Are they wanting us to believe that they've killed off O'Neil?

I'm kinda wondering if the "Ancients" are more Replicators. Haven't we seen that chick before?

I was wondering that too.
Okay,actually, I thought that the promos SAID that but obviously, I wasn't paying very close attention to the promos.

Yeah, I just assumed the "Ancients" were replicators. Maybe they're working together with the replicators who are attacking the city? Because if the SG folks had been there, they would have prepared much better for the attack, whereas the Ancients hardly did anything to defend themselves.
Tonight's SGA had some great team moments, even if they did include way more Beckett than I would have liked.

The Ancients tend to be kind of smug. On the other hand, maybe someone could have mentioned to them that the Atlantis team had been mucking around with the Replicators' programming.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I confess, I hated that episode of SGA. It was sooooo slooooooow. There were lots of loooong awkward scenes with two people standing around pretending that their dialogue had any impact. Everything everybody said was exactly what they meant, and nobody lied or did a nice plot twist or or made a gigantic, pants-down, fast-talk panic-moment mistake. The "plot thickens" Act I ender? Happened at the end of Act II.
People, nothing blew up!!
I seriously think that episode was written at the last minute to cover the fact the show didn't have enough budget for an action sequence. That's me being nice, and assuming it wasn't intended to be that boring.

I don't think Replicators would be able to psychically activate Atlantis' systems as if they were Ancients. More likely, we just saw the latest in a long string of examples of the Ancients' amazing foresight and resourcefulness in dealing with their scientific experiments. t /sarcasm
Ah well, at least this likely solves the depleted ZPM problem for some time to come.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, they created the ZPM problem last week to solve it this week. At least they planted the Gate Chunnel earlier in the season (they've had pretty good continuity this season, it seems to me.)
I think TPTB think Carson is more a part of the team than the audience (or, at least, I) do.
I didn't mind the slow, but, then, I like character stuff.
Also, FIC-BAIT!!! 5 or 6 different kinds, and that's without the "completing the episode" thing. It's also canon now that John can quote Princess Bride (I can't place that line, though. Is it in the film version? If so, where?)
I loved that their civvies reflected their Atlantis uniform colors.
Yeah, SG1 was very LotR meets Indiana Jones (and, were this it, Angel). I called the "she has no powers" thing long before Daniel did, but good on him for listening to me and saying, "yes". I was saying, "push her off the bridge", too, though, but I guess that's not dramatic.
I understand that it's an effects shot, but she needed to throw the stones until they stuck at each turn. That is the prudent thing to do.
