I thought it was because TPTB decided that this episode was important (!) and intense (!!) enough to warrant cutting the credits in favor of more action (!!!).
Wasn't it exciting enough to have Keller performing yet another highly specialized surgery? Because I know that had me on the edge of *my* seat. Could she pull it off? Would it work? WHO KNEW?? Oh the drama! :D
Or John, Rodney, and Ronon, standing around being tense! Whoa, were those some tense boys! And the suspense-what if one of them got a tension headache?!? Did Rodney remember to bring the Excedrin? TO BE CONTINUED...
The only plus of this episode: Todd was made of awesome, and got all the best lines, as he always does. I get the impression he drops by Atlantis when he's bored and wants entertainment.
Oh, they blew this one. Teyla with her fighting strengths should have been able to kick ass without needing Todd to save her. At least she didn't sprain her ankle, that would have been the final humiliation. Grrr.
It's all about your subject line. Today, after the episode, I began thinking about writing a fic in which Todd and John are both old drag-queens, like, they'd sing in the equivalent of the Birdcage, right? So John would specialize in his Dolly Parton act, while Todd is totally Madonna, and they'd bicker like two bitter rivals but always stick together in the end, and there's this guy that's always watching John, and the "straight" bouncer that keeps sending Todd this threatening glares, and suddenly 'Marilyn Monroe' is upstaging them both, and John is about to rip her a new one, when he finds out that's actually that guy, that awkward, intensely dorky guy that keeps watching his performances even though it's obvious he hates country in any form, and John is kinda head over heels.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Todd giving Teyla Wraith Queen lessons a la My Fair Lady. I am TOTALLY writing a fic about that if I can come up with the Wraith equivalent for "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain."
HA! DO IT. That almost makes this shitty, shitty ep worthwhile.
*waits patiently*
PS I want to know how the Wraith distinguish each other when no one seems to have any names?? At one point Teyla was like, "This one" (referring to Todd).
PPS I totally thought Bald Wraith looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Er, random lurker here, but my mum and I were trying to figure that out, and eventually came to the conclusion that it had to have something to do with the tattoos.
