01-12: The Defiant One

[Colonel Carter]

Oh this had Star Trek written all over it. Two expendables going on the mission who don't make it through - so classic Star Trek. The guy who had the life sucked out of him and survived, he didn't just looked old, he looked scaly or like his skin was bubbly. He looked weird, not like the Colonel in the premiere episode when he got old.

Another weird things was the blood on his chest. I don't remember the Colonel having that in the premiere, or did he?

I am definitely liking Rodney more, although his questions like, "What do I do now?!" got annoying. I'm glad Sheppard finally got the Wraith taken out, but he killed all those helpful innocent little fireflies, poor guys!

It was a pretty good episode overall.

I think the blood may have something to do with him being different. Remember, Sheppard said he was different somehow.

I spent most of the episode trying to figure out why the alien fireflies from "The Prodigy", who tried to kill everyone, were just bugs here... I know they recycle scenes, but recycled aliens???

Who did Sheppard say was different?

LOL! I was thinking the exact same thing.


Who did Sheppard say was different?

He was talking about the wraith that made it to the shuttle. Him and McCay were talking about them healing themselves and Sheppard said, no it's more than that, there is something different about this one. I think it may have been that he wasn't only feeding off humans, but on other wraith as well. Wished they would have explored that more.

Does anyone know why Lt. Ford was in his old uniform at the begining of the show, but changed into his Marine Corps uniform for the rescue?

[Colonel Carter]

I never noticed what he was wearing. I would assume the air force guys still dress in military uniforms when going into a possible combat situation.

[Anissa T]

Sure, but they've been on other combat missions and didn't notice him wearing a different uniform.
