I really felt bad for Elizabeth when Sheppard overrode her authority. She looked so vulnerable, and she was really trying her best to be strong and do the right thing.
I was really impressed with her, there, in a way that she hadn't impressed me yet. She was trying to deal with a horrible situation and one of the people under her not only ignored her authority, but expected her to go along with it. And she may have never realized before that when push came to shove, the military personnel would follow Sheppard instead of her. And it has to be scary to realize that the people with the guns apparently will only listen to you if their commanding officer does.
I'm glad you mentioned Teyla. I thought her body looked amazing, especially her legs. I loved how she was kicking Sheppard's ass (and Sheppard had no problem admitting it :))and then scolding him for not practicing. I thought that whole moment between them was great.
Again, yeah, neither of the female character interested me until this episode. I'm interested now.
I think she was annoyed that Sheppard didn't have more enthusiasm about being locked in the sparring room with her.
Damn it, Sheppard! This is a standard sci-fi trope. Now we're supposed to fall in love and make-out! What happened to your script?
I think your thoughts on Maybourne and Jack are dead-on. I think by the end of the episode it was clear that Jack had grudgingly started to like Maybourne. I think that Maybourne has a serious crush on Jack, though. No matter how much Jack yells at him or berates him or sneers at him, Maybourne still wants his acceptance.
Oh, I'll agree with that. Maybourne respects Jack -- Jack is, I think, kinda what Maybourne wishes that he could be. He wants to be Jack's banter partner. But, you know, position already taken.
I reaaally want Jack to be a full-time part of the team again. It's just sad when he's left behind.
More than that, Jack is sad and that makes me sadder.
