2nd favorite episode of the series (after Vegas). That Beer on the pier scene is such classic McKay and Sheppard friendship, I love it. "You're a good friend Arthur."
One of the best episodes of the whole Stargate franchise…
Agreed it'd be hard to find one that was better. I think most of the best episodes had Rodney and his sister in them.
It's amazing how Rodney transformed from SG-1 to this point in Atlantis where you actually care enough to care about his affliction.
Absolutly one of the best, if not the best. A lot of heart in this episode. Very touching, especially in the kind and gentle manner the others treated Rodney.
A great episode, definitely 'up there' as one of the best. Some lovely touching moments. It really shows how the characters have bonded as a family. The pier scene is the best!
Well, on an emotional side. It was a great episode. Overall, I didn't care much to see it only because it only reminds me of what happens in real life with Alzheimers. I think its one of the worst ways to go. I just don't like being reminded of it. There was great acting in this episode. David did an excellent job.
