Ah! The old criminals being fed to the aliens plot. Maybe it did have an original spin on it. According to Gateworld the original working story was something to do with clones not criminals, now that would have been even more tired!
Another Puddle Jumper lost. This is now worse than 'Star Trek Voyagers' shuttles - that's four already this Season alone. Maybe Atlantis was actually an Ancient Puddle Jumper factory?
And now they seem to have picked up this guy Eldon. Are they going to pick up waifs and strays every week? Or is it just the weird ones?
And it was good to see that time spent by Teyla and Ronin with the sticks was time well spent. It's a pity they were outnumbered in the end. And did you see Shephard try to snap his branch on his leg like Ronin did?
There were some other great quotes and quips this week though. I actually laughed out loud at "Your not a very good liar, McKay" by Shephard.
Also "Who am I? McGuyver?" by McKay.
I'm not sure about the Wraith doing deals, I could never trust them to keep a deal when they crave your life energy itself, but forget the plot, this was a fun episode.
