SGA "The Seer" Thoughts

[kristen999]

I like staying unspoiled for eppys, makes the viewing more enjoyable.



This was definitely a set up episode for the themes and plot lines throughout the mid and final parts of the season. Nice twist, the Replicators targeting the food supply...humans. Once again decisions that the team made (Rodney and Shep) coming back to really bite them. Liked how those two dicussed blame, both taking a share of it.

I loved that they deferred to Shep a LOT as the Wraith expert in general and as well as with the CG Wraith. Carter and John worked well together and I liked how we saw Sheppard's maturity, telling Woosley that it wasn't his choice, deffering to Carter.

Also just because they had a truce once, John was willing to destroy the Hive or Kill the Wraith on more than one occasion. Sheppard had a hard edge the entire time, still very distrusting and I liked that the writers didn't have him just sticking up for the Wraith because of what happened to him.

So, the CG Wraith is going to live with them now? Now that's interesting.

Lots of twists in this one. Wasn't expecting much and came back thinking this a was decent bridge episode thats needs to be re-watched.

Once again warming up to Sam. Not a huge fan but I've kept an open mind about her. The Seer himself, didn't really see a big need for his plot line, but it did provide some nice exposition about what controls the future. Over all thought it was pretty good.

I think the whole Seer plot was designed to tell both the audience and Teyla that the Athosians were still alive someplace. Other than that, well, I guess other than a good kick in the pants for McKay, no there wasn't a huge need for him.

And I agree, I liked that Sheppard was true to his word, once both he and Todd got away from Koyla, all bets were off. There was no need for Sheppard to suddenly take up the wraith's cause. I also loved that both now have another common enemy. Never trust DOS. He's always played the eeeevil characters and Oberoth is just plain evil.
