That ROCKED! Inventive, exciting, complex, and very cool.
Good stuff:
* Todd - he never gets old. LOVED his willingness to participate even with his doubts. The line questioning Wraith identity if they went through with the testing was BRILLIANT. And the nifty Wraith stunner sticks were way cool. Funny how he had them ready....
* Daniel - I've missed you! He gives as good as he gets with McKay (oh, the snark!), and his amused smile when Rodney mentioned that Sheppard could've been Mensa made me laugh. I love that he's still actively researching the Ancients.
* Janus' lab and experiments - we haven't seen nearly enough about Atlantis and the secrets she holds. I adore the fact there are still some there.
* Todd seemed to know about the device (I didn't catch what he called it).
* alien race - great mystery. Are they human or alien? What's with the suits? How did they know what the alarm on the device signified? Where did the extremely cool shields and cutting device (?) come from? Did Janus create them?
* Teyla, Radek, Woolsey, Caldwell - good to see you. Where've you been?
* Banks - I like her.
* great effects - I don't normally notice these kinds of things, but I particularly liked the alien ships entry into Lantean space and the following flight over the water.
* Sheppard in command - love it when he gets all military
* Woolsey tells Sheppard not to blow the place up. So he promptly manages to blow up the infirmary and the gate room. Oops.
* Daniel being willing to die to avoid the unforeseen side effects and Rodney struggling to shut it down when he figured out what they were
* the plotlines merging at the end - the experiment working which destroys the Wraith cruiser and blows up the Atlantis gate. I wonder how many other worlds will face the same fate before they shut it down.
I have lots of questions, but I'm hoping those will be answered in part 2. I hope Teyla and Ronon will be more involved then.
