Trivia:

Connor Trinneer was unable to reprise his role of Michael because of personal reasons, so Brent Stait stepped in. However, Trinneer later re-dubbed the character in post-production.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: (At 27:30) When the Daedalus jumps into hyperspace, just after the failed attempt to use the gas on the enemy ship, you can see the constellation of Orion and the Pleiades star cluster in the background. That is impossible, as they are not visible from the Pegasus galaxy.

Quotes:

Wraith Scientist: Without your help, this damage may have been irreparable.
Dr. Rodney McKay: Ah, finally an alien race that appreciates me!

Brilliant

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

the sfx are amazing... A wraith hive basically contact Atlantis under the cover of establishing an alliance, the single hive ship is supposed to be allied with others in the wraith civil war. The hive is Michael's hive (this is a follow up of Michael and inferno) and they want the Atlantis's teams help in defeating their common enemies, using Beckett's retro virus.

We see the orion flying through sub space again, it has its hyper drive and engines running, but no weapons :(. The Daedalus is fine, although it suffers damage when it is revealed that the alliance was an elaborate ruse to get info to get to earth and upgrade their hyper drive engines.

Lets see, Ronan and Mckay are captive and Sheppard is MIA...the funny thing is I haven't given a lot of the episode away, as it is a two parter...
