This was a pretty good episode. Better than SG-1 tonight by far. Great humor moments, especially "Meredith." ZPM depletion was pretty interesting, but:

I did enjoy the episode, though ?Rod? creeped me out. I kept expecting him to be working for the Wraith or Ori or something equally evil. Is it strange that I think overly nice = evil? Also not entirely sure that depleting the ZPM wasn?t what Rod had in mind all along. But that might be the overly nice thing coming into play again.

As for the science of the episode, what about the cascading effect? If people from an alternate universe can?t inhabit the same dimension where their counterpart in this dimension is alive, then wouldn?t Rod be feeling that, since Rodney is clearly still alive?

Not entirely sure I buy the whole Sheppard as Mensa?too weird.

I really liked Rodney?s (Meredith, lol, too damn funny!:rotflmao: ) interaction with his sister. It added a dimension to him that?s been shown before, such as the bumbling-but-brilliant-once-I make-a-mistake-I ignore-it. And then 4 years pass and my niece is having her first ballet recital. It was a touching reunion.

I couldn?t hear the very end, what did Sheppard say about Teyla having the hots for someone? Or did I miss understand completely?

I assumed that the cascade effect was going to be the reason that Rod couldn't stay.

Our Sheppard passed the MENSA exam, he just never joined up.

Sheppard said that Teyla had a crush one of the new marines.

Did he? I must've missed that part. But if it was in S1, I watched but didn't pay too much attention, so it probably skipped by me.

Ah. Gotcha. Thanks.
