(June 7, 2021)The opening scene is a direct ripoff of Luc Besson's superb sci-fi action thriller The Fifth Element" (1997). Specifically, it is the opening scene in that film which the writer stole the scene from. Still, this is a decent episode and worth watching.

"The Brotherhood"
allmoviesfan23 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Not as good as the previous episode, but you get through to the end, through all the usual drama that comes with strange races and the ever-present Wraith threat, and you realise it's only the beginning of the crisis - cool mini-cliffhanger to whet our appetites for the next episode.
This episode sees the return of the Genii, who are always looking for ways to cause Sheppard and co trouble - you can always guarantee there'll be drama and some good action when the Genii are involved. And it also guarantees that Major Sheppard will get a chance to go full-commando, which is never a bad thing.
There's a mysterious brotherhood and the presence of a deep-space scanner is revealed.
