Trinity

The ancients abandoned research on a power source due to the danger it could cause to the planet. So, of course the dumbest man in Atlantis thinks he knows better and the idiotic military says sure, go ahead and destroy the planet. How did this show stay on the air so long with this total jerk at the center of things? It's clearly a Canadian quirk that they would choose the most unlikable Canadian in their country to act in this role. This show is an embarrassment to the Stargate franchise.

I agree with the negative reviewers that dividing this episode into two subplots didn't work. It was like watching two fragmented episodes in that way. Still, it had some interesting plot twists. By the way, for those who question the name of the episode, Google trinity. It was the first test of the atomic bomb in 1945. The use of that is the title is obvious once you understand that.

I like the character of Rodney McKay and thought he helped carry the show. For those that really hated him, you're entitled to your opinion. But given the importance of the character, I personally would never have watched the show past the first few episodes if I felt the same. To each his own obviously.

Ronin shows a brutal side. Don't know why the episode is called Trinity. McKay shows even more why he is the weak link in this series. I wish the producers could have chosen a different actor. He's always hyperactive. He talks so fast that you can't understand what he's saying. There is no way you could warm to him. Hope he gets Wraithed sooner than later. Does nothing for this franchise. All other actors/characters are great.
