I didn't like it that much ....
I though McKay's whining about how he can't fix it and don't put all the pressure on the mad genius was annoing and not that funny.... and since when does Teyla know how to shut down a wraith complicated device? I mean it took McKay a while to figure out what it even does and she comes along in the end ..oh pull that and it shuts down. I know they were all suppose to be under it's influence but it seemed a little unrealistic to me dry.gif
I was so sorry for Beckett ....he was trying so hard to save that lt.'s life and because of the effects of the machine he didn't even notice the other guy died right next to him unsure.gif
Other than that, it's always nice to see a SGA episode biggrin.gif , but I think they could have done more ...


No, it wasn't unrealistic... McKay knew from the beginning what he had to do, and he explained it to Teyla. The fact is that, whenever he entered the core to do what he had to do, he started having visions, and didn't proceed as he intended. Teyla was not affected, so she could operate what McKay told her to operate with a clear mind.

Agreed. But this brought a new question to mind: Wouldn't McKay have hallucinated the effects of the machine/cave exploding? Apparently not, plus I don't think the machine was meant to go so far as to kill the Wraith's prey, but then wouldn't the last person alive realize something was amiss? Well, no, obviously not. I think I have to watch it again for those little inconsistencies.
