Spoilers on who the aliens are

The aliens are the Asgard well atleast a lost tribe just seen a clip of the next ep

God Damn, why ever would they do that? Theories? And I wonder if Daniel gets to
do the puppets' voice?
 
I thought Todd blamed the humans because when he saw his ship blow up he knew it was the Ancient device...which is only found on Atlantis. He said "somehow, you've found the blankity-blank device."
 
Yes, that's exactly what he said. He'd obviously seen this before, so he concluded that they must have found the device.

Oh, and Kree Atlantis! First one of those I've given in awhile.
 
He could've sent a message to Atlantis saying "Sorry, but I like feasting on farmers rather than the apples they grow. The deal is off."

No he couldn't, because he used that line last week. "I hope they're as delicious as the farmers who grew them." Hehe.
 
I voted Excellent. I really enjoyed this one, and was pleasently surprised to find out that it's a two-parter, which I didn't know ahead of time.

Part 2 looks to be even more kick-ass.


:techman:

Not so - we saw another Atlantis-class city in The Tower. Christ knows how many other cities/Ancient outposts there are out there.

Plenty of farmers out there. And apples too.

Nothing stopping Todd reusing that line again and again......until the Wraith runs out of farmers to feed on. ;)

But Atlantis was the capitol. The Wraith drove them all back there. Presumably, if they left behind anything that wasn't nailed down, it'd be on Atlantis.

It was a bit of a leap for Todd to conclude it was some kind of trap, considering it makes no logical sense whatsoever. If they were going to use the doomsday device, why would they surrender one of their very few ships and two of their highest-ranking people to the Wraith.

Wait, no, I just realized how it makes sense: coercion. If Todd can't or won't get the Wraith to give up on vampirism, the humans activate the attero device and tell them they can either start eating with their mouths, starve, or explode.

Plus, if you consider how often the Atlantis team has double crossed their allies, Wraith or otherwise, it's not that big a leap for him to think they've done it to him.
 
I voted Excellent but with some reservations.

Some points:

* McKay solving Daniel's little puzzle for him was funny. As it stands, Daniel's appearance in this episode is entirely superfluous. They could have easily just have had McKay find the lab on his own.

* These new aliens are the Breen, aren't they ? The cold weather planet (which probably isn't their homeworld), the suits, the voices.

* The Gate "nuke" was the side-effect, clearly. The device causes Stargates to explode as we saw here.

* Yay! Sheppard's dead!!!

* They very well may be the Furlings, but that would require the average viewer to remember a race that has barely been mentioned since the name was first used in "The Fifth Race".

* I was right, Ronon was just being a jerk, and now he's going to Die Hard it with Keller.

* I'm expecting some sort of time reversal thing here. The fact that they mentioned Janus' experiments with time travel in the recap is suspicious.
 
^I'm not so sure. If they were the Furlings, they should be able to activate it without McKay's help if they were up there with the Asgard, Ancients, and the Nox?
 
^It's possible they never had access to a living breathing Ancient to get a DNA sample so they could recreate the ATA gene. The SGC did (see "Frozen" from SG-1 season six), plus others like O'Neill and Sheppard have the gene naturally.
 
Mmm. Perhaps. But I thought they might be advanced enough to get around it, especially since they were supposed to be allies.
