3.5. Teal'c vs Ronon is the stuff of fandom legend.

4.5 stars

I thought, 'oh, no, not another SG-1 reject', but it was better than I
expected, plus it had a lot of action.

5! :-)

T'ealc appearance 3.5.
Ronon's attitude problems with him 1.
..5 for best line of the episode:

T'ealc: I would very much like to have a weapon like that!!
Ronon: Get in line!!

:-)

I'm already on record as giving it a

4

despite that it doesn't hold up to scrutiny at all. At least it was fun.

The idea may not be new, but I really loved the Tealc/Ronon interaction;
THAT part was worth 5 stars, but I have to deduct for the general
stupidity otherwise. It was great fun, though.

4.0

There is this thing called Wikipedia. If you don't like that, there's
this thing called Google.

Frank Jack Fletcher was the senior US Navy officer present at the
Battle Of Midway. Admiral Fletcher commanded Task Force 17
(Yorktown). Additionally, Raymond Spruance is given a lot of credit
for the outcome. Admiral Spruance commanded Task Force 16 (Enterprise
and Hornet) at Midway because Admiral Halsey, the normal TF-16
commander, was ill and in the hospital.

Nagumo Chuichi was the commander of Kido Butai (the Japanese Carrier
Strike Force) at Pearl Harbor and at Midway.

Fletcher and Spruance kicked Nagumo's butt at Midway - losing
Yorktown, but sinking all four Japanese carriers (Akagi, Kaga, Soryu
and Hiryu) present at the battle.

You're not leaving us much room here. Basically, everyone at Midway
performed either fantastically or horribly.

I'm going to give it a 4.25 (C. Wade McClusky), mostly deducting for
being predictable. It was still fun.

I give it 5 Stars. It was a really great episode. I enjoyed watching
Teal'c and Ronon learning to work together. They were one bad-*** team.

I still think it was rather predictable. When they did the episode Sateda I
liked it because Ronan was one his own, BUT at the end it was the Doc that
saved him and that was quite a good plot twist rather than the obvious Ronan
beating the crap out of baddie wraith.

Midway was just to obvious a storyline, there was NO decent plot twist to
take it away from the usual alpha males fighting each other crap. Are we
really supposed to believe that the Atlantis workfoce would have simply
stood around betting on a violent fight? That Sheppard wouldn't have stopped
it? Why didn't Carter give him a bollocking for that?

A good ending for Midway would have been to have the two "tough guys" pinned
down by the Wraith and about to do their final Butch and Sundance last
stand, only to have Walter save the day.

3.5 maybe and that's being a bit generous. There were a lot of really
stupid things going on in this episode and in the end, it was just an
excuse to get rid of the Midway Station so that Atlantis is cut off once
again and cannot be easily rescued by Earth.

It was nice to see Teal'c again though, even though his first encounter
with Ronan had Ronan badly, badly written.

That was the most believable part of the episode. Why the hell would
Sheppard stop it?

Because he is an Officer and one of the people fighting is a team member of

He'd have stopped it if it was clear someone would get hurt. The
services have boxing teams for God's sakes.

So what? He has sparring matches resulting in injuries with Ronon
himself routinely.

They were not boxing, there was no referee and someone could have gotten
badly injured. It was a **** part of the plot and unrealistic.

There are also competitions in other martial arts - including fighting
with sticks (as they were doing).

Sheppard would have stopped it before that.

Yep. And it could happen in any other martial arts contest (as
happens in real life - boxers have died in the highly regulated ring).

And I say it was not.

Nobody said it was boxing. There's no referee in sparring. Somebody
could get badly injured anytime they spar with Ronon -- and they do. It
was the most believable part of the episode.

I think the fanboys have been wondering who would win in a fight between the
two, probably since Ronon joined the team. Everyone got what they wanted,
imo. A nice fight ~ fanboys. No clear winner ~ producers/actors. It even
had something for the ladies.

Yes to both. Again, they're writing Carter as Weir.

Actually, the opposite extreme 8-) But Sheppard and Ronan don't seem to
pull punches when they train.

I can't disagree. I'm almost glad that Tapping is moving on to
something else, the internal mental disconnect of seeing Carter and
hearing Weir is becoming tiresome. I wonder if they'll write Woolsey as
Weir as well?

Okay, it seems to be a combo Air Force - Marine mission, but that kind
of "nearly beating the **** out of each other" is a Navy tradition.
And yes, there is usually an officer (sometimes the XO) standing by to
stop it when it gets to that point. A split lip and a bloddy nose
didn't look like anybody was really getting beat badly. Those two are
what I'd call Master Fighters.

I never have. I wasn't all that crazy about Picardo, either, though.
Maybe I subconsciously dislike the actor?

Who? A character in something I didn't watch, I take it.

I said I didn't have an eidetic memory some time ago. . . . 8-g

No, I don't watch movies over and over and it's a long time since I saw
that movie.

I agree. And it will be a welcome dynamic to have a member of the
expedition who the others either don't like or don't trust.

With this latest ep, SGA in my view has officially become a jumbled mess.

Find it difficult to finish watching an ep now; a fly buzzing on the window is
far more intriguing. A wafting mote of dust? Fascinating in contrast. Sound of
a distant car forlornly honking presents more imaginative potential than the
overworked, grindingly contrived and sadly pedestrian efforts of the SGA
writing team.

Got rid of Weir, mistake. Got blondie soccer mom on: mistake. Merged with the
old stargate: mistake. Lost that old special SGA aura of mystery, camaraderie
and just plain fun: mistake.

On top of that an ep or two ago we got a character from the old sg sporting
such a ridiculous accent, the ep cheapened by half in an instant. (No big, but
in light of everything else yes, big) And he can't act (don't even remember
the name). The old rowdy 'who cares if they can't act' spirit's gone so he
stood out like a sore thumb. All face and no cheek.

It's mistake after blunder after gaffe.

Sure they've got lots of fans - I was one of them - and torrents blaze when an
ep comes out (as an indicator), but for how long? Even die-hards eventually
yawn; numbers will go down enough to matter at this rate of ineptitude.

New shows will emerge and SGA's momentum will flag. It's a shame. Nex

Yep, well said, and this was one of my favorite shows. Oh
well... I'll still watch though. I love Rodney and Sheppard
still.

Since Hollywood loves making remakes I'd love to see a Midway done in CGI.

For some reason when ever Midway with Charlton Hesston is on I can never
turn it off.

Didn't that old show Black sheep Squadron do an episode with bare knuckle
fighting? I mean all those show were true weren't they?
