sga_squeeTwo hive ships are still approaching Atlantis and all hope seems lost. Weir orders evacuation and she and Sheppard activate the city's self destruct. Just when McKay tries to dial the address of the evacuation site, the stargate activates from off-world. All of the sudden help from Earth is under way as a certain colonel Everett arrives with reinforcements. Immediately he gets under everybody's skin. He relieves Weir of command, orders her and Sheppard to cancel the self-destruct and get the evacuated people back. He tells Earth has constructed a new intergalactic battle cruiser, the Daedalus, that will arrive in four days, bringing a ZPM. He brought some supplies to defend the city until then, naquadah powered gun turrets and an improved naquadah generator to power the weapons chair. He also deploys some space mines to keep the hive ships at bay. Will it be enough? [Poll #1786650]

Ick, I don't like this new guy. The Colonel. He is condescending to both Elizabeth and John.
Way that John stands up for Elizabeth though. Way to go, big guy. He certainly has his share of hutzpah. I like it. And the colonel actually listens to reason. Which speaks well for him, although his first impression still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I like Rodney's lines about how the military don't need them until the second before things go to hell in a hand basket (paraphrasing *g*).
Another military person against Teyla. There goes the Colonel again, accruing bad points with me. I can understand his caution, but still, there had to be a better way of going about it.
Poor Beckett. That chair is his nemesis.
