Gatecast 180 SGA Before I Sleep

 It’s Elizabeths birthday something she kept quiet about but John has his methods and presents her with a hand made piece of pottery. Meanwhile the search for premium quarters in the city goes on with Rodney really looking for a balcony but they do find a lab with a stasis chamber intact but with an occupant. The woman looks very old and upon investigation it seems she has been asleep for around ten thousand years, infact since Atlantis was first abandoned and sunk beneath the waves.

They revive her and she is both aware and comprehending of the situation in fact she seems to know a lot more than she should including the personnel of the base and specifically Dr Weir herself but that is reasonable when they discover she is Elizabeth transported back in time and from another timeline and then set in motion the events as they transpired when this expedition arrived on the city.

Before I Sleep is an excellent episode of Atlantis and rivals some of the best of the whole

franchise, it has depth and emotion combined with a solid scifi story element and some top

notch make up and body double work. The use of footage from the pilot to add weight to

the story was well done and it was interesting to see those that would become the Ancients

during their darkest hour as the Wraith were coming close to victory. The introduction of the

time ship in this series also pays off with the similar ship seen in SG1 which is pivotal in it’s

season finale.

We got plenty of feedback for last weeks episode on Facebook and Brad sent us a nice long

voicemail for this weeks so the episode was a little long, I dropped the news and birthdays to

keep the show under an hour so enjoy and please let us know what you think. We’d love any

feedback especially audio and itunes reviews/ratings but no pressure:)
