The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
I concur. A better setup would've been something like this:
Sheppard's in the future, lets say 50 ~ 100 years, and arrives in a nearly destroyed (And because of that completely altered into a hybrid of human and Ancient tech) Atlantis, it being one of the the last outposts of humanity as the other humans have either been killed by the wraith or Michael or have been evacuated to Earth, and helps defend it against Michael's cronies.
After the battle's over Sheppard is met by an old Rodney (or Rodney's niece) and is told what has happened. We also learn why Atlantis hasn't been brought to the Milky Way: Michael damaged it badly and the IOA found it more important to bring the undamaged Sister City back home and thus decided to copy the Atlantis database to the Sister City and use Atlantis as a decoy so the Sister City could escape Pegasus.
They try to send Sheppard back to the present time to prevent this future from taking place but the shield is draining too much power and they need to move Atlantis to a new planet, but they can spare just enough power to send a message to the past using Rodney's compression algorithm (First seen in S1's letters from Pegasus). So Sheppard's stuck in the future for the time being.
Cut to present day Atlantis: A note arrives through the Stargate, ala 2010, but unlike in 2010 this note doesn't prevent the future, it actually causes it to happen.
As Team Atlantis rushes to the planet where Teyla's being held, they discover they're too early but by arriving too early they caused Michael to prematurely start his campaign for domination causing, as I stated earlier, the future they were trying to prevent.
The episode ends with a 24 style splitscreen with Teyla being held on a ship, ready to deliver with Michael watching over her on one. Sheppard being trapped in the future and preparing to fight with the chair. Atlantis detecting Michael's fleet approaching while Team Atlantis is stranded on Michael's planet as the gate dissappears (In the background Michael's ship can be seen flying away from the planet).
Excellent idea.
I had an idea where shep would only go 40 years into the future and meet Teyla's child as an adult. I though Micheal was nuts enough that he would keep the boy, make him into a hybrid and have him as his own son.
The Teyla's son never knew his mother or the turth, Micheal changed everything. He actually gained the city of Atlantis and now used it for himself.
I would have Rodney bright enough to figure out Sheppard will arrive 40 years into the future and place a hidden program that would help sheppard return.
But Teyla's son would be the key to sending Shep back and fixing what Micheal did.
Sheppard getting back with the son's help and going against Micheal who would be heavily featured in the ep would be the whole ep.
I felt the eps should have centered on the son and how he becomes so important and Micheal should show just how evil he became.
Shep should have been the last hope to fix it, not the last man.
I like yours too, combine the both and we'd have a nice story for a good season finale.

I like that idea, it adds tension especially if Sheppard has to make the choice whether or not to kil him.

I'd change the city Michael has to the Sister City, it fits better. Michael's smart, he would know about it and would probably take it so he has a weapon rivaling Atlantis.

*nods* I like the who "Michael as main character" theme. He is, along with Todd, the only character who I really enjoy seeing and even more importantly, he's well developed. I think he actually has had more character development than most of the regulars.

Thanks,
Or Micheal attacks Atlantis, and canonicalizes the city leaving it in ruins. He leaves the gate behind cause Rodney manages to put on a lock that makes it impossible for anyone to dial out until Sheppard comes through the gate in the future.
The city abandoned was a good idea, just 50,000 years into the future was rather redundant for the show writers.
It would be neat if Shep had walked through the gate and found a half sunken city, just the tower and main core still afloat. A puddle jumper still flyable, but in the submerged dock, so he would have to swim for it.
The city would have a flickering, fuzzy image of Rodney...who instructs Sheppard to go find his 40 year older self.
He finds Rodney and Carter leading a groups of resistance fighters, on a wraith hive ship with Todd's people.
This would bring the humans, the wraith and the hybrids face to face. Teyla was murdered, Keller turned into a hybrid, along with woosley, Zelenka, the son, and Ronon.
Ronon part wraith would make for an interesting twist.
So, shep would figure out that Micheal is the head hanco and the most powerful in the galaxy. Wraith and humans are forced to make alliances to fight Micheal, which would include a food negotiation of humans for the wraith to consume.
The situation could force Sam to make decisions she wish she never had to make. Like sending people to their death or to be feed upon and lose years of life.
There would be a huge amount of issues to explore and it could easily be a 3 parter.
I greatly enjoyed the finale, right up to the point where Shep got back. My ending would have been Shep wakes up and there's no Rodneygram, no power, no atmosphere outside, just a huge red sun in the sky. Everything Rodney planned has failed and Shep's on his own.
Unless you intend to kill off the lead characters on a seasonal basis, these types of cliffhangers make no sense at all. And the bad building collapse CGI literally made me laugh out loud after I got over the shock of how bad it was.
