Hm
Stargate Atlantis
First off, I missed the team. Rodney had a cameo and the others were nowhere to be seen. Poor Ronon especially. Some fun action stuff and he misses it.
Secondly, the newly introduced female team. Well, I kinda got a look into what the PTBs probably mean when they say SGU will be more "youth-orientated" because, hello, two out of four people on that team looked WAY, way too young for their corresponding military rank. Captain with 21, huh? Do love Christina Cox though.
And why did they have Sheppard make a big thing about it in the beginning just to have a stupid joke in? The guy never really blinked at the fact that he had two female leaders or when he recruited a female for his team so why the big-eyed "giiiiirls?" reaction. Come on.
The flirtation between Porter and Carson was kinda weird and seemed tagged on.
The obnoxious gun-toting seargant was...obnoxious. And not because she was a woman but because of the personality would have been obnoxious on anybody. But I fear that she is EXACTLY the kind of character the writers envision for SGU. Urgh.
Otherwise, I do like people being confined somewhere and hunted by monsters. Of course I did wonder why they didn't just try and dial out. Gate broken?
So, this one gets a so-so from me. I would have liked it better with the actual team than with "spin-off test reel" team. Kinda reminded me of Highlander Season 6 where they did it in every episode.

The episode was saved only by the generous amount of Sheppard.

LOL When I was watching the episode, I kept thinking this was supposed to mean something--like something would come of it, that it was leading to some important story point or something, but...no. She was was. heh
I just found this episode to be extremely boring. They used a tired old story, but did nothing to make it unique or fun or interesting--and they didn't even have most of the main characters there, and it wasn't even really a John episode. He was just there, too. hehe
