I liked it, but I would have liked it more if I hadn't figured it all out ten minutes into the ep :/

well, yeah, there was that too.... I suppose my lack of expectations for the show this season help me not be too vastly disappointed, well, as long as the great fanfic writers fix the mess ;)

Am I begging too much for fanfic from this episode?? ;)

I like the fact that they're not only stealing from themselves, they're also ripping off the fanfic we put out two years ago. Go SGA! ;)

Also, I have amputation issues, which I just figured out tonight. Thanks so much, Mallozzi.

Oh yeah, I sit there and go "the fanfic was so much better" ;)

My friends laughed at me when I saw that Mallozzi was one of the writer and said, "Oh, good - lots of plot holes to write tags to." =^.^=

If he wrote half as good as he thinks he does.... Ow. I think I dislocated an eyeball with that eye roll.

Ah, that explains that POP! boing-boing noise I heard, your eyeball dislocating and rolling off ;) already round a gem of a tag to "Remnants."

No fair with the fakeout on the whumping. Don't they realize we only have 5 potential whumping episodes left before our supply is cut off? Priorities, people!

Alas, the writers are too busy with non-whump stuff :(

Oye, I had the fun of sitting there trying to explain back story to people while watching this(what I wouldn't give for some peace and freaking quiet!).

I wasn't overly impressed with the ep and in reality was just bleh.

I can't wait for next weeks with my awesome favorite guy on the planet in it!

It could have been better, but for a JM-penned episode, it was decent. Yeah, I have lowered my expectaitons whenever I see his name on a script.

Favorite guy? Bill Nye?

Favorite guy- yes, Bill Nye.

I actually used to know him quiet well when he was in the Seattle Area. He used to be on a little local show called "Almost Live" back in the '80's and '90s that was very kitschy local humor(you'd have to be from the area to get it type stuff).

He also used to do a lot of local 'shows' at Elementary schools, and such, so I met him several times at those type of events. Very very cool man.

After seeing David's recent Twitter(from yesterday) I can only almost hope that he convinces him to drop by the con *cue evil laughter*.

Yeah, the whump just fell flat. You know me, research! I'm sitting there going...that bandage is WAAAAY to clean. Where's the blood???

Speaking of blood...I think you owe me story. ;-)

*whistles innocently*

It is driving me NUTS where have we seen that Australian chick before????

I have to say, the longer I see "Dick" the more I like him. :-) Xiox (Or how ever the closed captioning spelled her name) is evil, but we knew that. She's IOA. It is me or is the IOA getting stupider??? Or is it more stupid?

I think I'm one of the few in the fandom going...ohhh!!! McKay/Keller ep!!! Yay! I am, really. I think they are adorable.

and BILL NYE!!!! WHOO!

Me too! I'm going to forget last night's mess and just look forward to next week. Not to mention McKay in a tux. :swoon:

and BILL NYE!!!! WHOO!

And Neil DeGrase Tyson! Woohoo!

I think next week's ep may be Sheppardless (but I hope not!) but on hte McKeller stuff. If it's in the background, no problem. I'm just not a big fan of any ship being the focus of an episode. Like Jason Momoa said at the recent con, that kind of stuff is boring ;)

Ah, crud, I accidentally erased my Friday the 13th with David Hewlett. *bangs head on keyboard*
