Season 5 - Episode 10 : First Contact

Daniel Jackson visits the city of Atlantis to research an Ancient scientist who once lived there. The Daedalus welcomes a Wraith ally for a special project.

Stargate SG-1's Dr. Daniel Jackson travels to Atlantis when his research suggests that a rebellious Ancient scientist named Janus may have hidden a secret lab somewhere within the city. Hoping to find it, and possibly a significant portion of his unauthorized research, Jackson enlists Dr. McKay's help. An obscure log entry leads them to a cloaked lab where they unwittingly activate a signal on a distant planet. Hours later, the city is paid a visit by a group of mysterious aliens.

Meanwhile Woolsey, along with Dr. Keller and Ronon, have joined Colonel Caldwell on board the Daedalus, leaving Sheppard in charge of Atlantis. They welcome Todd and his delegation to the ship to discuss testing Keller's gene therapy on live Wraith subjects. But events take a turn for the worse when Todd, suspecting them of betrayal, takes control of the Daedalus.

what exactly happened to the atlanteans?

[zetto11]

@jcdenton100 the atlanteans returned to the milky way tens of thousands years ago after several years/decades of siege with the wraith. some of them died naturel deaths most of them ascended. in the milkyway they ar known as ancients.

these promos made the show look bad and cheesy, I blame SciFi network for teaming up with NBC Universal, Comcast, and anything and everything as Irrelevant as Justin Beiber because being guilty by association is the only reason why all the good shows die from bad management. WHERE IS SGU? hummmmmm?

[jcdenton100]

@zetto11 so they left because they had been captured? Why did they just leave the city? Why didn't they destroy it? They could have given it to another race.

@bonecrime They did have the one that they used to knock out the SGC. Plus why would the Wraith want to use it. It seems to knock out everyone except the user. Doesn't make sense to knock out your own soldiers.

well i agree, but maybe its some high tech thingy that only a few exist.. very hard to make:D

[bonecrime]

That stun thing that Todd used in this episode annoys me. It was the only time such a device ever appeared in the show as far as I can remember. I don't like it when script writers do stuff like that just to make the plot work in a single episode. A stun weapon like that would be very powerful. If they had the tech, why wouldn't the wraith use it more often?

Wow I thought the Sci Fi TV previews gave away the plot, but this pretty much tells you the entire episode.
