Haven't TPTB learned the ice water trick? Make your actors drink ice water before a scene so it lowers the temp in their mouth and makes 'em less prone to fogging up. Although I suppose Hewlett/McKay is so full of hot air that all the ice water in the world wouldn't have helped.

I found that this was a pretty good episode. As for McKay, I realize that it was slightly over-the-top... But you also have to look at what he has dealt with recently. I'd find it somewhat more annoying if he WASN'T acting the way he was... It adds a sense of realism, I mean few people (who I know) could deal with what he's seen/experience and not have some sort of effect on one's personality.
Anyway, just my two cents.sigpic
In the infinite expanse that we occupy, whose to say that something's impossible?

Besides, who says the temperature on the planet was warm? We only know it was high in solar radiation. I'm not a physicist (where's Rodney when you need him?) but I personally don't equate high solar radiation with high temperatures. Sure, it has to be warm enough for Williamsonia sewardianas to grow, but I'm sure it can tolerate a little cold.

And now for something on topic...
Does anyone know how the Wraith culling beams work? Furling God made a good point in his thread about getting rid of the Wraith: shouldn't they (or don't they) have the means of knowing where people are so that they don't wind up sweeping random empty stretches of ground?
And sending THREE DARTS for ONE guy on an empty planet seems a little excessive, especially since they SHOULD be able to tell exactly where he is with that tracking device.
Did Beckett crush the tracking device when he removed it from Dex? I can't remember. Because if he didn't, then the darts should bloody well have honed in on HIM instead.
Or is the radiation interfering with the signal? Funny that it interferes with a superior tech tracking device, but not with the Atlantis team radios (the cave did, but only inside).

Beckett said something along the lines of "I turned it off," so that explains that. Whether this means he destroyed it, I don't know, but he was undetectable.

It's a pity, though. It might have been interesting if the Wraith had targeted Beckett. But then, that would take attention away from Ronon's ep and Ford's storyline. *sigh* Ah well. Maybe someone will adopt it as a plot bunny.

That would've been a nice touch, though it might have taken some screen time away, and the only thing they could subtract from would be the fight. I think he put it somewhere anyway, perhaps in his medical box. Heheh.

And any good doctor wouldn't leave his kit behind.
