Just rewatched this myself. Excellent episode, just excellent.
I like how Hewlett is still finding his feet with McKay in it. Yes McKay is condescending, rude and blunt, but he's also very helpful and serious throughout.CARTER: "I’m dressing up like Robin Hood, but part of my costume is missing, what have you got for me?"
HAMMOND: "You have a bow!"

I was so excited watching the pilot despite being on catch-up mode on SG-1. Anyway, the control chair gave me goosebumps and I had to pick up my jaw from the floor when the major so easily visualized the solar system while he operated it. I won't forget Rodney's expression. lolz. The drone VFX was very kewl.
The Wraiths were scary and I nearly balked when the female caretaker said, "all living things must eat." I had hope for more veiled terror coming from this group though just to complete their insidiousness.
The Athosian guy who was dessicated into husk, was he indeed a 'spy'? Or he was just unlucky to be singled out by the Wraith as well? It seemed that Sumner and the rest of the soldiers had a feeling, there was a spy in their midst.
Sheppard firing the kill shot was intense however brief because he was stunned afterward by another Wraith. Good thing, Ford backed Sheppard.
I liked the various snaps shots into the families/ significant others of each expedition team members. It was a coming together of various individuals from different fields of expertise and the impact a very long, top secret journey it would bring to these people.
I hope we'll see more of Jinto.

From time to time i re-watch SG-1 and Atlantis from the Beginning and I'm doing that with Atlantis Now. Upon watching Rising Part 1, the part where Carson Sat in the chair and the Drone almost Killed Sheppard and O'Neill (Which of course would not ever happen) why didn't he just get out of the chair? If its controlled thru thought while sitting down, wouldn't getting up turn the chair off?sigpic
