Stargate SG1 and Atlantis-Anyone else watching

[Guest]

[Wendi]

I totally agree with the Sam / Jack situation.  If they had just married either one off or let Jack retire so they could get together it would have been so much better.  I would love to know if it is really true that two officers can't marry each other - I am pretty sure they can in the Royal Airforce 

I got tired of the directors giving us these forced scenes between Sam/Jack to show us they loved each other. A good example is the scene from "Evolution, pt.2" when Jack comes into Sam's office and tells her he has to go rescue Daniel. If you noticed they turned the lights in her office really low and they had this mood music going off in the background then to top it off they had Tapping give her doe eyed expression so we the audience know that this is a dramatic and loving moment between the two characters  If  they wanted to convince me these 2 people had feelings for each other they would have done it without dimming the lights, adding music and making Sam look longingly into Jack's eyes  I was a little sad at that scene because the way it came across to me was that Jack had to go save the pesky archealogist rather then be with the one he loved, but that was just my interpertation 

They should have just got married or together like you said back in season 5 then we could have had some great SG1 stories in season 7 and 8 instead of the doomed relationship with Pete and Sam. "Chimera" had the potential to be one of the best episodes of SG1 to me because of the Osiris storyline but instead we got Sam falling in love with the doomed Pete 

I am not in the military but I know some people who are or were in it and they have told me that it is against the regulations to date someone under your chain of command.

Far be it from me to stifle a creative writer.  If you think you will explode and suffer severe emotional trauma unless you share all the gossip then go ahead    Pleeeaaase   

I would love to share the gossip with you and I was wondering of you wouldn't mind returning the favor when you get the new episodes before me please 

Oh and for the record I am not overly enthused by Jack going to Atlantis.  When he first dropped out I thought the show was finished but as you say I don't really miss him now

I just hope when Jack goes he is the professional soldier of seasons 1-3 and not the clown of 4-8 that he became  I still have reservations about him Guest starring on SG1 let alone Atlantis

I might be persuaded to give away a tit bit or two

I might be persuaded to give away a tit bit or two 

Thanks 

I have a little bit more spoiler details for one of the episodes Richard Dean Anderson is supposed to Guest star in on Stargate Atlantis if your interested


He is supposed to be in the mid season 2 part episode "The Return" written by Martin Gero (My favorite SGA writer  ). Him and Woolsey come to Atlantis due to The Asurans, they are supposed to be a race of powerful artificial lifeforms who were created by the Ancients thousands of years ago. They are made up of trillions of microscopic nanites, and their abilities lead the team to believe that they are the original technology on which the human-form Replicators were later based.

I am not sure I like the sound of that    It is all a bit of a coincidence.  I thought the human replicators only came into existence after the 'spider' ones encountered SG1.  I certainly never got the impression they had been around for maybe hundreds of years.  Did Thor know about them?  I thought he was just as shocked about their existence as everyone else.  It just seems a bit odd that the replicators discovered the Asurans at the same time as the crew of Atlantis.  Still it will probably be a great episode - at this stage any new episode will be a great episode 

Thanks for the info

We learned that the character Reese created the replicators back in the season 5 episode "Menace", so I figured that maybe Reese's creator was an Ancient and that's how we get the replicators or Asurans for the Atlantis episode.I was wondering when they would get back to the nanite story that started in "Hot Zone" anyway and I guess this is it.

I don't think Thor ever new where the Replicators came from when they invaded his homeland so I guess we are going to find out in season 3 of Atlantis. I have mixed feelings about this episode not only because RDA possibly taking one of my favorite characters storyline time, but also because I never was really a big fan of the Replicator storyline on SG1. The only one I really liked was "Menace" and that was because the Reese character made me feel for her. I couldn't stand Fifth and his crew in season 6 and season 8 just made me happy when they finally killed him off and don't even get me started on the fiasco of RepliCarter 

I am so excited about new episodes also because I am really starting to wear out my Atlantis DVD's and some of my SG1 DVD's 

I am really hoping that the DVD's for season 2 of Atlantis and season 9 of SG1 come out in the summer because I want to see them all again and I really lovethe Commentaries they give you. I am really hoping for a commentary on the episodes "Grace Under Pressure",  "Duet","Trinity","The Lost Boys" and "The Hive"     The best episodes of season 2  in my opinion of course

[Wendi]

It was finally here, the premieres of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis, YIPPEEE!!!!! They were awesome and I am so excited for next weeks episodes 

Spoilers (just in case someone doesn't want to know what happened  )

STARGATE SG1

Can I just say WOW 

The title of the episode was  "Flesh and Blood"  and was a contuation to the cliff hanger from season 9's "Camelot". It starts off with Vala giving birth to her miracle child. We find out throughout the episode that Vala's daughter Adria is a genetically engineered human form of Ori and was sent to our Galaxy to spread the word of Origin and kill anyone who doesn't believe. She ages from a baby to I believe a 12 year old throughout the episode and Vala tells SG-1 that she will be full grown in a matter of days.

Mitchell saves Carter from outerspace and then they save Teal'c from the Lucian Alliance. Daniel meanwhile rings himself unto a Ori ship (which happens to be the one Vala is on) right before the Russian ship he was on blows up. Him and Vala try to kidnap Adria to turn her on their side but end up failing. They are about to be killed by an Priior when the rest of SG1 beam them out onto the Odyssey.

I loved this episode and thought it was just as good as the season 9 preimeres  Next weeks episode looks just as exciting because the SG1 team get exposed to a virus and have to stay awake or they will sleep forever.

Now onto:

STARGATE ATLANTIS

Yet another WOW from me 

The title of this episode was "No Man's Land" and was a contuation of season 2' cliffhanger "Allies". We see Sheppard latched onto a Wraith Hive ship and taken along for the ride to earth. Ronon and McKay are stuck in their own cocoons on the ship and Ronon finally gets a knife through it and they escape. Michael (the once human Wraith thanks to Beckett in season 2) decides to help Sheppard destroy the Wraith ship so they can't invade earth. Meanwhile Weir is being reprimanded at Stargate Command by Woolsey for some of her decisions in season 2. Back on the Hive Ship Rodney, Sheppard, Ronon and Michael have to find a way together to destroy the  ship before it is to late and it reaches earth and it's new feeding ground.

I found the most fun scenes to watch were onboard the Wraith ship but the scenes at Stargate Command were interesting also becuase I also felt some of Weir's decisions in season 2 were a bit questionable so all in all I loved it. I found that a lot of the dialogue was hilarious  Some of the best quotes in this episode were;

Sheppard: "'Operation: This Will Most Likely End Badly' is a go."
McKay: "I suppose I'd rather die as a hero than as a meal." 
McKay:  (in regards to the Hive ship knowing the location to earth) "They downloaded something along with the Hive ship plan.  Something like spyware, like when I stupidly downloaded porn-- music! When I downloaded music!"

These are just some of the fun lines throughout the episode  The only problem I had with this episode was the ending and that was the "To Be Continued" line...GRRR!!! Only 5 more days until the conclusion 

[Sharon]

Thank you    Keep talking, I'm listening 

[Wendi]

As long as you keep listening I will definitely keep talking 

[Wendi]

I didn't think their would be two great episodes in a row but boy was I wrong. This episode was even better to me then last weeks premiere 

The title of this one is "Morpheus"

It starts out with Mitchell, Vala and Sam in the Gate room awaiting Tealc's return from reporting about the Ori invasion on our galaxy. It then goes into the hallway were Daniel runs into them announcing that he found a Gate address left by Morgan LeFay. I cracked up during the one scene in this part because when Daniel came running to them in the hall he started talking really fast about what he found and spouting out names they never heard of. Sam looked at Mitchell and stated "and you say that I am hard to undersatand", it was funny.

They decide to go to the gate address to check it out.I did love that before they went Daniel went to Landry to give him a convincing case on why Vala should be a part of the SGC. Her story was sweet and hilarious at times because thanks to Daniel talking to Landry, Landry decided to give her a chance. She had to go under a evaluation by a Pychiatrist and let me say this was fun to watch  Their are a lot of really great scenes throughout this episode and another really great one was between Daniel and Vala right before he left through the gate. If you are like me and love the Daniel/Vala dynamic then you will love this.

When they finally get to the deserted address they find the body of 2 people sleeping on a bed. You eventaully find out that what infected this society is starting to affect the members of the team when they start falling asleep one by one. The only problem is if they don't find a cure then the bug that is affecting them will slowly kill them. They had some really great scenes between Teal'c/Mitchell in a cave and Daniel/Sam in the building. I missed these team episodes so this one really made me happy. I don't want to give to much else away but when they finally do get cured and are back on base their is a really great scene in the gateroom with Vala,Landr,Daniel,Mitchell,Sam,Teal'c and Woolsey (that's Robert Picardo's character in case you forgot). It involved on whether or not Vala was now a member of the SGC. All in all this episode will defintely be among one of my favorites for season 10 and I hope next week's is just as good or even better.

They go to Atlantis next week in the "Pegasus Project" WOO HOO!!! A double dose of Rodney McKay...I am very happy 

Now onto Stargate Atlantis 

The episode title was "The Misbegotten"

This episode was about what to do with the 200 Wraith that they gave the Virus to that Beckett made back in season 2 that turned them all human. Also they had to decide what to do with Michael, the wraith they started this experiment on back in the season 2 episode "Micheal". Also Weir has to defend herself against losing her post as the leader to the Atlantis project to the I.O.A. Woolsey(Robert Picardo) is in this episode also and he is the one who has to evaluate her.

This episode was good and it was interesting to see what they would do with the human Wraith but this episode was not nearly as good as the SG1 episode at least to me. I loved the McKay/Sheppard moments but then again I always do  I liked that they had to deal with the reprocussions in their actions from season 2 and I also liked that Beckett may have finally seen what he did back in season 2 was maybe not the right way to go about dealing with the Wraith.

It was interesting and it ws fun to watch them deal with having a Hive ship at least for the little while they did have it. 

All in all it was a fun Friday night yet again and I can't wait until next Friday for the next two episodes 

[Sharon]

I did love that before they went Daniel went to Landry to give him a convincing case on why Vala should be a part of the SGC

So does this mean that Daniel really likes Vala now?  And if so how much 

[Wendi]

So does this mean that Daniel really likes Vala now?  And if so how much

To tell you the truth as much as I hate romances on this show because the writers suck at writing it convincingly, this is one that they actually could do that I would believe.

I love watching these two act together because they are so much fun and they have some really great moments. I will never forget how great the scene was in the season 9 episode "Avalon,pt.2". The scene were she is being burned alive and the moments around it were some of my favorite Daniel/Vala scenes.

I guess to answer your question, I don't know if he likes her but it seems like a nice friendship is growing between the two. One of my favorite moments with Vala in the episode on Friday was when she told the Pychiatrist that she is doing this because someone finally believed in her and you can tell that someone she was talking about is Daniel 

My biggest fear would be for the writers to put it in their head to try and put Mitchell and Vala together since they were together in Farscape as John and Ayron. I will be really  if they even try and go that route. I prefer that the team just remain friends but if their must be a romance at least let it finally be with a more believable couple.

[Sharon]

Well if Daniel and Vala do get together I hope they just have a huge, mad, passionate affair.  None of this skirting around the issue for 20 episodes - been there done that with Sam and Jack.  I am with you in not wanting a Mitchell / Vala pairing.  So far the writers have done a very good job of keeping the characters a very long way away from Farscape (apart from a couple of little snippets which are just cute ).

[Wendi]

I couldn't agree with you more on getting the affair going if that's the route the writers want to take  Sam and Jack have been unconvincingly skirting around the edges of their so called romance for me since season 4's episode "Fair Game" ( you don't even want to get me started on how much I hate that episode  ).

I just found out that when the show goes on hiatus in September I will have to wait until March to get the second half of the season on Sci Fi  They usually have you wait at least 4 months but now it will be 6 whole months until I see the second half of each show. I will just have to look forward to your spoilers like you do with me 

I am however excited about this weeks episode of SG1 and Atlantis because McKay will be in both of them 

[Sharon]

That's madness, taking the shows off air for six months    If they did that in the UK they would lose the audience, heck we complain if it is dropped for one week for football 

[Wendi]

I am hoping that Sci Fi is listening to all the negative feedback about a six month hiatus and change their minds but only time will tell 

I just finished watching Stargate Atlantis and I am ready to give you my weekly report on both shows. We had a really big Yard Sale this weekend so I barely had time to watch SG1 on Saturday and I finally got to finish Atlantis today. I hate Yard Sales because their is to way to much work involved for so little gain  Well onto more happier and exciting things 

I didn't think SG1 could do it three weeks in a row for me but they did. I have to say again WOW this was an amazing episode and now I can't decide which one I like more, this weeks or last weeks it's a toss up 

The episode was called "The Pegasus Project"

It starts out with Mitchell, Vala and Daniel in the mess hall on the Odyssey, Daniel is sleeping at the table due to staying up all night from excitement about finally getting to go to Atlantis. The poor guy has been trying forever and now he finally has his wish coming true  ;DI loved when Mitchell took a leaf like thing to his ear and said "Good morning sunshine"  so he could wake up in time to see the Odyssey approach Atlantis.

When they finally get to Atlantis they are in the briefing room with Rodney, Weir and Sheppard. Sam is showing them their plan on taking a Stargate to a Black hole in the Pegasus Galaxy and shooting nuclear warheads through the blackhole into the Supergate in the Milky Way Galaxy that will hopefully cause the Ori Stargate to establish a continuous Wormhole from the Pegasus Galaxy and that will prevent anymore Ori ships to come to the Milky Way Galaxy. Rodney gets to go along on the Odyssey with Sam and Mitchell while Daniel and Vala stay on Atlantis to find out some information on Merlin's secret weapon that can destroy ancients. I just loved Rodney in this episode but I am not sure I like how he was treated a few times in it, but David did a great job anyway  The joke with the lemon was hilarious however 

Meanwhile back at Atlantis Daniel got to talk to an ancient names Morgan le Fay who gave him two Gate addresses he needed to help them find were Merlin may have hid his secret weapon. Vala was great with Daniel and I laughed when she asked him if they could basically look for some loot on Atlantis first before they got to work, her and Daniel make a really great team. I loved how he finally let the Ancients know how he felt about their non interference rules especially concerning the Ori.

Rodney and Sam do finally manage to get a wormhole established by blowing up a Wraith ship but my question is this...Now that they have a continuous Wormhole from the Pegasus Galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy because the gate they put at the blackhole is also working now, How do they prevent the Wraith from finding it and going through? I guess this maybe something the writers didn't care to dwell on or I am just a nitpicker about certain details   

I do love that Daniel finally got to go to Atlantis after trying for the last 2 years and I love it that he got to talk to an Ancient that actually remembered him when he was ascended 

It was a really great episode and their are so many lines I love in this episode that I will remember 

Daniel: (In regards to a hologram he was getting information from on Atlantis)" I think I had her in the fifth grade" 
Sheppard: (About Rodney interrupting Sam during the meeting): "If he speaks again I will shoot him"
McKay: (after interrupting again)" Don't shoot me you know I can't help myself" 
Miitchell's Danny's Disneyland comment in regards to Daniel in Atlantis 

  All in all a really great episode and twice as fun with both Daniel and Rodney in it 

Now onto Stargate Atlantis 

I have to say that this episode while fun was also not as good as SG1's episode again for the third week in a row. I loved Rodney and Sheppard in this one but when do I not love McKay 

It starts off with the tema trying to find enough Gates in space around abandoned planets so they can collect them and make a line up of gates from the Pegasus Galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy. They run across a village on the planet were everyone basically worships one of the villagers named Lucius Lavin.

You later find out after Beckett bring Lucius to Atlantis that he takes a special herb that makes everyone fall for him and do everything he says. McKay and Sheppard don't get affected with the rest of the Atlanteans because they were out looking for some gates they could use for their plan. When they return they see everyone acting strange and falling at their feet to worship Lucius. Sheppard gets Rodney to test a vile that Rodney found in Lucius room to find out if that is the cause of everyone's strange behavior. When Rodney tells him he needs a little more to sample since the vile didn't have enough Sheppard decides to go back to the village that Lucius came from to get some. When he gets at the village he see's that the villager's are all sick since Lucius left them but when he returns to Atlantis he see's that McKay is now also infected with whatever is affecting the others.

He later kidnaps Beckett and takes him to the Mainland so he can get him away from Lucius and whatever is affecting him to act the way he is. They do eventually find the cure and get rid of Lucius but you have to see the episode to see how wacky they act when he is around especially McKay and Beckett 

I did love the end however when Sheppard was picking on Beckett and Weir on their worshipping of Lucius  but the best part was when he took off stating he had to clean Rodneys room before their next mission. Rodney admits to taking a tiny bit of the herb and that's why Sheppard is going to clean his room  It was very funny 

Again this epsiode was good but I am hoping to eventually get an episode that really stands out like last years episodes "Grace Under Pressure", "Trinity", "Duet", "Aurora", "The Lost Boys", "The Hive"  "Coup D'etat" . Thank goodness this is only the third episode in and that their is 17 more to go to get their 
 

[Wendi]

Hi and sorry I took so long to give you an overview on the last two weeks episodes  Things have been hectic at home this last two weeks but anyway on with some short reviews of the last 4 episodes that have been aired on Sci Fi 

I will do SG1 first:
Week of August 4 "Insiders"

This is the first episode of SG1 that I didn't really care for as much as the last few. The first thing that got me was all the Baals, I don't really care for this character and the Ori make Baal seem like a bad joke anymore anyway and you don't even want to get me started on how he dresses. Okay on with the sneek peak for you: The SGC ends up finding a lot of Baals all over and take them back to the SGC for interrogation on what they want on earth. They all later escape and threaton to kill Agent Barret who is visiting the SGC if Carter who they also caught doesn't give them the Stargate addresses that Jack got them when he was downloaded with the ancients knowledge back in season 2 (I think). She stupidly (my opinion) hands over the information instead of giving them some false addresses like they did with the Aschen in season 5. It ends with the Baals escaping and now it's a race against time to find Merlin's secret weapon before the real Baal does. All in all this episode was a real disapointment for me.

Week 2 August 11 "Uninvited"

Now this episode I liked if not just for the fact that we got to see Landry and Mitchell up at Jack's cabin relaxing before they find out that their are bounty hunters after the team. Sam, Vala and tealc are back at the SGC fighting their own bounty hunters before they were able to join the others up at the cabin themselves. Landry and Vala were a lot of fun to watch in this episode  You also find out that their are strange creatures out their killing people and some of them have made it to earth and Landry and Mitchell have to stop them. I loved the end of this with the poker game also. All in all this was a much better episode then last weeks.

This week will be the "200th" episode and I am a little worried because Martin Lloyd will be in it and I didn't care about him the last two times this character appeared on the show. We shall see though 

Now on to Atlantis:
Week 1 August 4 "Sateda"

This episode was about Ronon being given back to the wraith when some villagers saw him and identified him as a wraith runner. They had a lot of action with showing Ronon trying to escape him plus we saw a glimpse of his past and hpw he became a runner in the first place. The thing that actually saved this episode for me though was the team moments between McKay, Sheppard, Teyla and Beckett on their way to save Ronon from the Wraith. I loved the mess hall scene with Teyla and Sheppard because it was a sweet friendship moment between the two and let you see a little bit of how John feels about the others. I also loved the scenes between Beckett and McKay in the infirmary especially after Beckett gave McKay a little to much morphine  This episode had a lot of bonding moments when it wasn't interupted by Ronon and his running so all in all I enjoyed it and will say that it was better then I thought it would be.

Week 2 "Progeny"

This is the episode were we meet the new bad guys. They are like the Replicators in the Milky Way galaxy but they are actually Nanites that evolved to look like their creators who happen to have been the ancients. Our team goes to their planet to gain allies only to discover that they don't live on a planet but in an exact replica of Atlantis only much much bigger. They are taken as prisoners and interrogated by the human nanites to find out the location of the actual Atlantis. You find out that they want to destroy Atlantis because they are mad at their creators for trying to destroy them. The team does eventually stop them but they haven't destroyed them all so I have a feeling these guys will be back in the near future. I felt bad for the one human nanite named Liam because he did try to help them. All in all this episode was a good one but I am not sure yet if I care for the new bad guys or not because I wasn't really a big fan of the replicators when they were on SG1.

Again sorry it took so long for this and I will try and do better in the future especially if I want you to give me some reviews when you get the second half of the seasons before me 

[m.o.b.]

Looks like this is the last series for Stargate SG-1

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=37607

[Wendi]

Looks like this is the last series for Stargate SG-1

Yes, sad to say that their will be no more Stargate SG1 episodes after the 10th season finishes. I wish we would have at least gotten one more season, but I am happy to get the seasons we did get because after all the show was supposed to be cancelled countless of times since season 5 ended on Showtime. I am also very happy that I got my favorite character back (Daniel Jackson) before the show actually did end so thanks Sci Fi and MGM for that at least  I will hope for a mini series or maybe even a Stargate movie in the future as long as it has the characters I have comed to love in the series. I also think it is a shame the show was cancelled because I have been enjoying season 9 and 10 as much as I did the first few seasons of SG1.

Their is good news however and I have my fingers crossed that Sci Fi keeps their word on it after the fiasco with Farscape. The good news is that Stargate Atlantis has been renewed for a season 4. While I will miss watching both shows together next year I am grateful that at least one Stargate will still be on.

As for my reviews of the shows I will come back after this weeks episode are over and come on and do them. I just have this to say about the 200th episode of SG1, it was fantastic and it had me in stitches it was so funny 

So long Stargate SG1 you will be greatly missed 

[Wendi]

I just wanted to apologize again for taking so long on these reviews  It has been a rather hectic month for my family and me  They didn't have any Stargate episodes on this Labor Day weekend but instead they had a marathon of Viewer Choice episodes of SG1. I thought I would Post my reviews for the four episodes I did see and haven't been on to review yet so here it goes:

Before I start my reviews I wanted to let you know that if you didn't already know that they said that the UK will be getting season 10 of Stargate SG1 and season 3 of Stargate Atlantis on October 18th according to Gateworld news 

-Season Ten of Stargate SG-1 and Season Three of Stargate Atlantis will finally kick off in the United Kingdom on October 18, broadcaster Sky One has announced.-

Brand new episodes of SG-1 will air Wednesdays at 8 p.m., followed by new episodes of Atlantis at 9 p.m.

I will start again with both the SG1 episodes-

1st Episode of Stargate SG1 "200"

This episode was called "200" because of course it was the 200th episode of SG1. I was worried about this episode at first because I hated the 100th episode "Wormhole Extreme" with a passion. The 200th episode however was great and a real treat to watch because it was absoultely hilarious. The only problem with it is some of the jokes are in jokes between the fans and the show people so new viewers may get a little confused. I know understand why Brad Wright called it a Kiss to the fans of SG1  You will just have to see this episode to believe it but lets just say it had "Wizard of Oz", "Farscape", "Star Trek", the furlings, puppets and I could just go on  This episode also had a Special Guest star that the fans will love seeing again and I defintely don't mean the guy who played Martin Lloyd in the 100th episode All in all this was a very enjoyable and fun episode to watch.

2nd Episode of Stargate SG1 "Counterstrike"

I have to admit it but after the 200th episode was over it was nice getting back to the Ori story again the week after. We got to meet Adria, Vala's daughter fully grown and played by Morena Baccarin from "Firefly" and I just want to say she did an excellent job as the leader of the Ori in the Milky Way Galaxy. This episode was also the end for Dakara and a lot of the Jaffa also but it was their own fault because they started attacking the Ori and a lot of innocent people that the Ori captured on Ori conquered planets. I love the team feel to this episode and I loved how Adria said that she had plans for Daniel  This episode was really good and I can't wait to see what happens next with Adria and the SG1 team 

Next weeks episode is "Memento Mori" and it involves Vala getting kidnapped by the Trust while out to dinner with Daniel and the team has to get her back 

Now onto Stargate Atlantis 

1st Episode of Staragte Atlantis "The Real World"

This episode was alright and if you are a big Weir fan then you will really enjoy it. It dealt with her being infected by a virus and causing her to think that Atlantis is a figment of her profoundly stressed imagination. The last two years of her life as she remembers them never happened according to her psychiatrist Dr. Fletcherand her hallucination of Atlantis was caused by a car accident which killed her fiance, Simon Wallace, which lead to her having post traumatic stress. She has also been suffering delusional psychosis triggered by the stress of negotiating a nuclear non-proliferation treaty also so she ends up in a Hospital in Washington due to all her problems. The problem is she has to try and figure at fact from fiction before it's to late.

2nd Episode of Stargate Atlantis "Common Ground"

This episode was just shocking and well written. I loved the concern everyone showed for Sheppard and I loved having Kolya back even though he was twice as bad as he has ever been. This episode starts off with Sheppard being captured by Koyla in an attemp for him to get leadership of the Genii with the crew of Atlantis's help. You see a really dark side of him when he keeps having a Wraith suck more and more of Sheppard's life away until Weir offers to help him. The race is on to find Sheppard before the Wraith kills him but also to stop Koyla. As I said earlier I love watching the teams concern over their friend who was in danger. You also get to learn a new thing about the Wraith which is pretty interesting 

Next weeks episode of Stargate Atlantis is "McKay and Mrs.Miller" I am really really excited about this episode because not only is it about McKay but it also has David Hewlett's real life sister Kate Hewlett playing McKay's sister on the show. I am sooooo excited to see this one 

[Sharon]

WooHoo    Only about 6 weeks to go 

Thanks for posting these reviews Wendi.  There is just enough info to make me want to watch the episodes but not enough to spoil them

Can I just say, and I say this in all seriousness, how could you not love Wormhole Extreme  .  Please note I am not even acknowledging that you hated it, just that you didn't love it  .  Well if I thought that WE was brilliant I can't wait to see 200, it must be amazing 

And an episode called McKay and Mrs Miller, well the title just makes you want to watch it
