Wish I could watching this reaction. I really like this arc. But I'm half a season behind!

Pretty late writing my thoughts on this one, but here goes. It sucks to lose Weir so soon after Carson died. At least like Sheppard said there's a chance she's still out there, but you seemed pretty sure even from part 1 that she was leaving the show. As you've seen 4x3 you know that Amanda Tapping being in the credits was what we were trying to hide, but like with Corin Nemec at the start of S7, Torri's name being a guest star clues you in that a cast change has occurred. This episode feels super compact as a story when you think about it. The make a PJ hyperspace capable, go to the replicator planet, grab a ZPM, go to another tower, install a virus, there's a fake out, Weir gets left behind, Atlantis gets a ZPM and lands on a new planet. Very straightforward. But like David said, it really get's your blood pressure up. Once the replicators adapt, there's just nothing they can do to hurt them. Being trapped 9 levels down and surrounded while Rodney tries to explain to Sheppard how to do what he could do 20x as fast if he were there, the tension is crazy high. At least Weir's sacrifice did accomplish something significant. Yeah, the replicators will be a problem after the Wraith are defeated, but they'd have to be dealt with eventually. Better they wear each other down in the mean time. Rodney's reasoning even before plan B was perfectly understandable. Even if pulling off that plan meant sacrificing Weir, she'd be the first to agree that if it meant saving millions of people from being culled, it was the right call. One thing I find confusing is that Rodney treats making the PJ hyperspace capable like it's some insurmountable feat that even the ancients could never solve. Humans built a hyperdrive into the X-302 merely 5 years into the stargate program. Granted, there's a lot more internal space in a 302 as opposed to a jumper which is basically a hollow shell(then again so are Tel'taks, albeit much larger), and perhaps the greatest challenge was power consumption which was the downfall of the 302 with it's naquadria reactor. Still with a ZPM, miniaturizing a hyperdrive for a jumper shouldn't have been a problem for the ancients. They built one with a time machine after all. I guess with them being designed to go through stargates, it wasn't a real consideration. Lastly, I like that Sheppard tells Teyla to stay because he trusts her the most to lead Atlantis if they don't come back. Teyla's development has been a very slow burn over the series, and it often feels like the writers just don't know what to do with her. It's nice to see the kind of faith John has in her as a leader. Weir was never my favourite, but it's still sad to lose a character, let alone 2 in one season. Still, excellent 3 parter.
