Series Rewatch: The Eye

[popkin16]

 

We're back to our weekly rewatch! I hope everyone had an excellent holiday. This week's episode is the conclusion to our mid-season finale: The Eye! The Genii are in control of Atlantis, Elizabeth and Rodney are hostages, and John alone in the fight against the intruders, since Teyla, Ford, and Carson are trapped on the mainland. A pretty intense episode.

Feel free to leave your comments below, be they meta, fic, or just some random observations. As always, be kind to one another, and most of all: enjoy!

Like you, I saw the movie first. I'd seen this Rodney McKay character and was tickled to down to my toes that Rodney was going to be on SGA. I'd have watched it for that reason alone.

Ford is wound up and frustrated that it took so long to get back to Atlantis. It shows. And while I would wish he'd handled it better too, I appreciated the contrast between his command style and Sheppard's. (if you can call it a command style). They couldn't be more opposite.

I love that you were a Rodney fan even before SGA :) Most people hate Rodney on SG1.

It might be that if Ford had the benefit of time, he could have grown into someone more patient. Especially if John is the one teaching him how to command. Ford was so young, I feel like all his emotions were on the extreme end, still.
