Thoughts and Comments About Infection
There are minor spoilers in my comments...
Considering all that's gone before between Todd and the Atlantis team, especially Sheppard, I had problems with this episode on many levels. Overall I enjoyed the chance to revisit Todd, because he is without a doubt one of my favorite ancillary characters in the Stargate Atlantis universe (and all of Stargate, actually); however, I wanted the writers to handle the trust issues between Sheppard and Todd better, but they didn't.
Maybe I'm meant to hate Todd because he is what he is, but I don't. He's shown moments of compassion and heroics. Remember Miller's Crossing and The Last Man? Todd is a complex character. I hope to see him living on in the Stargate Atlantis universe in future episodes and movies. Whether that comes to pass is still to be seen.
