Enemy at the Gate

I have to say this was a better series ending then SG1's was.

Todd was great in this episode and I loved how he fained indifference when Woosley was talking to him. Wonder what they are going to do with him now?

LORNE!!!!

John was wonderful as always, though I wish he would stop trying to get himself killed on almost every mission. Thank you Rodney for stopping him...again.

LORNE!!

From the spoiler pics I knew that Ronon was not going to die but now we know why he had scrubs on. But then he did die and I was like what the heck! Glad that Kenny gave him life again.

Loved the dog fight between the darts and the 302's I was holding my breath has the ground was getting closer and closer to Shep's ship.

Loved the nod to Don Davis by naming the new ship after Hammond. Kuddos to the writers for that.

The fight between the Hive and Atlantis was also great.

Carson flying the city!!! WTG Carson!!!

LORNE!

Interesting that John would end up this mission right at the same bridge were it started when he tossed the coin before starting on this adventure.

Keller was a waist of film and I just about lost it when they had their arms around each other at the end.

I give this a 10++++

Vegas

I LOVED Vegas !!!!!

AU Sheppard was very hot.

Liked the way they told about how the Wraith that was doing all the killing arrived on Earth

And I loved how they introduced Todd to John. And even though he had never seen a real Wraith till then John did not seem too freaked out by him.

Rodney seemed more sure of him self in this AU then in ours.

Rodney and Radek (in a suite no less) acted the same.

Could have done without Keller, and the bit of fluff between her and Rodney. At least it was brief.

Liked the way they added some of John's back story into the epi and that he was flying copters before coming a cop.

One thing I hated was when they did the flash backs in the odd color it made my eyes go nuts and the bit in the porker game and when the Wraith was going through the casino as well.

The ending was WOW!! and even though it was not our John I hated that he died in the end, but at least he died a hero just like our John might have.

And if he was shot as he got near the trailer there should have been a lot more blood on his shirt from all the moving around he did.

Great job on Joe's part

I can't wait to see how it ties in the next week’s epi.

I give it a 10 out of 10

Identity

Carson!!!!! yeah!!!!!

Poor Radek getting stabbed by "Keller"

John was great as always. Ronon as well..the rest meh.

I must say Keller is better when she is not in her body .

Did not like all the Keller cleavage we were forced to look at when she was in Neeva's body :cower:

Wished the axe man had not been shot by Neeva's goons.

Wonder where the pineapple was hidden in this epi...


One sorta good Rodney quote:

But you were shot, he was just......stabbed.

Not the best from this season so I am giving it a 5 - 10

Infection

Loved seeing the dark side of John again.

Could have done without the Keller/McKay mushy scenes.

John and Todd work off each other better then Rodney does..well in this epi anyway.

So where the "sick" Wraith the ones we saw back in DV in the AU Daedalus? That instead of dying they some how survived in their reality?

And since they have no hair I guess this means they must have been the bald "people" in Misbegotten.

And this is the 2nd time a Williams has died on the show.

Thought the ending just left you hanging.... but other wise I liked it a lot.

I give it a 9 out of 10

The Prodigal

Did not have to wait that long after all....they had it shown at the con!!! not once but twice.

Ronon's report had everyone in stitches (me included) . Thought the stun bubble was a great idea by Michael.

The banter and snark by John and Rodney (and some from the Z man) was great. The remote cars races were funny.

Loved the fight scene with Michael and John and John getting whumped..and the hair moved in this epi as well.

Loved the stairs bit where John would come running up them and then we would have to wait for Rodney who was panting by the time he reached the floor and tried to catch up to Sheppard.

I give it a 9-10

Inquisition

I thought it was OK ...not as good as Letters from Pegasus by any means and the clips used were ok but not great.

Gas whumpage!!!

I liked the way John stood up to the charges brought up to him at the start...but hated the way they dumbed him down when Woolsey got there. Wish we could have seen the others standing up there in front of the Coalition. I mean look what Rodney did in Trinity ..and nothing in the epi about that.

Once again Ronon and Teyla hardly did a thing.

Though I did like the way Woolsey turned the trial around so our guys could win (was there any doubt they would not get off?)

And I can't see they taking orders from this group at all when things need to be done in order to save lives ASAP.

Liked the bit at the end with John and Richard...the brandy was a nice touch... though I did not like to see John smoking the stogie at all. Wonder how long he had smoked them before? With all the running around over the years he would have been winded if he smoked them daily...but he did everything like a pro.

I give it a 6-10

Outsiders

An interesting epi...not a lot of action in it but still good.

Great to see Carson again but I wish they would of told us why he was back and not on Earth still.

John was great and take charge as always. Liked the way he got back at that jerk and the Wraith at the end.

Carson and Rodney worked great together. The both of them crammed in the dart cockpit was funny.

One thing I hated was one min Carson was all bravado (standing to the head Wraith and being fed upon and telling that town jerk to shoot the survivors) and the next cowering with Rodney behind a console ..did not like it.

Though the jabs they had at each other was great. And I loved the way they got off the hive ship.

Ronon and Tyela did not do much in this epi....

So Michael gave "Carson" the Hoffin drug...interesting.

Oh I found the pineapple..







it is right behind John in a basket

I give this epi a 8 out of 10

As for next weeks epi...WOW!!!

The Lost Tribe

Another OK epi.

Loved the way it started with some Shep whumpage and some Radek as well. One thing I do not get is if John had on his flack jacket how did the glass get through into his back if it can stop other stuff from getting through it?

Shirtless Shep at long last!!! even though it was only mid chest and up. And I see he was wearing his dog tags at long last.

Todd was great as all ways, though it was odd the way he hard his arm slung around Woolsey the way he did.

The banter between Rodney and Daniel was not as good in this epi as it was in the last one.

Ronon was great as well ...loved the way he got the ship out of hyperspace by blowing up the trays the way he did. and the "The life support tray is over there....I think" was typical Ronon.

Keller shooting a P90!! are they crazy to give her a firearm?

Was not thrilled about the Asgard part in the epi.

Loved the space battle though some of it looked more like a dance to me.

Nice to see the Travelers again though I wish Larrin had been there.

The 15 yr old girl running the engine room was interesting.

Well I guess Ronon got his answer about who Keller is picking as her love interest.

I give it a 8-10

Can't wait till next weeks epi and more Carson!!!!

First Contact

I loved this epi.

Daniel and Rodney were great together...loved the way they got back at each other for not telling the other about something that could hurt them.

John on his bed ...*THUD***

Loved the way John looked when he was told that he had to stay put and run the city while Woolsey was away...he just did not like the idea at all.
Woolsey: Try not to blow up the place while I'm gone.
Sheppard: No promises (and look what happens)

Want to know more on the bad guys!!!!

And the Wraith are bad once again....even though it was a mistake.
I a way I felt sorry for them, when Todd was talking to Keller about what they would do when they no longer had to feed off of humans..I felt sorry because they did not know what to do since they had been doing things this way for so long.

Loved the flying shots to different parts of the city that Daniel and Rodney went to like they used once before.

John was great as aways and OMG!! what a ending I will go nuts till we find out what happened to him and Radek.

I give it a 9 - 10

The Queen

Thought it was OK...not one of the better ones.

Teyla made a good Queen and Todd was great in this epi.

Lots of double crossing going on including from Teyla.

Some good space battles and effects.

The boys were great as always..and there were lots of great one liners

John : "fruit bowl...nice touch"

Todd : "I hope they prove as delicious as the farmers who grew them."

Rodney "I can't I just had my third cup of coffee I am completely wired"

Ronon "I hadn't noticed"

John: "What have you done to her, doc?!"

Kenny: "I don't know. I am not on that ship."


And Todd's SIC has been named Kenny (not killed yet)

I give this a 6 - 10

Whispers

Thought it was OK....not as "Horror Movie" scary as I was meant to believe it was going to be.

One thing that bothered me from the start was how could John not know that one of the teams under his command was all woman?

The hand bump John did with Carson was cute. Wonders what would have happened if Rodney was with them.

Carson was great in the action scenes and was more confident when it came to using a gun then he had been.

And for once someone besides John did some kirking....go Carson.

The woman team kicked some butt as well.

So Michael can't control all of his creations...interesting.

And I am so glad that one guy got what was coming to him when he would not shut up when told to....he learned that the hard way.

I give this a 7 out of 10.

The Shrine

Once again DH has bowled me over with is performance in this epi. The way he goes from typical Rodney to childlike Rodney and slowly losing everything was just incredible.

Loved the way Ronon tried to comfort Jeanie after she saw Rodney the first time.

Keller was above par for once in this epi.

Loved Woolsey's dad story.

The bit with John and Rodney on the peer (John barefoot no less) was touching and funny in it's own way....the Arthur bit and then both of them cracking up was a hoot (wonders if it was ad libbed or not)

Nurse Shep was interesting John looked like he was going to lose it when Keller started to cut in to Rodney's skin...and he had to look away when the drill was used.

And yes I bet John has seen his fare share of medical drills in his time.

Nice to see DH sis again and she did a great job playing against her brother in this epi as well.

I give it a 9 1/2 out of 10

Ghost in the Machine

I thought the epi was OK.

The opening scene was gripping in a way and John trying not to get stuck in the gate (again) by hitting the pj with it was cool.

The whole non Weir bit bothered me..I don't know why really but it did.

Liked that Woolsey got a backbone at last and did a great job bluffing the replicators into stop sinking the city.

Ronon hitting the wall....ouch. Good thing Ronon was in the room with Rodney since the good Dr fell asleep

Shep whump.

I thought Teyla was going to say something to John after she had talked to Fran/Liz because something Fran/Liz said to her puzzled her and it looked like she did not believed it was really Liz.

The ending was sad but I guess everyone knew it had to be Liz for "real" for what she did to save Atlantis once again.

I give it a 7 - 10

The Daedalus Variations

I liked the epi.

Seeing Teyla helping Rodney out was interesting. And Ronon getting upset and hitting the rail gun console and getting a easy Chewie from John was funny.

And I wish they had fleshed the epi out more, seems things were to rushed to me. And I have a feeling we will see the new bad guys again.

Did not like dead team Shep at all.

Liked it when Rodney got shot and he screamed like a girl LOL

Loved the talk between the two John's LOL

Any one catch John saying "Umm Daedalus..this is Daedalus" to his other self? wonders why he said it that way.

And the bit at the end was funny when John thought that Rodney having kids was the worse thing to think of.

Not the best epi so far but I will give it a 7 out of 10

Broken Ties

Loved the darker side of Ronon.

Woolsey and the doors not once but twice was great

The scenes with him and John were well done as were the ones with him and Teyla.

Woolsey and the baby were funny as well.

Both of the withdrawal scenes were well done and I was shocked that the gurney Jason was on did not fall apart from all his lashing about and pounding on it.

I think that there was too much Rodney banter in the cell.

Loved the part when Ronon woke up and told Rodney he wanted to hit someone, and it would be him if he did not untie him and get him some food LOL.

Rodney in the bath tub....thank god he had bubbles in it that’s all I have to say.

The part at the end when John gave Ronon Tyre's sword and not a word was said really got to me.

I really enjoyed this epi and give it an 8-10

The Seed

I have to say after all the hype it was a let down to me.

Great to have Carson back though.

And we find out what happened to Kanaan and the other hybrids.

When Woolsey was talking to the guys about Carson's cure he kept stopping in front of John as if daring him to "volunteer" for the injection.

John strapped to a bed *drool* Great acting on JF's part for the convulsions, crashing and dying bit.


One (OK a few things from this epi bothered me)

1: where did the microbe come from before it was on Keller's hand? And why did no one else see what was still on her work station?

2: When John was crashing the nurse that was bagging him never squeezed the bag so no air got to John's brain.

3: Once again John crashes a ship and is not even fazed from the impact.


Everyone else just seemed under used in this epi.

I give it a 7 -10

Search and Rescue

WOW what a way to start off the new season!!!

I liked the way they added Ford into the epi...cleaver.

Shep whump to end all Shep whump!!! Loved the whole Shep/ Ronon bit when they were in the rubble and later on during Teylas rescue.

I could not stop laughing at the look of horror on Rodney's face when he had to deliver the baby lol. Hope DH was not like that with Baz.

Shep in scrubs drool

Wonder who took the jumper......Michael does not have the gene.hmmmmm.

One thing that bothered me was the name Teyla gave the baby....she said Torrin John after her dad and Shep, yet in Rising her fathers name was Tughan.

Keller was not bad in this epi and so long Sam.
