Rewatch: Hot Zone

[twinsarein.livejournal.com]

McKay, Zelenka and Ford and a team of scientists are inspecting a section of the city flooded during the storm, but everything appears to be just fine. When they plan to return, two team members are missing. Over the radio they seem to be frightened by something and are found dead. The team suspects a virus and a city-wide quarantine is set in place. Then one of the other team members collapses. A scientist named Peterson is frightened by the prospect and manages to escape, risking infection to the entire city. Sheppard is forced to defy Weir's orders and goes after him with Teyla. Meanwhile the infected team discovers a viral lab. It is soon found out the virus causes hallucinations and certain death by forming an aneurysm. McKay realizes he is one of the next to go.  [Poll #1773125]

And, back in the room with broken containment vessels (oops), Rodney is telling Liz about something that's a "little troubling". Only a bit.

Uh-oh. It's major go-crazy time in the viral lab. Dumais's dead and Peterson has gone for a wee bit of a jog.

Ah, a walk through ubiquitous Atlantis corridor that I believe is also used when they film John's quarters and other locales.

Now – see – that's why it's not a good idea to hire all these geniuses. Peterson jigged that bulkhead control panel much too easily. Right?

Well, I guess Liz's diplomacy doesn't work on an infected scientist. It's also scary-cool to watch the progress on the life signs display.

Uh ... Bates sure doesn't look too thrilled watching.

Eeeeeee. Rodney's sensing ... something.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... er training room.... Hee. Bates in a tug of war between John and Liz. Okay, round 1 goes to John.

Hmmm. Autopsy central reminds me of the plastic shrouds in the makeshift OR when E.T. was dying. [Interesting to see how certain scenes evoke memories.]

Oh, my. Dr. Biro is really chatty when it comes to dead people. And there's that distinctive whine of a bone-cutting saw.

See Teyla comparing John to Liz. And that they's too alike.

And then this ominous silence 'cuz Liz isn't answering John's question.

More of Peterson getting spooked and isn't it weird how he can slide through such narrow openings?

Uh-oh. Rodney just showed he's infected. And the other guy (uh, Hays), too. And Carson's eyes just flick back and forth as if at a tennis match. Another major uh-oh moment when Rodney realizes he's a dead man. Poor baby.

Autopsy central reminds me of the plastic shrouds in the makeshift OR when E.T. was dying. Ha, you're right! Even down to people being in hazmat suits, although the color was different.
