Is Atlantis doing a two-part finale after this, or just a single ep?

I figure even though I was never really into SGA, I might as well see how it ends.
 
The episode started good, with the mystery of who the woman in Keller's body is. But us quickly descended to a very predictable story line.

They are linked in a similar way to "There But For the Grace of God", "Politics" and "Within the Serpent's Grasp". They aren't a two-parter as such, but they are linked.
 
Crap episode. Predictable, rehashed and boring.

More forests.

More villages.

More Keller proving why she's the worst character ever cast in any SG show or movie. How many episodes have been dedicated to her this year ffs.

They took what was in the case of the Daniel/Vala swap an interesting little mechanism for getting characters somewhere else... and made a whole episode about it. And a pretty terrible episode as it turns out. What a waste of an hour.

Keller gets more annoying every week. Her whining to McKay in Janus' lab was a perfect illustation of how silly her character is.

Also these typical, weekly final scenes in the infirmary are getting worse and worse. This one was cringe-worthingly awkward. Like it was a bunch of people who really didn't know what to say to each other.

Hopefully the last two episodes will be better
 
Good show with a neat idea and creepy execution. I remember, reading about Sliders, that the standards and practices of SciFi forbid pointing a gun at peoples heads. And what happens here - the episode ends with a headshot. Obviously times have changed...
 
Average at best, I liked it better when SG1 did it.

I like Atlantis, but this last season is not the best.
 
Okay.

I disagree about the guest's acting abilities. If this really could happen to two people, I think she nailed the confused and awkward bit. She acted exactly how most people would act. I think she understood her character and situation and played the bit to a tee. I was sold. That said, I did not particularly like the actress or find her interesting, but she was playing a part where she appropriately said very little.

Plot wise, this was not so great, but I was still a little amused. However, I am very disappointed that we are this close to the end and getting scripts that were probably early season rejects. I would guess they did not have enough money to finish this season and cut everywhere they could, including on the writing. Many of the episodes this season have the feel that they were rejects from scripts during the Atlantis run.
 
Average. Cool ending, I must admit. That much was sufficiently different from the previous use to make it worthwhile. Entertaining.
 
Bad

Seemed like everyone involved with this one was sleepwalking through it, can't really blame them.
