So, let's try post-as-we-watch...it might get rambly, just skim if you like.

I liked the bit with Woolsey at the beginning - Sheppard almost forgetting to ask permission for the op, Woolsey taking a moment to respond when he does ask, and the doors closing on Woolsey as he attempts to exit the room [Big Grin]

Aw, man. "I had a Yorkie for many years...but my wife got him in the divorce. ...I loved that dog..." That was bleakly funny...

So just how many times can a Wraith eat/reverse eat you before he has to have a snack for real? And why didn't he kill the Satedan whose usefulness, as he put it, is at an end? There seems to be noooo reason why he didn't just eat him.

Did anybody catch what Sheppard said about Archimedes "something something Teyla something"?

Isn't cold turkey really dangerous? The good doctor says sedatives will make him more comfortable but slow down his recovery. I thought addicts in withdrawal were given small doses of similar drugs (or the same one) because cold turkey can kill you from system shock? Surely it's better to not risk his death and not find Ronan at all, than to get to Ronan quickly?

So the Wraith can *make* you a worshiper using a standard process, but when you withdraw from the enzyme you come to your senses? That makes worshipers a lot less like worshipers and more like slaves. And the Wraith seem to be a lot less resistant to a sword than bullets...

Nice! Wraith transporter emplacements used basically as ring transporters or Lantean transporter booths. Funny they didn't think of that before.

I miss the Queens. Just saying "kneee-ee-knee-kne-ee-kneeeeeel." and he kneels is a lot cooler than having a minion kick his legs out from under him.

There's another one of those night shots showing how much power they're wasting for no reason keeping the whole city lit up. Heh, and Woolsey still hasn't figured those doors out.

Anyone recognize what music Woolsey was listening to off the top of their heads?

One thing I'm finding is that Woolsey is adjusting to the crew way too quickly. he's supposed to be all by the book and what not but instead he seems to just give a speech and let things continue...
