    The opening sequence is the pseudo "everyman" who experienced an echo of the events that transpired during the battle over Silvertear Falls.
    <snip>
    Down in the basin of this barren landscape, "everyman" is teleported at the last moment, to a new destination. Not "where", but "when"
    <snip>
    "everyman" reappears in presumeably the same spot, 5 years later.
    You know, I think we should all just give him a name at this point.

    I think we should call him something epic.

    I don't know. Let's go with…Todd.

    I've been calling him Bob for a little while. I figure if they don't like Bob they'll tell me something better.

    However, you have to admit, they might just have silly everyday code-names around the office. The script could just call for Hiroshi and Akira to do this while little lalafell Reiko does that... While this doesn't seem likely with SE's depth of lore, it's still possible that they had a conversation equivalent to, "What do we call them in the script?" "I don't know. Bob? He looks like a Bob." and then flash forward to planning The End of an Era, "Okay, Bob's gonna do Steel Cyclone."

    Til now I missed that reference, but...

    When I was making this post, in all honesty I had considered the name Bob, but the context reminded me so much of the plain english names that SG:Atlantis had for the Wraith, I thought "Todd" would be more apt.
