Decent episode. Bummer about losing the ZPM. That’s how scientific discovery is, a few steps forward along with a few steps back, but hopefully the forward outnumber the back. But now the danger of the wraith is for more pressing with no shields. Kate Hewlitt and David Hewitt are siblings. Side Note: David Hewlett really does have a passion for learning and tech. He has a degree in psychology and has worked in tech marketing at Google, YouTube, and IBM.

Darn, I was hoping I'd get here fast enough to be the one to tell her they are really siblings. It does make it better, though, I think. The sibling chemistry is 100% genuine and is probably close to how really interact, albeit with some changes to fit the characters.

They mentioned in the episode with all the SG1 teams that the thing that kills alternate reality duplicates isn't a problem if the universes are very close to each other, and this McKay was pulled out of the very nearest one. Yes, it was a handwave to excuse it not being a problem, but it still applies here.

I'm convinced the real multiverse anomaly is how Rodney's ego fits into any reality. I love character dynamic episodes and this one is one of my favorites of that type. And I'm sure it'll be mentioned 50 times in the comments here but yes that's his real life sister.

James Yancy

Yes, yes, they are real bro & sis... Just contributing to the 50 times saying so. 😉

I love the scene with Carter over the screen and them ganging up on Meredith

James

"Who names their son Meredith?" idk maybe someone wanted a daughter lol he is the older brother so who knows. I really liked this episode. Really enjoying these character focused episodes. They really give us more understanding of the character. While the plot itself didnt move along that much i feel like it had good character development and some really nice moments between "Meredith" and his sister. I also loved getting to meet and get to know his sister, she seems really cool and i wouldnt mind her returning. I like episodes that are different and break the formula and this was fun! Off topic but i hope your mental health gets better, I heard you mention it in your SG1 reaction and i feel really bad. I love to see you happy and enjoy things, i hope you will get to the point where you wont have to deal with any mental health issues anymore. Just know that you are loved here. Have a good rest of your day :)

Up to around the 1950s, Meredith was considered a boy's name, after which it started increasingly being given to girls. Assuming McKay was also born in 1968 like David Hewlett, it would have been rough 20 years or so, give or take, into the trend of naming girls Meredith; so maybe not as common to name a boy that, but his parents would have been of a generation where it was still a common boy's name and there's invariably those who are "behind the times" with those kinds of trends.

Oh I think I heard about that a long time ago but just completely forgot. That's actually interesting how many things change. Like how pink used to be for boys and blue used to be for girls. Now it's the opposite. It's very fascinating.

Meredith actually used to be a boy's name until it started being given to girls around the 1950s. By the time Rodney was born, the trend had probably shifted more towards it being a girl's name, but his parents were probably of a generation where it was still commonly given to boys; and those kinds of traditions can die out slowly. Beverly is another example of this. I saw a school production of "The Man Who Came to Dinner" once, where a friend of the main character was named Beverly and played by a female identifying actor, playing the character as a woman - which, based on the dialogue and other context clues seemed very confusing at times, until I looked it up and found that the character is actually supposed to be male; and that Beverly used to be a unisex name.

> > > !!!FOR SHANNAN!!! < < < 1. Soooo... Little refresh info that on a first watch you'd probably miss ...This is NOT. the first time we heard about the existence of McKay's sister Jeannie ....Although NOT. mentioned by name ...McKay mentioned he had a sister back in the 1x13 - "Hot Zone" ...That script originally had McKay mention he had a brother.. However David Hewlett asked if it could be changed to him having a sister since in real life he has a sister (Kate Hewlett) who is also an actor ...NOT. to beg for an opening for his sister to show up ...But it DID. end opening up the opportunity for her to play the role of McKay's sister in this episode... 2 seasons later 2. I kinda like it when special guest stars show up BEFORE. the intro starts playing ...I went over MANY. episodes and was happy to find out that in THIS. instance ...Carter shows up BEFORE. the intro .....Which means less stress on my PC trying to blur out Amanda's name ...I left Kate Hewlett's name there since I figured you either wouldn't notice since you rarely do OR. you'd have a little bit of a guess about it ....And you didn't even look it up ...NICE! 3. Yup ...McKay's full name reveal is so much more funny if spoilers are deleted on time ...You're welcome ...And although this is the first time in sci-fi that I can remember seeing a character with a name typically reserved for those of the opposite sex ...It wouldn't be the last time ...Another character worth mentioning is the female lead of Star Trek Discovery ....The character's name is Michael Burnham .....And no ....Michael isn't short for Michaella or anything ...Michael is LEGIT. her name ....It was confusing at first ...But you get used to it ....McKay on the other hand decided to go with Rodney instead ...But it's interesting how science fiction sometimes tends to accept things much more easily than we do in the real world ...I have to wonder though ...A hundred years from now ...Will there be people out there with names that WE. in this day and age would deem appropriate for only male OR. female but will they consider it normal? 4. Ok ...I barely know anything about The Terminator ....But this alternate version of McKay DEFINITELY. just appeared in the same manner as Arnold Schwartzeneggar did in the movie .....Although luckily for David Hewlett ..."Rod" didn't appear nekkid ...added later... The episode lacked something ...So I added the Terminator theme to the edit when he shows up 5. Y'know ....For a guy who claims he's from an alternate universe ...Rod seems to be VERY. chill about the fact his universe is apparently being torn apart by something McKay and his sister are doing on Atlantis 6. I looked it up to be sure... The unstability you're referring to is called "Entropic Cascade Failure" ...It has a high chance of happening when a person from an alternate universe visits ours but they have little to nothing in common with us .....And is LESS. likely to happen when the 2 universes are almost identical ....Given the amount of things Rod has mentioned and things our characters have picked up on about the differences ...His universe seems to be different from ours in SEVERAL. ways ...Meaning the likelyhood of him ending up suffering from E.C.F. is high .....Buuuuuuttttt... I guess we're just not doing all that stuff anymore and he's fine ......Aaaaalllthough ...I don't think Rod was on Atlantis for that long ...Perhaps IF. he had stayed on Atlantis for a while longer he'd have started to show symptoms ........But most likely this was just a case of TV Show gotta TV Show 7. Apparently Jeannie has 2 more kids in the alternate universe ...Not only does she have a daughter named Maddie (which she does in our universe too) ....Rod also said she had 2 sons called Bradley and Robbie ....A cheeky little reference to producers / show creators Brad Wright and Robert Cooper 8. Blink and you'll miss it moment ...Sheppard and Rod are playing golf on Atlantis ...The bucket with all the golfballs in it has writing on the side "Property of Daedalus, Do not remove" ....Someone broke the rules and stole some stuff that doesn't belong to them ...I approve 9. Aaaaaand there goes our ZPM ...Yup ...We're not only cut off from Earth again ...We're also defenseless without a shield ...Well... I mean... Yeah.. Technically we still have the Daedalus ...Soooo.. We're not completely FUCKED. ....But it's not looking good 10. So I suppose since Jeannie was a bit anti-military and unwilling to sign any NDA's before this episode ...That's the reason she never saw the video McKay recorded for her back in 1x17 "Letters From Pegasus" ....Cause I can't think of another reason she'd be surprised about seeing that recording .....Which is kinda fucked up to think about ...Who else didn't get their potential emotional goodbyes in the case Atlantis was destroyed? 11. Sheppard said he thought Rod was creepy ...Ronon pitches in about Rod: "I can't stand people who are always nice, makes me think they're trying to hide something" ....You: "Then you guys are two-faced as hell" ...TRUE! ...They kept being VERY. friendly with him only for it to turn out they didn't like him?? ....YIKES. ...How about we just be honest with people?? 12. McKay sits down with the group: "What else is new?" ...Sheppard: "Well Teyla has got the hots for one of the new marines" ......Quite possibly lowkey referring to Rachel Luttrell ..Who ended up in a long lasting relationship with an actor who played a marine on Atlantis in the previous season ...They even got married a year after this episode aired ...But also divorced 3 years ago ...I guess marines were a phase

You'll most likely never be fast enough considering I talk to her about the episodes in voice after she's watched them. :P
