    The bugs looked like the Prodigy beings because of Mr. Breakspear's VFX department, not PDL.

      Wow... I've never been refered to as Mr Breakspear... makes me sound really serious! I'll let you in on a secret...

      The bugs are real. Seriously. They live in a jam jar on the MGM lot in Vancouver. The reason they look like the prodigy bugs is quite simple. The contract the prodigy bugs signed with the producers means that whenever we do a show with "glowy yellow bugs things" that we have to use Edna, Kevin and Syd (oh... that's their real names by the way). They control the glowy bug market and there's nothing we can do about it.

      We wanted to use the gargantuan pink fluffs, a race of multi-eyed scaled beings from the outskirts of the Pegasus Galaxy that we found on a scene scout last year. They wanted too much money and each bug wanted their own trailer. It just wasn't worth the legal battle in the end and so we opted to use Edna, Kev and Syd. Oh... an interesting note: There are only three bugs and we had to shoot motion control to duplicate them into hundreds.

      Alas... all the vfx department had to do in The Defiant One was feed the bugs. The eat a lot on donuts and their favorite color is yellow.

        We see mc kay getting better, but the wraith is kind of disappointed (the actor who plays it). The episode is definatly good, but not the best.

          I don't think this episode was even good, i'm not saying it was horrible, or the worst episode yet (because it obviously wasnt), but i would have taken an on-world SG1 episode over this. Although, i did like Mckay in this episode

            I think it was the same actor who played Steve.

              Did anyone hear/remember what word the Wraith ("Greg") used to refer to the Ancients? I couldnt' quite make it out... and it didn't sound like 'Ancients'.

                OMG! ROFLMAO! Are you sure you do visual effects and aren't actually a writer?

                    what about the ancient orbital weapon?
                    it looked pretty nasty! i'm sure mckay just has to plug in a few wires in it to have a new toy to play!

                              "This ship... Is Atlantean" - The Wraith (that's actually how he's credited... darn it, I wish Sheppard could have given him a name)
