SGA "Sunday" mini review/sorta rant

[wraithfodder]

Ah, I'll stick it all beneath a spoiler cut...

He's dead, Jim!

Argh, I've seen this episode twice already, and it STILL sucks that Carson bit the big one because of an 'exploding space tumor'.  (and can anybody really explain if that's even remotely possible? - I don't think a human body can be that explosive). I'm not sure WHAT the producers/et al wanted to shake up, except the fans, who have been pissed about this for months.

The off-duty day stuff was fun to watch... we see that Teyla and Elizabeth hang together, Ronon hangs with John (who was once married?!) and McKay is finally developing (slowly) enough social skills to date a woman. ;)

Ah, sigh. I did like episode quite a bit - particularly that gawdawful humiliating game Ronon must have concocted just to beat up Sheppard ;) Poor Weir trying not to date someone under her command (the actor reminded me suspiciously of Noah Wylie from "E.R." so what was she doing not dating the guy?? <G>) And... in that wonderful gym scene where Shep got laid out flat, I could have sworn I saw grass stains on the bottom of his sneakers....

The funeral scene was good - I know some folks had problems with the eulegy but I've come to, er, um, cough cough, not expect fantastic writing on the 'gate shows, but just the expressions of Shep, McKay, etc. Aw....................

I always saw the end sequence with McKay and Beckett as a dream sequence as well, Carson's toast (sorry for the bad pun) in which McKay is dealing with the whole horrid mess subconsciously...

You know, being a doctor in the Stargate universe is downright fatal. First Janet on SG1, now Beckett. Ouch!

I could not agree more with the points you made, which is why I've not been writing my own post on the ep...people on my f-list are saying it so much better....

...and Radek's chess shark skillz are so much love.

"but just the expressions of Shep, McKay, etc"


Totally right there.

Perhaps we should warn Carolyn.

Well, I'm sure she'll survive the last 3 eps of SG1 but they can always bump off another doctor in the movies! ;)

You never know;) AFter all, SG-1 killed off thier first doctor in the second episode.

I loved this ep despite the sucky ending. I thought that guy looked like a cross between Epiphany Shep and Noah Wylie. Either case I would have jumped his bones. Wake up Lizzie!!

Uh, yeah, hmm.... she needs to loosen up ;) of course, this might mean she doesn't want to date Mike the hot doctor cuz she's actually secretly in love with SHep, McKay, Ronon, Zelenka, Lorne, or whoever ;)
