What I did like about this episode is the way Keller was written in the last half. At the beginning she acted as mousy, weak and whiny as she has most of the time which irks me to no end...but like a breath of fresh air, I think the real Keller emerged. One that is a little feisty, confident, genuinely funny and likable.
Even the last few mins she was even flirty with a real sense of snap. I like that Keller, please keep to her or develop her that way without resorting to woe-is-me back story. Funny thing is I'm writing Keller now a decent amount and I felt I was doing a disservice because it was a hybrid of what I saw on screen and a few elements I thought could be fleshed out..so yay on this.
The episode was neat, I loved the set and adored the girl talk. You're right it was a slice of life episode without the need for bad guys. I did find it slow though, but thats just me.
I agree Martin G is one of the best writers on the staff, I can only hope he'll use his talents and use his magic on a Teyla or Ronon episode or mix the cast up again like this. He's proven he can do Sheppard and Rodney though I'd love to see him do something more focused on John.
I'm happy Rodney has one few the best writers, I love his Rodney because Martin's Rodney is the most fleshed out. Equal parts snark, heroism, intelligence, quirks and gentle heart. Maybe Martin will spread the love to the rest of the cast in season 5.
