Oh, Carl Binder, how I heart thee.

He wrote this episode, and I think he was responsible for Keller's development in "Missing," also, so he gets props for that.

Ok, I pretty much liked nearly everything about this episode so I'll just list them here.

Heh, thanks. :) Reading over it I see where I can give more, but I think the final result is a pretty accurate gauge of the episode. :)

Ya know, I was a little disappointed in this episode. Can't really pinpoint why though. I do know I loved Keller's role in this one. The way she fended off the Wraith and dealt with Kyrik.

My heart stuttered a little at the end when Ronon said he had no intentions toward Jennifer and that he wasn't romantically interested. I started mentally cursing the writers immediately afterwards, only to be brought up short both times (with a sigh of relief) when Ronon said "wait..."

I very much liked Kyrik and would love to see him in future episodes.

And I agree with your scoring system. Jennifer definitely deserved all 18 of those points if not more.

I actually had heard a lot of buzz about this episode beforehand, so I wasn't sure if I was going to like the final result. Also, I've been pretty blah about the show lately, as I said before. So, this episode definitely exceeded my expectations, and I loved that the competition between Ronon and Rodney wasn't as heavy-handed as it could have been. That's the main reason I enjoyed it so much.

And I liked the little fakeouts in the end with Ronon not admitting he was interested at first. My heart fell a few times, too, in that moment.

As I rewatched the episode, I saw moments where more points could have been given, definitely. When I started this entry, I hadn't plan on including Jen in the point system, but hey, girls rule. ;)
