Sorry for the shortness, and the rambling, but like I said before, this Act was a bit more difficult to mention things about, and to really ask questions about as well, I think. So perhaps nothing much serious came out of it. Doesn’t always have to be that way, of course.

**

"Why aren't they returning fire?" he mused aloud.

Hmm, let’s see. The Hive Commander is having some fun in his bedroom, the Hive Second is playing with Sheppard, and the Queen is situated on her bony ass on the Hive floor… Where *is* the Hive Third? Probably wondering where the rest of them are… Poor guy.

**

The hybrid, I don’t know what to think of him… Perhaps the next Act gives us even more of an insight into his character.

*Reads him throwing himself onto his Queen*

Oh, Mikey’s not going to be a happy camper, that’s for sure! *grin*

*Reads on again*

Now they’re rolling together? That’s it, he’s dead! :P

Funny, her pointing her handgun on him. He did not expect that. And doesn’t appreciate it, either. Ah well.

**

"Interesting," Malcolm hissed. "Your anger drives you toward vulgarity, a demonstration, perhaps, of your status among males of your kind. Are you… an alpha among your own… John. Sheppard? Come then – let us finish this."

With this one I can be very short. On the floor. Laughing…

**

he wondered what one called a genius whose mental capacity exceeded that of the ordinary genius by at least three times the norm.

Samantha Carter… :D

**

"You should have allowed her to come," he said, the menace dripping from every syllable he spoke.

And what would the Hive Second have done, had she shown up? Fight her? The one he already chose not to hurt too much before, because it would be a shame as she and Michael are so close to each other, and he fits his plans?

Is he angry at Sheppard for having dared to bang his head against his, or what? Lol. Kinda funny.

**

How dare they do this to him – create some kind of doppelganger and send it against him; to break him – the ultimate, final injury they could inflict.

They are good, aren’t they? Silly, very hurt boy.

**

Her eyes widened and he felt her stiffen in his grasp as he fell into the deep brown of her eyes, that already were warming with horrified compassion for his plight.

She has compassion for his plight, or for him?

Oh, Mikey, just you wait until you see how she will be much less horrified with your plight. I’m looking forward to her popping the question. Bummer we can’t see his face on telly, but I bet it’s going to be good.

"Michael?" she gasped, and her voice was filled with the pain he could find no way to express.

Toopid watching hybrid… No hug. Though he did fall to his knees in weakness. I’m sure he would have wanted to do a bit more, if not because of that toopid watching hybrid.

(cont.)

There's no problem with shortness, like you said to me somewhere, things are getting to be serious...

**

The HC was having way too much fun in the bedroom (and still is). Malcolm is beating up on the second, and the Queen, indeed was driven floorward by Ms Teyla. The Hive third is stressed out to the nines trying to keep things working. Overworked and definitely underpaid.

**

That hybrid really - just a means to an end, but we might get to see more of him in the future - either that or Michael might decide he's outlived his usefulness.. I don't know. He's probably not going to be happy about the hybrid manhandling Ms Teyla, no.

**

Why is the thought of Malcolm asking Sheppard if he's an 'alpha male' so funny?

**

Oooh, loved the comment about Sam carter.

**

I'm sure Malcolm would have fought with Teyla, just to see how 'good' she was. I'm sure he could 'fit her in' to his plans somewhere see...

Oh yes, Malcolm has plans.

Yeah, he doesn't like that Sheppard manages to get one over on him.

**

Michael was, very hurt and very silly.

**

Well, she has compassion for him /and/ his plight. Does that count?

Um... what question would that be that she's popping. :P

Yeah, can't show emotion in front of the hybrid - at least, not too much. But soon they'll be behind closed door.

Why is that comment of the 'alpha male' so funny?

Are guys really alpha males over here? I mean, with our population we pretty much have a gal for each dude, while with the Wraith you have to fight each other to get the Queen...

That's why it's funny.

**

Sam's awesome. Pity she couldn't show it on SGA.

**

Malcolm has plans, huh? I think I commented somewhere that about every high placed Wraith out there has plans with hybrid humans? Lol.

**

The question Teyla's going to pop at some point? 'Michael, would you please stop with killing all these people?' :P

I wonder if that question is going to get them in another fight like Apostasy - Act 2. *cough*

LOL @ those closed doors. Is he going to yell 'stop' at her each time she wants to turn around toward him when there's hybrids present? :-D

Me.

Ah, I see, I get you now. Well, you only have to watch a bunch of guys going at it, hosing down a joint with testosterone to know that /they/ think there's such a thing as an alpha male.

Malcolm's plans don't involve hybrids... and no actually most Wraith commanders are oblivious to their existance, except as 'servants' of the Abomination.

Oh /that/ question. Yeah, that'll be interesting...

He stopped her this time because he knew she'd get emotional... "Above all you must never..." etc.
