    They could have shown her with the suit on spend 4 seconds explaining that the doors don't open. and remove that line about how she never went to parties.

    I agree with fallen angel not showing her in a hazmat suit or not even mentioning it, makes keller look bad

      It's... the... infirmary... with only one single room (as far as I could see). It's one of the places where hazmat suits are the most important. Say a real outbreak occurs. Who are the most important people to protect? That's right, the doctors so they can treat the sick. And remember how every time there's a potential outbreak, the doctors are usually wearing hazmats? It'd be illogical to not have hazmats stored in the infirmary.
      It wouldn't matter anyway as the infirmary was considerd to be infected anyway.

        What make you say that? In hot zone only the mess hall was infected, but the quarantine protocol shut down everything.

          There was no outbreak and the show had nothing to do with an outbreak. It was a character episode about the characters and their relationships.

          If you put her in a hazmat suit you've gotta put Ronan in one or the doors still wont open. Then you've got these two characters sittin around in hazmat suits looking goofy (unnecessarily) trying to do this serious scene about getting to know each other.

            I don't remember ever seeing an episode where they put on Hazmat suits during a lockdown that had nothing to do with an outbreak.

            Because it's a waste of time that breaks the flow and the feel of the scene.

            And would've made the whole Ronan/Keller part of the story seem silly.

              I agree that showing them in hazmats and the door still not opening would have been a waste of time. Maybe they should have had them mention it in a line of dialogue that they tried it, but no more than that. The ep was about the character moments and not your typical actioner.

              Perfecto!

                I agree. I think some have just made this into their personall Keller vendetta.

                  Not me, John was in the science lab, knowing mckay there had to have been a hazmat suit there. Same with the rest of Atlantis. I can't believe they don't have a procedure to handle a lockdown/quarantine other then radio mckay.

                  I realize the writers wanted character development in this episode, but would it have killed them to mention the suits?

                    Another possibility is that Teyla and John were only able to move around because the lockdown was of a lighter level. The Code Nine(or whatever the number was) lockdown was so harsh that not even hazmat gets through.
