Rewatch: The Defiant One

[twinsarein.livejournal.com]

Dr. Brendan Gall, one of the scientists on Atlantis, discovers a Lagrangian point satellite and Sheppard, McKay, Gall and another scientist, Dr. Abrams are sent to investigate. It was used by the Ancients as a last line of defense before Atlantis during the war with the Wraith 10.000 years ago, but it seems to be out of commission. Not long after the team picks up a distress call from a planet nearby. It's coming from a Wraith ship that crashed during the war and the team takes a look. McKay is absolutely convinced no living thing could survive that long, but the team discovers signs of Wraith cannibalism and a storage compartment for humans. McKay begins to doubt his assumption.  Summary from IMDb

Yay, Elizabeth, for a very wise precautionary decision. You da boss!

Oh, great, boys. You're asking the questions that will get you into trouble. It's like a jinx. So just don't ask questions and you won't get into trouble. Hey, I think it's a terrific philosophy.

And the Wraith doesn't disappoint as it just ... uh ... drops in. Real friendly like. What a welcome committee.

Oh, the look Rodney gives John: We're screwed.

Rodney: "I've already got a gun."
John: "Now you have two."

And, once again, we see Ford being in charge and acting responsibly.

Oh, boy. Brendan is paralyzed and our boys are arguing. Then John takes off.

Ugh, more creepy cocoon goop.

And sad/weird stuff (old resentments) between Brendan and Rodney.

Um ... why did they have to leave the welcome mat out (hatch open)? Uh-oh. Mr. Wraith is really upset, 'cuz nothing works for him. He should take an anger management course 'cuz all that yelling's probably not good for his blood pressure. Kidding, just kidding.
