Stargate Atlantis 217 & 218 - Coup D'etat & Michael

So the coup was real after all?

Good episode, but considering the next one, it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.

Nice hints of something being wrong from the beginning here.

Interesting that this episode is pretty much from Michael’s perspective. Kind of necessary to preserve the twist, but it takes you out of it a bit since we haven’t seen him before

Is this the same Psychiatrist Barbie as before?

Kind of random McKay appearance.

Yeah, Kate is a recurring character.

Notice the position of Michael’s hand when he took Teyla down there.

Nice work from Connor Trinneer here.

I didn’t see it, but I remember reading somewhere that one of the notes on Carson’s calendar there was “Date with Laura” or something like that. Nice bit of continuity if it’s true.

Changing the camera angle on that security recording was kind of jarring.

Nice fog over Atlantis in that establishing shot. Only time I can remember seeing that one.

Nice cliffhanger ending.
