In meantime, ann, I'm confused as I thought

Spoiler:
Christopher H. was Jack the Ripper and Helen's lover and he's playing the Wraith. You think he was playing BIGFOOT too? I don't think so ...
Spoiler:
Sorry. I am sure my other post was confusing. I was typing very quickly during commercial. Yes I do think Christopher H. is Bigfoot or at the very least the voice of Bigfoot. And we all know him as John Druitt, Helen's ex lover and biggest fear. Tonight on Atlantis, Christopher was the wraith. His voice as the wraith was the same as Bigfoot's. If I had a way of recording tonight episode I would love to play it against a Bigfoot scene in Sanctuary to compare the two.. lol I may be wrong, but I'm pretty convince the voice is one and the same. 
And now for the actual episode - synopsis of the episode
Spoiler:
I loved the moment when Sam tells Woosley to shut up or she will have him removed! Woohoo... Go Sam!!
This episode was to show Sam adjusting to Atlantis and having doubts... While the episode wasn't really centered around Sam she certainly played a big part. That was cool with me because there were great parts from the others as well. I don't know if Sam really had doubts just questions. Typical Carter questions... that the future is not predetermined... This goes all the way back to 1969 I think the first SG-1 episode dealing with time in s2. So the character stayed true to past development. Her biggest concerns now are the fact that her decisions are affecting an entire base not just her own life... She even said she wouldn't think twice making the decision if it were only her who would have to deal with the consequences (or something to that nature). Shepp makes a good point they all signed up for this because they share the same desire to help people and make a difference... (again something to that nature... lol I will be watching the 2nd viewing later tonight) I thought it was a good episode. There was more information revealed from last weeks episode regarding Teyla and her people. I thought that was a good continuation and glimpse into future episodes.
Shepp and Sam had some nice discussions. Remember when Jack had doubts when he took over for Hammond... the only way we knew of his doubts/ concerns was as he typed his resignation letter to Hammond, but at the end tore it up. Kinda the same here but Sam talked to Shepp while Woosley followed her around making notes. Sam is just 3 months into her command on Atlantis. She is under review from the IOA (standard protocol). She does gets a pep talk from Shepp, but at the end of the day she she had to make a very difficult choice with not much info and she stood up for what she believed in.
When a threat emerges Woosely over rides Sam's command and takes control over the base and demanding Shepp to fire the weapon ... Sam doesn't back down and says my favorite line of the night to Woosley (see above). She stands behind her decision orders Shepp to stand down ... The danger passes them and Sam's instincts wins out and Atlantis lives to fight another day.
