The "Adrift" Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread .SPOILERS

[PG15]

That was refering to "Outcast", not this episode.

Very small update:

PG15 writes: “1. In yesterday's blog, you said you watched Adrift's "final mix"; does that mean it's ready to air on TV? 2. The episode being shot today with the explosions and smoke; it's "The Kindred", right? 3. I'd like to clarify a question made by another poster. As both Pegasus Project and Midway are (as you've said) big crossover episodes, which episode do you like better? 4. How well does Joe F play the guitar?”

Answers: 1. Almost. 2. Sounds like it. 3. Midway is just a script while Pegasus Project is a finished episode so that’s an unfair question. 4. If you ask him, he’ll say “not very well”.

Havnt seen a dedicated thread for this yet so post your ideas here of what you think will happen.


My idea

Spoiler:

I think they will come up with some stupid ideas to waste time on loads of guesses that wont work, and the outcome will be 1 of 2 scenarios

1 - the deadalus / apollo or some other stupid new ship we have never heard about will show up and rescue every one, give up there zpm (apollo) and all will be good in the world again.

2 - after a few hours and with only minutes left of breathing air they will some how find another power supply in atlantis.

ideas please

i say the odessy will come to save the day

According to Gateworlds summary on the front page, it's Sam with the Apollo. But it says it's not until Lifeline?

Yeah I noticed that to, maybe its just a mist. But i thought that Sam was supposed to come in "her own ship."

Actually we see her in Adrift JM said that ages ago and the "her own ship" thing is also a no go. SHe comes on the Deaddy I think.

It would be odd for her to have her own ship for one episode and then to jsut give it to someone else. It's probably the Apollo.

That's only if it made it back to Earth in time. Wasn't the Deadalus already on Earth?

Some interesting stuff about this episode in David Hewlett's interview in TV Zone. You can read my full transcript here but I'll paste the bits relevant to this ep below:

At the end of First Strike, Colonel John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) decides the only way to save Atlantis is to fly it into hyperspace. Although they eventually manage to elude the Replicator weapon, the city inadvertently ends up lost when it returns to normal space. As a result, the Atlantis expedition spends the fourth season opener Adrift and the following episode Lifeline not only looking for a new home, but also dealing with a deadly new enemy as well as the 'loss' of their leader, Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson).

"This was another of those weird saying goodbye moments like we had last season with Sunday and Carson Beckett," notes Hewlett. "We're essentially saying goodbye to Torri and the Weir character as we know it."

The actor continues, "As episodes go, I have to say these," Adrift and Lifeline, "are some pretty neat ones. Again, visual effects-wise they're huge, and they also set the tone for the rest of the year.

Following Dr Weir's unexpected departure, Stargate SG1's Colonel Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) arrives on Atlantis to take over the running of the base, much to McKay's chagrin. "I think it really complicates everything for my character," says Hewlett. "I sound so serious about it, but it's his concern that makes it so funny and fun to watch. McKay honestly believed he was going to be in charge. The chain of command went Weir, Sheppard and then McKay. He had an argument about this with the Caldwell character in a Season Two story [The Long Goodbye]. In it, McKay was like, 'This is a science base and I'm in charge when Weir and Sheppard are out of commission.'

"So this time, as sad as McKay is to lose Weir, he sort of assumes that he's the one who's taking her place," continues the actor, "and when Carter shows up it's a huge shock to him. He's like, 'This is my base. I'm the pro here who answers the questions, not you.'

With Atlantis isolated from Earth at the start of Season Four, McKay felt like he was the go-to guy. Now he's working with someone who he knows is a challenge to him, both intellectually and just from a position of power."

Thanks for the transcript Ali!!! Clarifing in a lot of ways, although it had me concerned in a few parts like the McKay Sam interaction... I hope they don't exagerate.

I'm not worried from the article it sounds like a natural reaction.

I know it is, it's just that sometimes they overdo these kinds of things... but overal it sounds it's going to rock
