Originally posted by obsessed1Hi 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.*Sig by the wonderful and talented Pegasus_SGA*

Just rewatched it and picked up on the "I don't have a volleyball to talk to" line...
It would've been fun if they had worked that angle a lot more... Not a la Tom Hanks necessarily but more angst and contemplation.sigpic

However, Shep was pretty much very isolated on that planet. Sure, he was with people, but not his people. They had a totally different mindset and wanted him to join them but as he said, that's not the path he chose, hence, going through a bout of depression when he was told there was no way off the planet (or well, the sanctuary). Period.
This episode can be a veritable goldmine for fanfic writers to fill in all the angst, etc. that didn't appear on screen. After all, they compressed the six months to fit the show, but fanfic writers can write as much as they want

Originally posted by mgblandComparing "Epiphany" to "A Hundred Days," I hope Sheppard didn't sleep with the girl and leave her the way O'Neill did.
John wouldn't have unsafe sex! Jack sure. *Ducks*

Originally posted by Drwho'sroseYou know until very recently I always assumed that Jack left "what's her name" pregnant but a while back someone posted a thread wanting to know if Jack paid maintenance for the child and so many people posted that she wasn't pregnant that now I am not sure. *well yes I still think she was*
John wouldn't have unsafe sex! Jack sure. *Ducks*
And I could see Jack giving Shep a lecture right before he leaves for the Pegasus Galaxy...
O'Neill: Just one more thing, Major.
Sheppard: Sir?
O'Neill: About sex with alien women...
Sheppard: (blinks)... Uh.
O'Neill: It's okay, except if they offer you cake.
Sheppard: (confused) Sir??
O'Neill: It's because of the nintendos or whatever (Sheppard just gawks). Anyway, just don't accept the cake.
SHeppard: So, uh, if I don't accept the cake, then I can...
O'Neill: No, if they offer you cake before, don't.
Sheppard: Have sex?
O'Neill: Eat the cake!
Sheppard: But I could--
O'Neill: No, if they offer cake, you can't do it.
Sheppard: (more confused) What if the cake is offered after?
O'Neill: (looks blank) Then I guess you're screwed.
Sheppard: I would think that would be--
O'Neill (just shoves Sheppard toward the door and out of his office): Just remember the nintendos! Or nanobytes, or whatever.
Sheppard: (stands there a second as airmen pass by): Right sir. No cake, sex or computer games.
O'Neill: You'll enjoy the Pegasus Galaxy (shuts door)
