    Over The Weekend

    FRIDAY

    Stargate Atlantis
    Atlantis fanatics will have to wait until January to see what that
    wicked Wraith chick has planned for Sheppard; the encounters with the
    missing Ancients and Ford's "Lost Boys" left us with plenty to ponder
    till then. As I suspected, that black left eye (and I'm not talking
    about a bruise) of Ford's was a side effect of the Wraith enzyme.
    Perhaps this enzyme plotline is an allegory for the dangers of
    steroid use. It would explain why everyone exposed to it acted like
    Jose Canseco. Ford kindly decided to share his stash, dosing Teyla,
    Ronon and Rodney against their will. Predictably, Rodney freaked
    out: "This is exactly what happened when I toked pot once in
    college!" Teyla and Ronon freaked too, only violently. I suspected
    they were beginning to lose control when they spontaneously began to
    spar at Ford's dinner table. Ford' s portrayer, Rainbow Sun Francks,
    has also developed as an actor. Ford's pining for home tricked
    Sheppard into revealing his planned double-cross. Holding Rodney as a
    hostage, Ford blackmailed Sheppard into flying a Wraith dart ship as
    part of a crackpot commando mission to get inside a Hive vessel and
    blow it up. Most adventure series have the given hand-picked team
    dance around a few dangers and then get away with their target blown
    to smithereenies. Didn't work here, hence Sheppard's encounter with
    said heinous Wraith chick.


    The Aurora tale was a little misleading. It suggested that the team
    ran into Ancients, which they did, but they were of the pre-ascended
    variety. Sheppard had to put himself in stasis to interact with the
    crew, who have been living in a virtual reality environment for
    10,000 years without appearing bored. That must be some program.
    Intrigue was provided by a Wraith that took control of the Aurora's
    first officer. I didn't understand why Rodney just didn't kill it off
    the bat. The only explanation is that Sheppard might have looked like
    a killer in front of the crew. Then again, he could have used the
    computer trickery (literally popping in and out at will) to convince
    the captain he was legit. Either that or made himself look even
    guiltier. Questions give me a headache and cause my nose to run. I've
    noticed that whenever the team comes close to a technology that will
    kill the Wraith, it always seems to slip through their fingers. We
    get the point folks. The denouement was dignified, as Sheppard led a
    toast to the doomed crew, whose ship was destroyed to keep it out of
    the Wraith's clutches. — GJD
