      True. I also like how Atlantis didn't make it through the asteroid belt unscathed. The city's been flooded, pelted with rocks, and hit with energy beams so far.

        1. Like the new credits. Slightly altered with a couple clips of S3 in it

        2. So sad about Dr. Weir until the end, but then I was happy to see her up at the end. I am so iffy about activating those Replicator nanites.

        3. Loved the Jumper scene, and Radek & John's scene.

        4. They are still screwed, and talk about an audicious plan. Should be interesting.

        I currently have no rating because of "To be continued."

          That was AWESOME! Fabulous CGI (that jump across by Zelenka and Sheppard was unbelievable!). Great conflict between Sheppard and McKay. Incredibly sweet scene between Ronon and Weir.

          I can't wait for next week!

            Yeah awesome opener! I can't wait for the next ep! As soon as they started to talk about getting the ZPMs I was like "Awe yeah!" I can't wait for next week!

            Perfecto!

              Ok you guys are on the ball, lol! Awesome episode, obviously the juicy parts are being left for part 2, but it was a nice season opener none the less.

              I liked getting to see the softer side of Ronan, as he visisted Weir while she was in the hospital bed etc.

              There were a few things I was confused about though. I really thought the minute the shield contracted that those exposed areas would sort of break apart. At the very least if their plan to jump to hyperspace had suceeded then that would have torn the city appart but that didn't seem to be an issue until the power outputs had dropped too low.

              I was surpised to see Sam in the new credits already, even though they advertised it like crazy that she was joining the show I thought they would at least still wait a couple episodes before putting her there. Anyways, it was great overall. 9/10

                It was very good, there was a great deal to love about it.

                -- Sheppard having to remind Rodney "Hey, I need to know what's going on."

                -- "If you dumb this down any more I'm gonna hit you."

                -- How every time they surmounted one hurdle, it was, "Colonel Sheppard and Dr. McKay, report to the control center, please."

                -- John and Rodney confrontation then getting over it.

                -- John learning about Elizabeth's condition.

                -- Ronon saying thank you.

                -- FX, the asteroid shoot-out, the micro-astroids.

                -- Midway Station, very cool.

                -- the ending, a heist!

                  It was definitely much better with music and sfx. Lifeline will be better, though. Can't wait!

                    I don't think that would make much sense for a safety protocol. Contracting the shields and destroy the city? It was also shown in the first episode Atlantis as a whole was very robust to extreme conditions like the high pressures and conditions of the ocean.

                      One of the best season openers. The season is on it's way to being one of the best seasons to date.

                        This was a good start to the new season.

                        It was wonderful to see Sheppard and McKay going a little deeper than the usual banter. McKay's apology was sweet. I got a real sense of their friendship and I liked that. I was a little disappointed that our first "John" from Rodney was thrown in as if he's been saying it the past four years. That was a bit of a missed opportunity...not to mention a cop-out on the part of the writers, if you ask me.
                        But I was still glad to see and feel the deepening friendship, so I forgive the writers for being big chickens this time.

                        Teyla and Ronon and Zelenka were all excellent, too. Maybe it's just me, but I got a feeling of more maturity in the dialogue, something more solid and real about it than in seasons past. Everyone was working together so smartly and so determinedly. It came across well. I hope the writers continue in that style, strengthening and deepening character bonds.

                        It was great to see Sam and I'm looking forward to having her in Atlantis. Good to see her prominently in the credits, where she belongs.

                          this season is getting good, but I hope they don't turn Weir evil, it has been done to often

                            Definitely didn't live up to the hype they were promising. Predictable moves ... rehashed stories. No different outcome.

                            Hope Lifeline is better.

                              Definitely like the new opening credits, even though they are similar to season 2/3.

                              The Rodney/Sheppard tension was nicely done.

                              Loved the asteroids part! Great CGI!

                              Zelenka getting hit by a mini-asteroid was something I didn't expect.

                              Ronon's scene with Weir was really good too.

                              Liked the Carter/Lee banter.

                              RepliWeir. 'Nuff said.
