Rodney said "I was float in a dark place and it just came to him". Maybe it was the other accended beings telling him how to go back to normal because they didn't want to spend eternity listening to his super ego. Lol
If only you'd kept it going for a few more seconds! The next bit makes me howl Rodneys like you can be my sidekick we'd be Batman and Ronan and Ronan says "You keep eating like that it'll be more like fatman" 😂😂

It´s actually explainable - higher level of brain activity needs more energy. While IRL, you can´t go past your body limits, not without heavy (mostly death sentence) sacrifices.
Like when Jack had the knowledge of the ancients and the stargate is jammed off-world. Isn't it lucky someone with some sort of superpower is around right when you need them!
This was Rodney's chance to put Ronon in his place. But a nerd will always be a nerd and Ronon knows this. It's a always the same everywhere in the galaxy :))
Rodney takes Ronan's gun as a joke, Ronan punches him in the face or head butts him to unconsciousness. Rodney wakes up to Ronon sitting next to him. Ronan says, "don't touch my gun" walks away.
hell I loooove telekinesis.. I swear that this particular ability/power would suffice and make me content.. and of course I would use it for good.. well of course I would use it for fun too but not at anybody´s expense..
I remember resenting this show when it first came out, like it was the upstart trying to replace SG-1. But as time went on I saw it more as just an expansion of Stargate in general. The few crossover episodes did a lot to help with that.
@@Jallorn No it didn't break. The problem is that setting it to reverse required being infinitely close to ascension (or being ascended yourself, if we go with the "The Ancients told Rodney how to undo it so they wouldn't have to put up with him" theory) so undoing THAT is pretty much impossible. Also it starts a countdown at whose end you either ascend or die. That's kind of a big issue.
I dislike this episode, not for the content itself, but because it’s a marker, to another episode shortly down the line from this one, where two of McKay’s subordinates directly reference this episode and McKay’s reckless actions, after they touched something they weren’t supposed to. Those of you who know, you know my pain… Those of you who don’t, watch the series.
@@Shadowkey392 I say the Ancients in the Pegasus Galaxy took one look at Rodney, decided they didn't want him in their club, and told him how to avoid dying/Ascending
Okay I will comment on this... if you guys see me doing things that you atribute to super powers... lol... I must quote the prophet Jesus who said " I do nothing of myself all things through the father" If a few people are seeing me do things... that I don't know that I am doing it's not me who is doing them it's God... ... once again... I have never seen myself have any kind of superpowers and I think you are crazy for believing that I have super powers
You left out the best part, when Rodney suggested he and Ronon could be a super hero team, like "Batman and Ronon". Ronon noted on him eating, and turned it into "More like Fatman".
If i can move things with my mind, exclusive use for games. Like claw machines or carnival games. Maybe do a little bit of gambling. But if it shortens my life in any way, I don't want them.
People gave Weir too little credit. She was pretty much a random civilian they pulled in because she had a diplomatic background and the right test scores and she grew into her role with a determined focus that kept the SGA team from pretty much disintegrating within the first week despite having much worse to work with. Yes, Rodney is smart, yes, Ronon is an expert fighter, yes, Carson's gifted as hell, but they're all people that are much, much, MUCH less experienced and intrinsically on-task compared to what the Cheyenne Mountain Complex can field, and the way she rapidly adjusted to the new situation in this episode highlights her skills beautifully.
She resorts to saber rattling a bit too often for who is supposed to be a trained diplomat. Now I could _understand_ if she was a military commander, but no, she's a civilian. SG-1 implied she's just compensating because she is out of her depth, but it's not like Atlantis ever followed up much on this idea, so she comes across as a vague generic leader guy. Great character, bad for the role she is in.
@@saberiandream316 She's an American diplomat hired by the airforce. They aren't gonna select someone who'd otherwise be stationed somewhere in Germany to parley with potentially hostile aliens.
What season and episode was this? I remember seeing it on Sci-fi years ago. I loved this episode. Especially when he hugged Ronin and healed his scars.
Yup. Ronan technically CAN beat Rodney. All he has to do is stun Rodney before he can even do anything because all of his abilities he has to will it. He can’t just randomly do it, which if Ronan catches that, just prevent Rodney from thinking to do it.
2 things it would of been so funny to see him actually try Ronon, the great debate brain over brawn & 2. It would of been great and annoying had he actually ascended. Cause remember the rule the Atlantis people had no ascended being can help them but that rule might of only applied to them Rodney would be thinking wait am I bond by that rule.
In this, i liked the scene when he was confronted by Sheppard and Weir about the downside of his condition and both of them didn´t even need to open their mouths. He did all the talking alone.
We had SG:U which was pretty ok (better than the first seasons of SG-1 and certainly better than the last seasons of SG-1), but people got whiny because it wasn't the ol' shooty-shooty military tough grawwwr cast, so it got cancelled.
@@DrZaius3141 More like it was more interested in character drama than the sense of adventure that made Stargate popular. People hated Universe because it stopped being about exploring the galaxy, not because it dropped the military focus.
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK Not true, season 2 had a huge focus on Destinies mission, which is up there with other crazy stargate plots. To say they dropped the galaxy exploration part would spit in the face of the entire show.
@@zethcader6478 The problem is that a lot of people (myself included) had already given up on Universe by the time season 2 came around. I've learned better in the two years since I left that comment, but I still haven't gotten around to forcing myself through that first season to get to the part where it gets good.
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK The truth is that SGA fans were so toxic about the cancel of an Atlantis movie that they boycotted SGU. They were completly dumb and thanks to them, Stargate is dead now. Congratulations.
I missed this one, gotta get the box set to watch ones I missed. Which is quite a few now that I think about it. Watched most of the 1st season, about half of the 2nd, a bit of the 3rd and 4th and hardly any of the others.
[Outsider Looking In... Do Not Shoot The Messenger] The page was slow loading, and the thumbnail was grainy. Seei ngthe title, my brain processed that fractionally before the channel name, and a brief instant thought.. "YES! The Batman and Robin running to the party clip".. which is a damn classic.before thinking "Wait.. Robin doesn't have SuperPowers....????" Then realised it was StarGate:Atlantis, which episode it was, and so was not disapointed... Just a different genre. Am 'Going Away Now' after watching this, to search For 'Batman and Robin Save The Councillor" scene
Ronan would just be all cool headed as usual. John would probably be like Rodney and goof around a bit/a'lot. Teyla........she already kinda has powers so nothing new there in behavior. Elizabeth might jump the gun or go on a mission or something, get relieved of her duties till they get things sorted out..
Rodney said "I was float in a dark place and it just came to him". Maybe it was the other accended beings telling him how to go back to normal because they didn't want to spend eternity listening to his super ego. Lol
This, no doubt in my mind this is how it went down.
Or maybe they knew he wouldn't keep his mouth shut, like O'Neil he would use the powers of being ascendant.
ON REAL LIFE THIS IS POSEBLE
THE MIND BECOME GOD
I'm going to believe this is what happened
Some times the best solution is the most simple solution it was so simple that his massive intelligence over looked it for it's simplistically
If only you'd kept it going for a few more seconds! The next bit makes me howl Rodneys like you can be my sidekick we'd be Batman and Ronan and Ronan says "You keep eating like that it'll be more like fatman" 😂😂

And of course, we all know that originally, Rodney was actually Robin, the sidekick, whilst it was Del who was The Batman.
*winks*

*winks*
"Does super ego count?" LOL
I think that was a pre-existing condition...
Did seem to increase though although it was difficult to tell since he such a big ego before!
They did say that the gene therapy amplyfies your original traits so yes, his ego may have gone off the charts.
Becket's reaction when he sees Rodney eating "My god he's eating again"😂
It´s actually explainable - higher level of brain activity needs more energy.
While IRL, you can´t go past your body limits, not without heavy (mostly death sentence) sacrifices.
I miss this show, and this universe, so damn much....
Don't worry. A new one is on the way!
I love how while Carson's in the air even Ronon has a "holy shit" look on his face.
Jon Ericson believe me I find this as disturbing as you do
@@finaladvance5085 Like bloody hell you do!
lol even with powers Rodney is still afraid of Ronon "You care to put that to a test?" *smirks*"Do you?" "Well...no not really." :P
I think it's because he'a afraid that if he loses his powers, he's gonna get it.
And yet that same episode is heals Ronon's scars. :)
The Force is strong with Rodney. :D
LOL! When he grabs the donut on the way out.
DAmn it is WEIRD seeing Jason Momoa skinny.
“That donut had chocolate on it before, where’d it go?”
“Did you see the way Carson slapped it out of the air? It’s all on his hand.”
lol but for real the donut is upside down. If the clip went 2 seconds longer you can spot the chocolate when rodney turns it sideways
He is a jedi!
Sarcasm is Rodneys strongest super power.
You know that donut would be gone by the end of the scene...
2:48 Ronin: My IQ is 200
Rodney: That's a metaphor?
Ronin: **punches palm**
Rodney: You've been holding back this whole time
hey atlantis john tell dr.weir imtaking 20 years off star gate ill be back.
Like when Jack had the knowledge of the ancients and the stargate is jammed off-world. Isn't it lucky someone with some sort of superpower is around right when you need them!
I like the ability to attract donuts to your hand, that is my favourite super power.
Combined with a higher metabolism to stay balanced
back then, when the writing was brilliant
My favorite episode.
This was Rodney's chance to put Ronon in his place. But a nerd will always be a nerd and Ronon knows this. It's a always the same everywhere in the galaxy :))

@@nuclearwinter391 So you do mean smart, but you are too stupid to realize it. Gotcha.

Good
I'd like to have seen Rodney manage to kick Ronon's ass. It's out of character for him, sure, but it still would have been neat to see it just once.
Rodney takes Ronan's gun as a joke, Ronan punches him in the face or head butts him to unconsciousness. Rodney wakes up to Ronon sitting next to him. Ronan says, "don't touch my gun" walks away.
Not when Rodney's Super Rodney. Compared to telekinesis, super reflexes and super strength are probably really simple.

Stargate: Atlantis
Who could forget that Time Rodney turned into Akira
Let me guess...the effect ends up having negative side effects and Mckay freaks out and overreacts ike the self important man-child he is.
VERY negative side effects. A good episode though.
I'm not sure there are any "overreactions" to dying... which was the end result.
Death or ascension.
ziiofswe it wasn’t death, it was near-Ascension.
@@Shadowkey392 I say the Ancients in the Pegasus Galaxy took one look at Rodney, decided they didn't want him in their club, and told him how to avoid dying/Ascending
They should have sent him to deal with the Ori Priors, shame he didn’t use the full extent of his abilities,
Well he is still even with super powers, a coward... XD
@Touko Mizu coward is a strong word but less not go overboard like he was a perfect example of courage.
minus several million points for not including "I think I just lost big time!"

When I saw the Justice League I was like holy shit, it's Batman and Ronon.
Fartman perhaps, food related?over carbs??
If I have super abilities the first thing that I will do is use it to steal other people's iced donuts.
If i can move things with my mind, exclusive use for games. Like claw machines or carnival games. Maybe do a little bit of gambling. But if it shortens my life in any way, I don't want them.
c'mon ..poppa needs a hard eight
Andrew Grimm your name would be Captain Iced Doughnut Man!
Canadian confirmed. Shun the non-believer.
I didnt realize that the ori did the same with priors and anubis with his “son.”
Yeah, except that the Priors were on a level just below ascension, and they actually had all of the powers at once.
Damn he looks so much like tarantino
If you close both eyes, then sure
