What to say about the ep? Well I still prefer S1's The Storm but Lost Boys was pretty good. I like how they made it more intense and darker with Ford and his gang. The enzyme is obviously still making them a little unreasonable but obviously they can't tell. Poor delusional boys.
Loved seeing Wraith tech, yay for the dart. I'm presuming the sniffy thing and why he could fly it were Conversion related stuff and the interest would also be with ATA - they had the necklace beacon from Rising so it'd make sense if their tech had ATA alerting abilities. Wonder if they can detect beamed up ATA people and what they do with such people? Anyway...
If the enzyme enhances mental abilities too, i.e. with Jace, will it have enhanced Teyla's wraithy abilities too - could see that being a key to escape - she's more aggressive on the drug too, so maybe she can go one to one with a Wraith mind now - and not get taken over.
Bothered by the inconsistances of Wraith strength. I know that they seem to have a hierarchy and the facehugger ones die easier but they only took one stun to get down in the flashbacks to the gang capturing some Wraith, and SuperFord didn't even go down with one stun in Siege 3! Plus the flash grenade, how does that work on a facehugger guard? I'm presuming the mask must be a bit like the dart canopy and though it looks like it's just covering maybe it takes sensory input, explaining why the guard could still get overcome with the stun.
Loved the sniffing Rodney thing too, I suppose he's unappetising for whatever reason they've yet to explain - the natural immunity that seems to have hinted at but not explored by the Atlanteans. Otherwise why was he a runner? I'm presuming its the they can't eat him thing. No wonder Steve's brother wasn't pleased to see him, like having fake food in a cell - looks the same but no munchies.
And I don't quite believe the sudden beaming people down/murdering half the team will be the last we hear of them - but wow on the unexpectedness there. The 'no one could possibly survive that' just screams of 'oh but they can and they will because they will rescue them'! I could be wrong but I figure it may very well not be the last we see of Jace and co who took that fateful fall. After all it's a ship with artificial gravity, maybe they can come right back round. Or there might be a safety procedure, the Wraith surely wouldn't want the food wasted trying to fall to their death or the like.
The keeper - so sad not to see bright blue hair or something. Fanfic spoilt me there. But yay for women being at the top in Wraith society, at least I'm hoping, they seem to have the best powers and I can't wait to see if we get told/shown just what they are capable of because there must be more than just the pithy shadow thing the Wraith usually do. So far its shadows and taking over Teyla but not much else. I really expect to see more in The Hive, or I'll be sad - need baddies to have good superpowers after all and so far they only have scary tendancy to suck life and regenerate related to that. Looking into his memories etc would be interesting...
And yay for Wraith alarms being just how I imagined. Granted it's probably obvious what theyd be like but it made me happy watching the episode.
Lastly, Lorne was so cute here!
