I love when the Asgard look up and tells him to "stop talking please. Thank you." I almost peed my pants when they were just about to push the engage button to earth and McKay yells. "STOP". I got chills all over. Oh my when the gate started to dial itself without the ZPM I was oh my goodness. The NID are nasty asses. Sneaky. I loved seeing the SGC in the episodes. Not for a few seconds either but quite a bit there. I thought that Cadmin was the one who planeted the bomb but when I saw Cavaungh I thought imediately that it was that slimy ass kissing moron of a man. What is with Cadmin suddenly being an explosive expert? It was suspicious that Cavanagh kept coming and going from Atlantis. Begging to come back to Atlanis after he begged to leave after "The Siege" only to stay for 3 weeks before begging to leave again. The guy is an ass. What was in those encryptic messages he did send. He may not have planeted the failsafe code in the end but something is pretty fishy with him. He is a wimp for passing out also. Shivers I cannot stand him. Lots of good Big D shots. Love that they used them to relay the messages back and forth. Funny how the Big D left back for Atlantis without permission. This was a very good Teyla episode. Why so many hate her I do not understand. The Ring ceramony, it was beautiful. Teyla singing. WOW. Galic in nature. It was awesome. Great to get a Telya story. No bomb? Just screwing with the power flow regulators? The goa'uld rewrote the program surrrounding the ZPM securing it with a failsafe code. I was like what about the captain of the Big D. Caldwell. How come no one suspected him. As I said I got suspicious when the Big D turned to come back to Atlantis leaving the SGC in the lurch. When they beamed him out I knew it. When his eyes glowed I was like HOLEY sht! Smart move with the tazer gun as that has been well established in Stargate SG-1. I loved the interplay bewteen the ceramony and hightening tension of a impending wraith attack. Zelinka How funny was he in all those little pigtails. How pissed at McKay was he! Nice that McKay did not save the day but rather a junior character. This post has been edited by Auntie Em!*: Dec 5th 2005, 10:05 PM
