Oh, boys. Never stop being this adorable.

Exactly! I miss this version of the trio.

Ariadne is really doing a good job as queen especially considering all she has been through.

I really really think Jason needs to fail spectacularly it would be humbling and maybe then he will learn to listen to others.

I am not liking how much of the action is taking place at night far away from any sort of light source. I am having a hard time seeing some of what is going on. But it could just be my old televison.

Also why Dion, he is the best and so yummy.

I noticed in the preview for next week that the dead end up rising. So if Dion is dead maybe he will return and continue to be quietly competent and awesome. Like a Atlantis/In the Flesh fusion. (Hey, maybe aislinarchives could write it. I love her Dion/Critias stories and that could be a fix-it) I really hope if that happens he doesn't turn evil.

But I digress.

Good episode. I still miss season one a bit but it was nice that the boys got to actually interact with each other as friends again.

Yes. Sadly, he is the hero, and therefore I'm not sure the writes will actually go that far. He does need to start listening to other people a bit more often, though.

I definitely miss the banter and friendship between the boys. I am getting used to the more serious tone, and I do like it, I think changes were needed from series 1, but I wonder if they have gone *too far* in removing so much of the fun.

Based on the interaction between the boys last year, even in desperate and serious circumstances, they used humour and the closeness of their relationships and trust to get them through the bad stuff. They need to keep doing that, instead of being serious all the time.
