Stargate Atlantis 501 (Search & Rescue)

The season finale made it look like the team died in a collapsing building while attempting to rescue Teyla from Michael. I thought the season premiere was going to have something to do with time reversal or alternate reality, but they kept it more real. The building really collapsed and the team was trapped under rubble with some of them injured. Col. Carter led a rescue team to save them. Then the next part dealt with rescuing Teyla, who was pregnant when we left off last season. When they located her, Sheppard & Ronan fought off the Wraith hybrids and McKay was left to deliver the baby. Who didn't see that coming? That set up a some good comic relief as a panicky McKay had to be calmed by Teyla, who was in the middle of giving birth. The birth of the baby was sort of a cliffhanger because the audience wasn't sure what to expect... will it be normal? or will it be some hybrid due to Wraith tampering? I won't answer that one yet because it's too early and many of you may not have seen this yet! I'm just glad the 5th season has started up again. Finally, something to watch on TV.

I also want to take a moment to send my condolenses to the family of Don. S. Davis (General George Hammond) who passed away on June 29th from a heart attack at the age of 65. This came as a shock because he always looked strong and healthy on screen. Aside from Stargate SG-1, he's also been in X-Files and MacGyver.
