Watching part 2 on scifi tonight, I must say that the 'special' opening title sequence they used when the episode was split up was pretty darn pathetic!
A 2 minute shot of the ocean (with NOTHING happening) followed by a quick pan down to Atlantis in the last 5 seconds.
I know the episode was intended to be shown as a 2 hour TV movie, but yieks, they should have just sticked with the traditonal opening!

Originally posted by Mr. SevenWatching this again I never noticed how when Shepperd shows up McCay with his super fast calculation..in the background the one guy who is Indian I believe looks around in astonishment. This series is so good, the second time around you pick up on some cool stuff.
Seeing the episode again made me realize how good the shots of the city rising from the water are. It just takes your breath away and I'm looking at it on a 20 inch screen.
When the door first opened when Sheppard and Weir walked by, this time I noticed Peter and McKay looking towards the door. The first thing I thought was "oops, they just let in some allergens!"
Now I recognize Stackhouse when I see him. I didn't remember him being on the rescue mission.
At the party at the end, I could identify some of the other expedition members. And this time I noticed McKay and Beckett standing in the background watching Sheppard and Teyla as a setup for their close up scene.

Originally posted by watcher652His facility with numbers is part of Sheppard's official bio, so his calculation didn't surprise me. But I didn't catch anyone else noticing because I was looking at McKay being puzzled that Sheppard knew the math. I think McKay was still stunned by Sheppard's math ability when he kind of meekly went to follow Sheppard's order to try all the combinations and send a MALP thru when he found one that locked in. But all Sheppard had to do is look up that number once since you know how many symbols you need to dial out.It's antithetical to my character and I don't like it on a fundamental level.

Originally posted by Ugly PigI'm curious - just where is the break point between parts 1 and 2 of 'Rising'? I've only seen the full-lenght version...
In the stand alone Rising Part 2, the "last time on Stargate Atlantis" shows a bit of the scene with Sheppard and Teyla in the cave where he found her necklace. Also, is shown is what was supposed to be the last scene from the previous episode - Sheppard is saying "What is it?" and Teyla says "The Wraith!". These 2 scenes came after McKay tells Weir about the shield.
However, we didn't see those scenes when we saw the stand alone Rising Part 1.
Spoiler:As we now know, the scene where Sheppard and Teyla were in the cave and he found her necklace is really important later on.
I don't know why we didn't see it in the separate episode version.
Or am I just remembering this all wrong?
Edit to say that this episode split was on the SciFi channel in the US.
Edit again because I realized I said something about a future episode. I forgot some people are just starting to see the series.Last edited by watcher652; 19 October 2004, 10:58 PM.

only problem..not scared of the wraith. at all, and i get the feeling i'm supposed to be. but then i was never scared of the gou'ald either. it's only the replicators and super soldiers that give me the chills, so i guess that's just me.
