    I don't know what to think about the episode. I kinda was hoping that it lasted longer than it did. I wanted to hear what the SGC says about the Atlantis team. Hopefully we will find out in the next episode of Sg-1. The Wraith Ships are so cool looking. And what about Teyla and Shepard. I don't want to see them fighting. I do want to see them kiss and make up.

      This episode was amazing on so many levels. We had to witness up front the true horror of the Wraith...had to watch helplessly. That was deeply terrifying.

      The conflict between Teyla and Sheppard was a very welcome change. People don't always get along and I'm glad they recognized that. Ford actually got to do something, that's a plus. Weir's tribute to the fallen troops (with particular emphasis on Sgt. Markham) was very moving and poignant.

      Rodney was quite funny, and I absolutely loved the Japanese scientist! She was so cute!

      Strange as it may seem, this was one of my favorite episodes. I wouldn't call this a "clip show." It was more of a reflective show that tried to give us a sense of closure on some of the recent occurances, closure I was yearning for.

      Damn I love Atlantis!!

        I agree with most of the others above. I wasn't really looking forward to this one thinking it was a clip show. But I absolutely loved it! One minute I was laughing hysterically, the next crying. Back and forth. And the clips probably only made up 5 minutes of the episode.

        I particularly loved Mckay in this episode. (well he is my favourite character)
        His message was the funniest thing I have seen in ages. (And a bit sad in parts) We got all kinds of little tidbits about his past. Plus the new flashbacks with him during the Japanese scientist's message. Hilarious.

        I loved how we saw all the supporting characters' messages as well. I particularly loved Dr. Beckett's and Zelenka's. And wow do I hate Kavanaugh. I'm glad his character is still around because he is so very fun to hate.

        I also couldn't believe that I really liked both Ford and Teyla in this episode. They both had something to do and I think the actors/writers are becoming comfortable with their characters.

        So this was a very (suprisingly) good episode. I can't wait for the next three episodes. They are going to kick ass.

          This episode was a bit different from the rest of them. In this one the writers seemed to take a bit of a break from the full on action and instead focus on developing the characters further. Its good to see this character development taking place.

            The only good clip show of ANY tv show, was the first Simpson's clip show in series 4. Everyother clip show has sucked, and for sci-fi such as stargate or atlantis, a clip show just means we need to wait 2 weeks to see what happens next, rather than 1 .....

              I'm sorry, but that is such a shallow viewpoint.

              This episode was far more than a simple re-cap. Yes, by it's very nature it covered ground that we already knew about and had seen, but when it comes to clips episodes, this is the best example of one I've ever seen.

              Letters From Pegasus is an episode that rivals some of the best Atlantis episodes to date. It is filled to the brim with drama, hilarious comedy (done mostly by McKay, who is at the top of his game in this ep) and lots of character interaction and development. The continuity is spot on (seeing Cavanaugh was a big surprise) and the clips were almost non-existent and usually done in montage form or with a voice-over covering them. They were far from the "cut to this episodes" that we've seen in previous Stargate clips shows.

              Letters from Pegasus is a truly outstanding episode and is far, far more than a simple clips episode.

                great ep, loved it and i agree not a clip show, i've seen longer "last time on buffy the vampire slayer " and other shows then all the clips in this show together.

                as for the armarda, now that is the start of a war going people! shep said something like "each hive ship acts as a carrier group, with cruizers and hundreds of darts escorting it" after each hive ship fell out of hyperspace, 3 cruizers that looked about 1/4 the size of the hive ship detached from the hive and then with hundreds of darts coming out of them. either way from the looks of them, the could have sent 1 hive ship and it could wipe out a planet. we havn't seen the weaponary or tacticle attributes of the hive groups but if they have something better and more organzied then the little energy balls that come out of the darts they might be able to give the gou'ld and maybe even the asgaurd a run for their money (not that we know much about how asgaurd fight any enemy other the the replicators)

                still i wonder what that blue beam was, i hope we find out that it is something more then the obvius. my first thoughts were some kind of weapon or mass transport. but maybe the writers are better then that and making the wraith smarter and the beam is a way to ensure a planets people are all killed, a way of ensureing diversity of the gene pool or focused breading through out the galaxy moving people from one planet to another?

                as for the fight between tayla and sheppard i loved it, i've heard some one say before if u want an interesting story give each side of the argument a valid point of view something that even if u dont agree u can understand where they are coming from and they did. sure we would love to save everyone (like telya was trying) but we need to think of the bigger picture (sheps argument) made me love both charictors more

                great ep, not a clip show

                  That is such an unbelievably ignorant and stupid opinion.

                  Politics - We got introduced to Kinsey. That's a MAJOR plot line for Stargate.

                  Out of Mind - Ok, that sucked...

                  Disclosure - We got more of Kinsey's storyline, plust he revealing of the Stargate to some major countries, another big plot line for Stargate (the secrecy of it all).

                  Inauguration - We got to mee the new president and got more of Kinsey's storyline and it helped set up the finale (and set up the introduction for Weir).

                  And Letters from Pegasus, it wasn't even a damned clips show!

                    Sorry, i interrupt the discussion, but can anybody tell me, when the season finale will be aired.
                    At the moment the newest episodes come from "movie central" every monday. But will they air "the siege" the week right after "the gift"?
                    or do we have to wait, till another one like Sci-Fi or Sky-One airs this episode?

                      Personally I think they gathered materials for fuel, weapons and other stuff. Having the option to refuel your own carrier group is priceless. Also it would make sense for a race 100% focused on warfare to have this technology.

                        While I'm at it, Teyla's really starting to get on my nerves.
                        I hope on the next clip show, they'll be reminiscing on her funeral service.

                          that sounds better, i didn't think of that. make sence because teyla said she has never seen anything like it before, if it was relication or something they would do it heaps. gathering raw materials they wouldn't need to do as much.

                            This was really a great episode. Much more than I had expected to be.
                            I don´t whether it has been done before, but I´ll give it a try. This is a translation of what Zelenka was saying during the clips from Rising:

                            "We have a fail safe mechanism at the bottom of the sea. A huge energy ripped off the anchor of the city from the bottom of the ocean. We were terrified, that´s what we were. It was unbelievable. What´s happening? And the noise, the entire city was shaking, like by an earthquake. It was something unbelievable and suddenly we are moving. The whole city was rising, it was rising up to the sea level. It was unbelievable and the towers broke the water and we went up and up. Waters, waves, waterfalls, everything dripping down from the heights. We climbed up to the very top of it and suddenly there was the sun, just the sun. It shined to all windows. I won´t forget it till my death."

                            That´s pretty much it. I did my best

                                I think the blue beam was a way to transport all humans up to the hive ship. The darts would fly around and fill up with people, then drop off their cargo to the blue beam to be taken up to a hive ship. Once they were empty the darts would fly around and find more people. Also the ground troops had to get the stragglers up to the ship somehow. Stun them and drag them to the blue beam. Just a guess...
