I haven't read all the posts, but saw a few relating to Michael taking a 'trohpy' from Ronan and speculating on exactly what he would have done.
My guess is Michael would have taken off Ronan's head and held it up like he did with the Wraith queen in last year's season ender.
Any other guesses?

5.) Why didnt the team that was captured and gave info to him give him a phony iris code that would make atlantis base raise the shield like in Forsaken with jonas and the chick.
as to teyla and michael....if she hadn't have killed him it would have ruined the whole eps...because he's like freddy krugar, or mckay accurately compared him to a roach, in that he doen'st die and go away like he should. If teyla was merciful, michael would have haunted her and toran's life forever

I agree, Michael had to be killed in this episode. Another escape would of brought the build up to this episode to nothing. The scene with Sheppard and Michael fighting on the outskirts of Atlantis will always be a memorable moment in the series to me.
Just to compare eps..
Spoiler:I will never forget the moment when Sheppard shot Kolya to save Weir in "The Eye". Hopefully that powerful moment will be shown in the next episode. Along with all the other Kolya and Sheppard heated momentssigpic

I really enjoyed this episode. The fight scenes were awesome and the end fight really got the heart going because you knew earlier Michael had beaten Ronon and threw him off the balcony and he's alot tougher than Sheppard. Of course you knew he wasn't really gonna die. I thought for a second Lorne might have gotten the chop until they said "He's just unconscious".
Joel pulled out all the stops in this ep. The music was great and added to the epicness.
A great end and long over due end for MichaelJedi_Master_Bra'tac, previously known as wako!

Originally posted by Infernorhythm View PostWow, great episode.
Michael lost it more than once, Ronon and Michael got to finally duke it out, McKay and Zelenka bickered, and Teyla kicked butt. Definitely an awesome episode.
Kudos to the fight choreographer. The Ronon/Michael fight and the Sheppard/Michael fight were just brutal.
Oh, and Sheppard and McKay finally acknowledging the numerous suicide missions? Great bit.
"You had two years"! Great line!

Also, what happened to the off-world team? How did Michael get this information, were they captured?
As for Nelson's team, their fate was left to the imagination, but knowing Michael, they are very, very dead. He "convinced" the team in Vengeance to radio Weir and give her false information. I'm sure he was equally persuasive here. He either turned them into hybrids where they have to do his biddiing or gave his pet Iratus bugs a snack.
Originally posted by Briangate78 View PostHmm well the scene was very well done. She did hesitate, but Michael killed so many people, and used her child, and turned the father of her baby into a Hybrid. When you look at Sheppard's face it is like Sheppard is almost saying, do it. Michael did deserve to die, but it is just so moral knowing Atlantis was the one who created him. So does the creator of the monster have the right to kill his own invention? Truly very deep.
Originally posted by JackHarkness_Hot View Post1) When the splash destroyed half the puddlejumper, why didn't the other half of the ship explode? Is it cos the main power drives were at the rear of the jumper hence didn't pose a problem with it getting half-destroyed?
I think the power cells/drive/whatever must have been in the back for it to have shut down so quickly (no sparks, etc).
Originally posted by JackHarkness_Hot View Post2) With the countdown programmed to the puddlejumper and the Atlantis system, when normal power was returned to the city, wouldn't the self-destruct program be still in place but with the source of the power be replaced from the puddlejumper to the ZPM? Is it that simple to disengage Atlantis' self-destruct, by basically turning the city off and turning back on again much like a PC?
