Was anyone else disappointed in this week's episode of SGA?
Okay, the transition of Carter wasn't as bad as I'd feared, so that's a plus. And I liked the clash between Shepherd and Carter over Elizabeth, not just pretending that last week never happened. What bugged me was that, for the second time, Ronon's people were bad guys. I get that there had to be a reason for him remaining on Atlantis instead of going with them like he planned, but it would have more character-tension if he made the decision to remain on Atlantis with another viable option out there. It would have given Ronon a bit more depth, instead of just being a shoot-'em-up resolution. I would have liked for his friends to be genuine Wraith-hunters, for the mission to go wrong and then the capture. And how did they know that Rodney was the one who programmed the Replicators? They wouldn't have told outsiders that, would they? Then finally, I would have liked them to have rescued themselves instead of Carter-to-the-rescue. They've gotten out of tough fixes on their own before - is this what we can expect now? Is it going to be Carter pulling their bacon out of the fire, instead of them pulling off their own daring rescues?
I'm hoping for better next week - I haven't allowed myself to be spoiled about any of the episodes, so I am looking forward to this.
