- Quotes
Dr. Bill Lee: What about the Daedelus? It's on a return voyage to the Milky Way. We could use them to relay the trans... ah no, wait... no way they're close enough, even with their long range transmitters.
Major General Hank Landry: You'll find another way to get the message to them.
Dr. Bill Lee: I will?
Major General Hank Landry: Of course you will. It's what I pay you for.

Mixed feelings about this one
Overall this was a good episode, but I felt that it was a bit far fetched for a couple of reasons.
I didn't like the way the Trust operative had successfully sabotaged the Atlantis systems multiple times, seemingly out-smarting Rodney at each and every turn. That was too difficult to believe for me.
Secondly, I didn't really know what to make of Kavanagh's character. In a professional environment, you can't speak to your immediate superior like that, never mind the person in charge of the whole organisation. In this epsiode, he is either guilty of sabotage, or he is guilty of wasting everyone's time by behaving in the way that he does. His behaviour in previous episodes was already enough to have had him thrown off the project, IMO.
The episode had some big pluses though. One aspect that caught my eye was how the men treated Lt. Cadman. She consistently demonstrated that she was doing her job, and doing it well, and yet the men either didn't see that, or they didn't want to acknowlege it. Perhaps it was just Rodney, because he still hadn't got over having her in his head, but it did make me wonder how often women have to face that kind of treatment in real life.
The other really big plus was that the episode successfully kept you guessing about who the "bad guy" was. That aspect worked really well.
