A New Spoiler Poem to Decode: Season 5 Edition

[Jumper_One]

Or he's trying to confuse us

nah he would never do that

[Guest]

nah he would never do that

Well he can be cryptic and avoid direct answers I wouldn't put it passed him

[Jumper_One]

Well he can be cryptic and avoid direct answers I wouldn't put it passed him

[GoSpikey]

Nothing new yet?

[Jumper_One]

Nothing new yet?

nope

[GoSpikey]

nope

Pffft.

[Vespasianus]

That's my theory:

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. - Search and Rescue
The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. – The Seed (JM said that "this one" would be Woolsey)
An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, - Broken Ties
While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. – The Daedalus Variations
A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, - Ghost in the Machine
The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, - The Shrine
And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. – Whispers (though that could refer to Ghost in the Machine too)
A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. – Tracker ??? (doesn't really fit the spoilers, does it?)
(none for The Queen)
Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, - First Contact-The Lost Tribe
Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, - First Contact-The Lost Tribe

The status quo shifts, a power play made. - Inquisition ??? (perhaps the team is caught and stands trial from one or several of the emerging races in Pegasus for crimes against the galaxy)
While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. – "ShepWhump episode"
While myriad permutations are viewed from space. – "very special Atlantis episode?"

[TBA]

My guess:

The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, - The Shrine
McKay getting the Pegasus-alzheimer

While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. - Prodigal

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. - Hexed
Bad luck = he's getting hurt!

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. - 519 -CSI Atlantis
No explaining needed I think

The city assailed by mutations infective. - Remnants

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, - First Contact
Dr. Jackson

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, - Tracker

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. - Search and Rescue
Teyla's baby

The status quo shifts, a power play made. - Inquisition
The Genii unfolding their twisted plans for galactic domination

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. - The Seed
Woolsey arriving as expedition leader

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, - Broken Ties
Tyre

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. - Ghost in the Machine
Weir/FRAN

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, - First Contact
The new alien race form the mid-season 2-parter

While myriad permutations are viewed from space. - The Daedalus Variations
Hey, the Daddy is a space ship

[Jumper_One]

I really tried but it wasn't easy! anyway...

The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, - The Shrine
While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. - Whispers

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. - Remnants

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. - CSI Atlantis
The city assailed by mutations infective. - The Seed

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, - First Contact

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, - The Queen

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. - Search and Rescue

The status quo shifts, a power play made. - Ghost in the Machine

[TBA]

There's no hint to 'The Queen' in it, since the episode has been created after the poem was written.

[GoSpikey]

- The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, - The Shrine (Of Talus)
There isn't that many brilliant ones out there...
- While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. - Whispers
To put in a bind = capture/trap, and replacements = new Hybrids?

- While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. - Hexed?
"Hexed," Shep's ultimate whump ep, was shelved, right? So that clue has to be striked.

- A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. - CSI: Atlantis
Pretty straightforward.
- The city assailed by mutations infective. - The Seed
We've already seen pics of Hazmat suits, so... Infective.

- Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, - First Contact
Could even in a way be "Whispers"? If Carson returns from home, that is.

- A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, - Tracker
It fits so many eps... Or about none.

- A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. - Search And Rescue
Pretty straightforward again.

- The status quo shifts, a power play made. - Inquisition
Power play = Genii?
- The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. - (First Contact)
This one sounds like Woolsey's arrival, but McKay isn't happy about Daniel checking in on things, either.

- An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, - Broken Ties
I guess this one is the new Shep whump ep?
- And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. - Ghost In The Machine
Repli!Weir&Fran come to warn Atlantis?

- Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, - First Contact
Race = maybe enemy, but why "target"? They want to attack the Wraith, from what we know.
- While myriad permutations are viewed from space. - The Daedalus Variations
It's a space ep...


"Outsiders" doesn't have a line, yet? And I don't think we know much about "Prodigal"?

[TBA]

'Hexed' was a maybe for season 5. I certainly hope it'll get in, since I don't mind a Shep-whump now and then

[GoSpikey]

Then which one is GitM? Cos that one was definitely in there since it's been thought of before S5...

17 and 18: there's no real plans for those eps yet, it's been confirmed yesterday, I think?

[PG15]

Hexed can still fit; it wasn't a "maybe" when the poem was written.
