Thrive to spite them

It was the stims that had them hold on to that last bit, Teyla pointed out that it was the medication helping them remember it when she was in the brig. I think it was a combination of the stims and the repetition of rounding up people that helped them remember that one thing.

I didn't like the Katie aspect of the story. It seems like she was pretty much forgotten and then when Sam came aboard the writers remembered about her and had McKay mention her so they could use that as a reason he wasn't trying to hit on her all the time (because that would be really weird since she's in command) and simple character growth wasn't enough. Then, for this episode, it felt like they remembered -- Wait! Rodney has a girlfriend! We have to show her!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Well, and they only have so much money to hire repeating guest stars....

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I have no clue who Katie was, but that may be due to the eyerolling that had me skipping a bunch of the last couple of seasons.

also, weird moment at the end when Shep is in the infirmary recovering and he's remembering. Teyla says something about more people would have died, mentions McKay, and Sheps says "Who's McKay?"? Was that meant to be funny, because if I heard right, it seemed that they just ended that storyline with Shep having no memory of him.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I heard "How's McKay?" As in, upon hearing that people had died, that's who he immediately started worrying about. (To be fair, Teyla and Ronon were right in front of him.)

I heard, "Where's McKay?" though I was confused by the urgency. I mean, slashy goodness, of course, but in the framework of the show, I couldn't figure out why he'd be worried particularly about Rodney - but, OK, if Teyla and Ronon were there, then... "Where's McKay?" makes more sense. I was kind of half watching.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Andi and I just watched. It was "Where's McKay?" after they mentioned 'Many more people would have died."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Nothing on Torchwood, yet? I caught up on the last two episodes. TKKS was wicked dark. Glad they added that little bit between Jack and Ianto at the end to lighten things up a little.

Random Shoes gave me allergies, which I wasn't expecting. I'm not sure exactly what happened there (or if the teacher who gave Eugene the eye knew something), but it was affecting nonetheless. Was Gwen hearing him all through the show, or just at certain intense moments?
