-Rachel does have a lovely voice, but sadly I didn't really care much for the song (would have been better in another language) and thought that the voiceover didn't really fit with what was going on onscreen.
I agree that the song would have been better in another language. At that point, pretty much anything she sang in English would have sounded perhaps overdramatic and just...off. With words we can't understand, we could have focused on the tone of the music and it might have fit the scene better (although come to think of it, "Beyond the Night" at a dark moment - realizing one of their own is a spy - is somewhat appropriate).
I accidentally spoiled myself for the Caldwell reveal (seriously, don't read the New Atlantis summaries unless you want all the fun twists ahead of time), but it actually worked for me, because if you watch the ep knowing that it's Caldwell, then you can see how some of the things he does an certain inflections at certain moments fit with the spy role. So, good job, Mitch.
What was the make-up artist thinking here? Cadman is very much overdone in this ep; tone down the shadow, please.
Carson-Teyla interaction, yay! I loved the fact that we got to see more of Teyla's character in this ep, and that we saw Carson sticking to his oath. Great job on both Rachel and Paul's parts.
Someone wanna write me Weir/Kavanaugh fic from that interrogation scene? Okay, just kidding (really), but I wouldn't be surprised if some pops up. Honestly, there was way more animosity there than can be explained by their interaction and relations with each other as shown thus far in the series.
And I really need to be in bed now, so catch y'all later.
They say the geek never gets the girl...what about the girl getting the geek?
Rodney/Teyla...it could happen

Awesome episode. The Athosian (sp?) B story was a bit distracting. Rachal's singing was good but I'm not sure if I feel much for that story since, to me at least, that story is so minor compared to the A story of the episode.
I guess Col. Caldwell is still going to be a recurring character on the show. I guess he was duped by the Trust rather than being a member of it since the beginning (but how did the Atlantis team really know this?).
Good to see Landry, Walter, Dr. Lee, and Agent Barret doing the crossover thing from SG-1.
I was questioning Dr. Weir's decision to have the Daedalus back, however. I guess it's possible that the message from the SGC may had been tempered with (although this is not so plausible) as to have deleted the part where the SGC was still uncovering more intel about the mole.

Caldwell never voluntarily worked for the Trust, he was infested with a Goa'uld.

I've taken pretty much any talking out of it, and crossfaded the parts where other parts have been taken out, so there is a touch of strangness in some parts

Hey, Cadman can have whatever hair she likes as long as Shep is in charge. ^_^ Military rules on Atlantis are pretty easy-going and different!
Sheppard's haircut is pretty far from regulation, so I doubt that he has a problem with his subordinants having some freedom in what they do. Last season, I read a bunch of complaints that the Marines in Atlantis weren't as neatly trimmed as real Marines are.
Personally, I thought Cadman didn't really come across as a Marine. But hey, she's a bomb technician, and a computer expert, so her value to the military isn't based on her on marching proficiency.
Awww, I love this episode! I even don't know where to start why I liked it
We saw more of Teyla...It was very nicely done, and I'm sooo in LOVE with this song It fit's so well into the last part! I liked Carson, how he tried to help Teyla...he's a very nice men, and somehow thus, she wasn't as alone as she thought
Kavanagh vs. Weir, I like this constellation...but hate this Kav-guy...I didn't thought I can hate him more, but with this, he prooved that I can *g* Poor Elizabeth seemed really a little hurt after his reproching! Kavanagh is the guy, who don't even need a symbiont to do something like plant a bomb into Atlantis... even if he weren't it this time! I'm with Elizabeth, and would have suspected him in a heartbeat
Caldwell as a Goauld...priceless
Yeah, Ronon could hardly await to torture someone...this guy must find a new hobby like tennis or so
I loved the interaction between Liz and John at the end... He really tried to cheer her up with this Zelenka-story and reassure her, that she did the right thing... He's a nice guy too *kuddles John and Carson*
Zelenka hates kids...thats mean But I liked his new hairstyle
I think if they really went through with the torture, then you almost have to get rid of kavanagh. Because he would'nt stay there after being tortured would he?
I like the fact that Kavanagh fainted... it was a very Firefly/Joss Whedon sort of device... A bit of unexpected humour in a rather potentially dark situation.

Anybody else notice the handheld camera when Weir decides to torture Kavanaugh?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Seemed kind of odd, considering there is very little obvious handheld work on Stargate. I wonder if they'd been watching BSG lately?
Such a great episode! One of the best methinks! I love the spin offs! Last time we saw Earth in real time was in "Home" and now we had so much time with Earth! Too bad they didn't show anyone from SG-1 though!
I thought Teyla's story was a bit out of place. I was looking for a reason they put that old lady in there! I actually thought she could be a goa'uld! LOl
Teyla has a nice voice. I really hate it when characters sing but she did really well!
The pony tail guy is really annoying! I hated him ever ssnse "Letters from Pegasus" No wonder he doesn't have any friends. He's a complaining machine!
Wasn't he in "Window of Opportunity" and was hitting Teal'c with a door in every loop?
Caldwell - a bit unexpected, I think. At first I thought that he could be but then I realized that he wouldn't be so happy to help Atlantis find the bomb...
Hey did I understand this right... electric shock disables Goa'uld for awhole? That's new. Or is it? lol.
I hope Dr.Weir wouldn't take the pony tail guy's words seriously! he's such an @ss!
