I didn't really take much time. I probably accidently forgot about a couple things (bad memory I have). I typed it all while it was still fresh in my mind.
The last five minutes of the episode involved ZPMs, ATMs, and Starbucks in the Pegasus galaxy.
... Well, in OUR minds it did lol. We can't go one episode without making fun a bit. My parents were getting a little bored and started saying stuff like, "Just finish the story already!" or "Just die already!"

I watched it alone, took the time to tape it, AND started typing it.
Thing is, since my tape screwed up before the end, I don't have the Hologram Chick's name.
Ah, and one more bit of info: The Ancients don't call themselves the Ancients. They have a name for their race, but it's not mentionned in the episode.

Maybe they like the name the Ancients because it makes they sound much more powerful so they're not gonna tell us. They're probably 'The Bobsises' or something like that. The Ancients sound much more cooler... and older.

Besides, after all that time on Atlantis (millions of years before they finally find the Wraith) shouldn't they have changed their name?
I mean, our own name seems to have changed somewhat, Homo Sapiens --> Homo Sapiens Sapiens --> Homo --> whatever name it's called in any Latin based language (Humain in french, Human in English, and so on)

Actually, the scientific nomenclature of our kind (how we classify ourselves using Linnaeus's species naming system invented only a few centuries ago) is still Homo Sapiens/Homo Sapiens Sapiens (of course derived from Latin, since that was still the popular scientific language at the time)... the Romans probably would've simply used Homo or something like that, as they didn't use the formal Linnaean system of classifying species.

As for the storyline, I was surprised to see that the time travel wasn't linear, like most time-travel in SG-1 was. To break the timeline like that would mean that Dr. Weir is going to die twice in one universe... Um...

So the Atlanteans had powerful warships, transportvessels for 300+ and their planetary explorer-vessels, a.k.a. Puddle Jumper.
That's really cool. Hopefully we'll atleast get some information about them later on. Recorded video of engagements with the Wraith for example. Also design specs and blueprints

Wow. That's probably the most original take on time travel I've heard from a television show.

Originally posted by MartoufMartyJanus takes his time travel research with him, and I guess Janus makes another time ship on EARTH, thus explaining the whole Mobieus thing going on there.

A good episode (what can I say, I love them all), and informative about the ancients.But, I was disappointed that there wasn't any elaboration about the whole Shep 'sharing himself' with Chaya from the previous episode. They BETTER follow that up soon.
Others have done the summary bit quite well, I'll just nit-pick a little.
A note is found in her sleeve with 5 gate adresses, most of which were already visited before.
The Hologram Lady = Morris (sp?). (Funny, cause I didn't recognize her as such, but I did catch the name. )
The Ancients do have a name...don't they refer to themselves as Atlanteans? That's what I picked up at least from this episode.
Shipper Notes:
I did swoon a bit in that first scene with Weir and Shep on the balcony...definitely a shippy moment! Also, since he was the only one to acknowledge her birthday, it's even more significant. I do think they will be developing this ship very very gradually though, which is good.
I caught a few interesting looks between Teyla and McKay, and thinking back I think I've caught similar looks in previous episodes too. In particular I'm referring to those moments when McKay says something REALLY obnoxious, and then they cut/pan to Teyla giving him a 'tsk, tsk' look. Kinda makes me think she has private talks with him in which she tells him to 'behave'.

I'm pretty sure McKay only mentioned that ONE had been visited before. I definitely didn't get the impression that MOST had been visited before. And I presume that the one that had been visited was whatever that planet was from Childhood's End.

Sheppard: I'm sure the ancients have a name for it
Ford: How about atlantica? Something like that
Sheppard: I thought we agreed you were not going to name anything anymore

I don't really think there is much romantically between McKay and Teyla, but I do think there might be more to their relationship than meets the unobservant eye.
I don't think Shep and Teyla have anything going on (I didn't in Hot Zone either...at least not on Shep's end), and I don't see why Athar/Chaya rules out a home-based Weir ship.
But when it comes to Shep, I will readily admit I am not fully in command of my logical faculties.
