There is a terribly sweet scene with Rodney and Ronan in this episode, and that's all I'll say, other than it did a good job of washing the taste of "Irresponsible" out of my mouth :)
At the end, when he got the answer, I said to my sweetie, the other Ascended probably saw that he was about to ascend and were like "Oh, no, we don't want him" and sent him the answer of how to save himself :)
great episode, first i thought it would be similar to the episode in sg-1 where jack had the ancient knowledge but it was quite different and i liked it, good to see a better/ more considerate side of rodney towards the end of the episode and their was some good character interaction between him and the others.

Lol. That's exactly what I was thinking too :P. They probably thought:
"Oh noes! He'll be bugging us everytime he discovers something new about Physics!"
Lol. Anyway it was a pretty neat episode. For a minute I thought they were gonna kill off Zelenka:o. That would have been the last straw for me. Especially after what happened to Grodin :evil:. Lots of great comedy though and I thought it was nice the way Rodney went round "making his peace" with everybody :). Only wish we had got to see the scene where all the bad guys' guns jammed.
After Rodney hugged Ronon and said "I just healed them", my bf and I were both "Awwwww". Such an incredibly sweet moment, right up there with when Teal'c was trying to say goodbye to Ancient knowledge-loaded O'Neill in Lost City and O'Neill just reached over and touched him. Very un-selfconscious, and an awesome display of how much the characters care about each other.

I thought it episode was really cool because it had some great character interactions, and I actually though Mckay was really going to ascend at the end.

i don't think they will ever kill zelenka off, at least i hope not. since my best friend had seen it first and wasn't dying i knew the episode was safe since zelenka's our fave as well. (and funnily enough she loved grodin and pouted for weeks after that episode...) rodney would have to make his peace, i mean he makes a lot of people mad on a daily basis *snickers* but yeah the ancients did not want to have to deal with rodney, i would almost feel sorry for them if they had to, if i didn't think they that they are such jerks. i mean they start problems and /never/ fix them.
It was good but I don't think it was awesome. I voted yes. I didn't like the fact that they said what happend to Rodney was just a fluke. I guess they didn't want to set up they becoming superhumans before every mission. It abut tie the started exploring the city more tho even it was just to shut off some un-nessarys systems.
I loved this episode. To me, it was a mix of both Lost City (where Jack was having all the Ancient knowledge) and Meridian (when Daniel died and ascended). You got the whole "My brain is being filled with loads of junk that can help everyone soooooo much" from Jack. And then you got the whole dying part and making amends with everyone around him and everyone saying their last words to him (and them being around his bedside at the end). For me there were a few teary eyed moments in there. But I knew he wasn't going to ascend, because they already pulled that. And like others, the thought of Rodney being ascended and getting some one on one time with the Ancients... I can just picture it... Rodney: I am soooooo smarter than all of you. If you did this, this, and this you wouldn't have lost the war. Ancients: ... I say we throw him off a cliff... XD
it seems like atlantis would have some kind room just for making zpms with a few instructions, maybe. :roll:mgmeek
Yeah there mush be one of those, but they still this they should start trading with farmers instead of searching the cith of a room like you said. Thats the one think I don't like about Atlantis.
This episode was great until the end. I thought the way Rodney cycled through his emotions and finally came to grips with his fate was fantastic, but the end, when he and Elizabeth were going back-and-forth about the "We love you" comment spoiled it for me. I just hoped to see more of a "change" from Rodney than that, not the "Oooh, I almost ascended? Wow...ah, I don't care..." I don't mean I want to see him go all spiritual or anything, but I'd like to have seen (or hope to see) him deal with this a little bit more in future episodes (and it really makes me wonder about how Sunday is going to go down).

Best line of the episode: "Hey, we should be partners...you can be my sidekick. It'll be like Batman and Ronon." "You keep eating like that and it'll be more like Fatman."
i don't think they will ever kill zelenka off, at least i hope not.firebubbles
Zelenka is the only person that could even remotely keep Rodney's ego in check, aside from Carter. Although, now that I think of it, that cadet at the Air Force Academy that Carter took an interest in would really strike a blow to his ego. That would make for a darn good episode.
