I can't quite decide on this episode, which to those paying attention is my early reaction to a lot of things. But it wasn't great (I haven't *really* enjoyed an episode since Rodney went childlike).

Mainly I just know I found Rodney really annoying in this episode and I don't like that, I love Rodney, but he really annoyed me here. I'm not 100% sure why, but for once I did not find his whining endearing I guess, which is totally weird; like I said I usually love Rodney in all his screwed up factors.

I liked Keller a lot on this episode, and was glad that it wasn't a straight up damsel in distress factor since she got to hold her own when the Wraith attacked and was mostly cooperating with her initial captor by the end anyway. Since the plotline was obviously designed to set Rodney and Ronan up to go after the DiD it was nice that it wasn't *entirely* about that

I still can't quite decide on Mackeller in and of itself, although I prefer Ronan/Keller myself, though I'm not thinking TPTB are going to go that way really, just my own preference. It's partly a chemistry factor in that I just find her the Ronan/Keller chemistry works better for me which I know is totally subjective anyway. I guess I also feel like I have a better handle on why Ronan likes her than I do Rodney and I'm having a hard time getting in Jennifer's head in either case so I have a hard time judging who I think she likes more like that.

Also Rodney evidently took (bad)-hiding lessons from the Robin Hood gang, Keller had much better hiding skills.
