The Fly meets Alien!
fig-752754 April 2021
This episode is great because it combines elements of the Fly (remember Jeff Goldblum's character initially getting stronger because of fly DNA) and Alien (facehugger type creatures emerging from eggs).

The make up team did a good job here too. Colonel Sheppard looks great as he goes through his transformation, and I thought Joe Flanigan did a great job portraying how Sheppard's mind and personality was changing too.

Another element I liked is that it's apparent again in this episode that Ronan is the only one with a sensible hi-tech gun. His "blaster" seems to have stun and kill settings that actually work. The other new guns in Atlantis, the Wraith stunner guns, are reminding me more and more of the Goa'uld staff weapons, in that they are mostly rubbish and they wouldn't be anyone's first choice.

Warning: Spoilers
Seriously. You have a ship with beaming tech but you send people into a cave full of deadly bugs to get some eggs? Stupid.

That fails (no surprise). Eventually you send the guy turning into a bug. Fine. He's only going to be in control of his faculties for an hour, and it's a few miles walk to the cave. You have ships that can go through the gate, but you go on foot. Stupid. Twice.

Bad writing, decent performances.
