My Cable box had a fit, or the Sci Fi channel broadcast crashed. Either way, I missed both airings of this, and it makes me sad.

Atlantis does zombies. Enjoyable.

Yeah, the Wraith guards look pretty freaky without their masks - BTW, what happened to their hair? Or is that part of the mask too?

I thought this was going to be another "closure" episode with Todd this time around, but it does leave things pretty open-ended about his fate.

It was an ok, not fantastic, episode but much more enjoyable than the snoozer that was "Brain Storm"...

I thought it was pretty good, you can't go wrong with big fat wraith zombies. The story moved along at a decent pace and the dummy move with the iratus bug dna was done well. For a second i actually thought they go to a planet to sort this out and drag it out longer than it should have been.

I wasn't mad about the cgi for the crash though.

Pretty good, especially given it was another episode where some device/plague turns members/a race into killlers. It fitted in nicely with established continuity for once and Todd is always fun to have around - I like that they've re-established their almost-ally bonds with him.

*Yawn* Starting to get bored now!
Need a storyline that will stick - not this cack short stories

Wasnt very entertaining tbh. Wraith being a little bit scary again was interesting but... mediocore.

They look pretty similar but then again you can't do too much with bald and grey skin guys

Somebody please tell me what episode had a Deadolus from an alternate universe in it??? Did I miss that?

And every episode of Atlantis would benefit greatly in entertainment if they didnt have Rodney McKay squeeling about How Screwed they are and spitting out a big list of the most unlikely occurences to ever happen all at once. I mean gimme a break. How gullable are SG teams, they walk into trouble everywhere? And why do Extras get killed in every episode and no one seems to care? Carson dies and the whole station attends the funeral. An Extra gets eatin by a wraith and they leave the body to rot. They always find time to laugh about the mission back on Atlantis at the end of every show and talk about the valuable information they got. No one mentions the 3 or 4 people who die every episode.

I wasn't mad on this episode, I did like the Wraith going berserker cos they had to feed "properly", I found the end of the episode to be a little to "quick" it was all OMG we're all going to die. oh wait, everyone's fine bar a scratch or two. It'd have been more fun (IMO) to have seen them crash then have to sit there waiting till someone came to rescue them. I reckon they'd have drowned Rodney in the meantime
