You're thinking too linearly. Then again, I didn't describe it very well. I meant more like Sheppard and company go through the gate like any other day, and while exploring, they find Weir, a biological Weir, no nanites/replicators... all human. Our people are left with many different plausible scenarios. Is she another replicator human creation (ala This Mortal Coil), was the replicator Weir rescued from space and put in a human body (ala GitM(o)), or, was the human Weir not killed at all? Given all the crappy comebacks TPTB gave her, this would play off of all of them.
Or...
We follow Weir as she wakes up in the hands of hostiles. Could be Wraith, could be Genii, could be Travelers, could be Asgard. Any of these races could have snagged her from space (or another way, see above) in the hopes of learning replicator secrets.
Or...
The Genii develop an early version of our space program. Having learned about Weir being stranded in space, Laden creates this program with the express goal of rescuing her (think Gemini (Yes, I meant Gemini, not Genii) space capsules without rockets, just the capsule to fly through the gate, dial back, and fly home). His hope is to gain replicator tech. He gets all the replicators at the space gate and is unpleasantly surprised when they are activated.
Or...
(I especially like this one) The Atlantis team meets up with Janus (time traveling Ancient) and Weir, but it is not our Weir. Janus has constructed his time machine and gone back in time to get the "Before I Sleep" Weir and brought her with him to the present. They help the team, but she gets put back into stasis by the end with explicit instructions not to reveal this when she awakens.
Or...
As Space Weir falls into the planet's atmosphere (several months ago), the heat enables her to boot back up. Because she has conscious will, she is able to override her code and alters her body shape into something more aerodynamic. She falls to earth (literally). The impact leaves her damaged and barely able to function, but utilizing mad nanite skills, she builds a stargate out of the raw materials around her, altering them at the molecular level. It takes months, but she does so and dials away. Falling back on her base programming (so little of Weir is left), she returns to a classified Ancient facility hoping for repairs, but the facility is now occupied by the renegade Asgard. They repair her, and she, in turn helps them bring their facility online, which is actually a huge Ancient super weapon. The Asgard don't hesitate to use it, helping them to secure a position as top dog in the Pegasis Galaxy. When Atlantis is threatened, our boys move to counter, and guess what (or who) they find. Sheppard is captured because he tries to "rescue" her, but that goes badly. He is head tortured by Weir, but while in his mind, she begins to remember her lost life.
I could go on, but I won't. And that's just off the top of my head.
*sighs* So much lost opportunities...
