with the 'cloak ship, remember where we parked' got me laughing. The whole thing was nice.

[MartoufMarty]

Maybe Greg was speaking some sort of Wraith slang with saying 'Lanteans'.

Maybe he's just lazy...

Said this long-while ago, but I loved this episode. Haven't watched it since I first saw it, but love it still.

Yay McKay! And Greg!

... Poor Greg

Lanteans not Lantians

I actually liked this episode better then I liked the Eye. I don't know about the guy shooting himself towards the end, but after thinking about it, in a way it was self-sacrificial. The action as well as the humor was very good.

Yeah... he sort've might well have saved John's life. I think that's quite powerful.

[UnderT]

Yeah, it was good, it wasn't quite as good as the Eye but not many will be. I thoguht it was still good.
Maybe they should tow that Satillite back and put it above Atlantis.
