Very nice episode. The first clip show in Atlantis I believe. At least they made it better than SG-1's.
The episode of "Cor-Ai" of SG-1 came to mind here except this was a little different.
When are they going to learn that mysterious meeting places usually mean that you'll get kidnapped?
I find it quite insulting that people like that would blame Atlantis instead of thanking them. Especially since the opinion of the villages of the galaxy has been positive in the past.
The main thing that bugged me about this episode is how could primitive people build a castle-like building underground and burn fires letalone breathe in it without any kind of ventillation. Or did the Genii help them?
Not much to say about this one since most of it was a clip show. But Woolsey's actions looking for the team and detaining that member of the coalition was a good move. I'm so tired of the pitty moves that end up making leaders let the bad guys go.
I was worried when Woolsey first went to that planet. It must be obvious by now that all trials in village-setting planets are rigged. Especially with a non-impartial member.
So what is the Genii's new problem? Didn't they become allies with Atlantis or was that because they had to at the time?
I like that we got to see Woolsey play the defence attorney in this episode. I always felt like he was capable of such things.
Very nice when he leveled the playing field in the crooked trial. Too bad about his father's watch though.
I was very relieved that they ended up letting the team go as I kept thinking that they were going to have to fight their way out of that one. How do those primitive villagers have any info at all on the Asurans or the Todd alliance?
The ending bothered me as it is the first time that I know of in Stargate history that tobacco use has been portrayed by the "good guys" - that felt out of place in my opinion.
I don't know if most of you are against that or in favor of it or don't care but I think it's never good when any TV show portrays the use of tobacco positively, even if it's just a victory cigar? I just can't wait for the questions about whether or not Woolsey and Sheppard smoke or not.
Vala,
