Stargate Atlantis is not going to break any ground on acting, science or continuity, but as series, it is good, and it offers great episodes as this one.

After the death of doctor Beckett at the end of the previous episode, in this one seems as if nothing had happened. They are just in another mission, and instead of going through portals, in these last episodes they just go around the planet, finding more and more strange things. This time some underwater research facility. They go to check it out and Teyla has the feeling that some Wraith may be down there. McKay says that they have checked for signs of life and that there is no one there but they. But we, of course, know that this is not true, and, soon enough, all hell breaks loose.

The tension in this episode is good, the enemy makes more or less sense, but is interesting enough, and brings a sense of fear that others don't. The pace is frantic enough that things don't become boring and we don't have a moment to breath. But one advice: small corridors and people breaking up so they can be overcame easily is always a stupid recourse; on this occasion the show offers a twist on it, at least.
