Episode 172 SGA The Storm + The Eye

 An intense storm is heading towards Atlantis and without full shielding the intricate

construction of the city will not withstand the huge forces mother nature has in store. The

decision is made to evacuate the city and the Athosians on the mainland to a nearby friendly

world for the duration with a handful remaining to attempt an almost hail mary pass by

harnessing the lightning strikes to provide the energy the shield generators require.

The Genii take this opportunity to stage a raid on Atlantis with a stolen IDC code and lead by

Commander Kolya a ruthless and dedicated officer a small strike force take control and hold Weir,

Mckay and a few others hostage. Things get a little complicated when Koyla realises he may be

in a position to take the whole city for his people if the lightning experiment is a success but

in the meantime the fly in the ointment aka John Sheppard is doing his impression of Die Hard

and removing the threats to his home and co-ordinating a counter strike with a lone jumper and

her crew who are returning from the mainland.

The Storm and The Eye are together an absolutely fantastic story but what really makes them

special is that taken separately they both hit the highest marks in narrative, performance and

production from the Stargate Atlantis team. The return of the Genii is perhaps quicker than you

might expect but then again why delay, the writers had a story thread with Sora and Teyla and

pure genius to imagine a hurricane as a story device which has a natural break built in.

Robert Davi is pretty much awesome as Koyla, he delivers both the style and

menace you would expect from a Pegasus human black ops commander and even better he will be

appearing in upcoming episodes as an equal to John as do the Genii in opposition to

the expedition.

This week we chose to release both episodes as a single feature length episode, we had the

opportunity to record with Jeff making allowances for the time differences

so they were recorded on the same day and it all felt right. We also had a small poll and

that returned more votes for a feature so here we are.
