THE LOST CITY (part 1 of 2) (acts as the pilot for the Stargate
Atlantis spin-off series but *is* a Stargate SG-1 episode)
Written by Brad Wright & Robert C. Cooper
Directed by Martin Wood
Note: This information appears to be only part one of the two-parter.
The SGC suffers a shocking upheaval when the White House becomes
directly involved in saving the world. President Hayes relieves
General Hammond of his command and appoints Dr. Theresa Weir, a
brilliant and world famous scientist (who has a couple PhDs and
speaks three languages), total control of the project. She's not a
big fan of the military at all, and was shocked to learn of the
Stargate's existence. Yet even worse than her appointment, is that
Senator Kinsey is now Vice President.
While Kinsey believes he can now control the project to his own ends,
he discovers Dr. Weir has a mind of her own, and she must decide who
to back - Kinsey or Hammond. This all comes at a time during an
extremely crucial mission.
New info: Apparently all of SG-1 is at Jack's house and even Hammond
is there. Hammond is going to Washington to learn of his reassignment.
Dr. Weir is given some time to revamp the operations, and Daniel has
a conversation which does not go well. Daniel wonders bluntly why
Hammond would be replaced with an inexperienced new person. She's
disappointed in Daniel for asking such a question. But there's more
problems that – Jack is apparently in some kind of real trouble – he
was injured on the last mission and conceivably could die – something
to do with a transformation and the lost city. Bra'tac arrives with
Ronan, and they are bearers of even more bad news: Anubis is getting
his fleet together and is headed toward Earth. Danger Will Robinson!
Danger!
Hammond goes to Washington to see the President, who he's known for
many, many years, and the President has another assignment in mind
for him, one that could be even more important than commanding the
SGC.
Dr. Weir discovers Kinsey is a thorn in her side, particularly when
it comes to Jack O'Neill, whom she has come to side with in some
matter, even though Kinsey blames him for everything and then admits
he wants SG-1 gone. Weir is aghast at this admission and is left
wondering what to do next.
Guest cast includes Dr. Theresa Weir (formerly named Theresa Wright),
President Henry Hayes, Vice President Kinsey (boo hiss), Michelle,
Bra'tac, Ronan, Aide, General Pearson, General Gibson.
Tidbits: Word is that this two parter is the `pilot' for the spin-off
series, and that Dr. Weir will be in the series.
