I mean, its obvious to viewers that he's not going to die being a main character and all, but the writers could have at least made the other characters show a little more concern.It's a Fargate! It's different.

I liked that the creative types for Stargate Atlantis have used the neatest fully-functional pda/multimedia player to power on the naquadah generator! Well, I thought that was neat!
To compare, the Zodiac is at www.tapwave.com. A keen-eyed Zodiac owner captured its bit part at the following link:

Is there more than one "style" of naquadah generator, or will all of them on this series have a Palm OS pda to control it? That would be neat to see! What other "everyday" objects have you seen that were adapted for a different use as a prop in the SG world?

I liked this episode except for the way the military personell went around pointing their firearms at the "shadow" creature. It made me want to laugh.
Did anyone else think it was odd to see them sitting on a couch watching a football game on a big-screen with popcorn?! I mean, I know they have a lot of cool technology but I doubt the Ancient's display panels have RCA jacks built in. And sure the Atlantis team has a lot of talented people, but I doubt figuring out how to connect my VHS tape / DVD to a big-screen is gonna be high on anyone's priority list.
And while I'm griping: everyone seems to have brought off-duty clothes plus their regular working clothes. Doesn't that seem a little frivelous?
I liked the theory about the Ancients studying the creature in order to learn how to ascend. Hmm. I wonder why the holo-message from the Ancients didn't mention anything like "sorry, but no one is home at the moment. We've all ascended to another plane." That brings to mind two more questions:
1. If the Ancients all ascended, I wonder why did some enter into human-history (references to the Atlantis legend originating from Ancients who lived in ancient Greece, etc..) at all?
2. Why do the Ancients help some people ascend and not others when they die?A student once asked his teacher, "Master, what is enlightenment?"
The master replied, "When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep."

Because it isn't the Ancients who help people ascend, it's the Ascended who help people ascend.
The Ascended are not made up only of Ancients who've ascended. Many other species have also ascended, and the Ancients are most likely not the first to have done so. Ascendedland is a melting pot of species, but it wants to be an exclusive club - excluding any who can't figure out Ascension for themselves, I guess.
Oma was bannished from the club when she started her little cult, but she was either not bannished as completely as Orlin was(Ascension) or, like Anubis, Oma figured out how to prevent her descension, only she did a better job of it than Nuby did.
This leads me to believe that the Ascended, though powerful, are not all-powerful. Maybe Orlin was just a simple, normally law-abiding citizen of Ascendedland, and not very good at being a "criminal." Folks like Oma and Anubis, OTOH, may be more troublesome to the Ascended authorities, like the Mafia and certain revolutionary elements of Earth societies - hard to catch and even harder to prosecute.
Just my theory, and subject to change.Gracie
A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."
