SGA 307 - John Sheppard's Enemy Mine, aka, Common Ground

[retro_eidas]

I hope we get to know more about them too.... but I suppose it's to be expected. We got the bigger bad asses in the Asurans, it was a matter of time before we got a different look at the Wraith / a change in direction for the former Big Bad Asses (Michael hardly counts since the Lantians essentially forced him to cooperate and brainwashed him... although he didn't kill Beckett when he easily could have, that's something I suppose).

Sheppard, emotionally resonant storyline, another interesting Wraith (outside of Michael) *and* actiony? This ep kicked so much ass!

Ronon is like a red leather wearing gorilla, but.. a hot gorilla. Kicking that door down? GUH! Even if he looked like he was going to bite someone's throat out 70% of this ep. With Ladon several times and even once with Elizabeth (when she let Ladon go). His "No promises" (regarding blasting a big hole in Kolya's chest with his hand canon?) Hot!

Rodney pretending to be Shep... and the thumbs up? HEEE!!

Was I the only one chanting "SAY HIS NAME!" When Canadian Tech Who We Always See But Yet Elusively Remains Nameless stepped up to Weir? I think it's almost like... a running joke poor guy has no name. Although I wonder the second he gets a name the writers will throw him off Atlantis' balcony or something?

"We reserve it to our most devout followers.... and brothers" Shep has a Wraith brother! awwww (and creepy). Can't wait for the slash after *this* one.

"He looks younger than he did before!" heee

Although I thought this was supposed to the one we got Sheppard backstory... got cut out again did it?

The whole team is either like one big sweet family so acutely concerned about each other's safety.... or they're all having orgies between episodes. I know what I prefer to believe!! *g*

Next ep's preview: Black leather? Ace Rodney? [ OMG!! Rodney's sister! ON ATLANTIS! EEEEeeee!! ... And Shep will probably hit on her. ]

*sighs* That is really unfortunate. I am glad Weir is getting more screentime / developing the multidimensional character I knew was lurking in there... but Teyla has been there from the beginning as well... yet Ronon there since S2 got a huge action-fest in "Sateda" (not that I'm complaining about that ep at all because it was excellent). The only other character to *not* get a whole ep? Ford. We all know what happened to him. Granted, they really weren't doing the big central character stories as much back then (that started more in S2 imo), but they almost seem to purposefully ignoring Teyla somehow. It just gives me a bad feeling.
