Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the opening scene, when Vala (Claudia Black) says that Dr Jackson (Michael Shanks) "Doesn't look excited," Colonel Mitchell (Ben Browder) replies, "Trust me, like a kid who was up all night on Christmas Eve." Vala then replies, "I thought we imposed a moratorium on cultural references I wouldn't understand." This is a reference to Black and Browder's previous show Farscape (1999), in which Black's character was also an alien, and Browder's character was from Earth. On that show, he would constantly inundate her and the rest of the crew with Earth cultural references none of them could possibly understand.
- GoofsWhen Col. Carter is briefing the Atlantis team members regarding the Ori threat in the Milky Way, she says the threat was "here", which is impossible, as the Ori were unaware the Pegasus Galaxy was inhabited, so therefore had no interest in the Pegasus Galaxy.
- Quotes
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Well, it's like my grandma used to say, if at first you don't succeed...
Lt. Col. Samantha Carter: Try a larger thermonuclear reaction?
Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell: Her words exactly.

Eight "Ba-al" in Side Ori Pocket, Wrath on a Wraith!
I always thought those Ori ships looked like Pool Tables. Well, here in this Ep, Carter and Mitchell with the help of Rodney Mackay sink one into the side pocket, and snatch a Wraith-Ship-Boobie-Prize on the way out.
Back then, I was mostly P'd off that Sci-Fi had sunk Farscape in order to elongate Stargate SG-1, and I was non-plussed when Ben Browder and Claudia Black magically showed up. But now that I have seen all of their Stargate Eps, this was a smart move, and they fit right in, Claudia being perfect to bounce off of Mike Shanks- And bounce she does.
But the magic of this episode is the magic of connecting two shows and two galaxies: Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. If only there had been more crossovers like this, and there were in fact many crossover Eps. But this is possibly the best combined Ep of SG-1 and Atlantis that ever was.
As SG-1 arrives in the Pegasus Galaxy, the one thing that stands out is the magnificent image of Atlantis from the spaceship "Odyssey's" Bridge, you can see the full production value of the SG-1 Matte Painters and Digital Artists, who were just a few notches higher than Atlantis- Not to infer that Atlantis was done badly, but SG-1 had grown as a series and so they had the digital and Matte shots perfected, while it took Atlantis a few years to "rise up" to that level of quality.
That said, this story is a two-headed giant: While Vala (Claudia Black) and Daniel have a Tete-A-Tete with what they initially think is the Atlantis "Teaching Hologram" - Mitchell (Browder) and Carter drag Rodney Mackay off with them in the Oddysey so they can ignite one of the Ori's "SuperStarGates"- So they head out to the first black hole accretion disk they can find and start lobbing bombs through a regular Mini-Stargate to try to fire up the Superdupergate.
Teal'c has carefully chosen his donuts while he waits in the Milky Way for the bombs to show up, so now, we have a perfect 360 from Pegasus to Stargate Command to Teal'c and back to Pegasus via Teal'c. But the discussion can only travel one way because of the black hole! So Dr Weir (Torri Higgens) has to call Stargate Command who has to call Teal'c who can then call up the Odyssey - To tell em a Wraith ship is on the way!
Even if I had not said, you know there would have been a Wraith ship on the way, because they always show up.
Well - This episode cleverly disposes of both Wraith and Ori ships, and crimp the Ori's Galactic Domination plans until the end of the season - And all it took was One 8-Ball into the Side Ori Pocket!
Possibly the best written episode of the series, and I did not even hit on Daniel and Vala's adventures in Holography.
