So Teyla's back, her son is born, Michael ''apparently'' stopped, but as we know from experience if someone doesn't die on screen it didn't really happen. And even sometimes then. | So Teyla's back, her son is born, Michael ''apparently'' stopped, but as we know from experience if someone doesn't die on screen it didn't really happen.

502: '''The Seed''' ''[[2008]] [[July 18]]'' | |||
(First watched 2008-07-18) Frankly, my full attention wasn't on the episode, since there was (good-intentioned) frequent interruption from someone nearby. So a lot of moments I'm sure I missed altogether. | |||
Carson... looked different. I know that's the reality of actors not being statues, but considering he was just supposed to have come out of stasis it seemed especially off. I'm not sure if it was just the different hairstyle causing things to seem off, or if his face really was puffy. | |||
I wish I'd gotten to pay more attention to Woolsey's scenes, but what was there was interesting. Due to extraordinary circumstances he was forced to bend the rules, but at the end of the day rather than being glad that rule-breaking allowed everything to turn out alright, it's put him in a kind of crisis of faith. We've seen characters married to their beliefs or worried about meeting their personal standards before, but it's something different and both sad and funny to see Woolsey's being about whether he can really make it in a place where following the rules isn't always the correct solution. | |||
Considering his predecessors were so well-liked, I'm surprised there wasn't more apparent backlash to Woolsey's presence in place of someone better-suited to the position. | |||
The concept of a plant taking over the base while a new commander is trying to settle in reminded me of [[Stargate SG-1 Season 8|SG-1's Zero Hour]]. | |||
