WOW. I thought this was a very powerful episode. David Hewlett's performance was off the charts. Personal I think he should get an Emmy for it.

I liked it ... but at first I hated it. If they started out by saying that the parasite was affecting neurological functions, including memory, speech, motor skills, I would have been fine from the start, but instead they started by simply having Rodney himself say "I'm getting stupid". Being stupid doesn't mean you "talk slow" and move your hands in a fumbling manner! But then I heard the real story and it all made sense...

So yes, in the end I quite liked it.

It was, however, quite shocking to find out how much Ronon likes Rodney - I didn't expect that.

I did expect to see some affirmation of the heretofore hidden feelings between Rodney and Jennifer, so I'm glad she now knows. Now the question is does Rodney remember what he said to the camera .... or will Jennifer remind him ... or will they both just pretend it never happened?

Yeah, it was a good episode. I just hate that they decided to call it quits after this season. All through the show I was thinking "Dang, they're cancelling my favorite show!"

It very much was an Emmy class performance. My wife, who just tolerates my addiction to SciFi, commented in the middle of the show "He's a really good actor!"

It would make you think that he's experienced those behaviors in real life - like maybe he has a family member with a mental handicap. Those mannerisms were *spot on* to people I've seen in the past.

I agree David Hewlett's performance was amazing and the Emmy's need to give proper respect to these scifi shows. It was easily the single greatest acting performance of the SG franchise.

Tolerance has become respect. Ronon was a military leader and probably feels the need to preserve a important team asset. Ronon sees his team role as that of protector/enforcer.

Maybe this will be a slowly developing plot angle right up to the final episode. Every story needs a love interest.

by love interest did you mean Rodney and Ronan or Rodney and Jennifer?

OH! Lets not go there.:nono:

David Hewlett's character is one of my favorites in the SG mythos. DH is a great actor and should be recognized as such.

Rodney and Jennifer but, don't let that stop you from letting your imagination run away with you. :lol:

These days TV gets so confusing.

I am ashamed of how hard I laughed when I read your question. :blush:

This is Stargate Atlantis not Torchwood!:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Chris Blount]

Good episode. I also thought the multi-dimensional episode a few weeks back was excellent as well.

OMG.....let's keep it.......:lol: :hurah:

Okay, phrelin, you owe me $150 for a new monitor... I spewed Fruity Pebbles all over my, now ruined, old monitor when I read that...

Also very accurate in a lot of ways to people with Alzheimers -- espcially the part where he woke up in the middle of the night in a panic and was banging on John's door.
