First Lieutenant Group: Members Posts: 691 Joined: March 2nd 2005 From: Latvia Member No.: 8,299 Gender: Female	The few plot holes ignored (yes, the code system was odd, two people should be needed to give the commands) this episode was really good. At first it seemed that we'll get lots of sentiment: Shep and Weir calling each other 'hopeless romantic', talks about the last farewell kiss... and then it all suddenly changed and the episode took an unpredictable turn. The acting was really good, I especially liked the nice interplay between Shep and Weir, the way Ronan and Teyla (!!!) acted out their loyalities, and why hasn't anyone mentioned the wonderful fights between col. Coldwell and McKay yet? This really is a 9/10 episode, another one in the row that made me like Atlantis more than I did before. And yes, I forgot to mention some other humour bits - the story of TV and the look on Weir's face at the very end
