I liked the exchange of McKay and the Major.

Atlantis is in Pegasus Galaxy, which is a minor one orbitting Andromeda. Asgard live in Ida (sp?)
I look forward to wha the Ori can do. As it reveals more about what the other Ascendants can do...

And makes me want to see SG-1 Tackle Lovecraftian Horrors in the next few seasons--or Fanfic, whichever comes first.
SG1 v/s Fanfic? Scary thought.... :wink:

Oh... SG1 v/s Lovecraftian Horrors.
Uh.. I think that'd break their little brains. Come on, folks, it's Sanity Checks all around.

Ford seems to be adapting to his changes. He's trying to be normal, but the changes to his brain chemistry are still evident.

I sort of like the way that Ford didn't turn into some "ARRARRARR!! I'VE TURNED BAD ASS EVIL!!!!1111!!!" guy.

Ford's going to help them find Shep, and the Runner's going to help them find Ford...

This won't end well.

On the other hand, I'm tired of the "badass warrior with attitude" cliche, also so far this "Runner" seems pointless, not interesting.

Frankly, to me, he verges on being a classic Marty Stu (Male version of a Mary Sue).

If he had killed Ford, that would have sealed it.

Hopefully, he'll get some shit for being a fuckin' barbarian. And he hopefully won't try and get in Tala's pants (as seems to be indicated from one point in the episode).

My favorite line: "I know how you are with guns, McKay. I don't want this going off accidently while you're pointing it at me." I half expected McKay to miss completely when he did shoot Ford.

I'm a little irritated with the ending. They danced around the issue of Christianity and pretended to pay it lip service but also gave it to much credit after what we've seen in the series.

To be fair, Ida was a decent place before the Replicators showed up.

The real question is this:

What happened to replicators in galaxies without Stargates?

No no, the ending was a head-to-head with an F-302, and I was not irritated.

The biggest problem Ford is facing is that the chemical imballance in his head is rocking his emotions. He can go from angry to happy in a moments notice. Its also affected his moral center. He can't tell right from wrong like he used to. His morals are tied in with his emotions. I have a feeling the moment he were to kill anyone from the Atlantis team (if he did it) his emotions would instantly shift and he might even try comitting suicide.

So, now the Orii and their servants will use ancient-knowledge to build ships and come for us, eh?

Seriously, though, I have a quasi-similar feeling as you do, though not as much. Frankly, I thought the comparisions were coming off a little heavy handed (The Grandma thing, though it did grow on me--until the last one).

Didn't the replicators in Ida survive? To the best of my knowledge, the device on Takara only dialed the milky-way gates (not enough power to dial Ida.) So, theoretically, the replicators are still going strong in Ida. Just with no replicarter guiding them. Unless the asgard copied the device and set it off.
I had a Bill Maher quote here. But fuck him for his white privelegy "joke".

All the rest? Too long.

Actualy the Replicators left Ida. As far as we know the Replicator Five brought them all to the milky way.

I like the new guy. I will call him "stereotype".

Scif writer: Ok, so we've got a new character. He's a badass warrior who lives by his own code of honor and serves no master. A consummate soldier. Let's name him "Ronan", after the Japanese badass warrior who lives by his own honor code and serves no master.

After being briefly interesting, Atlantis again returns to mediocracy. At least Ford is finally interesting.
