I've been watching Stargate Atlantis and finally Jewel had an episode where she was more than just an exposition filler for medical knowledge. I thought she did a great job in "Missing" where she and Teyla are in a very dangerous situation on a planet. Her character finally had a chance to grow and expand a little and we learned more about her background. Still Stargate can't hold a candle to Firefly. How did that show stay on the air for ten years? And now Atlantis has been renewed for a fifth season. There is no justice.

Jewel was most impressive last night. Really played her part well.

"First I have to have someone to treat," she says and shoots the man in the leg.

Now that's a doctor!

Loved the movie Stargate. Tried watching SG1 a few times, and gave up, mostly because the episodes I saw never lived up to the movie. Never watched the spin-offs until last night's episode featuring so much of Jewel (I'll watch anything w/a BDH at least once). It wasn't too bad, and enjoyed her part in the episode.

Was anyone else reminded of River fighting reavers when Jewel's female companion was fighting the enemy (sorry - don't remember any character names). Next time I'm home on a Friday night might have to watch again.

I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass...

I don't watch SG Atlantis that much and was happy when I saw her in an action scene while flipping channels. There was a second when I thought "oh no, Kaylee's going to get shot again", then when she had the gun and shot him in the leg, I almost cheered for her, she did what she had to but stayed true to her morals...then I remembered, "oh yea, it's not Kaylee...damn you F*X! (once again)".

Reality always seems harsher in the early morning.

I love both Stargates, but yes, nice to see another BDH get a good role.

Liked the episode, moreso because it not only allowed Jewel's character to develop, but because it was a real Teyla centric episode. I think it is also setting the stage for some more episodes down the road where Teyla will get some attention. What is it the doc wants to talk to Teyla about? What is the mystery?

Did anyone else get annoyed with how whiney Jewel's character seemed to be? I know it was merely setting the stage for her finding her courage at the end of the episode, but it really grated on my nerves the first part of the episode.

INdeed, I watched it, we watched and learned Jewel's character developing in that episode. I believe that the character share almost similar traits as the Kaylee. yall agree?

I think Teyla is pregnant. The whole episode they were dropping lines about Teyla having recently developed a romantic interest with one of her native people. Now she will be obsessed with finding them for a whole other reason.

Watching Teyla fighting is always awe inspiring. Whoever does the fight choreography did a splendid job in this episode. Her enemies were attacking in concert instead of the old one guy attacks while the others stand around waiting for their turn to be killed. Those guys really reminded me of Reavers what with the grunting and cannibalism. Danny Trejo as the chieftain was great, that guy is so underappreciated.
