Tissue anyone?

I don't really have to say it, do I? Ah, well. Just in case someone missed it the twelve thousand times I said it before: I love my show!

Oh, team! Oh, boys!  You're determined to make me cry every single week, aren't you? Those last scenes with Rodney and Radek, and Rodney and John.... *sniffles* I just want to give them all hugs and feed them hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls.

Dear writers,
Can you please give them a break and give us an episode where they're all just hanging around and enjoying themselves? Preferably with some McShep subtext.  Also, real!Rodney needs some sleep. Let John take him to bed.
Thank you!

So, now we know what happened to Elizabeth. May I say that I hope she won't be resurrected again? Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Elizabeth (not that I particularly love her either, my feelings for her are pretty much just 'meh') but I do have issues with characters who come back from the dead again and again and again. *coughdanieljacksoncough* It takes away from the emotional impact of a character death when you've been taught to think that death isn't permanent. I feel this episode gave closure to the whole 'missing Weir' thing, and I for one am perfectly happy to let her rest in peace.

A couple of highlights:
-Ronon & his duplicate. You can just imagine what's going on inside their heads...
-Duplicate!Rodney sleeping in the jumper. Rodney should sleep more! He's so cute when he's asleep!
-Rodney & his duplicate. Oh my god, there's two of them! I don't know if I should be elated or afraid...

So..... that was Sam's vision, right? 

TEYLA YOU NEED TO TELL THE BOYS ABOUT YOUR BABY!

In other news. I've re-discovered my love of knitting, which comes in pretty handy now that Christmas is approaching and I'm so broke it's not even funny. I haven't knitted anything in ages, but now that stupid!cat is staying with my parents, I can actually have yarn lying around without finding it draped all over my living room. It's a good thing that my sisters are so old now that they might appreciate crafty homemade gifts. My brother, I'm not so sure about...

Weir

[(Anonymous)]

Here's what I hope: I hope that RepliKeller was lying when she said Weir is dead. I hope the real Weir shows up in Season 5 alive and saveable. Because to kill her offscreen like that totally sucks and is totally pointless and stupid, my idea of a recurring character is for the character to actually recur throughout the show's existance instead of recurring two or three times and then disappearing forever, and RepliKeller could have lied to keep the real Atlantis crew from trying to rescue the real Weir, since RepliKeller knew that RepliWeir and the others originally thought they were the real crew in the beginning and she might have figured on one of them alerting the real Atlantis at some point.

Hello there, anonymous person :-)
Well, I can certainly see how Weir-fans are dissatisfied with the episode. I'd probably be upset too if she were one of my favourites.

However, I don't want her to come back. Not because I particularly dislike the character, but because (and I say this as a writer) from a storytelling point of view, killing off characters and then bringing them back is very very lame. I would be disappointed if Carson came back to life too, for the very same reason, even though I love Carson and still miss him like crazy.

I suppose RepliKeller could have lied, but I think her explanation made sense. Weir would've been too much of a security risk to the Replicators. If I were them, I'd get as much intel as possible from Weir and then eliminate that risk.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I hope we can agree on that at least :-)
