Leaving his father’s funeral puts more strain on Sheppard’s relations with his brother – and his ex-wife. She works at the White House and he implores her to get him some inside info on the secret program that produced the Replicator. At first, she refuses, telling Sheppard that she has no need to help or worry about him anymore. Of course, she eventually does help and relates how concerned she is for Sheppard, maybe paving the way for future romance again?
Sheppard and Ronon track down the Replicator and eliminate it and head back home, but not before Sheppard makes an attempt to rectify things with his brother. It was an entirely predictable episode.
"Trio" featured Carter, Keller, and McKay trapped in an old Genii mining facility. They fall in through the ceiling so now the exit is a good twenty-five feet away from them. All they have to escape with is what they find in the room. At first, they decide to wait until they miss their check-in time, hoping Atlantis will then send a rescue team. But after discovering that the little room they’re in is supported on steel stilts and is weakening due to their arrival and the regular tremors that the planet suffers from, they realize they need to leave quickly before it collapses.
There are a lot of old crates in the room. Keller suggests they stack these up and climb out. The rickety pyramid collapses, nearly injuring Carter. McKay then finds a grappling hook and Carter finds some rope so they figure that will help them out. While they prep for the climb, some children come by but refuse to help because they’d get in too much trouble since they aren’t supposed to be playing near the area. During the conversation, though, McKay tries to tell Carter it might help the boys decide to help if she would, well, reveal a couple of things to the adolescents. She refuses and crushes McKay's fantasy again.

Hello Mr. Hunter:
I must say that I respectfully disagree with you that these two episodes were boring...personally, I am getting tired of every episode being about the war with the replicators and the wraith...it was rather refreshing to see that they are finally developing the characters...THAT was one of the reasons which made Stargate SG-1 so terrific!
Have a Very Stargate Day! :-))

As always, thank you for reading.
I do appreciate the character development for the fourth season. Obviously, I like the direction they are going with Ronon. Season Five should be interesting, too. They've got a few new characters to develop and still keep the team cohesive. Should be fun.
And SG-1 was the best!

I also enjoyed the character development in these two episodes. I'm certainly eager to see next weeks episode with Teal'c, I miss the SG1 crew. I'm also eagerly awaiting The Ark of Truth movie... It looks so good
