The Reunion Pre-airing discussion/speculation thread spoilers

[vaberella]

Even a bit of more story will do it for me, I'm not greedy.
I wonder if that friend of his from Belken will show up.

Bets on what the price will be? Killing one of his team, giving them up to be fed on, gotta be either McKay or Teyla called on to be sacrificed, with Shep doing the 'Atlantis is family' speech.

Don't think so, I doubt it. Ronon is loyal to those who've saved his life more than once and had his back in a lot of situations. So no matter his connection with those he feels guilty about, he won't sacrifice them. I have more faith in Ronon. Although, I can see him pushed to the lines of it and maybe...maybe debate it!

[Ploots]

Don't get me wrong, he would never do it, never give them up, but I think those tense 'will he won't he' moments can add a nice element of suspense to a tight episode, and there have been enough eps in other shows where they let you believe the character has turned to the dark side, when really it was a ploy within a ploy. i personally fall for those every time, i never guess its subterfuge.
ultimately, Ronan is loyal, without a doubt, but its going to be interesting to see if they offer him something that tempts him, so far all we know is he loves to kill wraith, the guy must be deeper than that, i wanna see what else is there and sacrifice and manipulation are a great way to dig that out.

Perhaps they offer him new clothes, joking

Okay just heard this from SG1_SPOILME, big spoilers

If this is what's to come in S4, then I definately think that Dark is the way forward

Spoiler:

REUNION

This is a Ronon-centric episode. Synopsis is derived from incomplete
information.

Ronon discovers survivors from Sateda. TYRE, one of his former comrades
(among others) hid in a network of caves on Sateda. Unfortunately, when the wraith
attacked, they were sealed in the tunnels by a collapse and it was weeks
before they could free themselves and escape.

TYRE and others are now nomadic, never staying in one place long. They know
that Ronon is with the Atlantis crew (rumors abound in the Pegasus Galaxy),
but, although Ronon wanted them to visit Atlantis, the welcome mat isn't exactly
extended. TYRE thinks that's because Ronon is their ally, not necessarily
their friend, and they'd like him to join them.

and........... that was in the beginning of the episode, and now we lose a
chunk of time and head toward the end.......

Alas, we're now in a Wraith research facility of some kind where things just
basically go to hell. Ronon discovers his friends are (insert music mostly
used in horror movies) wraith worshippers! They were tortured by the wraith,
brought nearly to an early death, then revived (much like Shep had done in COMMON
GROUND) but, after multiple times of this being done, they caved in to the
dark side. And now, they'd like Ronon to join them. It's then that ARA tells
Ronon that MARIKA and HEMI didn't die while on a run, they were killed because
they woudln't cave in to the wraith.

Guest characters include TYRE, ARA, RAKAI and of course and some nasty Wraith
(so far).

ETA: Sorry Prion, i've just amended it hon, i'll be more careful in future. Thanks for the gossip

I can already tell how "Reunion" is going to turn out

[prion]

My feelingson the episode, from what information we do have, is...

Spoiler:

That Ronon will run across his old buddies and wants to invite them to Atlantis, but it'is like, uh, no, we can't invite any strays back to the city, security and all that... so the seeds of doubt are sewn, and maybe Ronon decides to go with his friends, only to discover the awful truth that they're wraith worshippers, and at that point, when things are really dire, Sheppard and the team come to rescue him. He realizes at that point he's not just an ally to the team, but a friend and family.

Okay, perhaps being schmlatzy, but I'm entitled.

Should I mention that I saw

a summary on a site and that really isn't the way it went.

[The Prophet]

My Guess is that they're Cannibals. Yep, Cannibals. Atlantis needs some human Cannibals...

... alongside the whole

Wraith Worshipper Thing... I wonder how WW's eat, it's not like the Wraith culitvate food... apart from Humans... Maybe the WWs are cannibals...

From what I've seen, I'd say this is a likely scenario, too.

I don't think it's schmaltzy, though. It encompasses perceived friendship, doubt, and vindication all in 42 minutes. And that, folks, is good TV!

Um, if you saw, i said "my feelings" in other words, how I think it might work out. No, we don't have the full information so we're allowed to speculate.

The spoilers say that

Spoiler:

Atlantis survived(yet again).Even though we all had to know that it wouldn't be destroyed.

What do you think?

The first plot details have arrived for "Reunion," an upcoming episode of Stargate Atlantis's fourth season. Written by executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, the episode is currently slated to be the seventh episode of the upcoming season.

Beware of spoilers below!

It has been two years since Ronon Dex discovered that a small handful of his people survived the Wraith's decimating attack on his homeworld, Sateda ("Trinity"). Now the team encounters some of Ronon's own friends and fellow soldiers, who for many years he has believed were killed during a mission to attack the Wraith directly.

Tyre, Ara, and Rakai tell their story to their friend, that instead of being killed in a Wraith attack they were sealed into a series of undreground caves. They eventually dug themselves out and made it back to the Stargate, but by then it was too late: Sateda had been destroyed.

Ronon hopes that his new friends from Earth will welcome his old friend into Atlantis, but the others are apparently reluctant to reveal the city's continued existence. But Tyre is already well aware that the city of the ancestors is again populated. They have even heard stories from planet to planet that these humans are fighting the Wraith, and that a runner has joined them -- a warrior said to be seven feet tall who has killed a hundred Wraith!

Now that they have found him, Tyre insists, Ronon's place is with the Satedans. With Atlantis being less than welcoming to them, Ronon must make a decision: Does he join his friends and leave Atlantis? But he does not yet know his friends' darkest secret, and the real reason they have survived all these years.

Season Four of Stargate Atlantis will premiere on SCI FI Channel in the United States this fall. Brand new Season Three episodes premiere Friday, April 13!


I like the sound of this one! Rohan needs a good episode!

[the fifth man]

Sounds like an interesting enough episode. I can't wait to see what secrets Ronan's old friends are hiding.
