query: SGA ep "Irresponsible"

[tielan]

I know that a lot of people hated this ep. It's one of the eps I skipped and never bothered to catch up with (along with a handful of others at that time).

Actually, if you hated it, I'd like to hear from you: the whys and the wherefores of your dislike. I know the general premise and approximately what happens, and I'm not going to be psychotic on spoilers.

I'm interested in people's takes on the episode, but the main thing I want to know is...

I've seen people say that Kolya deserved a better death than he got. My understanding is mostly that somehow he found out Shep and co. were on the planet, tried a takeover, and Shep took Lucius Lavin's "in-vul-ner-a-ble" device and let Kolya have the first shot before he shot Kolya back.

The details might be wrong.

What would people have considered a "satisfactory ending" to the Kolya storyline (assuming that they had to end it)?

HALP?

I think a lot of Season Three was wasted - partly because everyone was spread too thin over both SGA and SG1, and partly because they only reiterated the same old, same old of the previous seasons of both Stargate shows.

Replicators as the bad guys preying on the previously-introduced bad guys, explosive and technological solutions save the day every time, no reference to the Pegasus natives or any consequences that might come of Atlantis' interference, no sense of anything but Earth's almighty importance in the Grand Scheme Of Things.
