It took me a minute or two to realize who he was.
Who was he? I completely missed him and I watched the most recent episode two nights in a row. ELLSWORTH!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Wait, was he the soldier s(n)arking at Bullock ?
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Kevin, they also referenced Farscape. Really, totally tempting fate.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I haven't actually seen the episode, but I read a summary of it. The fact they said they'd had their special effects budget cut, so couldn't have CGI to finish act 3 and instead planned to fade to black at the end of the act - and then faded to black - amused me no end.

He was, indeed, Frank!

Damn, I may need to watch it a third time, or at least try to catch that scene. He kinda pinged me as familiar looking, but I was so busy thinking about other things that were going on, I didn't even think to play "Hey it's that guy!"

I fear the cancellation may have been a knee-jerk reaction to 30 seconds of what appeared to be Farscape.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Does anybody think Ben and Claudia are going to have a tough time finding work in teevee from now on?

Heh. I hope not! They need to stay on my TV for a long, long, time. Hey, Atlantis is a big city...

I doubt Ben's character is transferable without some redundancy, but Vala doesn't have an exact counterpart among the Atlantis ensemble.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe Vala could kill Teyla. That'd be nice.
