'Midway' (417) General Discussion

[Vala_M]

The "previously on" is McKay's extended explanation of the Gate Bridge from "The Return, Part 1," but with one added line of dialogue that wasn't in that episode: McKay states that the system is completely secure, so there is no need for gate shields or irises. Heh ... yeah.

Really? That is interesting. Was that scene originally filmed for that episode but left out of a "fake" flashback as it's called.

Does anyone have any screenshots yet?

Vala,

So this sounds like an action, Teal'c/Ronon ep? Is that right? Not a lot of team or other kinds of moments? Big old boys ep?

Although that bit about McKay thinking Sheppard is dead, well be still my heart. Hey I have to look for the bright spots!

Oh and Kav lives! He lives!!! *happy dance*

iTunes are doing well this season.

I wouldn't say that. There's a lot of shooting, but the Teal'c and Ronon interaction was good character stuff, and there was a fair amount of John and Rodney. Poor Teyla doesn't get much, but in this case, it was probably because Rachel looked like she shouldn't have been on her feet much. There was stuff for the John/Rodney and the John/Ronon folks in there too; I was pretty happy.

Here's a bright spot for the John/Rodney shippers: Rodney calls Sheppard "John" again. Twice.

I don't know what's up with them. "Quarantine" was 6 days late, and now this is 4 days early.

There was a

angsty-like John/Teyla moment.

Can someone please PM me whether or not Brandon Penny played a Wraith in there? (The one with the tattoo on his chin).

[Matlohyn]

Please, can someone who saw this episode tell me that Teal'c kicked ronon's ass

I really enjoyed the character interactions in this episode. It definitely wasn't just "stuff blowing up."

Brendan Penny is listed in the opening credits. I guess he's the Wraith who works on the gate and that Scott Heindl plays the Wraith leader, but I'm not sure.

They seemed equally matched.

They seemed equally matched.

So.... no winner ?


I can't wait ^^

Nope, Carter stops them after they've been fighting for an hour!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! He's this one:

Aka the one that betrayed Todd to the Queen, we guess. *Hopes he doesn't go boom, but it's kinda inevitable, as he should have boomed in Spoils of War, already.*

They seemed equally matched.

And that was to be expected. AT said the episode 'kinda' addresses who's strongest, I think? It's not like Sam could let them fight to the death...

Just one more thing :

Please, I dont' want a bad news

[Vala_M]

I guess not too many people saw this episode, I expected 10 pages of discussion by now.

I know, I'm suprised it isnt even out on the internet yet.

That makes sense - they say got the info on Midway from Todd, so they are the same Wraith from Spoils of War. I didn't make the connection.

Teal'c is fine - he doesn't even seem to lose any years when the Wraith feeds on him. Ronon rescues him but it doesn't make Teal'c look weak. Teal'c was fighting a bunch of Wraith by himself and was just overwhelmed.

How would Todd know about Midway? They just gated him from Atlantis straight to Earth, right? Cos they were on foot?
