is tonight's episode and I'm looking forward to it. Been avoiding spoilers as best I can and I don't know too much. Just that on Joe Malozzi's blog he said that Daniel's prior story arc had originally been thought of as taking place over a few episodes but that in the end they did it in one. And that's the Shroud. I'm hoping it is going to show the brilliance of the Quest Part II.

Last week's episode was great though wasn't it? To think there's a universe where Sam and Rodney were married. Sam McKay? That's a hard one to imagine! As we were watching we were wondering - just how long did the marriage last? My money is on 7 months tops. That must have been a very different Sam in that universe though. As much as I love our Sam and MacKay (and I do, they're just brilliant together) I just can't see them ever getting married. I wonder if Sam left that detail out of her report?

Since Sam, after Daniel, is my favourite character on the show, I'm quite pleased she is going to Atlantis. But only quite pleased. I'll be thrilled to bits when I find out that they integrate her character properly into the show and give her a unique role. I asked Joe about this, but clearly my question was phrased wrong. What I'd wanted was reassurance that, since all of Sam's strengths (scientist, military, female) are covered by other characters on the show, that they wouldn't just be using her as a 'McKay' fill in in one episode, and a 'Shepperd' fill in in the next episode etc, but actually give her a role that is all her own. I figure the only way I'll find out is by watching the show.
