Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt around 24:30, Sheppard says: "All we need now is for the prom queen and the kid in the wheelchair to wander off, and we're all set." In the dubbed German version, he states something completely different: "Now, only Norman Bates and his lady mother need to show up, and there we go!"
- GoofsSheppard is the military commander on Atlantis. As such, he would have signed off on all team assignments and carried out regular reviews with the team leaders. There is no way he could be unaware there was an all-female team under his command.
- Quotes
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: [True to the horror genre, people have disappeared] Great, now all we need is for the prom queen and the kid in the wheelchair to wander off and we're all set.

The one where things turn rather creepy...
'Whispers'~ Season five, episode seven
In what has to be one of the most creepiest episodes seen in mainstream science-fiction, we see Sheppard and Beckett joining an all-female SG team to investigate a seemingly desolate planet where they believe Michael has been conducting his experiments from within an underground chamber that tunnels to an abandoned village.
This episode introduces Major Anne Teldy and her team of 'the best' (who, she tells a stunned Beckett and Sheppard, were hand-picked because she knows women are the best) and they are depicted to be interesting, well-fleshed out characters who give our two guys a run for their money. It's a shame the show ended as it did as it would have been great to see Teldy's team again. I would have loved to have seen McKay and the gung-ho Sergeant Mehra interact! Light-hearted moments aside, there are many scenes in 'Whispers' which are genuinely chilling and this is certainly one episode not aimed at young fans of the show. It is an episode that veers more towards horror than sci-fi but it's handled well and the grim atmosphere does succeed in helping the audience to empathise with the characters' terror.
