Stargate Atlantis 119 & 120 - The Siege

10:00 PM – The Siege Part 1
“See, why can’t we just call it ‘Planet Waterfall’? What? I say we should just give them names.”

11:00 PM – The Siege Part 2
“Look, you show up here with your guns and your brush cuts, but when it comes to actually saving the city, you turn to the scientists. And every time, what you ask is impossible.”

Bump for tonight.

Siege Part 1 was the first complete episode of any Stargate series I saw, so this one’s a big deal for me.

Yeah, no undue pressure. :wink:

Nice little conversation with Rodney and Radek here.

“I realize I’m invaluable everywhere.” :smiley:

Bates is an asshole, but he’s not malicious about it. He’s not even all that wrong.

Not effective enough? That looks pretty damn effective to me.

“Looked an awful lot like a T-rex, sir.” Cracks me up every time.

They were going to show the T-rex, but that would have been too expensive.

Makes sense that Halling would bring this up, but I’m glad they didn’t make a bigger plot point of it than this.

“Yep, that’s permanent back damage.”

Nice gag with the gravity.

And they’re all wearing red shirts so we can’t tell which (if any) is going to die in this episode. :wink:

“you have to give me more than 8 percent.”

“maybe 9 percent…” :smiley:

A lot of the stuff they had deciphered was sent to the SGC in Letters From Pegasus, wasn’t it?

The Ancients really didn’t design for ease of maintenance, did they?

Rock, Paper, Scissors doesn’t really work with 3 people.

I thought so, but I’d guess the translated stuff was a very small percentage of the total.

Nice establishing shot there. Nice to see something other than middle of the day and middle of the night.

Yeah, but it should at least help a little bit.

And that Dart pass is just a taste of next episode. :slight_smile:

A reverse angle ladder like that stretch there is a really bad idea.

Kind of had an idea of what was going to happen at this point, but they could still hope.

Teyla can do creepy pretty well.

And here we go with the Ancient superlaser. Sliced the Hive ship right in half.

Great job ramping up the tension at the end of the episode.

So, this new guy is a condescending ass…

Why didn’t they have Jack on the radio? Wouldn’t have taken long and might have made this guy seem like less of an ass.
