Both nice episodes.

SG-1: I didn't see Morena Baccarin coming, and it was a nice surprise, and yeah, the episode was very entertaining.

Atlantis: When we found out the ship was Anctient, and with the replicators in the "Previously on..." bit, I was like "Oh, they're replicators", and I was very pleasantly surprised when it turned out they weren't, and that gate bridge thingy was kinda cool.

Really liked the Atlantis episode. It looks like the did the two parter right unlike so many writers. They spent the first episode building up to the second, and not giving us all of the "wham bang" in the first half. Can't wait for the conclusion.

SG-1 I really enjoyed as well if for no other reason than one bit of dialogue;

"Do you really want to test me?"

"Uhh.. Yeah."

The "Atlantis" episode was definitely stronger than the "SG-1". I'm more intrigued to see what happens there than the SG-1 conclusion.

Agreed Brikar. I've noticed that I've felt that way about most episodes this season. Despite my gripes with a couple of the Atlantis episodes, they've been generally stronger than SG-1. I don't know why they chose to cancel it when they did, I mean had the writers and all known before they started working on this season, I think the episodes would probably have been alot better than they are. As it is, they seem sort of chaotic like the writers don't have any real plan about where it's all going.

It's not so much chaotic, but the storylines are moving at a much slower pace because I think the writers were banking on having another season to close everything out. I seem to recall reading somewhere that Sci-Fi had initially told them to count on a Season 11.
