Stargate Atlantis 4x02 - Lifeline *Spoilers*

Ooooooh.
It was common knowledge that Weir was going to become only a recurring character but I didn't expect that stuff to all happen! I was genuinely surprised by the plot direction here. Quite exciting.

I also would say that this show has the best visual FX on television by a country mile. I loved watching Atlantis land in the water (even if that whole segment felt like something of an afterthought to the story).

I thought it was excellently done. Weir had shades of Ripley in Alien Ressurection with her hair that way, looked a lot more menacing, almost slightly evil?

The double bluff was brilliant, she really messed with David Ogden Stiers, and in such a great way. And now we have a full-on Replicator/Wraith war. Interesting.

Better than last week but not a patch on SG1 in its heyday.

I don't know, I think Atlantis has been more consistant than SG-1 ever was. Even the weaker Atlantis episodes are watchable, while SG-1 had almost entire seasons of dull stuff.

A great episode and it will be interesting to see how the Replicators fighting the Wraith turn out. I mean there must be a reason why that part of their programming was disabled.
Nice swansong for Weir and the double bluff was superb.
And the FX of Atlantis landing were superb. This show does look fantastic.

Much better than 4x01. Really interesting direction in the plot, great bluff with Weir. Atlantis really is coming into it's own now.
