As far as them not putting up enough of a fight - well, I accept that time wouldn't allow for it. Instead, we get the sense that these two did all they could, including hand to hand fighting...until the exits were all blocked off and they had no where else to go - it was their last stand, and they made it together. Remember, in SoW, Todd saved his own ass while the others were taken down - he chose not to do that this time, but instead he stood with Ronon until the very end. I don't look at the scene in a TECHNICAL way, instead I see it in a POETIC sense. It's not about whether or not they could have escaped, or put up a better fight - it's about two enemies putting aside their differences, and giving their lives, for a common cause.
It was the best scene, IMHO, of the entire season...not just because of 'Todd', but because of what Todd brings out in Ronon. Not sure how Ronon's life will go after things are set right, but in this timeline his journey is complete - from Wraith hater, to a brother-in-arms with one. Just fills me up everytime I think about it...
Gonna stop now...really need to get some sleep...
