“Oh Crap…”
In a season when every episode has been great, this episode of Stargate Atlantis was stellar. Replicator grown version of the key Atlantis members? O.k that’s interesting.
A replicator civil war? huh that’s neat.
The return of Dr. Weir? Cool..
Massive replicator fleet? wowza
We’ve got so many moving parts here..it’s a vastly more complex tapestry then Stargate SG-1 ever had in its years of battle with Ga’ould. The big question in this whole episode however…where was Col. Carter? If there is one disappointment in season 4 so far it’s the low profile Carter has had overall.
I can hardly wait the 4 weeks till the next episode

Dr. Keller is a wimp.
We’ve known this all along this episode just re-enforces that simple fact -Jewel Staite was a wimp as Kaylee in Firefly too..so nothing wrong with that..she’s been typecast that way.
That said..another great Stargate Atlantis episode..two huge revelations in this episode though which will make it pivotal for the rest of the season.
#1 Where are the Ethosians?
#2 Tayla is PREGNANT!

At first we thought that this was going to be yet another amnesia episode…the kind we’ve seen a few times over ten years on Stargate SG-1.
Tabula Rasa is better. The name Tabula Rasa itself is never mentioned in the episode, a quick Wikipedia lookup shows that it means – “Tabula rasa (Latin: scraped tablet or clean slate) refers to the epistemological thesis that individual human beings are born with no innate or built-in mental content, in a word, “blank”, and that their entire resource of knowledge is built up gradually from their experiences and sensory perceptions of the outside world.”
That’s exactly what this episode is about – the Atlantis expedition figures out what they’re supposed to do piece by piece – with clues they left themselves..and the easy plot out that Tayla and Ronen are immune (sort of like in STar Trek when Data is immune in the amnesia episodes).
Still a gripping and entertaining episode easily a 3.75 out of 5 stars.

Another great episode – reminded me alot though of when Daniel Jackson got captured by V’alla (the first time). Will the new *hottie* (Larrin) end up in Col. Sheppards arms? As a member of Stargate Atlantis? I sure hope so.
So now we’ve got yet another human race in Pegasus that is advanced and not yet totally destroyed by the Wraith…are they descendants of the ancients somehow? maybe. ARe they going to come back in a massive Atlantian alliance with the Setians, Jennai, Replicators and others to annihilate the Wraith?? only time will tell…
Ohhh and where was Col.Carter this whole episode????
Stargate Atlantis 4×4 Doppelganger – October 20, 2007

Doppelganger of course is a term for someone that has the same name as another person – but isn’t the same person…
Having Col. Sheppard ..or EVIL Sheppard as was the case at the doppelganger here was neat..since he’s usually goody two shoes….not as good as say a mirror universe Sheppard…but still solid fun..
Weak episode overall though as we still know nothing about the crystal entity? what did it want? why was it trying to get into their heads?? All the crystal was used for here was as a plot mechanism for EVIL sheppard and not as a way to expand the knowledge of the Pegasus Galaxy – and that just plain sucks.

Another solid episode – once again Ronon shows his true colors AND
Col. Carter FINALLY TAKES COMMAND!!! Hurray!
We also get a nice little cameo from T’ealc. Did we know before this episode that the Wraith could make humans live forever? I think so..but apparently that won’t help heal flesh wounds (so what good is it really?)

What a great episode. They get the ZPM and save Atlantis but lose Dr. Weir – or do they?
We all knew that Weir would be losing command of Atlantis this year -the way she has left leaves lost of possibilities for her return.
Maybe Weir will be a Stargate version of Picard’s Locutus – but this time her mission is leading the replicators against the wraith as opposed to the assimiliation or destruction of humanity. Time will tell.
Not sure why Stargate Command left Atlantis without a commander at the end o fthis episode we all know that Col.Carter (Amanda Tapping) takes over…guess there needs to be some kind of dramatic twist that needs to occur first.
