wonderful review! I completely agree with your analysis of the John & Rodney argument...

and yes, Atlantis is supposed to be run by a woman! ever since the start of Season 2, when we saw that Elizabeth left Teyla in charge while she & the Boys went back to Earth...

and oh, yes, you are so right--I loved Radek so much! and I was terrified they were going to kill him during the space walk...
