I can't help myself; I need to watch this episode again and point out the things that make flail the most.

In order of appearance:

1) Daniel beaming in more ways than one when arriving in Atlantis.
2) Daniel looking incredibly hot the way that bag pulls his clothes.
3) Rodney's 'what, he had lovers...?'
4) John trying to convince Woolsey that he needs to be there at this meeting with Todd; his face! The emphatic handmovements!
5) Woolsey pushing his decision nontheless.
6) John's 'no promises'
7) Rodney's 'good luck!' at Jennifer, and then his double-take.
8) Rodney's 'oh, just like the Bat-cave!' and Daniel's mental eyeroll reaction.
9) The whole zooming in and out of Atlantis when Rodney and Daniel go looking for those light fixture thingies.
10) Every. Single. Time. Daniel licks his lips nghnghnghngh...
11) Anybody else had a 'Close encounters of the first kind' moment with the note-codes?
12) The whole Rodney and Daniel alternating their lightbulb moments (complete with the 'humour me' remarks both ways)
13) The 'of course everything sprang to life the moment we stepped into the room' moment.
14) John walking into the room and going 'wow, that's pretty cool!' ♥
15) John remarking that Daniel and Rodney make a good team just when I was thinking the same thing and them reacting in such a 'yeah whatever' kind of way.
16) Rodney teasing John (the Mensa remark), where it's usually the other way around, and having Daniel sniggering along with him. Yeah John, you had that coming...
17) Woolsey's speech not going as planned. Caldwell's 'Robert who...?', and that amused look on his face.
18) The bonding conversation between Daniel and Rodney.
19) Chuck reading with his feet up :D
20) John resting with a book on his belly, and his disoriented reaction when he's being called.
21) The aliens making their Buzz Lightyear landing decent from their ship.
22) People looking up through that hole in the floors.
23) John: 'what's at the bottom of this tower', Teyla: 'Rodney'
24) That was so cool the shield and the whole stance of that alien!
25) The look on John's face when he has to confirm to Radek that indeed they took Rodney and Daniel.
26) Rodney and John explaining the same theory simultaneously, with lightyears between them.
27) Daniel's 'I could have, yes...' Heheh. And Rodney's reaction.
28) John's quick reaction when the selfdestruct on the alien has been activated, and the way he makes sure everyone goes.
29) I so understand Todd with his doubts.
30) I really, really, really like that female technician.
31) John's reaction when Radek also doubts his mathematical skills.
32) At 30:07 a seriously nice backlit scene between Daniel and Rodney. Don't know what they're saying, but they look goooooooood.
33) Rodney admitting he once destroyed a solarsystem
34) Daniel trying to reason with the aliens.
35) John happy to be able to go and do something.
36) Daniel willing to sacrifice himself, and Rodney admitting he's not willing to do the same.
37) Woolsey sticking his foot in his mouth.
38) Ronon running to Jennifer when he notices something is wrong and saying: 'We're under attack, we gotta get to the armory and get you a gun, come on.'
39) Daniel tentatively stepping back and saying: 'It's not harmful radiation is it...?'
40) And of course Rodney works on regardless of the fact that he's being threatened, because he's a brave little toaster although he still doesn't realize just how much himself.
41) John's clever idea of collapsing the shield around the gate.
42) Teyla only leaving because she doesn't want to disobey a direct order.
43) Oh no! Not the tower again! *bites nails* Plus I had such Prodigy flashbacks of John going down with the city.

42) Teyla only leaving because she doesn't want to disobey a direct order.

I gotta disagree. I think she left because she and John pretty much had a silent conversation by look alone where he begged her to, in that John kinda way. I mean, the look on his face! :x Also, she's probably remembering that she has a SON to go home to now. <3333!

You're right; he doesn't even order, but says 'please'.

That's one of the reasons I LOVE his and Teyla's dynamic. He's reached this place where he's able to ask her to leave because he cares about her, and she knows him enough to read it and go. *squishes entire team*

1 & 2) OH YEAH!
6) So loved that! Hee!
8) And John would have totally been right there on the comics reference. :-)
16) Totally! John wanted to play "cool kids" with Mitchell and Carter, and finally Rodney gets his SG-1 buddy moment. :-D (I was thinking a lot of the friendship Daniel and Rodney would have after Antarctica. Especially when the secret lab was on an ice planet!)
17) Caldwell didn't get to do much this ep, so yay for his zinger!
26) Not the first time they've done that. I LOVE IT! They are so MFEO.
29) Daniel could have a nice long discussion with him on the way going from hunter-gatherer to agricultural allowed human civilization to flourish in ways it never could have before.
36) And Rodney not being willing to sacrifice Daniel, either, but couching it in terms of selfishness. ♥
43) Seriously! /o\

Also? Wow, they finally had an Asian tech! He doesn't have a name yet, but good to know their extras casting isn't completely white anymore ...

8) God yeah!!

26) Indeed, but this time they're doing it with lightyears between them!!!

29) Oh wow yeah, it would be cool to have that discussion.

43) And the score... That particular theme always gives me goosebumps.

I had to make a list too, but yours is much more complete! 0_0

Poor Woolsey. Diplomacy is just not required with the Wraith, lol.

And I keep wanting to add stuff to this list. Not that I've already watched this episode a couple of times...

Oh hell, I'll admit, I've already watched it a couple of times.
