Stargate Atlantis 4.11
So all this season I have asked myself, “Where the hell is Carter?”
I mean, she is there, she’s in the credits, she shows up in scenes, but this is NOT Colonel Samantha Carter. So far this season, she has been more an administrator than a Colonel in the US Air Force. While serving on SG-1 for Stargate Command on Earth she was a formidable soldier, tactician and brilliant scientist.
It hasn’t been until tonite that the old Carter has come out. Tonite, Atlantis has the means to track all the Aurora Class Replicator ships in the Pegasus Galaxy and they have been going after them one by one with newly installed Asgard “phasers”.
Rodney comes up with a brilliant plan to attract rather than separate replicator nanites to render them almost inert due to the density of the attraction between nanites, creating a super-blog of replicators. Now what to do with them. First they have to figure out what to do with the 30 or so ships that will be in orbit. It will take a while for a large enough “blob” to attract the ships in orbit into the blob. So, they’ll have to blast them out of the sky at the same time they are forming the blob. Shepard has a plan to ask the Wraith to join in the fight. In the course of negotiating with the Wraith, John runs into an old “friend” who happens to have an Aurora class warship. So now the odds are better, but certainly no equal.
On another note, we find out that Teyla is pregnant. Hmmm…who is the dad?
Rodney creates a Atlantian version of a human replicator to act as the initial attractant. Meanwhile, Rodney and a crew needs to rig the ZPMs on the Replicator homeworld to explode around the blob and destroy it. Of course at the last minute during this brilliant plan, the mass is so big, it starts to sink and affects the underground power conduits that there is now a blackout and the ZPMs are no longer able to explode.
So Carter and Rodney come up with a new plan, all the ships in the “alliance” hyperspace away and planet explodes.
On a side note, cute alert, Christopher Marks once again reprises his role as Navigator on the Daedalus.
