*stares at Atlantis*

Guys? When [livejournal.com profile] nique and I can call the ending of the episode in the first two minutes after missing the teaser? You need to go back to the drawing board and actually write something that wasn't pointless filler.

maybe it's not really that bad. Maybe it was all an intricate plot by the replicators to feed counter-intel to Atlantis. After all, isn't it convienent that just at the end when McKay was about to take a break on the thingy it suddenly starts working and fed the Atlantis team what in Rodney's own words can only be described as bad news. The replicators could have easily gotten the idea from Weir, after all Atlantis used a similar method to track the Wraith in Season 1.

I mean look at the situation. Didn't the whole rAtlantis seem seriously contrived? First of all the gate didn't work, thus preventing that as a method of escape because supposedly the replicators can't build a working gate?!? Secondly, the "attack" is perfectly timed to coincide with when the rTeam is getting ready to escape/flee. Thirdly, isn't it amazingly convenient that rKeller had this thingy stored just below the jumper bay? Fourthly, why didn't the attacking replicators take out the control tower/jumper bays first? Let's not even contemplate how the rTeam managed to sneak off with a replicator ship with a hyperdrive.

It just doesn't add up, unless it was all staged. Either that or this was the worst writing of the entire SG-1/A series.

Well, no. There's still "parasitical virus" to overcome.

Huh? Which "parasitical virus" was that?

I must have missed that plot point. Either that or I blocked it out as too tramatic.

Sorry. Was responding to Either that or this was the worst writing of the entire SG-1/A series.

And the virus (so badly-named) in question was from Broca Divide. Now, you want bad writing? Look no further than large swathes of seasons 1-3....

Plus, why did rShep say "we even fooled ourselves" at the end when they were caught in the crash? Total set-up. It was planned all along.

And the real Lizzie isn't dead!

I'm fifteen minutes in and I'm pretty sure I saw this episode of Voyager. (We'll see.)

Voyager? Yeah I guess so.

My first thought was that I saw this episode of SG-1 before.

Yeah, you'd think that would've occurred to me first. Heh. I think it's the nano-level on which they were supposedly constructed and the slow discovery that pinged Voyager before SG-1.
