OK, so the strangers come along, find the holy grail for us and then say they're taking it with them. 
People would still object.

Or Jesus' mumified body. How many of you christians would like to give that away if he was mumified?Comment

Since we Christians believe Jesus' body was resurrected, this would not even be an issue for us.Originally posted by aAnubiSs How about a different analogy?

Ok how about the first bible ever written?Comment

We already have a workable example. It isn't worth finding more.
I love that McKay was oblivious to the woman's attentions but that everyone else picked up on it immediately.
I do agree that his initial snapping at the team for their "light moment" seemed a little extreme, but I'll just assume that something was happening in the previous scene (before the beginning) to make him a little tense.Comment

But Rodney did offer Elena the chance to go to Atlantis to see how the urgency of the situation or how the Potentia would be used. But she refused outright...Originally posted by ShadowMaatsigpic

I can still see how she'd say no. I don't LIKE it, but I can see it. It's still the scenario with the holy grail... even if one of the strangers said you could go with them and see how it would be used, A) it still isn't YOUR immediate concern, B) It still removes the grail from your posession, C) that's only you. You have a whole planetful (or so) of people who will just have to take your word for it?? I don't think so.Originally posted by Easter Lily

Should've offered them two empty ZPM:s for a charged one

<nods>Historically - in real life, that is - relics have a power of their own, often taking on more importance than their original purpose and even the god or prophet who produced them. That's what allows religious people to kill in the name of the Prince of Peace, ya know?Originally posted by ShadowMaat
And so, true to form, the modern-day Brotherhood cares only for the relic and not a whit about the lives about to be sacrificed.

A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."

Rewatched this last night...
I love how Beckett is like a pilot now. Kind of sucks when you're a doctor with no flying or fighting experience, but you're one of the only guys who can fly the puddle jumper.Comment

I have very mixed feelings about this ep. I like it but it was so frustrating for me in so many ways that it hindered my enjoyment.
Likes:
-McKay's poor attempts at hitting on Alena
-Shep showing his sexy intellectual side -- but being so anti-status that he didn't actually join Mensa. And Shep's rxn when he got the puzzle right. So cute!
-McKay's 'give me a knife' line
-Teyla and Ford kicking some ass; good to see them actually doing something worthwhile!
-Zelenka and the new tech guy
Dislikes:
-Losing a jumper - NOOOOOOO! And it went down so easily! I don't care so much about the people -- they can always train others -- but how are they gonna build a new jumper? !
-That damn Kolya and the other Genii scum. They need to go away already! And I am SO ANGRY with Shep for not shooting Kolya right away when he first showed up (and was standing up above). Shep is a great shot and so could have hit him. Also, I don't think it's in Shep's character -- Shep would have shot him. Bad writing I say.
-Alena being such a little suck-up, and then when she finds out McKay and friends aren't Ancients, totally becoming a witch. Talk about two-faced!
