Much, much better! A lot of (claustrophobic) fun.


Taking the time to introduce Griffin before killing him off was a great idea. Tomatos! The Barcelona McKays! Hee.

Great acting from everyone. How Rodney and Sam played against each other was wonderful, and there was half an episode of it! Wheee!

Basically the whole episode is a character study, and a very well done one. Still liking Rodney more and more. Petty, arrogant, and bad with people, but he's brave, too.

A few too many scientists standing around, but whatever. Loved John's determination and Elizabeth's support.

Also, whale! I bet it was fluid dynamics whale :)

Apparently I have less to say about episodes I liked. Or maybe that's just because it's way past my bedtime and I should be asleep. I'm too tired right now to do a character study.

No Ronon and Teyla, sadly, but they wouldn't have fit in here.

I listened to the audio commentary, too. I was excited because it had David Hewlett and Amanda Tapping, but they hardly got to say anything because the other two (Martin Wood and Martin Gero, I think?) talked so much. Interesting, but the actors were funnier.
And I really want to see that Sam-talking-to-the-whale scene they apparently cut... Maybe on youtube or somewhere.

I don't know - Jeannie? Hm, that wouldn't have worked with me. Sam was perfect.

Have you read The Killing Frost (http://www.sholiofic.com/sga/frost.shtml) by [livejournal.com profile] friendshipper?

But yes, Sam was the perfect choice.

Is that the one in which the Deadalus crashes on an ice planet? Then yes, I've read it. Why?

Yes, that one! Rodney hallucinates Jeannie in it and it's wonderful, that's what made me think of her :)
