Every door in Atlantis seals at once. Communications, ventilation, sensors and internal transport all go down, the expedition is scattered across the city in pairs, and the one man everyone assumes will fix it is locked in the botany lab with no computer, no radio, and a diamond ring in his pocket. "Quarantine" is the 13th episode of Stargate Atlantis season 4, and it is a bottle episode in the strictest sense — the characters aren't merely on standing sets, they're physically sealed inside them. [**Lisa Jones**](https://sqpn.com/team_member/lisa-jones/), [**Jeff Haecker**](https://www.sqpn.com/team_member/jeff-haecker/) and [**Victor Lams**](https://www.sqpn.com/team_member/victor-lams/) work through why a talky, trapped-in-a-room hour lands here when so many don't. The answer is the pairings. **Rodney McKay** spends the crisis catastrophizing at **Katie Brown**, who stays patient right up to the point it becomes clear these two shouldn't marry. **Ronon** and **Dr. Keller** trade the worst things that ever happened to them — she was a child prodigy who never fit in, he lost everyone he knew to the Wraith — and nearly kiss. **Teyla** admits to **Sheppard** that she's frightened her son will grow up with no parents; Sheppard tells her the expedition is her family. **Carter** and **Zelenka** sweat out the lockdown in a transporter the size of a closet while he explains why nothing she suggests will work. Then there's the password. Sheppard reconstructs Rodney's from memory — Newton, Einstein, 1968, and 42 — and Teyla's reaction to the last one is the best beat in the episode. The panel also gets into how it was made. **Carl Binder** pitched the script to director **Martin Wood**, fresh off *Stargate: Continuum*, as "a parlor drama." The long sequence of doors sealing across Atlantis is one set of doors, redressed and reshot. The shutters in McKay's lab are CG, because that set has no practical windows. The transporter scenes took a day and a half in a four-walled box. And the tower climb is where the budget went after an effects-heavy stretch of the season — the one showpiece in an episode built to be cheap. It was also the first episode shot after the summer hiatus, which is why Teyla goes from barely showing to full maternity wear between episodes. Plus: Joseph Mallozzi's ultimate-starship-crew bracket on X pits Todd against Ronon, Michael Shanks announces a Stargate rewatch podcast with David Read of Dial the Gate, and Tori writes in about Kate Hewlett. The post Quarantine (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.
The Wraith don't breed. They're grown. Season 4's "Spoils of War" (S4E12) finally shows how, and Jeff Haecker, Lisa Jones, and Victor Lams weigh a cloning facility, a pregnant Teyla, and the episode where Sheppard names Todd. The post Spoils of War (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.
Atlantis aims Earth ships, Wraith hives, and Traveler vessels at the same planet in Stargate Atlantis S4E11. Victor Lams, Jeff Haecker, and Lisa Jones on the biggest battle the franchise ever staged, and the face in that last shot. The post Be All My Sins Remember’d (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.
Cut your hand and watch it close. That's the first sign Atlantis isn't Atlantis in Stargate Atlantis S4E10. Lisa Jones, Jeff Haecker, and Victor Lams weigh a sharp premise against an episode that talks its way straight through it. The post This Mortal Coil (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.
A dying girl, a father with a billionaire's resources, and nanites nobody finished coding. Jeff Haecker, Victor Lams, and Lisa Jones take apart Stargate Atlantis S4E9 — and the moment Sheppard hands a guilty man his own way out. The post Miller’s Crossing (SGA) appeared first on StarQuest Media.
