Stargate Atlantis season five mid-season spoilers  

I haven't posted many spoilers for the new SGA season. Well, there's too much going on on BSG and House for me to keep track.
Gateworld has published an article about the highly anticipated mid-season parter with Michael Shanks as a guest star.

Spoilers below...

Copied/pasted from GW's.



New info arrived this week for "The Lost Tribe," the eleventh episode of Stargate Atlantis's upcoming fifth season -- and the second half of the big, big mid-season two-parter. Along with part one, "First Contact," the episode will guest star Stargate SG-1's Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson.

As we reported previously, Daniel will visit the city of Atlantis in "First Contact" to do historical research on Janus, the Ancient scientist who invented a time-traveling Puddle Jumper and who helped save Dr. Weir when she traveled 10,000 years into Atlantis's past ("Before I Sleep").

Since we don't know how the events of part one unfold, watch out for spoilers for that episode as we look at part two, "The Lost Tribe:"

Daniel and Rodney McKay have discovered a research laboratory on another planet. The lab once belonged to the Ancient scientist Janus, who tended toward inventions and experiments that the other Lanteans did not look upon favorably. And, much to their surprise, Daniel and Rodney are not the only ones there.

Meanwhile, "Todd" the Wraith (guest star Christopher Heyerdahl) has seized control of the power Earth battlecruiser Apollo, which has been outfitted with Asgard transporters, weapons, and defensive technology. Though he and his forces have subdued the ship's 200-person crew, Ronon and Keller still remain at large. Todd accesses the ship-wide P.A. system and threatens to begin killing crew members unless they turn themselves in.

Todd is on his way to Janus's laboratory, where he hopes to shut down a device (called the "Attero device") that is threatening his new alliance. Racing to get there first is Atlantis's Colonel John Sheppard and Dr. Zelenka, who know that Todd has hijacked their ship and is on his way to the facility. The two of them have joined up with a Travelers ship ("Travelers"), under the command of a Traveler captain named Katana.

In the hopes of getting his ship's hyperdrive running at maximum output, Katana brings Zelenka and Sheppard into the aged and cluttered engineering room and introduces them to his chief engineer -- Mila, who is only 15 years old. Mila has been working with the hyperdrive engine since she was 4 years old, and is a brilliant young woman who will do whatever is necessary to get the job done. Where Radek is cautious and doubtful that the job can get done (safely, at any rate), Mila shows him otherwise.

If they cannot reach Janus's lab before Todd does, Daniel and McKay may not survive.




WOW! Sounds great!!! It seems season five is going to be quite spectacular!
