Did Malcolm save Isla - well by now /you/ know the answer to that question... And your second question is a very good one.

The Hive Second came to know who they were facing yes. And yes, he'd read the information about the CBW from Michael's mind during that fateful interrogation where he actually pushed so hard he damaged Michael's mind. That's something worth remembering...

**

Yeah, but Shep doesn't know that Michael was the original creator of the Cascade Beam, working together with Todd... way back when...

**

No, Teyla's not facing her own death. It's never made clear in the text, at least not yet (we will come to see it in flashback another time I'm sure), she was sending a genuine communication to Sheppard while she and Michael were escaping the Hive. each of those little ... in the broken message represents a word. Mind you, Michael /did/ cut it close. And the Michael's Hive jumped away before the Elder Hive /finished/ exploding, but after it had begun. Can't leave before you're sure a job is done.

**

THe HC is rather catlike... that's all I'll say at this point.

**

I like to think that, just before she blew up, Milla came to know that Michael understands.

**

I like Kevin. He's way underrated if you ask me.

**

Beckett is just being honest. Believe me, he's feeling his own guilt in all this like a stone around his neck.

Michael is prepared to forgive Teyla, if only she will accept her responsibility and not keep trying to make excuses... but the time is coming... :)

**

Well, you have seen the first act now, and know where certain things are going. :P

Later lovie.

Hmm, not sure, or I am, and just checking? Isla hid herself away, or Malcolm hid Isla away?

**

I hope the HC doesn't have many of his kitty lives left. Perhaps with his current scheme... You do have a picture of a very irritated Queen as the pic of Act 3 of Apostasy... Hmm. We'll see.

**

I'm curious to see what kind of responsibilities Teyla will be given when the time comes.

**

Well, Act 1 and Act 2 of Apostasy were both love. :-D

Hope you're good.

Me.

When do you mean about Isla hiding away?
