A brief excerpt from the Episode Guide:

PRODUCTION


"There is a story I've been wanting to do in the back half of the season [Season Four], which is a Ronon story which essentially is the sequel to 'Reunion.' Just because the stories that needed telling in the back half would never got around to making it. The sequel that I would like to do in Season Five ... would afford us the opportunity to see a little of Ronon's dark side, so in response to that Jason [Momoa] will get the opportunity to go to the dark side."

(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in an interview with Slice of SciFi)

I almost thought Teyla would have resigned and turned into a recurring character. I was expecting Captain Alicia Vega to turn up. I'm guessing we'll get to see her in Whispers.

The show is gaining on stability. I loved the part when they went to find Ronan's ole' friend who was just like we'd seen before - drunk. WLOL

Who directed the kawoosh scene? It was bad. I like it when Martin Wood does things - all in 1 single large moving shot featuring the entire room, the team coming and Woolsey saying the cliche "good luck or something" and the camera turning towards to gate and zoom towards the inside of the wormhole.

Woolsey was made funny in this ep. Is he a hologram? Doors sensors don't pick him up. WLOL. Nah, he isn't 'coz he held the cute baby. AWwww.

Woolsey is great! I like him more than before.

I was dissecting the episode with a friend and here's part of the conversation:

"back when mckay had got infected with the enzyme (but not brainwashed) dr. beckett told elizabeth that they had to use the stunner on him to calm him down (and he recovered fairly quickly) - maybe the stunner could have been used on ronan but that would have made the episode less beautiful."

What do you think? Should the New Atlantians (should we call the new residents as such now? wlol) have used the stunner on Tyre and Ronan? The stunner would not have affected the withdrawal chemicals as far as I've understood from prev. episodes.

Anyway, Broken Ties is definitely in the hall of fame of Stargate Atlantis Best episodes.
