Rewatch: Search and Rescue

Dec 14, 2012 22:18

Combat engineers from Atlantis work against the clock to rescue four of their colleagues who are now trapped in the rubble of Michael's medical compound. With Michael en route, they quickly locate McKay and Major Lorne but Sheppard and Ronan are far deeper and their rescue is not assured. When Michael's ship arrives, they decide to try and rescue ( Read more... )

Soooo, this was a once-only rewatch. There were too many plot holes and ridiculous aspects that I didn't want to have to endure a second time. Mind you, there were things I liked as well.

Let's begin, shall we. Um ... was there a point to the pullback from the planet to give us a pretty astronomical view? Unless it was to blow the CGI budget? Who knows?

Then let's cut to a romantic (what???) dinner between John and Teyla. It feels really creepy and I'm so not keen on Teyla's dialogue on how she never thanked John properly for rescuing her. Knowing how TPTB think of women (usually recklessly and with much insensitivity), I don't appreciate that dialogue at all. Also, let's not forget that Teyla already has a partner (and baby on the way). But I guess TPTB decided to throw out this pathetic crumb for the Jeyla shippers. [I still remember all during S4-5 where these shippers kept pestering JM on his blog as to whether John and Teyla would finally get together, despite her current romantic and sexual/reproductive entanglement ( ... )

At least Atlantis now knows there are people trapped on the planet, so it's time to hustle together a team to rescue the original rescue teams. There seem to be whole lot more women involved in the rescue efforts. [That's probably because so many male extras were killed during Midway, right ( ... )

Rodney and Lorne are finally extracted. Well, actually, Rodney's computer is the first out! I know that Rodney can be brave and heroic, but putting words in his mouth that he doesn't need any medical attention sounds weird. Remember, this is the man who went to the Infirmary for a paper cut. I call this a waste of dialogue and OOC.

Ugh. Back on the Wraith cruiser, Michael thinks he's going to get some human prezzies, based on the life signs back on the planet.

Woo-hoo. That's some shooting from Captain Alicia Vega, to bring down a Dart. Obscure trivia: her character is played by the actress who was Dr. Esposito in Tao of Rodney. Rodney read her mind and thought she was interested in him; but, alas, she had the hots for Ronon who was standing behind Rodney ( ... )

Aboard the cloaked 'jumper, Rodney's being a brave little toaster, saying that he and Ronon can take care of the rescue mission by themselves and that John should stay behind. John SO does not agree ( ... )

The dream was a weird way to start the season, but I guess the writers wanted to give us a false sense of everything being okay. What was so weird about it, is that they put paid to the idea of a romantic relationship between Teyla and John ages ago, but they were obviously in a very intimate setting ( ... )
