okay... so I just finished watching Stargate Atlantis S05E04- "The Deadalus Variations"... and yeah, it was okay. Admittidly it may be the fact that I'm just so looking forward to next weeks episode of SGA (okay, has anyone *seen* the preview? I'm going to cry, I just know it!) but this week just didn't do it for me. Kind of like last week.
The episode itself was a good concept, but slow. There wasn't any real character interaction, very little in the way of character development (Teyla getting a bit more into the schematics is pretty cool) and it
s even a little... silly when it shouldn't be.
Why would four people die all together, in a single corner, looking generally as though nothing in the world had actually happened to them? I mean, McKay at least should have shown some very obvious signs of having gone through hunger stress. Hypoglacemia anyone? But no... they looked like they all just gave up on day, which obviously wouldn't happen.
And the bad guys... anyone else think they looked like the writers had decided to just throw in a Borg out of lack of imagination? I mean, without the cool tech though? *shrug*
The end was cute, I liked Shep's and Sheppard's interaction, as well as the continued interest in an obviously failed project that Rodney has.
One other sidenote: Rodney & baby... wow, uncomfortable much? lol. Funny, but very stressed.
Oh, and that bit about Ronon just mashing on the control keyboard. ...I did that once on my computer, but I was high on some medication and not thinking clearly. lol. Then again, Ronon has been through a lot lately.
...I wonder if Rodney ever actually brought up his drug thing from a few seasons ago to the others, or if it just ended up an unspoken thing in the reports- which Ronon would have never read.
...There's a plot possibility in that.
Anyway, peace out.
