Stargate Atlantis #501 - "Search and Rescue" SPOILERS
Yes, this is spoiler information on the first episode of season five of Stargate Atlantis. I suspect by this time tomorrow it will be all over the web. Anyway, do NOT read if you want to avoid spoilers.
However, I will say that I believe Lorne fans will be happy....
S P O I L E R S !!!
Guest characters include CAPTAIN ALISON PORTER (USAF Captain), TAYLOR, AMELIA (female gate technician), LT. EDISON, LORNE, KANAAN, MICHAEL (yes, that Michael).
As usual, information is subject to total change, names included, so take info with grain or two of salt ;)
Sheppard has returned from the future (“The Last Man”), and, CAPTAIN ALISON PORTER, listed as 28 years old and "attractive and fiery" has been there a week and is bored and says as much to Carter, who is still in command from the looks of it.
Boredom is halted when LT. EDISON returns through the gate, all dusty and whatnot. Apparently, in information not available (the teaser of the episode) Sheppard’s team (or at least part of it) found MICHAEL's nefarious compound, which has subsequently exploded. With the Daedalus hours away, Carter authorizes a rescue team and assigns Keller and PORTER to it.
Meanwhile, the team has problems. Lorne is injured, and a claustrophobic McKay is trapped with him.
And then there's a big info gap… and we next find MICHAEL in his ship, along with KANAAN (Teyla's main squeeze??) and they discover that Michael's secret compound has been found by the Lanteans. This could work to his advantage. So MICHAEL sends down some darts to attack. Carter (who went on the rescue mission) and the rescue team manage to find Lorne and McKay but two others are trapped.
Alas, outnumbered, outgunned, the Lanteans must retreat to orbit in cloaked jumpers and wait for the calvary (aka the Daedalus) to arrive.
And guess what? Yup, big gap here and then the very end…
PORTER, still bored, invites Keller for some drinks.
And Carter runs into McKay on the way to Teyla's room. And from the sounds of it, he delivered Teyla's baby.
And that's it. Again, all subject to change and interpretation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The information is sketchy, and I'm reserving judgement, but PORTER (or whatever she will be named) sounds like a Cadet Hailey (from SG1) clone. Brilliant but with an attitude that quite frankly I don't think Weir would have tolerated. Woolsey would be turning purple ;) Anyway, Leela Savasta , who played Dr. Esposito in "Tao of Rodney," apparently has the role. You can see photos of her, see her resume (she's done several Battlestar Galactica's as well) at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2086012/.
Meanwhile, the whumper in me goes LORNE WHUMP! Yes, he's hurt! Trapped with McKay! I'm not sure where Sheppard, Ronon and Teyla are, although if Rodney did deliver the baby, that would mean Teyla was there, and I suspect, Sheppard as well.
And uh, Atlantis has a bar? I mean, if Porter suggests drinks with Keller (since she knows no one else on base and I guess maybe they did some bonding.
However, I will say that I believe Lorne fans will be happy....

Hmm....
Sheppard has returned from the future and things are kind of hectic in the city of Atlantis. To make matters worse, Lt. Edison returns to the base without the rest of his team. They were trapped when the compound they were in off-world exploded. Edison is not certain of how many, if any, survivors there are because he lost radio contact with them. Carter gathers several teams for a Search and Rescue operation because the Daedalus is two hours away. The S&R team consists of new military member Capt. Alison Porter, combat engineers, and Dr. Jennifer Keller’s medical away team.
Trapped in the debris are Maj. Evan Lorne and Dr. Rodney McKay. The S&R teams have used three Puddle Jumpers in their operation, and once rescued, McKay pilots one with Carter as co-pilot, Keller and Porter riding behind them, and Lorne and some Marines occupying the seats in the back compartment. While they head for their Jumper, they are attacked by several Wraith darts that are under the command of Michael in his cruiser. The Wraith activate the Stargate, preventing the teams’ escape. The teams realize that the Wraith are also after the survivors who are still trapped on the planet and must be dug out (McKay said that two people remain trapped). Fortunately, the Jumpers are cloaked, but cannot engage twenty darts without great risk, so they decide to hide in orbit and await the arrival of the Daedalus.
Michael has as part of his cruiser crew Kanaan, the Athosian father of Teyla’s son (Gateworld actually has one line slightly different in that they say "...and Kanaan, the Athosian who Teyla believes fathered her child"). As it turned out, McKay delivered the baby, who returns to Atlantis with his mother. The excited McKay encounters Carter in the hallway on his way to see Teyla with flowers in his hand. Carter teases him that there are rumors that Teyla was going to name the boy “Rodney”, avoiding his question about why she is carrying a couple of bags. In the meantime, Porter tries to make new friends in the Lost City of Atlantis.

Also not thrilled about the casting news for Porter. You're not the only one being reminded of Cadet Hailey. And about the same age too, in spite of being a Captain. Can't they find any older looking actresses out there anymore? Or are they just catering to the "eye-candy" demographic now?
Re: Hmm....
but it will be interesting to see how everybody interprets the information as it comes out.

But, that would like require sense on the parts of JM & PM. And, JM certainly seems above that. :p
Re: Hmm....

I was hoping against hope for something new from teh stuff thats been out there...um..the McKay and Lorne storyline sounds cool, but it would seem the "The Last Man" is this very gripping eppy and this begins with
..."and Sheppard returns from the future"....eeep. Like no big deal.
Hopefully Teyla, Ronon and Sheppard have I dunno bigger roles then this Porter person who goes on the rescue?
Maybe the gaps are just that. I won't get too annoyed this is freaking Sept I suspect and we still haven't seen season 4 to the end yet, but this spoiler has left me feeling...um..not so thrilled.
Though I don't plan on reading any spoilers past this for season 5 if I can help it.

Now that I feel uneasy about, this may be the only eppy I'll keep an eye out just because of the uneasy feeling I have about it now.
But yes typically give me an idea what an eppy is...and hats all I want to know.

Am thus far underwhelmed by Miss
EspisitoPORTER, but time will tell. And Female Chuck's name is Amelia? I so want them to pull aGrahamDave on that. But nice that they're considering giving Female Chuck a name.no subject
But I do wish they'd thought of bringing Cadman back. She was gorgeous and very, very cool.
I too am concerend by the "And then John sauntered back from the future and never thought about it again. Ever." thing.
But still, season five!!!! Episode 100!!!!
Yay!

KimberlyFDR you must get sick of having to correct me all the time...Cheers mate.

Actually, I think they do it deliberately so we have plenty of fodder for canon gap filler fic. ;)
Seriously though, the worst one was Seige...where have all the ancients gone? Oh, they died. Moving right along...
In NZ they split the season so the mid year hiatus is actually our end of season. So it was even more jarring for having to wait six months...wondering what Atlantis under the original management would be like...I felt like I'd been pick pocketed or something. Tres sucky.

Thanks!!
By the way, Porter has now become Vega...according to JM.
