The team fights to retake control of Atlantis when the control room is infiltrated by an old enemy.

Sounds kinda bleh, but we’ll see, hey, at least Connor Trinneer so yay

 

[Procutus]

Yeah, the return of Trip the Wraith!

 

[Brent]

Wow! That was actually a pretty awesome intro there, just doin regular stuff, and then the spookiness of the city being dark, except for the control room, mystery

Pretty good start to the episode

 

[Procutus]

Yeah, not bad, though as the Missus just pointed out, they seem to have this problem quite a bit (losing power).

 

[Brent]

hah, yes, indeed

so far pretty neat, I like how they made the city actually look big by explaining how many levels to the main tower, upwards of 60 apparently, though the walk from the pier to the main tower must have been a killer

i like them walking around with no power, just using flash lights, makes them seem more vulnerable

like all the transporter talk hehe

Anybody else laugh when Sheppard and McKay went back to playing with their remote control cars after Teyla left?

oh yes, that was a great moment

 

[Procutus]

Uh-oh, Ronon's lost his gun!

 

[Brent]

Uh-oh, Ronon's lost his gun!

where are all the knives he use to hide all over himself?

I think he sent them out to be sharpened.

 

[Procutus]

You know it's funny, I just finished reading the ENT novel Kobayashi Maru, and watching this, I can't help but wonder what Connor would look like as a Romulan.

 

[Trippy]

Just as hot as he does a wraith

I don't get to see this ep 'till tomorrow

 

[Brent]

Whoa, holy crap, this is actually good! I am actually impressed with Ronan for the FIRST time, I actually feel like he's not just a mumbling idiot for the FIRST time. "Mr. Wolsey would you please go back to the others" Then the excellent fight scene! I could FEEL the punches being thrown!

 

[Procutus]

Ronon's grown on me and has become one of my favorite SGA characters. He has some great lines. Definitely more than just a mumbling idiot.

 

[Gertch]

"Mr. Wolsey would you please go back to the others" !

Yeah, that was great.

I really wanted him to kick Michael's buggy butt though.


Guess it's a good think Woosley led...

 

[Brent]

This episode has some nice little touches in it, like just now how Rodney's repair kit slid off the control panel in the jumper onto the floor lol

 

[Gertch]

Using the gate was awesome.

 

[Brent]

Color me impressed with this episode

Wow

If only SGA was like this all the time

Seeee! They CAN have a good episode that takes place copletely on Atlantis itself, so my opinion that they should have more Atlantis exploration type episodes of the city itself, stands.

 

[Gertch]

I wasn't so sure about letting Teyla kill Michael but I guess after everyone else she's killed it's no big thing.

Even with Conner this was a good episode. Next week I'm not going to be so thrilled about.

 

[JiNX-01]

After all this time... all the times that Michael had the upper hand... all the times he has escaped ... all the bad things he has done... he dies being DROPPED OFF A BUILDING BY A PISSED-OFF WOMAN?!

I voted good ... because right up to the lazy writing of The Death of Michael it was good.
