Glad its back, the spacesuit jump to fix some hardware outside was a leap of faith

The astro belt was just ott. Nice little cliff hanger.

Yep, pretty good episode, the only thing the asteroid belt bit done was to pave the way for the leap of faith

Good to see Sam, think she might be in this season a fair bit

Repeated Saturday 13th at noon on SkyOne/HD for anyone who missed it

the CGI looked nice but I felt distinctly underwhelmed by the episode as a whole. I do find myself looking forward to having Carter on board because Atlantis needs something. I wish they hadn't ran with the replicator stories, Stargate has already over-used them without resorting to them on Atlantis.

Don't know what to think about last nights episode, seemed a bit clunky... Elizabeth out Sam in. All fell into place for the rest of the season though. Sam being full Colonel now, supersedes Sheppard mmm.. wonder who'll be in charge now...etc..

Looking forward to seeing Rodney getting thoroughly wound up by Sam's superior intellect

Also, definitely preferred Sam with short hair

Do we need to use spoiler tags when it says spoilers in the title ? Never sure about this

no tags needed, its to discuss what was just shown.

I liked the episode, it was fun, and tense and liked the fake memory elizabeth used, not that the 2 baffoons got far, but now she been caught by the replicators, its like when Picard was assimilated by the Borg.

Sam?, nah it either Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite), Teyla Emmagan (cant stop looking at her stomach ) (Rachel Luttrell)

Thanks for the tagging info !

Agree there were some good points to it, just some of the plot was a bit convenient. There are some similarities to the TNG plot, i'm sure Elizabeth will turn up again.

Teyla's midrif is world class mind

Enjoyed this weeks episode, always good to see Teal'c.

Will be intresting to see what happens with the replicators now as it looks like they are totally ignoring the humans now.

if anyone has this one recorded 'Reunion', the first time they enter the wraith lab, they shoot a wraith in the chest, it was so a puppet! ,
you could see a wire they pulled so it fell forward hard as it slammed into a wall.

Nice to Mark Dacascos (Drive. 1997) who played Tyre one of Ronon's buddies, putting his martial arts into practice, and his acting skils.

Thank you, I couldn't place what I had seen him in before and I forgot to look it up

[Bald Monkey]

I've Enjoyed all of Atlantis overall, and the new series looks like it will be even better.. But personally I thought last weeks episode was a bit of a let down, very predictable and I just felt like I'd seen it all before.. Oh well it'll soon be Tuesday again

After watching the repeats of DS9 on Virgin 1, it's amazing how much the quality has improved over the years..

Agree on sam looking better with short hair too

Killjoy !

Not a bad episode, bit predictable though. Don't know if I'll ever warm to Ronon

I was even hoping he would get iced and teal'c would take his place in the team with him being at a loose end

please dont tell me she's having a wraith baby , or is it a little Mckay , ok dont say anything - i look forward to her expanding pot , at least there is going to be season 5

[Bald Monkey]

More likely a baby Ronan IMO they do seem to enjoy beating each other up... it's a fine line between pleasure and pain... apparently

I'm missing Elizabeth myself... just deosn't seem the same without her..

I also thought it was great to see Mark Dacascos (Crying Freeman, Drive, Brotherhood of the wolf) giving Ronon some real competition, it's a pity they couldn't have spent more time on that particular fight sequence... Although who knows he could appear again in a later episode! Fingers crossed .

I have to admit I'm surprised you guys like Carter's hair short, it looks so much better now that its growing and in my opinion she looks a lot more attractive with it longer.

Going back to the second episode I'm glad to see the back of Elizabeth from the main cast, Although it's obvious she will return in at least one more episode. Bringing in Sam was a great choice to replace her but what I'm wondering is will she be going through the gate each week leaving Atlantis without a leader?

I hope the series gets better because it's been pretty mediocre so far .

By the way Stargate Atlantis has already been given the green light for season five.

Edit: I didn't see there was a second page before posting.

[Rochdale]

I've got to say that I think this series so far as been rather dull. This weeks "oh noes an ebil crystal dream monster!!" thing was rubbish and the other episodes have been predictable. It doesn't feel like Carter is fitting into it either.

[Bald Monkey]

Give it chance, they might getting the weaker episodes out of the way, or doing some ground work for future ones?? I agree though that this series so far isn't as strong as the end of the last series IMO.

[dr_mabuse]

I thought yesterday's ep was a bit dull to be honest - only plus point for me was more Jewel Staite (hope she gets a decent recurring role throughout this series)

Looking forward to better eps upcoming (fingers crossed) as SA is one of the two progs I've got on automatic record - Strutter is the other!

[Simon_143]

I thought the last episode was quite dull, the balance seems to be a little out with Carter coming in, hopefully things will get better as this season progresses.

At little dull, but i enjoyed it, it gave the characters a little R&R from the wraith and computer people, like having nightmares and dying isnt bad enough The fight between shephard and shephard was good. And JS is easier on the eyes than the scot with big hair, RIP.

Did'nt the writers say it was possible to bring him back onto the show?



found it;

"Stargate Atlantis" fans wanted it, and thus it shall be. At least for two episodes.

Dr. Carson Beckett (played by Paul McGillion) will be back for two installments of the Sci Fi Channel show. The fourth season begins Sept. 28.

Sci Fi Channel made the announcement Wednesday with this cryptic sentence that the reports of Beckett's demise "have been greatly exaggerated ... or have they?"

That's a shrewd way to tease fans. And there's more from Sci Fi: "It was the fan cry heard 'round the Pegasus galaxy when Dr. Beckett was unexpectedly killed in an explosion at the end of season 3. His return to Atlantis promises to be every bit at shocking."

Make of that what you will. But it's a way to keep fans talking.

Sci Fi Channel said the series also will feature guest appearances by Torri Higginson and Christopher Judge.

Best Episode so far of the new series last night IMO.

New Good guys / Bad guys , new eye candy and plenty of action..

Am I the only one who's really frustrated that they keep almost getting an Ancient warship... It's really starting to annoy me.
I wish the writers would just give them one and get it over with... Last nights episode although good was just really frustrating. Yet another warship slips through their fingers and they just sit there looking gormless.

Anyhow good episode.

Looks like we'll be seeing those people again, and no doubt we'll see the warship in action, probably in the last couple of episodes in a joint strike against the wraith or replicators.. or sumit

Oh and was that wraith the wimpiest wraith ever??

[Simon_143]

Thought it was just another so so episode. I think the whole 2 people on an empty starship has been done in just about every sci-fi programme before, and in most of them a lot better.

If its that easy to reverse engineer Atlantean technology to enable people without the gene to use it, why hasn't Rodney or any of the other countless scientist from earth not come up with the idea.

And giving the Wraith the ability to reverse the feeding process just make's them seem weak and half the enemy they used to be.

I still enjoy Atlantis but wish they would come up with some new story lines, most of them seem like rehashes of previous SG1 scripts.

[raigraphixs]

It was ok, the wraith always make it erie, some nice lines

other ship captain woman to shepard;
'just dont shoot too early, i bet thats not the first time you heard that from a woman'


shepard pointing his gun at the wraith;
'see you just fed, so your re-generation powers are at their highest, but i doubt you can grow another head'



.

[raigraphixs]

Tonight ep was interesting when a virus takes over Atlantis which caused widespread memory loss and confusion. The whole show had a dark tone, when it all started out in good intention getting everyone into the mess hall, but as the soldiers got more confused by popping pills by the hand full the situation got out of hand very quickly.


Doc to Rodney 'i dont know what relevance you having a tingling sensation in your knees, considering your the only one to have it'


.

[Simon_143]

Slightly better episode tonight was quite dark with the soliders rounding everyone up and everyone else losing thier memory, but again it was nothing new and you knew how it was going to finish up long before it did. This season needs something to kick it into life as its been very sci-fi by the book so far.

Either that or I have just watched far too many sci-fi shows/films

[badkarma]

Thought i'd resurrect this thread after last nights ep and the Christmas break.

Thought ep was good, best of the S4 so far. Good to see Sam finding her balls at the beginning

The Colonel, Colonel, Colonel, Colonel bit at the start was priceless too

Looks like Elizabeth could be in it a bit more too

Could see that story going the same way as replicator Sam though.
