After watching series 5 on DVD I have decided to go back and start watching some of my favorite series 1 episodes including this one which I had not seen in a long time.
I really enjoy the way the Genii are introduced, and although the Genii are not the best enemies ever, this story did lead to the events in The Storm and The Eye, two of the best episodes in Atlantis history.
However after re-watching this episode I found one thing really shocking, and that is the appearance of the Wrath sets from series 1. Oh my Goa'uld System Lord do they look bad, infact they don't even look Wrath, especially when compared to the amazing sets for the Wrath we got in series 4 and 5.
The Wrath set from this episode just looked so bland, unfinished and pieced together, especially the food cocoons which looked really out of place. The Wrath sets back then also looked allot more blue and more architectural. Of Course I can forgive them as they where still experimenting with the designs of the Wrath ships, but still the difference is massive. I guess however you could say that Different Hive ships grow in different ways, so no one Hive looks the same inside. But even so it still looks terrible compared to the new ones.
Shame
