I enjoyed the episode too! Although since it's the middle part of a 3-episode arc, I'll have to wait until next week to give final judgment on it.
I loved all the great moments between the boys too. I could see how difficult it was for them both to deal with the fact that the Elizabeth they knew was gone. *sniff* Poor Shep. I could see how broken up he was about losing her, but he still had to be the leader and do what was best for the city.
I was glad to see also that McKay's experiences last season -- Tao of Rodney and McKay & Mrs. Miller -- have left their mark on him. I knew he was going to call him 'John' in this epi, but it was still surprising to hear it. As was his apology. But McKay is still McKay, and I loved his scenes with Zelenka, finishing each other's sentences. *giggle*
I love Jewel Staite from 'Firefly', but boy, do I miss Carson. It would have made those scenes about Weir's prognosis even more powerful. I wonder, though, if Carson would have even approached McKay about using the nano-bots.
I'm reserving judgment on Carter too, but I have to admit her scenes dragged down the pace of the epi. I know they're trying to introduce her, but it just felt forced.
