ok, well just watched the episode and it was a big disappointment.

Unrealistic to the point of pulling my hair out.

the new commander comes through with no corresponding mention in sg1, the man seems like an a**hole that o'neil would never put in charge, the written orders are never opened (on screen), his rude demeanor and insistance on finding the alpha site seem suspicious (i'll go into that later), the space mines were a ridiculous idea and doomed to failure from the word go, marines shooting hand held machine guns at the lightning fast darts seems like a waste of ammo and a stupid idea, they'd never hit them.

It all seems a little coincidental that the colonel arrives just in time, brings weapons and orders from oneil (with no mention of any of this in sg1 episodes), the mark II naquata generator is a piece od s**t, the cooperation of the jennai is unrealistic they wouldn't give up their nukes (just look at the US or any other country with nukes) the new jennai commander with no explanation, no daedalus (i'm sure was mentioned in prevoius episodes somewhere sg1 / atlantis) btu not with any decent upgrades or with a mission to atlantis.

Finally he predicaments all the main characters find themselves in and the general nature of the episode speaks to me as a freaky pointless test by the Ancients to see if the humans are worthy of atlantis (too far fetched i know :-(). + WAy too much happened in 1 episode ... the wraith, the jennai, earth, all the plans, and failures, all the sacrifies by main characters ... wierd.

Well aside from all that i can't wait to find out what happens, and i'll reserve formal judgement until the end of sg1 season 8 and the new season of atlantis.

ok i'm a die hard stargate fan so please don't take any of my comments to heart or badly, i'm probably just a little frustrated AT THE CLIFF HANGER. let me know what u thin of any of these issues. + i miss RDA's humour in atlantis, and dr. beckett is my fav character.
