YAYAYAY I'm sick of people saying they aren't watching the show anymore because ... its scifi.

Whatever...

AGREE. (But you knew that already.)

Oh, if only this is setting up season 5! With the balance of this episode, so that Teyla hears about all their deaths and beats her way out of Michael's lair with one of the hybrid's arms, all "I am going to go dig my people out of styrofoam right now, and there's nothing in this whole galaxy you can do to stop me." AND THEN we do the rest of season five in the style of science fiction! OMG. OMG!

I know! *jumps up and down with you some more*

IF ONLY, dude. if only! I really feel optimistic about it - they have conned me into thinking that they can do better, all season, and I believe them now. I will pay ten thousand internet dollars if Teyla beats her way out of Michael's lair/into the mound of collapsed styrofoam under which her people are trapped. *hopeful hand-clasping*

I will up your bid by a factor of ten! I would pay one hundred thousand internet dollars for a scene of Teyla grabbing a pipe and kicking some ass in an eight-months-pregnant way. (Also, taking off the silly silver lame jacket thing that makes it look like Flash Gordon. Possibly she could strangle Michael with it?)

Wait, wait, actually, here's my real solution: Teyla kicks ass on her way out of Michael's lair, dials up the Athosians, puts together a strike-force of underfed POWS, and goes to save her people. Then Halling is like "but of course we would help Teyla to look for you! You are her people as well!" ahem.

man, IF ONLY Halling got to have that moral-high-ground moment. And, you know, maybe a role on the show? Maybe?

The silver lame jacket was at least 30% of why that scene looked like bad 70s scifi, AGREE.

I haven't seen it yet and I always get nervous at the end of seasons just in case they really mess it all up - especially after what I think is probably the best season so far.

This though, you, give me hope that I will love this episode.

Thank you.

I hope that you do love it! I was nervous, too - no show is so capable of breaking my heart as SGA, and they do it over and over. But I promise that it's good!

YES YES YES. This ep made me tear up for the first time too.

(Oh, Rodney!)

Oh, Rodney!

I couldn't believe that I was tearing up. I turned to eruthros all delighted, like, "LOOK! REAL TEARS! IN MY EYES!"

I just saw it for the first time (as in finished 5 mins ago), and am still kind of stunned. But. Yes. A whole lot of yes!

I was so worried, Kindred 1 and 2 didn't do a whole lot for me, but this is the show I want to be watching.

Exactly. Kindred 1 and 2 were sort of . . . meh for me too, but this? THIS I will take and treasure, for sure.
