Does anyone think this was bad karma from 48 Hours coming around to bite Rodney on the butt? I'd like to think that one reason he came up with using the gate was his past experience working to reintergrate Teal'c.
I love how Teyla presented herself in that scene. Ronan wants to apologize and she acknowledges him by inviting him to come in. Her stretching was a nice moment further embodying her strength and culture as an Athosian. Plus, Rachel Luttrell has studied dance, and I think it was nice for her to incorporate that into her character.
Now you've got my angsty mind working. But I think it would have been overkill, a little. Rodney has had so many people dying in front of him: "Defiant One", "Hot Zone", "Intruder"... It would have been interesting if Cadman had sacrificed herself, and then later they figured how to power the rematerializer and Cadman came out fine as if she'd just been beamed up, that her life signature in the machine was intact even though a copy of her consciousness went into Rodney when he was rematerialized. That would have been a poignant resolution, that Cadman was fine but the person Rodney had been with was lost. It would have been a complicated situation for Carson too, because he bonded with her, but the other her, even though they are the same person, and to see how Carson would interact with her.
Yes, I absolutely would have paid to see Sheppard's worst nightmare instead. The Sheppard/McKay interactions would have been absolutely priceless and it would have been a experience to stick with them. I wonder if that's why TPTB didn't use a main character to put in McKay, because it would have been an experience that would have affected their interactions and they didn't want to go there. I think it would have been an opportunity for McKay and Teyla to have to learn about each other, but I guess Teyla wouldn't have been as pushy and intrusive as Cadman, which they wanted to bring to the episode. Anyway, I know this isn't a thread for fan fiction but since you mentioned it I thought I might let you know of one I found detailing Sheppard's worst nightmare: Don't Mind Me.
