I need to go back and figure out who the writer and director is.
I'm pretty sure the writer was Brad Wright and the director was Andy Mikita.
And now I will wait for Dana to get the episode so we can flail at each other.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Really liked last night's SGA. I thought DH did a lovely job. It's really the first ep of the season that I've felt engaged by. Figures.

Last night's SGA was really good. Yes, hand-wavy medical stuff. But I think Hewlitt did a great job. I wish that there'd been a bit less magic cave from Ronon, and more cave with mysterious healing effects. The latter's more "science we just haven't figured out" than, well, magic cave. Dex's from a very techie world and background--I don't think they should be playing him as superstitious as the writers seem inclined to do.
Still, it's a minor nitpick, I guess. I loved the McKay/Sheppard interaction, and I really liked the tension between the team and Keller. It seemed very character driven and believable.

Dex's from a very techie world and background
This is the problem I had with him banging on the ship's firing panel like a gorilla in that episode where they kept jumping to alternate universes. The writers seem to be dumbing him down.
And word to everything else that's been said about last night's ep.

Isn't that just the way—now that it's cancelled it'll probably be stellar episodes all the way to the finale. Oh well, if so I'd rather have 2/3 of a really enjoyable final season than a couple more lackluster years.

I fear there's going to be a Stark-shaped hole in the rest of the season. But you never know, they may surprise me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Hewlett really did do a nice job, even if the thing as a whole was decidedly heavy handed (Woolsey's thing, in particular). OMG, the slash. There hasn't been slash like that since...I don't know when. Chaya, maybe.

It might even have outdone "Sanctuary." I don't know how one would read McKay's behavior in that as anything other than jealousy, but there weren't any scenes where I thought he might actually end up in bed with Sheppard. I wasn't so sure about the "you can hang out if you want" scene last night until it was over.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm wicked pissed about the McKay/Keller thing. I think shipping her with Ronon is far more interesting.
Besides, there is no one in two galaxies for Rodney but John. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
