Stargate Atlantis The Lost Tribe Part 2 Review


Knew they'd be shielded from the blast and Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) gets glass in his back.  Zulenka (David Nykl) comments on losing the stargate.  Todd (Christopher Heyerdahl) contacts Atlantis but Sheppard doesn't know why the gate blew up - where's Rodney (David Hewlett) when you need him?  Well he's miles away.  Rodney says the effect isn't seen here as there's no stargate on this planet. Dangerous radiation is created inside the gate.  Millions will die everytime the gate is is dialled.  Ooh Sheppard shirtless, now come on, gratuity if ever there was any! But who's complaining!!

Woolsey (Robert Picardo) awakes and is used to send a message to Atlantis.
Sheppard will give $5 to anyone who figures how to get in touch with Daedalus and Amelia (Sharon Taylor) says it's on screen now.  Though technically it wasn't her idea so she shouldn't get the money.
Todd will return his ship and crew if the device is shut down.  He's impressed as it was first used by the Ancients ten thousand years ago and its use wasn't continued with as humans would die.  Woolsey is the first one threatened to be killed.  Sheppard claims they didn't do it and Todd is the only one with the ship to deal with this.  Todd demands the coordinates to the planet.

Ronon (Jason Mamoa) opens the doors and intends on crippling the Daedalus and he knows how.  Katana (Daniella Alonso) is sent by Larrin as stargates are blowing up and they can use her ship.  Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) is left in charge.  Ronon shoots out the control systems and the ship drops out of hyperspace.
Daniel (Michael shanks) wants the device shut down, but the people aren't of any concern to the aliens.  They don't use gates and Daniel thinks they're no better than the Wraith. Their planet is dying and will have to venture out into the galaxy with the Wraith.

Mila [!] (Claire Robertson) is the chief engineer and she's only 16.  Jennifer (Jewel Staite) turns herself in for destroying the ship.  Daniel asks why they're still in their armour and the alien reveals himself as an Asgard.  Daniel has worked with them and they were a noble race.  The Asgard were clones going back generations and they conducted research on humans like Loki.  They were attacked by the Wraith and had to live in a toxic atmosphere planet.  They knew why the Ancients built the device.

Daniel says they can't justify what they're doing.  Todd claims to be on a mission for Sheppard.  Rodney must figure a way out and Daniel tells him taking on a third person is a sign of mental instability.  They have to escape and shut down the device.  Rodney suggests an explosion and Daniel asks why people would go rushing towards an explosion, well to put out any fires, rescue casualties...Rodney says he would.  They take the spare alien suits, one size fits all.

Sheppard is surprised Larrin never mentioned him.  The Wraith in the bay are locked out of the flight controls.  Rodney encrypted access to the work station and the aliens leave the planet.  Todd locks the Daedalus guidance system on a collision course with the planet.  Rodney pulls the control crystal manually and Todd leaves the Daedalus.  Sheppard needs the hyperdrive of the ship and takes the Daedalus into it and they travel through the planet.  Daniel is hit by a ray in the enclosure and both are beamed on board.  Woolsey wants the device destroyed.

Sheppard suggests Larrin can drop by.  He's a lot "more charming when my freinds are about to die."  Larrin talsk about him now and then.  Jennifer is interested in Rodney.  Daniel claims it's hard to get a fruitcup and is going back to Earth.  He thanks him for respecting Daniel when he thought he was about to die.  Rodney regretted Daniel being here and all this wouldn't have happened if he wasn't here.

Had to have been the Asgard as I mentioned in my earlier review for part 1, since Daniel was around and he's had dealings with them before in the past.  As with all races there had to be more bad Asgard out there so that shouldn't have been so shocking to Daniel.  mind you, they did believe they were doing the right thing for self preservation and seeing as the rest of their kind were involved in the mass suicide.  Rodney said Daniel's line to Ford (Rainbow Sun Franks) in the episode Runner, "...referring to yourself in the third person does indicate clinic dissociation."  Daniel met Loki in Stargate: SG1 episode Fragile Balance.
As for Sheppard taking the Daedalus on a jump through the planet that was similar to Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping) in season 5 Fail Safe ep, where she does the same to an asteroid on collision course with Earth, sending it into a hyperspace window and through the Earth.
