Pretty good as a stand alone episode, but its a bit convienient and cheap that Merlin was working on a weapon specifically designed to kill Ascended beings. Couldn't they come up with anything more creative for a solution to the Ori other than yet another magic Ancient weapon? Also I love how many incredible technological feats the Ancients seem to have left behind for us here in Milky Way Galaxy, yet Atlantis, which was supposed to be the crown jewel of their civilization is pure crap. Other than the shields and transport closets and drone weapon, the city itself has proven to be less technologically special and advanced than say New York City.
I didnt like the little gag with Dr. Lee with the miniturization idea. It was out of character for Lee. Lee is usually shown in a comedic situation or as a bit of comic relief but they have always shown him as a very competent, brilliant scientist as well and it was just so ridiculous it didnt work for me.
Mitchells and Teal'c banter at the end was very out of character and innappropriate. In a normal situation that they defeated a enemy yes it would have been an amusing way to end the show, but the Sodan have been completely wiped out regardless of whether they succeeded in escaping and Mitchell got to be really good friends with the Sodan in general and the Zombie guy in particular. They should have been more serious andintrospective at the end.
Also, it was cool the first 2 times Teal'c did the double P90 thing, but now its getting old Yeah yeah we get it, Teal'c is big and bad and needs more than a single puny P90. They need to give Teal'c his own unique powerful weapon since he doesnt carry a staff any more. He looks really stupid when he needs to use one of his hands and has to hold both in the same hand and its overlly cliche for him to always be weilding two.
