What if...

[jelgate]

This episode reminded me of the scene where Sheppard went to go pick Ronan and Zelenka from their camping trip in Echoes. What would happen if Missing had involved Ronon and Zelenka on the run from Bol Kai.

it would be pretty well the same ep really. Except zelenka would have pwned!

No way. I won't even entertain that thought. The women never get this kind of development on Stargate- stories like this have always focused on either male characters, or male characters and one woman. Here we actually got to *gasp* see two female characters get some character development/relationship development that actually spanned an entire episode! They never got this much screen time before! It's about time, because we've never seen a proper friendship develop between female characters on Atlantis, it's always been about the guys, and I find that kinda annoying- don't you?

I agree that woman of Stargate never get development, but I think Zelenka would have been more scarad than Keller and Ronon is a better fighter than Teyla. I think Ronon would have been more aggresive than Teyla who had a stealth attiude

Well for starters, Ronon isn't the type of character to ever go anywhere without his gun, no matter how safe he thinks it is. However, if they found some way to write it out of the picture, there were only two Bola Kai guarding the gate. Rather then look for a distraction like Telya, he would've just charged them and things would be over before it begun.

Ronon would have shot the Bola Kai while Zelenka muttered something in Czech. The End.

The peril of Missing was that Teyla didn't have a gun. I'm not a writer, so lets say Ronon didn't have his gun, do you think he could have still taken out the Bol Kai at the gate

I addressed that in my previous post...

It = his gun. So yes I think he would've been able to take those two Bola Kai out without his gun. Telya had an opportunity to try, but she wasted time thinking of a possible distraction and talking to Keller. Ronon would just ran at them, (without much of a word to Zelenka) jumped into the air, and came down kicking and punching while managing to avoid their weapons. Of course that's probably not exactly what he would've done, but the bottom line is that he is very adapt at disarming hostiles and is not the type to give a second thought to charging them.

I don't think Ronon would have been the best character to be in this ep. It is fine the way it was done.

I agree 100%, but the thread is a "what if," not a "what would be better..."

Ok fine spoilsport.J/K.

If it was Ronon and he didn’t have a gun, he would have armed himself with the Bola Kai weapons from the first fight. He could do some serious damage with those.

[jelgate]

How do you propose that Ronon is able to get a hold of the Bola Kai's weapon

[Detox]

Well, from Tabula Rasa, we know that Zelenka is fully capable of running around and beating people with sticks.

If they had attacked him (as they did Teyla) and he killed some, the weapons would be available... from the first fight.
