Title: Sateda
Directed by: Robert C. Cooper
Written by: Robert C. Cooper
Original Air Date U.S.: August 4, 2006 (Sci Fi Channel)
Original Air Date Canada: February 10, 2008 (Space Channel)
Synopsis: When Ronon becomes a prisoner offworld, his captors hand him over to the Wraith, who take him to his homeworld. There, he is forced to once again become their prey, but witness to his capture, Sheppard's team races to Sateda to return him to his new home.
***********************************************
All I can say is YES - they finally get to wear cool uniforms!
Sheppard - black leather jacket.
The others - black Stargate uniforms.
I don't like the black uniforms on SG-1, but they're perfect for Atlantis. They actually looked good tonight, not like Star Trek wannabe's. Unfortunately in the preview for next week it looks like their back to their old clothes again. Bleh.
Although Teyla's uniform bugs me, because you know its only purpose is to try to sell the show on sex appeal to certain audience members. I can understand her wearing the more revealing clothes if they came from her own wardrobe, but I don't think that black low-cut tank top came from her own wardrobe and why would none of the other personnel be wearing that kind of tank top if it was available to them? No, Teyla should have been wearing a standard Stargate uniform like the others.
Other than that, it was a great episode for Ronan's character. It did good to make him seem more human. Although most of those flashbacks I found annoying, the ones that lasted longer to allow us to understand his past, especially the one in the hospital where his girlfriend or wife or whatever she was got blown away. I did feel sympathy for his character. And I loved his reaction when he got in the puddle jumper at the end. Good ol' Carson.
I absolutely loved the talk at the table between Sheppard and Teyla. That was sweet.
