A little dissection of the episode. Full of spoilers, etc. etc.
Okey-doke.... "Remnants." I'd say that the Woolsey story was the main story, and I think I saw Teyla and Ronon. Ah yes, they were at breakfast, twice. Darn. Anyway, being a Shep whumper the Shep story was what I was fascinated by... loved Sheppard's "Lorne warned me about you" to Dr. Parrish (and I can only guess he took the trip to the mainland because he was interested in the female scientist who was babbling away about plants?
But the whump. I really sorta thought, being a bloodthirsty whumper *cough cough* that hey, you hack off a hand, and unless you superglued or plastic-wrapped the stump, there's going to be some bleedthrough. Ack! And while Kolya was using Sheppard's face as a punching bag, I heard from another part of the "oh, there goes a xygomoid (or whatever) bone". Ah, watching whump with an EMS worker is... interesting! ;) Then hearing about blood loss and shock.
Personally, I would have loved a lot more on Shep, and hey, the fans have nailed it on the head with Shep beating himself up. I can now hope to (please please please) wallow in some great fanfic to flesh out that part. I mean, the psychological repercussions should be there. Woolsey, well, he'll probably wonder who's he's talking to and if they're real, and the fact that Zelenka wasn't real was good. I hadn't really thought that!
Some of the editing was chopping. On Atlantis, a few seconds of Sheppard walkling and then back to the control room and it was like "whhaaa???" I would have loved for this to have been a purely Shep episode, but well, guess beggar's can't be choosers.

Date: 2008-11-20 12:10 am (UTC)I actually used to know him quiet well when he was in the Seattle Area. He used to be on a little local show called "Almost Live" back in the '80's and '90s that was very kitschy local humor(you'd have to be from the area to get it type stuff).
He also used to do a lot of local 'shows' at Elementary schools, and such, so I met him several times at those type of events. Very very cool man.
After seeing David's recent Twitter(from yesterday) I can only almost hope that he convinces him to drop by the con *cue evil laughter*.
