'The Kindred, Part 2' (419) General Discussion

[ShadowMaat]

I spent a good few minutes trying to figure out where a "psycho ex-lover" could have fit into the S1 ep Sanctuary. LOL! I thought maybe I'd done a particularly good job of erasing the ep from my memory. I think I was also confusing the ep with The Tower, which was an even more wretched ep (IMO) and seemed more likely to have an ex-lover in it.

Is there an in-show reasoning for Halling's haircut or is that one of those (many) things we (and the characters) are supposed to accept without question?

Have we seen Halling since S1? He might have decided to cut his hair years ago....

Yeah, God Todd forbid something like that should happen.

Well the sarcophagus doesn't stop aging either. Maybe Tretonin or a symbiote would help with that but I don't see it happening.

Umm...it may not have been able to stop aging it entirely, but significantly slowing it was actually its main use. Through use of the Sarcophagus the Goa'uld could live in a single youthful host for millennia, while the Tokra could at most double or triple the lifespan.

I'm pretty sure this last fact means the a Tok'ra symbiote could not save him, nor could a substance that mimics a symbiote's effect on the body.

While the procedure that created him was not the same, the Asgard knowledge is his best chance for survival.







I've always wondered what would happen if a Wraith used a sarcophagus. It might take some adjustments, but it seems like it might even be able to serve as an alternate food source. Of course, while it might be able to make a wraith not need to feed on humans, its psychological effects could make them even more violent and sadistic.


I've also always wanted to see a goa'uld use a wraith as its host.

I agree. poor Carson

[maneth]

Yeah, poor Carson indeed. I loved this episode though. Teyla's fate's going to be interesting too.

[tealcvala]

I loved having Carson back, Rodney is so happy to have his best friend back even if he is a clone

[indielynne]

This was one of the few eps I had not seen, until last night. Goodness, I cried and cried and cried, particularly in the last few minutes. Waaaaa, Carson's summation of his time with the old team, Ronan's words, and that last shot...

true, clone Carson is better than no Carson

Not for me. The cloning thing made his death in SUNDAY meaningless. Like "sad, that he died, oh well, hello new Carson".

I agree. It seemed very fake and amateurish to bring him back like this. I love the character, but this was wrong.

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

Average episode.

Carson came back, but had to go back to sleep. Good to see Halling again after something like 3 seasons.

Tomorrow, the finale, will our heroes get Teyla back from Michael.
