Just Todd

I spent almost 2 days just watching the very final 5th season of Stargate Atlantis on DVD.
Now I have very mixed emotions concerning this SciFi series: very sad that the series came to an end after only 5 years but also glad that a lot of episodes of the final year had my favourite Wraith as the main character. Happy to see that he survived all the action, and his presence in Atlantis in the final episode can give some inspiration for good fanfiction. And who knows, maybe we will see Todd back in the SG Atlantis movies if Christopher Heyerdahl wants to come back. If he is able because I just heard that he will play Marcus in the 2nd Twilight movie about Stephenie Meyers Vampire series.
My favourite episodes of the 5th year are "The Queen": Teyla Emmagan literally crawls into a Wraith skin to play Todds's Queen in a plot to seek an alliance with the Primary Queen and becomes an unwilling but graceful assistant when Todd kills the High Queen. Yes, Todd always has his own hidden agenda, he simply forgot to mention he wanted to become the ruler of them all; and "Vegas": an alternate universe episode about John Sheppard as a cop investigating gruesome murders in Las Vegas. Todd is very poetic and utterly crazy in this episode.
Following clip has been made by WraithLollipop. I will include another clip in the next days with Christopher Heyerdahls' magnificent Wraith voice and humor.
