NEWS & SPOILERS
(Newest information is added to the bottom)

  • "Carl's script, formerly titled 'The Red Shirt Diaries' before being re-titled to 'First Day,' has become 'Prodigal.'"
    (Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)

  • Mallozzi later confirmed that "The Red Shirt Diaries" and "Prodigal" are two entirely different stories. The former has been temporarily shelved, and may be revisited if the show reaches Season Six.

  • "A nice callback to some SG-1 tech, the return of that guest star will have the boards abuzz, and Carl searches for an appropriately grisly punishment."
    (Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)

  • The Wraith Michael (Connor Trinneer) has infiltrated the city of Atlantis with a squad of his genetically-engineered hybrids ("The Kindred"). Using a Puddle Jumper, Michael generates an energy wave that pulses outward from the Gate Room, rendering everyone in the control room unconscious.

    Michael (Connor Trinneer)
    Clearly planning something big, Michael makes himself at home in Woolsey's office. The control room is now being powered by his ship, and the energy wave has been extended to the levels above and below to protect them from Atlantis personnel. As his hybrids work at the control panels, Michael has a conversation with Teyla, who he has captured. Her young child is a play a great role in his plans for the future ("The Kindred").

    In the hallways below, Colonel Sheppard and Major Lorne (Kavan Smith) lead teams attempting to retake the control room. But the stun field knocks Lorne unconscious, and McKay sets about trying to disable it. If they can't find a way past the crafty Wraith hybrid's defenses, Michael will have complete control of Atlantis's systems ... including the self-destruct.
