Ronon Dex is captured by the Wraith and returned to his homeworld, where he is haunted by his past as he is forced to once again become their prey.​

Okay, after last's week show, which I am trying still to get over. *laughing a bit much* Now back to the seriousness of the problem. The Wraith. Anyone modded them into the D&D copies yet?

 

[DMH]

We finally see the human side of Ronon (a good thing). I wonder if that hive was all male- it looked like he was on the throne.

 

[Hand of Evil]

About time they did some background.

 

[Truth Seeker]

Yes...and it was butt-kicking too.

Kickass episode. The scene in the warehouse and his fight against the hive king was great.

Really ?? The slo mo, overwrought expressions, shaky and filtered camera work, and even more so, THE slo mo explosion outlining Ronon seemed so cheesy and forced... I burst out laughing many many times, and I wasnt laughing with the show if ya know what I mean!.

Wasnt a great week overall for the gates.

I disagree.

I love shaky POV camera work, and flashbacks. The cheesy slow mo explosion is so...Ronan. It just fit.

 

[Jamdin]

I loved last night's episode especially Ronon's flashbacks. He has been my favorite character ever since he first joined the show.

 

[Mistwell]

I thought it was a great episode. A bit video-game at times, but it was a lot of fun.

 

[Napftor]

It was good to have a character episode (especially for Ronon). I attribute the wonky camera-work to Robert Cooper. I guess the exec. producer/writer felt like getting out of the office for this ep. On the whole, it was very well done. Atlantis is certainly coming into its own (although the previous episode was like taking 2 steps back). I just wish not every story had to deal with the Wraith.

Oh, and best line goes to Rodney after getting shot: "That did not just happen!"
