It is indeed a sig by PurpleYin, and it's over here.
Thanks TOF...Good thing my photographic memory comes into good use, I wasn't really sure. I had to give you a green for the confirmation and definitely Purpleyin a green for thinking outside the box and coming up with wicked sig...and having her idea sort of come to life on screen...!!

OK, so no ZPM ...
Your brother beams you onto a battlecruiser in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth, and, yeah, you got to check out the next galaxy. Important project and all. And you get to work out that whole sibling issue thing while doing cool physics stuff.
Almost as good as brother and sister looking out the window at Earth while discussing saving the universe was the Sam/Rodney interaction.
I must admit I did not call the ending. When I saw Sheppard with a gold club, I thought we were going to find out we were watching the alternate universe.
I am in mourning for the ZPM. Atlantis took losing the ZPM better than I did.
No worries...by some chance they'll get a new one.

Most likely, when the Asurans coming in TR1-2, I'm sure they'll be accompanied by a few zpms,and things will be all nice and dandy!!
Funny you should mention that because I had a total DW moment when Jeannie met Shep. His whole greeting to her and McKay's reaction... LOL! I expected him to say, "For you, saying hello IS flirting!"
edit: Oh, I do wish they'd avoided the golf thing, though. Too WOO.
Me too!!
Spoiler:
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince
And made myself a queen
Before you knew me I traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell
I believe in fairytales and dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
And anything I can to get by
And fireflies...

Yet again, Atlantis is outclassing SG-1 this season.
I've noticed that too. For the last 2 seasons SG-1 has had the better overall story arch that runs through most of the episode, but comparing night-to-night, about 75% of the time Atlantis has the better episode, even without the underlying story arch.
As for this episode, I thought I was quite good, great setup for 'The Return'. I especially like the shot were they turned to see how much power was left in the zpm and the monitor said "00" then the lights went out.
McKay and Mrs Miller gets "***/****"
O'Neill: They didn't go for it. Carter: They didn't approve the mission? O'Neill: Oh, no they did that. Once they knew the stakes and the whole fate of the universe stuff. Both the President and Hammond realized we had no choice. He sends good luck, godspeed, all those things he says when he thinks we're gonna die. Carter: So what didn't they go for? O'Neill: The name I suggested. Carter: For the ship? O'Neill: Yeah. Carter: Yeah. Sir, we can't call it the 'Enterprise'. O'Neill: Why Not?! -Unnatural Selection
We have the same doll house as Jeannie has for her daughter!!!!!! kinda creepy...

I would not at all mind if they brought McKay's sister back some time. I could see the 'Hewlittisms' in there alright..! It was also nice to have a small cross over with Sam! It was also very cool to see a 'cool' Rodney. Overall, I've got to give this episode an A+..!

The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala

Are you sure? Because I thought Jeannie said, "The bridge has collapsed! We've done it! Shut off the ZPM!" and McKay told them not to because Rod wasn't "there" yet.
Also, did anyone pick up on the fact that AU Team Atlantis was perfectly willing to destroy "our" universe to save their own? I wonder if "our" team would have done the same thing if the situation had been reversed.
HOLY FREAKING CRAP! This was such a great episode! It is probably one of the best episodes I have ever seen. I loved seeing all these sides of Rodney--everything from AR coolness to our Rodney's lack of self-confidence. Poor Rodney.
And oh, God, the kid hugged him! lol "Uh... hello, little one." ROTFLMAO. But... the best part has got to be--"Your name is... Meredith?"
His name is Meredith Rodney McKay!? That is just too beautiful.
I can't keep my thoughts straight... I'm rewatching it now and it's sort of hard to concentrate. But this is such a good episode and I am so happy I taped it. I'll be watching this a million times... then I'll come back.
Yay! Two Rodneys, two Hewletts... it just doesn't get any better.
Great ep. Loved David's and Katie's performance in the show. TPTB better bring her back, somehow.

I wish my brother had a cool job like McKay. I would go, wouldn't everyone?
Spoiler:
Can't wait to see the movie David made with Katie. I hope it comes out soon. I will definitely watch it now after see them act together.

I liked that Ronon got to be funny with the whole underwear on the head thing and awww the team told them that "Rod" was creepy and they prefer him, how sweet.
Damn, that sucks about the ZPM though.
Was anyone able to access the SCIFI site? I can't get it the password part to load! Urgh! I didn't want them to spoil me while I was watching the ep so I waited until it was over and now I can't see it!! AHHHH!!! SCIFI sucks!!
To be blunt and petulant here before I put this behind me... this episode sucked, sucked, sucked. Much of its humor was cringe-worthy and the opposite of clever, the writers treated their own creations with utter contempt, and I wish I could erase the experience of watching this from my mind.
Now I shall go to bed secure with the knowledge that this is just a TV show and that by Sunday, I'll already be getting anxious waiting for next Friday to come.
