This was a bb ep...
I can't talk enough about it, there is no rating of this ep, it was just fantastic. Now be prepared for slight exclamaitions, recriminations, and chastisement of different things based on this ep, but it is definitely one of the best eps, reminiscint of S2 (my personal-fave season, which is getting beaten by S3).
About the ep in general: I wasn't feeling the beginning because I kept getting the feeling like I was watching Alien, so to hear John make comment on that was funny, especially since before I even saw Submersion I kept asking for an ep on the abyss (and unfortunately Submersion less than lacking when comparing it to The Abyss). That being said, I wasn't really looking forward to this ep that much since also I didn't hear the amount of chat on it that I dealt with when Sunday aired or even Submersion for that matter. But despite the Alien look, and the plastic Super-Iratus hands, I was okay with it. I even liked the cocoon thing, it brings back the S1 ep The Underground...and the connection with Conversion was great!! I also liked the division of the team with McKay/Teyla and Ronon/John, great great division and still great chemistry and team unity. This is one of the best pieces of great writing for an episode and story. Plus it definitely took into consideration fan complaints, except for maybe mine in regards to leadership.
Let's begin...it's not all nice.
Weir is the lucky lady in spoiler tags, since most people will probably be offended by what I say; since I've seen people take character criticism personally.
Spoiler tags will be my wordless disclaimer. So don't whinge to me later, I give you a chance to ignore it.
Good Mckay, he was real funny, I really liked this ep for him, although I do have one point to say. You'd think that McKay would carry around duplicate crystal keys, especially after 'Lost Boys', it's too convenient that the wraith dart was near by. And no, I don't find carrying spare duplicate copies of gate crystals convenient.
So true, so true, so true. Ronon was true to form. He was telling like it is and I'm lovin' it!! I was like yes, you and Teyla were on the same page, but she was more supportive of the Atlantean decision, but overall he did say, 'Hell no!!' even if he did follow suit with the team. I loved Ronon in this ep, it was a great ep for him and finally no lap dog to the rest of the team and put in some more thans than just brute force. Not to mention I was getting a bit tired of seeing Ronon being b***h slapped around, or having his ass handed back to him. It becomes a bit disheartening to say the least. I loved his mini he-man sword, it was cool, and came in useful. Much props to the scene with him and Rodney it was funny. It was realistic.
**Although I'm still holding out on my Teyla teaching Zelenka
scene (that's a not-so subliminal message to writers to put that scene in...)
Well, it was Shep. I don't know what more to say than that. I mean it was Shep saying he hates bugs, it was Shep in shades, it was Shep biting his tongue when Ronon started laying down the truth, cause he knows Ronon is right. It was Shep listening to his second in command who had a very logical and definitely healthier plan (thank you Teyla) and it was shep looking good in black. I like Shep. Shep is good, pretty much as is. Oh and it's Shep buffed up and against Michael, so all was good for me around Shep. Bit of superficial and bit good support, I think he was fantastic, but there was nothing overtly dynamic than seeing him react to Teyla and Ronon, so that was his plus. Further more, another great ep that proves my point that Teyla does not take order's from John, she chooses to follow suit if she cannot think of something better. But she steps up and makes him listen when he's wrong.
Now, what's up with Tey getting kidnapped again. Now if a similar incident didn't happen in lets say The Ark, I really wouldn't have a problem now. Her whumping is good for me, since I like it, but really---It's a bit done too much, although it definitely fits more so here. Rather than having her kidnapped in The Ark, she should have been hurt or something, that would have flowed well and not seemed too over one, but realistic. How did Teyla do in this ep? She did great, logical moment with John, understand her commentary with Michael, and anyway I just like any scene she shares with Michael---there's serious energy there. If you're wondering, I would be a shipper for them; but there's way way way way way way way too much baggage, they'd kill each other. In Michae's first statement, when he said something about sharing and reversing the retro-virus; I thought he was gonna make Teyla his queen...don't ask, just don't ask!! Otherwise, it was the same old Teyla.
** Oh and in the scene with the big bug showing his face, I thought I was gonna have to deal with a Teyla raped by a Bug scene...more disgusting things have been known to be thought. Yes, but then I saw the mini bug who changed that idea.
****Oh and I find Teyla getting kidnapped or captured is like Ronon getting slapped around like a... ( you know what I'm getting at) this season!
<---That's Michael. Okay so Michael was great, I love Vengeance and him showing up. I like the new enemy and how this adds to the show and storyline. It's bloody great, now I have the Wraith, the Asurans, and a new enemy who's easily blasted away by Ronon's gun. Of course in next season they'll make them far more resilient, becuase I'm sure Michael will having problems with how easy they were to kill by Ronon's gun and work on that, which will be great.
This ep makes me look forward to S4, so I loved it and definitely beat out Sunday and Echoes and goes right behind Sateda, Progeny, and the Return I.
Bloody Brilliant!!!

Besides being the voice of reason and throwing a few ninja kicks, she does nothing.
Besides giving out a few orders that Chuck could do on his down time, she does nothing---doesn't even give me ninja kicks and apparently never will.
