Awesome opening credits. And the show wasn't half bad either.

The idea of human Wraith worshippers is rather disgusting. Of course the Wraith are rather disgusting as well. The Wraith never struck me as the type to have human slave, let alone want them to worship them.

What is it with Stargate and false gods anyway?

I knew the girl they rescued was also no good the same time as Shepard, maybe a little before, as soon as she asked him what his world was like I felt suspcious and then when she asked what the name of his world was I knew she was no good, though I though she might be a Wraith in disguise.

I liked Ford before he became half-Wraith, I want to see him back at Atlantis and on the show full time again, he was a good character. And get rid of this new Colonel!

I did notice a blooper as well. When Sheppard and the gang returned through the Stargate, Weir asked the technician who it was and the technician said he received She's IDC code just a moment before we hear the gate actually open. Since the wormhole wasn't yet established, it would have been impossible for him to have received a code at that time.

I liked this episode although I thought the begining was a little corny.

I loved, loved, loved the babbling Mckay was doing while he was trying to dial the gate and when he was talking to Dr. Beckett. That was so funny.

When they very first tried to rescue those people, for some reason I thought they were ancients. I didn't feel disgust when they turned out to be worshippers, but rather I felt sorry for them. For some reason I got the feeling that they were not very well educated and just didn't know better.

Ford, got to wonder if he will come back. Probably. I too wish he would come back to Atlantis.

I also thought the girl was an Ancient at first, I think because of her clothes. They looked Ancientish. ;)

I don't think the people were worshiping the wraith rather they were just submitting to be slaves. I think one would do almost anything to keep from being killed. I also think the wraith would kill them asap if they needed the food.
