Hmmm…a decent one, certainly better than the crud that was Epiphany and Tower. Granted, the plotline was trivial but at least the episode seemed to move along at a decent pace and there were some nice nods to the continuity fairy.
More points:
-Why on earth did everyone decide that it was a good idea to infect Shep with the alien after Weir was already infected? Sure, let’s put both our leader AND our military commander at risk. Bang-o idea! At least Caldwell stated his concerns, but he should have raised more of a stink.
-The plotline where a crewmember is forced to do things against their will because they have been taken over by something or someone has been done three times so far this season. Can we drop it now? Seriously.
-Has the Atlantis chain of command finally been canonized? Weir then Sheppard then McKay?
-Great acting by Torri – she really portrayed the alien well. I was a bit disappointed that Weir ran around with a gun, since I remember her and a PTB stating early on that she would never use one on the show. Oh well, guess the writers would say it’s not really Weir so it’s okay, just like they excuse away all the kissing.
-Along those lines, it would appear that TPTB is getting a kick out of jerking shippers around with possessed kisses and real/not real declarations of deeper feelings. Oh joy. Can’t wait to see what they do in season 3.
-While those lights on the wraith guns and Ronan’s gun may look cool, they stick out like a sore thumb when everything’s dark. Don’t those come with off switches?
- Caldwell! That was his best show yet, and it was nice to see him get along with Weir and show his leadership skills in the control room.
-I admit, Rodney grated a bit in this ep. It was most noticeable when he actually stopped trying to get the command code, even though he knew there was a time crunch, to argue with Caldwell.
-It was odd to me that Ronon, who seems to shoot first and ask questions later, was so easily fooled by the alien in Shep rather than stunning him immediately and then sorting things out from there.
-Always good to see Teyla thinking quick on her feet. Giving the gun to Shep so he can shoot Weir and then kicking it away because she still didn’t trust him. Smart gal.
-The new control room guy (Grodin replacement?) that we’ve been seeing a lot of…reminds me of Dawson.
