Stargate Atlantis Season 4 *Spoilers*

[Lord_Trekie]

Trio:
Episode 16.

Spoiler

The trio of the title refers to Rodney, Sam and Jennifer as they all fell underground.
Rodney is living a man's fantasy of being trapped with two women.
Those kids were so irritating for not helping them because they did not want to get into trouble with their parents.
Very funny when Rodney, in the game that Sam and Jennifer were playing, responded on having to choose between Robert Redford and Paul Newman!
The way they got out of there is satisfying.
Funny at the end that Rodney did not get the hint of Jennifer asking him to have a drink with her.

Was definitely another of my favorites from Season 4, definitely better than season 5's ep 13 that I just watched...

Ahmen to that! awful episode imo :/

tho did bring up some good memories that made me sad the series is leaving us

Midway:
Episode 17.

Spoiler

Teal'c meets Ronon. Never occured to me that such a meeting would ever happen since I never thought of Ronon as being the Teal'c of Atlantis despite the similarities between the two.
The two characters definitely worked well together. Funny moments include Ronon pulling a gun on Teal'c leading to Sheppard to tell him to put the gun down and Teal'c and Ronon watching the Three Stooges!
In the midst of Teal'c and Ronon getting to know each other the Wraith invades Midway and the SGC which showed the two worked well together against adversity.
Funny during Ronon's interview with the IOA when Coolidge whether he can obey his superiors with Ronon simply saying "Yes".

The Kindred Part 1:
Episode 18.

Spoiler

Michael being the mastermind behind a plague could have been a surprise if it weren't for the fact that Connor Trinneer's (who plays him) name had appeared in the credits.
Very good use of Teyla in the storyline here.
A very good build-up to the cliffhanger which has the team finding.....Carson Beckett.

The Kindred Part 2:
Episode 19.

Spoiler

What a surprise that this Carson Beckett is a clone.
Quite ironic Jennifer saving Nabel Golen's life considering that he did try to kill her in Missing. Well she did say in Missing that as a healer she needed something to heal!
Despite being the concluding episode of The Kindred, Michael's captivity of Teyla is not over as he escaped with her and it is too bad Carson couldn't stop him.
Very harrowing the seeing Carson's last few moments just before he went into the stasis pod.
I am thinking that things are being left open-ended for him to see whether Paul McGillion can return to play Carson before the series end or in the subsequent DVD movies.

McGillion does appear again in season 5, but not as often as one would hope, or at least as often as I'd hope... And I loved Jennifer's comment.

The Last Man:
Episode 20. Finale of season 4.

Spoiler

Sheppard accidentally went far far in the future.
Very depressing hologram of old Rodney recounting what happened in Sheppard's absence.
Michael holding a Wraith's head seemed reminiscent of a scene from Conan the Barbarian.
Very sad seeing Sam making a suicide attack against the Wraith.
Felt a relief when Sheppard came back to his own time which leads to a brilliant cliffhanger.
