SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

401: Adrift 2007 September 28
(First watched 2007-09-28) Nice. A bit standard, but I enjoy watching the Atlantis team at crisis management.
The scenes with Carter and Dr. Lee felt really tacked-on. Obviously as the cast addition they didn't want to leave her out, but it reminded me of that woman from Riding With Death watching the action on a screen during the second half of the movie. I imagine it will pay off a bit more as this crisis concludes next episode.

(First watched 2007-10-05) Acceptable. Not as many twists of problems as last episode, but it moved along some plot points. Weir (anti-Locutus?) is stuck with the Pegasus Replicators, who are now fighting the Wraith due to reactivated code. Atlantis is on a new planet (Five moons; two visible. Safe but for a large poisonous snake/reptile on land, which I'm guessing we'll see sooner or later.). Sam isn't officially part of the Atlantis team yet; I suppose that's next episode.
So this didn't strike me before, really, but considering this should be after the SG-1 movies, I guess the Atlantis Season 3 finale also must've taken place at that time. So even that early in a fictional sense the Ori had been taken care of, and whatever happens in Continuum had happened. This isn't the first time the SG-1/Atlantis tracks have been a bit uneven, like when SG-1 Season 9 began, then was immediately followed by an Atlantis conclusion that actually took place weeks prior.
Also, more Bill Lee! I don't suppose he'll be transferring over with Sam, but it's nice to see him again.
