My favorite SGA 5x17 scenes

This is not telling the whole story of the episode, but for those who need it this way it's Jennifer free.

I recommend clicking the 'watch in high quality' link underneath each clip, because it's a big difference.

SGA 5x17 'Infection'

A wraith hive is detected approaching Atlantis. Atlantis is prepared for anything:

John in the drone chair, Rodney cloaking the city.

They get a video transmission, but it doesn't get through well, so Rodney suggests going to the hive ship with a jumper to check it out up close.

Classic team-in-a-Jumper scene.

Since they're not picking up any life-signs, they decide to board the ship.

On the hive ship they discover the wraith have gone into hibernation. A message from Todd tells them they took the gene therapy, and it seemed to be working, but the side effect is that it's killing them. They've come for the help of Atlantis as their last resort.
The SGA-1 team, joined by Dr. Keller and Major Lorne's team get into trouble when the wraith wake up, turn out to still be feeding on humans but now by eating them instead of sucking the life out of them.

John turns Todd's request for help down.

When it turns out the hive ship has also caught the virus and as a result is falling apart and crashing to the planet, John is forced to ask Todd for help.

John makes Todd a promise.

The plan works.

And John keeps his promise.
