It's got to put in jeopardy something that can actually be damaged or destroyed, like a main character's reputation or a favorite recurring character's life. I know the city isn't going to get blown out of space or water or whatever, no matter how big or many the guns that are pointed at it. That's why drawing out a battle doesn't work for me. I love the action but action alone doesn't sustain me. The cliffhangar has to have stuff running under the surface.
Oh, and easy on the rest button, please! Can't we give that button a sabbatical for season 4? That would be great. Wrong thread, sorry, but I'd like for everything that happens in season 4 to have consequences that resonate through arcs. And when the reset button gets back for season 5, I hope it's got a better agent and some really firm "terms and conditions."

Would be cool to see a Wraith army head to Atlantis & a Wraith army head to the Asuran home world & the Asurans & Atlantis team makes a timed agreement / team up. With Atlantis now having a new leader I would think the Asuran leader would be open to new discussions & giving the new leader has alot more military experience the Asuran leader would hopefully be mature enough to give Carter a chance & they come to a temp agreement until the Wraith & Michaels bug army are destroyed since the Wraith are a threat to both.

GateWorld lists the official "Written By" screen credit that you'll see on the episode. As a writing team, for the past several years Joe and Paul have primarily written episodes on their own and then sent it over to the other guy for another pass / revisions.
That's why there's an apparent discrepancy. Paul predominantly wrote "The Tower," but after the writing process is done (and, I believe, contractually) they are co-credited for all their episodes.GateWorld Podcast - Info - iTunes - Google

I'd like to see the mid-season break NOT one where once again, the city is under attack. It's been done already! These cliffhangers are a waste of time because by the time the second half starts up, everybody will have forgotten the first half anyway.
I can't say that Joe Mallozzi reportedly writing this episode(s) will be good or bad, unless he rips off another one of his SG1 scripts.... (Sorry, he has a tendency to do that).

Well, I asked Joe a few weeks ago about it, asking whether it'll be similar to the others:
Peter writes: “Can you drop any hints with regards to the mid-season 2 parter? It seems to me that most of these 2 parters have something attacking/taking Atlantis (except Lost Boys/Hive). Will this be similar?”
Answer: No hints but I will say that it will be very different from previous mid-season two-parters.

I think they should make more two-partner or three-partner episode in the next season(s). Instict-Conversion, Progeny-The Real World were quite good, so they should give up the season start, mid season two patner, season end cliff-hanger cliche. I would like to see next to the two-partners 3-4 episode long story arcs for every main character."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

^^ from what Ive read on JM's blog there's going to be more arcs. As in themes that run through a series of eps, and less stand alones that have that dreaded reset button. I for one am happy about that!
I have a feeling this cliffhanger will have something to do with the wraith and our new 'Allies'! Dont ask me why, I just have a feeling. Id love to see some type of war thing though!sigpicBy *E*K*R*

Small tidbit on this episode's behind the scenes stuff:
Anonymous #1 writes: “Is this script the one for the first part of the mid-season two-parter? Have you named it yet? Are you going to write the second part of the mid-season two-parter? Or, is Carl Binder writing the second part?”
Answers: Yes. Yes. No. No.
