Miller's Crossing Pre Airing Speculation and Discussion (Spoilers)

[ashman2]

perhaps the episode has something to do with the film 'Miller's Crossing' from about 1990.

Martin Gero is writing this, he has a habit of having his episode titles be puns on the name of films

Childhood's End (name of a famous novel)
McKay and Mrs. Miller (the western by the name of McCabe and Mrs. Miller)
The Gift
The Lost Boys
etc..

LOL lets just hope his Earth name isnt "Murray".

lol, ah Murray, it's a name that's served Teal'c well. Perhaps Ronon's more of a Marvin?

[Steve_the_Wraith]

He doesn't need a nickname - Ronon is a fairly common name where I come from (It's Ireland btw)

[cshawzye]

Perhaps he doesn't need one but it's fun to give him one none-the-less.

That's cool - do you know what it means? *curious*

We spell it Ronan, pronounced almost the same then

Ronan "ro + nan"
From ron "a seal." Legend tells of a seal who is warned never to stray too close to the land. When the "seal child" is swept ashore by a huge wave, she becomes trapped in a human form, known as a "Selkie" or "seal maiden." Although she lives as the wife of a fisherman and bears him children, known as "ronans" or "little seals," she never quite loses her "sea-longing." Eventually she finds the "seal-skin" which the fisherman has hidden and slips back into the ocean. But she can't forget her husband and children and can even be seen swimming close to the shore, keeping a watchful eye on them.

That's interesting! Thank you!

Ronon might finally be able to check out a TV

Just had an interesting thought about this ep...

'atypical civvies'?

...Maybe this time we met the alternate Jeannie?

[SallyLizzie]

...Maybe this time we met the alternate Jeannie?

That would make more sense than the real Jeannie crossing the bridge into an alternate universe.

Wait, didn't JM say this was the ep where we got vulnerable Rodney? So...

"Self doubt for one; parenthood for another,
And this brilliant young mom may be needing her brother"

Could the first line refer to Miller's Crossing and the second refer to M&MM?

It could be an AU where AU!Jeannie & AU!Rodney are a like a super team, and then AU!Jeannie finds out she's preggers and Rodney doubts he can carry on without Jeannie.

Er... yeah.

mckay sister come back to Atlantis and she get kidnapped by some one don't know who ???

[PG15]

What are you talking about? Do you know something about the episode we don't?

[rosey_angel]

mckay sister come back to Atlantis and she get kidnapped by some one don't know who ???

she does?

the way i've interreted the spoilers from JM and others, i gathered we'd be seeing Jeannie on Earth, coz some of the info seems to indicate Earth stuff... *hopes is not thinking of another ep, coz that would be pretty embarressing*

[Jack'O'Neill]
