Common Ground (SGA)

i loved the episode!! i can't believe it since McKay and Beckett only appear a few times but it's true...

first, i love the new suits! they should have got black suits from the start! it makes all the characters seem more serious and better looking! i really enjoy watching Paul's eyes when he's wearing dark clothes... and Rodney is sooo cute in black too!! anyway, i stop now with the excitement over that.

what i really enjoyed was the first dialogues between Sheppard and his fellow prisoner, just before we know who the guy really is. it's the kind of episodes that make one love the Wraith (except for female Wraith, of course, who never stop frightening me!). the other scene i particularly enjoyed was the warehouse scene when Rodney fires at a mouse. hilarious! every episode makes me a greater fan of Hewlett (even though Nothing did a better job at that than any SGA episode). Rodney with a gun is always fantastic! this is not true of Carson who looks definitely pathetic (sorry, i love Carson but he's nothing compared to Rodrod!)

as far as visual effects are concerned, i really like the way FX guys made Sheppard look older. i wonder if they used the same techniques as were used in the XFiles (you know, the episode where they're trapped in a ship and the water is poisoned and they get older every minute... in French the title was 'Vaisseau Fantome'... i'll try to find the English title when i get a moment)... strangely, i think Sheppard is cuter with grey hair (Flo la gérontophile a encore frappé!).

the end was obvious from the beginning but the episode had to end somehow, right? better that kind of ending than another... now we'll have to wait 2 weeks before another episode is broadcast and some episode it'll be!
