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!

Hang on to your hats -- it's a bumpy ride!

Shoot to kill.


Yes, sir. )

The race is on!


John has to get the power turned on before Kolya kills Weir -- again -- and avoid the rest of the Genii in the process.

While he's doing that... )
But then... )

Meanwhile... )

Apologies for the double post today; yesterday, RL was a little too real.

The look on Sheppard's face when Kolya says Weir is still alive...

Sheppard has the gate shield up and Kolya thinks McKay can fix it even though they're out of power, too far away, and he doesn't have John's codes.

Not that McKay would fix it anyway. Sixty more Genii in the city? No, thanks.

While the Genii are off guarding the generators, Sheppard's off guarding the whole city from further invasion.

(Note: This whole scene happened so fast that this turned out to be the only clear cap of Sheppard's sneak attack on the gate room.)

In the race for reinforcements, Sheppard's arrive first.

(Note: Odd, isn't it, that the life signs detector is already on as Ford hands it to Carson? It should be off as Ford doesn't have the gene.)

You know when Sheppard starts wondering "What would McKay do?" things will get a little wild...


There's always a warning sign... )
You sure about this? )

Just up and over!

(I love Carson's McCoy-esque "I'm a doctor, not a bloody pilot!")



And does this little sign read "J2" as in "Jumper 2"?

Weir: Stall, stall, stall! Look, from the sound of it, if we can buy Sheppard enough time, it seems like he can take care of the rest of them on his own.

(Of all people, Weir actually read Sheppard's file. [Rising 1x01] She knows his skill set. McKay must have read it too because they both have complete faith in him. Until Kolya ups the odds and orders a full company as reinforcements...)

The real question: who's hunting whom?

And so the hunt begins.

(I hesitate to anthropomorphize but I wonder if the city felt distressed when the Genii used her systems to find Sheppard? She obviously couldn't stop them. So, is the city not sentient, or did she just not have enough power, or does she not control those systems -- they seem to be secondary or passive systems. Thoughts, anyone?)

Kolya: Weir is dead.

Sheppard (slow and careful): I am going to kill you.

Yeah, and everyone else he can find. Oh, John, the look on your face.

And then he steps in front of a loaded weapon to protect someone else. Oh, Rodney, you selfish bastard! What has Atlantis done to you?

That instant when the shield engages and saves the city from the storm, that very moment we weren't quite sure would happen but did. Oh, all that raw power!

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]

Dr. Brendan Gall, one of the scientists on Atlantis, discovers a Lagrangian point satellite and Sheppard, McKay, Gall and another scientist, Dr. Abrams are sent to investigate. It was used by the Ancients as a last line of defense before Atlantis during the war with the Wraith 10.000 years ago, but it seems to be out of commission. Not long after the team picks up a distress call from a planet nearby. It's coming from a Wraith ship that crashed during the war and the team takes a look. McKay is absolutely convinced no living thing could survive that long, but the team discovers signs of Wraith cannibalism and a storage compartment for humans. McKay begins to doubt his assumption.  Summary from IMDb
