    But the Ancients have already done the 'playing God' bit with that whole 'seeding humans' thing.

      I might be wrong, but I always believed thruout the entire Stargate legends, the ancients were still in human form when they "seeded" the galaxies. (makes better sense)

      Unless if they were using some form of precollected lifeform seeding process via computer, as in I think it was "Scorched Earth" where the Enkarans were about to be wiped out by the giant ship, that would be the other most logical "seeding" theory the ancients could have used.

      re: the "monster in the woods". Based on speculation, when I first heard about this episode, I thought of the monster being similar -by size only- to the giants in SG1's "Crystal Skull" episode. Now I'm wondering, where there any visual similarities there?

        As you can see, I have to wait another month plus.
        And how did Jack leave Lara in "100 Days"? Just left her. THe speculation about her being pregnant is just that, fan speculation, but in this case, Teer left Sheppard, not the other way around.

          Yeah, and I don't think there were any real feelings, on either side. IMO, Teera was just a girl he has a physical attraction to, triggered by the fact that he feels very lonely.
          And Teera felt the attraction because she had seen his face for all her life and he was their hope to finally ascend.

          So Real Feelings? - Not if you ask me!

            It warrants further attention but I doubt whether we'd get it.

                    From my understanding, the method Beckett is going to use to turn Wraith into humans seems perfectly viable. Converting a wraith wouldn't be any different than curing Shep because at that point, his genetics were almost like a wraith's anyway... from the prototype virus that gave him all the bad RNA in the first place.

                    ...this is coming from a composer/symphonist though. ^_^
                    Didn't Beckett state that, "Wraith have no need for a digestive System, so why have one at all" (Instinct-season 2) the one question I'm posing is, how is the retrovirus going to create a digestive system in the wraith or are they going to be life sucking humans? What I have heard about the episode 'Michael' seems to suport this though I may be wrong.
                    Any ideas?

Ronan and Teyla were great, though I am getting a bit sick of seeing them together all the time...

                        Best line of the ep - "I didn't ask for a log!"
                        Haha, he was really snarky, yea!

                        Not on Sheppards side, I didn't get that either. I think he was hedging his bets, what if I am stranded here maybe it wouldn't be so bad with her, but please get me the **** out of here I am so bored.

                          It was the delivery rather than the line for me.

                          Because they were boring people. He was just using her for sex...

                            That's a rather unappealing way of looking at Shep...

                              It is rather, isn't it?
                              I'm sure it was not meant to be taken seriously though..

                                Hi there, I'm new to this, but here goes.
                                I havent seen this ep yet (UK) but when i read the spoilers for it i kinda imagined it this way.
                                I thought the beast was going to be a manifestation of the villagers fears (As it was-sorta) but also that it would be a manifestation of Sheps thoughts and fears.

                                I imagined that that was how the whole Shep backstory would tie i. I thought that Sheppard would get the opportunity to ascend but they say he cant leave until he resolves the issues that prevent him from going. i.e. Afghanistan.
                                Then you see I thought it would link to flashbacks of his time there and why he cant resolve the issues and henceforth cant ascend.

                                In a sense I think Epiphany without that parallels what his time in Afghanistan may have been like. In the sense that he was abandoned and alone. His comment on "we dont leave people behind right?" seemed very personal and specific to him.
                                I dont know. Thats my thoughts on it anyway.
