We're back to our
weekly rewatch! I hope everyone had an excellent holiday. This week's episode is the conclusion to our mid-season finale:
The Eye! The Genii are in control of Atlantis, Elizabeth and Rodney are hostages, and John alone in the fight against the intruders, since Teyla, Ford, and Carson are trapped on the mainland. A pretty intense episode.
Feel free to leave your comments below, be they meta, fic, or just some random observations. As always, be kind to one another, and most of all: enjoy!

Why are they so officer light? The SGC KNOWS that nothing goes as planned offworld. Or at least Jack would have known. You'd think he'd know better than to send just a Colonel and lieutenant - with John a last minute addition.
I have no strong feelings about Sora one way or another, though I do wish they could have shown the time she was on Atlantis. Or even mention her later on, once she'd been back with the Genii. What was she doing? Did Ladon demote her when he took over? Maybe she had an obligation to continue the family line and was married off...hmmm.

The lack of officers in the expedition is perplexing considering the SGC is not new to this!!!

RIGHT? The only thing I can think of is the IOA insisted this was a SCIENCE expedition, not a military one, so an officer heavy expedition isn't necessary. We all know the IOA makes dumb decisions.
