xparrotOn "Kindred Pt.1":
I have a lot of problems with Mallozzi's writing (I feel sorry for the guy; from his blog, he genuinely loves the show, he just...doesn't have much talent for screenwriting. Sorry, honey. I mean, man - Keller actually says "As you know..." That's Screenwriting 101: How Not To Start Your Exposition! And he writes the chars so shallow and I'm not going to go into my problems with his Rodney characterization because there I just get picky and sensitive.) But the ep did have interesting stuff, and man I'm curious how next week's is gonna go. Don't spoil me, please, I already know more than I wish I did.

gnine makes spoiler-avoiding a logistic impossibility...it's hard to miss the squeeing when it's happening one room over!)
On the cliche of Teyla having a 'magic baby' - I don't think Michael's messed with Teyla's baby yet, but it looks like the kid might be potentially special due to its DNA - born of two Wraith-sensers, and Teyla at least is a pretty powerful one. "Spoilers of War" implied the baby's got strong Wraith-genes...I was guessing then that Kanan also had the gift, so I was glad to hear that supposition confirmed. It doesn't bother me as much as it might because at least the baby came by his genetics naturally.
Oh, Lorne. He looked so understandably nervous, coming back through the gate Teyla-less.
Michael!!! Is such a deranged supervillain. I luffs him muchly for it. And Todd now officially makes me squee just by appearing (Todd and Michael totally should ally and take over the galaxy! Todd/Michael in 2008!)
You gotta love John with his Sheppardian priorities, upon hearing that Teyla's on Michael's ship, his panicked, 'Oh nono, you can't shoot 'em down!' and Caldwell (yays Caldwell!) sighs and complies, because of course Sheppard thinks nothing of endangering the entire Daedalus crew when the life of his teammate (two teammates, really, considering Teyla's fetus!) is at stake.
And I was already spoiled for the end, but, yeah. Next ep NOW plzkthx.
And, at random, viathefourthvine here via seperis so you've likely seen it already, even if you missed MTV back in the '80s, but if you haven't, the original video for Total Eclipse of the Heart is...well. There's crack, and then there's crack, and THEN there's dancing ninjas. Not to mention the football players?
