I loved this episode. It had some of the best Rodney/Carson moments in it and some great acting from David.

[gateship15]

i agree

Duet is one of my favourite episodes as well. David H., Paul & David N. all do a fabulously hilarious job. Some of Joe's bits are also very funny. My favourite moments are: Carson's "Oh crap" & dive for cover from the crashing dart, Rodney's conversation with Carson in the infirmary after first waking up, Cadman in Rodney's body having the conversation with Carson in the infirmary, the dinner scene, & of course the scene with "The Kiss"! All comedy gold!

Feel the love.

why didnt they continue to study the wraith beaming device. the possibilities are endless if people can be stored in as small a container as that, it could be used as an amazingly efficient storage system, an evacuation method, a vaccum cleaner...

This episode is absolutely hilarious!!! Cadman being stuck in McKay's body was so funny! The date with Katie was great, as was the debates between between Rodney and Cadman where they keep switching back and forth. Hewlett did a good job of portraying the changes in character.

I agree, great episode, one of my favorites.

Great ep, even if a bit of a filler storywise. Still, it had the best comedic moments of the show so far, and definitely showed DH's acting to best advantage. And the kiss was great, as was Beckett patting Cadman's hand once she was back in her own body. I wish they'd explore Wraith beaming tech further.

This episode reminded me of a Star Trek Voyager episode when two crew members got merged together in the transporter. Though despite the similar theme the SGA episode was miles better. Possibly the funniest one to date and it was very interesting to see them get a hang of wraith beaming technology. I hope they can use this new knowledge to their advantage in the future.

I love this episode. DH is amazing as Cadman takes over his body.

Having just rewatched this episode again for the 5th or so time, I just wanted to comment on the excellent acting skills of David Hewlett, who shows once again that he is a very versatile and talented actor. I get the impression that he had an immense amount of fun with this episode, and just ran away with everything. It was good to see him interacting with people on a non-professional level. A lot of the time he's present for his knowledge of tech, but this time, Zelenka told him off and put him in the naughty corner, which meant we got to explore a bit more of Rodney's personality away from his lab.

On the subject of Ronon, I found that he is much more aloof and calm in these earlier episodes than in later ones. In both Runner and Duet, even when he's violent it's in a very controlled and quiet way, whereas he seems to spend more time being louder and angrier in later seasons.

This seemed to quite clearly be a McKay/Beckett/Ronon episode. Other characters, in the form of Sheppard, Zelenka and Ms Psychologist (I forget how to spell her name) are present and quite active, but in more supportive roles rather than the spotlight. Weir and Teyla's roles were incredibly diminished. It seemed Teyla was only present to be used as a prop for Ronon, to show his 'softer' side when he comes to apologise to her. And I think Weir was mostly around to remind us all that she's still leader.

I do think it's a shame that Lorne is such a crap shot with a rocket launcher though. Heheh.

...Ms Psychologist (I forget how to spell her name)...

Type it with me -> Heightmeyer

Or just check my location.

Ah, but that screencap has sparked many fun captions.

I think I'm afraid to think about the possibilities.
