"Inquisition" (512) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[PG15]

Writer: Alex Levine
Director: ?

And a new episode title comes off the assembly line, written by none other than our other blogger, Alex Levine. I do believe this is his first script. Also...

Alex has been hard at work on his very first Atlantis script, Inquisition, that will address an issue a number of you have brought up of late.

All signs point to this being in the second half of the season.

Cool, is the spanish going to be introduced in this ep?

[ussrelativity]

This should be quite interesting.

Could this be the courtroom episode that JM mentioned a few months ago?

I went to check what else Alex has written. Apparently he's only written one other Stargate episode - Dominion. GW says story by Alex Levine, teleplay by Alan McCullough.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnobody expects the IOA Inquisition!

What? You didn't honestly expect that would go unsaid, did you?

So it's the IOA this time instead of the spanish?

Well...the IOA rep could be one Juan Louis Enrique Martinez. Spain was part of the IOA last time I checked

Yep, like I said, this here is Alex's first script, as he only pitched out the story for Dominion.

Heh...the future SciFi blog entry for this episode will surely be enlightening, and long.

Oops, sorry, I missed that.

Why I am reminded of something like Inaguaration or Summit?

Pretty promising title. I hope Alex pulls this off just as Ken Cuperus did with Common Ground in S3.

Here's some speculation:
1) They encounter a new enemy and get into trouble for alleged heresy against the native gods (which could be the Ancestors, Wraith, Replicators ....) resulting in cruel and unusual form of punishment for the team.

2) It's an IOA / SGC investigation and the team gets into trouble with Earth authorities. About time we see a Sheppard/Woolsey .... or some consequences/flashback leading to a court martial?

3) Kolya or Michael surfaces with a faction of zealots who are strongly prejudiced against Atlantis. After all, the extreme Shep whump episode is now in the back half of S5, though it was to be written by Alan M, right?

Will this episode be like this...

Spoiler:

[g.o.d]

They will burn Teyla at the stake

They will burn Teyla at the stake

Yes, and the joke title could be "Teyla of Arc."
