I am little late with my reviews
so in this post you get two for one
" The Queen"This one starts off with a meeting with Todd the Wraith and a proposal to get his help to distribute a gene therapy that the SGA team found through Michaels research that would get the wraith off of sucking the lives out of humans. Todd in turn tells them that in order to do this they need to get the other wraith to trust him so he is in need of a Queen for his hive which in turn leaves Teyla going undercover as his Wraith Hive Queen.
This episode is full of double crosses and you just don't know how it will turn out until the very end. The character moments were great and I just love the concern the team shows for Teyla when she goes undercover pretending to be a wraith queen.
I actually liked this episode but I have to say that I don't know if what they did will eventually help them in the end or if they will end up regretting it but I guess only time will tell
Now onto the next episode:
"Tracker"McKay and Ronon volunteer to assist Dr. Keller with a medical follow-up away from Atlantis. When they reach the planet McKay and Ronon leave Jennifer alone with a patient only to return and find out that she has been kidnapped. Ronon begins to track her abductor while McKay runs back to the Stargate to radio for assistance but just as he reaches the D.H.D. some Wraith come through the gate. He catches up to Ronon and they decide to start tracking Keller themselves before the kidnapper and her get to far ahead and also before the wraith find them.
I felt so bad for Rodney at the end of this episode though and I can tell you this much I really hope he wins what he is after over Ronon
I liked this episode because it really let us know how strong Keller really is as a character on the show. Also I loved the beginning scene with McKay and Sheppard it was so cute and funny. The only thing I was sad about was that I thought we would see a little friendship between Ronon and Rodney but instead Ronon was a little more annoying then usual for me in some of his treatment of McKay. I am so glad that I like Sheppard as a character better because I can barely tolerate Ronon sometimes
Now onto other news which isn't so great sounding to me at least because it makes Universe sound even more like a 90210 in space. Here is what the casting call looks like for the characters of the new show:
Colonel Everett Young40's handsome, capable, former SG team leader. Like the Jack O'Neill of ten years ago, but Young's edges have tended to sharpen over time. He requested permission to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he's temporary commander of a secret off world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him never to take anything for granted, and be prepared for anything. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive. STAR NAMES ONLY. SERIES REGULAR;
Tamara Jon20-25, all ethnicities (Asian Preferably). SGC Field medic, Captain grade. Off world experience. Beautiful, tough, smart, capable. Paramedic level training. Able to triage serious injury. Modest background. Dreamed of being a doctor but couldn't afford medical school and the Air Force was her best option. She ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship but is overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and experience treating seriously wounded and ill patients. She also lacks the medicine and supplies and has to make do. SERIES REGULAR;
Chloe Carpenter20ish. Stunning and sexy. Daughter of a U.S. Senator. Silver spoon upbringing and a little spoiled but not stupid either. Politically and socially savvy. Dreams of following in her father's footsteps but for now she's a bit of a party girl in her first year at an Ivy League school. Her father's tragic death and the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship seriously tests her character. SERIES REGULAR;
Eli Hitchcock20-25. Total slacker. Utter genius. Mathematics, computers, anything he puts his mind to. Acerbic sense of humor. A social outcast. Comes from a broken home. Lacks confidence because his true intelligence has never really been recognized like Matt Damon's character from Good Will Hunting with a little Jack Black thrown in sptv050769. SERIES REGULAR;
Lt. Jared Nash20-25. Junior S.G.C. team member. Officer material but green and rough around the edges. Every teenage girl's fantasy. Like a college quarterback thrown into his first pro game, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready for the responsibility and must learn to take command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities on the ship to keep everyone alive. Like Jason Bourne, he is skilled and well-trained however he is mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation. SERIES REGULAR;
Ron "Psycho" Stasiak20, all ethnicities. Marine. Big, strong, silent. You want him on your side. You don't want him mad at you. Lacks control over his temper in non combat situations. His past is a mystery but it's clear something dark formed the hard shell around him. Yet, there must also be some moral center because otherwise he'd kill everyone around him. Think Eric Bana's character "Hoot" in Blackhawk Down. SERIES REGULAR.
I always new that one scene in the episode "200" with those young cast members would bite us fans in the butt someday
Onto some really good news after that depressing news:
Show Posts
I just wanted to get a review on it to see if it was worth purchasing since I live in the US (prices for the books are around $10.00 here even though they are the size of a paperback 
Let's just say WOW on who they ended up being and I have to say I didn't see it coming.
