"Identity" (518) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

Sheppard is a whiner too

I swear every time he yells "Rodney do something!" I feel like punching the guy in the face.

Please do

Me too! Can I join the club? Is there a club? There should be a club.

I definately don't want this to happen, I would only be okay with it if it were comedic which by the sounds of it, its not

Oh, I don't see this being played any other way but for laughs. It would be impossible to do otherwise with Rodney. That's just the sort of tone he would bring to a scene like this with his mumbling and stuttering and general awkwardness around overtly sexual females.

And i thought it was only me !!!!! What he things he is asking from the guy? to make him a pitsa?

I'm not so worried about Rodney's part in all this. I'm more worried that watching Keller (her body at least) trying to be seductive will be more cringeworthy than humorous. It's really not something I'm eager to see.

[Ikaros]

Why? she was so cute beeing naughty in firefly and she has the acting skills to do it !!
Give the girl a chance Rememper only a geek can understant another geek .
Btw it feels more like a team episode and not so much Keller-centric. The team must work together to save her and other people in Atlantis. I think i read somewhere in gw spoilers that "Atlantis isn't safe" or something like it. It sounds like a team episode and i love those more than anything else

I'll have to agree with those that say this is similar to eps we've had before, like Machello, Duet and The Long Goodbye but those were great eps and Machello gave Michael a chance to show his abilities as The Long Goodbye did with Joe and Torri. The same could happen here with Jewel. This actuallly sounds interesting.

I think it will be interesting to see her try to seduce mckay- (ok am i the only one who gets that only IF she is possessed does she try something with mckay?) the character is played as miss sweet and not as miss sexpot!

While nobody is insulting JS, such excessive hate towards a character that someone seems to enjoy playing would probably get to them.

I've no problem with somebody not liking a character, but wow, some of the comments...

well she has read the comments and has this to say here. I am sure it must be disheartening to play what you feel is a likeable character and then read people talking about 100 ways to kill her. it would irritate me just a bit.

She won't be playing Kaylee -- or at least I hope not! Kaylee was a young girl. Keller is written as a young girl. I'm dubious that the writers and JS can give us anything that isn't cutesy.

I love team episodes too. I'm not so crazy over team episodes that center around saving Keller.

[Linzi]

Please do

Er, ditto

[Rac80]

People seem to forget that Beckett complained constantly and is probably a much bigger whiner than Keller. Why is Beckett's complaining acceptable while Keller's is not?

I often refer to mckay and beckett as "the moan-a-minute twins!" it suits them to a "T"! For me the idea of an grown adult male whining is simply obscene! they need to grow some chutzpah!


I am more interested in seeing how Jennifer will deal with the bad guys she will be stuck with, than with any mckay interactions.

I meant that she wont be awkward or anything! she is a very good actress and a very sexy woman! what could go wrong in trying to seduse a man?
As for the team , well they have to save someone or something everytime
It's just another mission.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with you. I'm curious to see how another actress would portray the character of Keller.

[Ikaros]

Ok i give up!!!
you don't even like her as an actress, how am i supposed to argue with people's preferences?

[Ikaros]

It's just a matter of what one likes so..... i rest my case
(but she is sexy and Mckay needs a doctor anyway ....)

[Cautious Explorer]

Not true. I liked her in Firefly. I just don't like her as Keller.

I truly am interested in how another actress would portray the same character. She may have a different understanding of the character or a different way of presenting her. I'd like to see it.

Jewel is a professional. I'm sure she realizes that Keller is a fictional character, and some people will like her and some people will hate her and still others will be indifferent. What she might determine to be a "likeable" character may not be perceived as such by others.

Your post and added my space link makes it sound like fans should feel "guilty" for not liking Keller because it may hurt Jewel's feelings. Honestly, it has not changed my opinion one bit. And I don't think the link belongs under this topic.

Speaking of Identity, I find the idea of McKay's attempted seduction laughable. Just another way to push McKeller in an episode.

On the other hand I think this would have been a kick ass episode for Teyla. Her "attempted seduction" of McKay would have been something I'd have liked to see.
