    hey, im all for her becoming a recurring character, not a regular, but id like to see her again, not talking like every other ep, but once or twice more (this season) would be nice.
    Ford: You know we still haven't named the planet yet
    Sheppard: I'm sure the ancients have a name for it
    Ford: How about atlantica? Something like that
    Sheppard: I thought we agreed you were not going to name anything anymore

      McKay's rampant paranoia/jealousy of Sheppard in this episode struck me as a bit off, does anyone else think so as well? And I loved the part where everyone yelled "No!" when Sheppard asked for private time.

        I thought that McKay and Sheppard were both wildly out of character in this ep. McKay isn't THAT rabid and Sheppard isn't that sex-starved.

          I agree with shadow although I understand Mckays character being arrogant and always moaning about something I think it was overdone a bit and as for sheppard wouldn't any man be mesmerise by a beautiful woman.

            Mesmerised? Maybe. So completely captivated as to forget everything and everyone around you without drugs or mind control being involved? I sincerely hope not. Let's hope this was a one-off and that it doesn't become a recurring character trait for Sheppard.

              Sheppard just never seemed the type to jump on a "hot chick" almost immediately.

              I'm with Shadow. . .hoping this doesn't become a regular character trait. I prefer Sheppard as a "thinking" person. .not a hormonal one.

                Maybe Ancient females have super-pheromones that us human men cannot resist.

                  Let's bring Chaya back but find out she is totally evil. . .she has Sheppard totally under her spell, and moves on the other men of SGA.

                  No. . wait. That was "Hathor". Hmmm. I liked Hathor. Nothing like a good, beautiful and EVIL woman.

                    Did Sheppard have sex with whats her face?
                    Based on their behavior after the picnic, and John's "not having slept last night" when Rodney asks him, we can reasonably assume that they did indeed have sex.
                    I'm pretty positive that Shep and Chaya did NOT have sex, because of the way that Shep responded at the end when Chaya offered that they 'share themselves' -- Shep's 'okay' seemed to indicate, to me at least, that he thought by that she meant having sex -- a reasonable assumption. If they had had sex, wouldn't he have responded by saying 'um, didn't we already *smirk* 'share ourselves'?'

                    In response to Shadow's bashing of the episode:

                    One of your main complaints was that the episode doesn't provide any new info about the ancients. What you are forgetting here, though, is that probably not ALL SGA viewers have seen SG-1. I fall into this category, because I have never had TV, and I like to watch things from the beginning. So I know virtually *nothing* about the ancients, and this episode was VERY enlightening for me as a result. So please, keep in mind, not EVERY person watching SGA is a seasoned SG-1 expert. And thank god, TPTB seem to realize this.

                    In response to Shep falling for Chaya:

                    I don't think it's fair to criticize Shep so harshly for being interested in Chaya, and I definitely don't think she is 'just another pretty face' -- or that that was how he viewed her. Shep is very intuitive and sensitive to his surroundings (as we witnessed in Home), so I think it's safe to assume that he sensed, even if merely unconsciously, something special about Chaya. Also, while I'm sure he DID want to shag her (and who can blame him?), why couldn't he also be playing the romantic card to get more info out of her and to try and secure the treaty of sanctuary on her planet? In any case, thinking Shep was just after a bit of fun is oversimplication. As in most cases, he almost certainly had several motives.

                      That was pointed out to me already. However, bigger than the fact that "we already know this" is the fact that it was, IMO, presented in one of the most unoriginal, unrealistic ways possible and with little or no effort made to make it "unique". Boy meets Girl. Boy falls for Girl. Girl isn't what Boy thinks. Cue the credits. When I say that there's nothing new in this ep, I mean in every respect, not just the stuff about the Ancients.

                      But like I said, hopefully it's just a one-off and the rest of the season will be a lot better.

                        From my perspective, it seemed like she fell for Sheppard a lot harder than he fell for her. She was willing to leave her charge of defending Proculous just to be with John for a little while.

                        And don't forget her super-pheromones!

                                After I looked up the meaning of Kolya's name which turned out to mean 'of the conquering people' I have now started randomly looking up the name meanings of guest characters. So far they have proved to be oddly accurate.

                                Chaya Sar:

                                Chaya - 'life giver'
                                Sar - 'noble ruler'

                                TPTB do their research
