| Sitting in a psychiatric hospital outside Washington, D.C., Dr. Elizabeth Weir is shocked to be told that Atlantis is a figment of her profoundly stressed imagination. In fact, the last two years of her life as she remembers them never happened. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Adam Fletcher, informs her that a car accident which killed her fiance, Simon Wallace, caused post traumatic stress which recently surfaced. She has been suffering delusional psychosis triggered by the stress of negotiating a nuclear non-proliferation treaty.Weir refuses to believe him. She demands to meet with Major General Jack O'Neill. He comes to the mental institution professing to have no idea what she is talking about. He assures her that there is no Stargate program, let alone him ever runnning it. As far as he understands it, there is no lost City of Atlantis (just a rock song he never liked). When Weir imagines his head flipping around on his shoulders, she is sufficiently upset to tell him to leave. She even gets violent trying to exit the sanitorium. The doctor medicates her into submission.Fletcher wants Elizabeth to accept what has happened to her, but nightmares convince her that something more is afoot.After several days in his care, group therapy, and a visit from Weir's own mother, she begins to believe that she has simply imagined running the Atlantis expedition. Though she previously flushed her medication down the toilet, she begins taking them, and in Fletcher's eyes doing much better. He allows her to return to her apartment in Washington, D.C., where she is met by her dog. In familiar surroundings, she meets again with O'Neill. She is ready to start teaching her old poly-sci class, but the General asks her to return to the negotiations which he she left hanging. |

| But back in the real world, in Atlantis, Elizabeth lays in the infirmary in a coma, under the care of Dr. Carson Beckett and the concerned watch of her friends. She has been infected by Replicator nanites in her encounter with the Asuran defector Niam ("Progeny"), and the microscropic, artificial creatures are replicating rapidly, using her body as raw materials. Soon she will die -- or, worse, be transformed into a Replicator one cell at a time.Colonel John Sheppard talks to Elizabeth from outside the isolation curtain, encouraging her to fight them. In her dream world, she begins to get the message and, convinced again that they are doing her more harm than good, stops taking her medications.Soon her nightmares resurface, and she sees a shadowy, featureless figure through glass, in her sleep, and at the oddest moments. These images terrify her. She even hears a voice telling her to get back to Atlantis. Once again, she is returned to the mental hospital for treatments. Dr. Beckett and Dr. Rodney McKay race to find a cure to the highly advanced, artificial infection. The problem is that, because the nanites have bonded with her own cells, eliminating the Replicators inside Weir with an electromagnetic pulse (as the team used effectively against nanites before ["Hot Zone"]) could leave her brain dead. Since the Ancients designed the Replicators to fight the Wraith, Beckett injects Wraith tissue into Weir's leg to draw as many nanites as possible away from her brain. McKay's EM pulse eliminates most -- but not all -- of the nanites. They only begin replicating again.With that short reprieve, Weir hears John more clearly through her coma, telling her to fight. In her mind, the Replicators pull out the stops trying to intimidate her and frighten her. When she cooperated with the fantasy world they were showing her, they were able to spread more rapidly and voraciously.Fleeing her captors, Weir finds herself running through the corridors of Stargate Command, inside Cheyenne Mountain. Sheppard appears, urging her to follow him -- as in the real world John breaks the quarantine to enter the isolation area and connect physically with Elizabeth. Even General O'Neill appears to "save" her from Sheppard. But she braves even firing assault rifles to run after Sheppard. At the Stargate's event horizon, her psychiatrist appears to block her path, morphing into Liam himself. He tries one last time to impede her entry into the gate.Bravely, Weir steps right through him and into the Stargate, saving herself and finding her way back to the real world. She wakes up to find her friends at her side, back in Atlantis. |

| | STARGATE ATLANTIS SEASON THREE - ABOUT THE CAST ... | |
| Lt Colonel John Sheppard | Major in the United States military and a highly skilled pilot with a checkered past, John Sheppard commands the flagship reconnaissance team from Earth's Atlantis base. He travelled to the Pegasus Galaxy with the Atlantis expedition under the command of Dr. Elizabeth Weir, and became the base's ranking military officer following the death of Colonel Marshall Sumner at the hands of the Wraith. He leads the base's flagship reconnaissance team in exploring other worlds through the Stargate.Sheppard was based at McMurdo Air Force Base -- possibly due to the black mark on his record -- and preferred the quiet of the Antarctic. He was assigned to fly General Jack O'Neill to the remains of the Ancient outpost to oversee the research team's latest developments. There he discovered that he possesses the rare gene that allows him to use Ancient technology -- and unlike most others who possess the gene, he is a natural at it. Weir emplored O'Neill to allow Sheppard to be a part of her team despite his record, tarnished for disobeying orders to save two teammates in Afghanistan.
PLAYED BY - Joe Flanigan - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Elizabeth Weir | Commander of the Atlantis expedition to the Pegasus Galaxy. An expert in international politics, Dr. Weir is a civilian and a diplomat who is well known for mediating for the United Nations. When President Henry Hayes took office in 2004, he placed her in command of the S.G.C. after moving General George Hammond to a new position. After standing up to Vice President Kinsey and his agenda to take control of the Stargate program, Weir led a total review of the Stargate program over the following months.Upon the promotion of Jack O'Neill, Weir was transferred to the Ancient outpost of Atlantus, left behind in Antarctica when the city of Atlantis left the planet between five and 10 million years ago. When Daniel Jackson discovered the Stargate address for Atlantis, Weir led the pioneering team through the gate. Weir's work in diplomacy was referenced by Dr. Jackson when drafting the initial treaty for the Tok'ra-Earth alliance. She speaks five languages, including Russian and Latin (the latter of which is very similar to Ancient). PLAYED BY - Torri Higginson - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Rodney Mckay | Arrogant and condescending by personality, McKay was insistent that the Stargate's crystal memory did not contain the remains of Teal'c, and pushed for the Stargate program to recommence immediately -- destroying any chance of rescuing the Jaffa.
McKay turned out to be wrong, and with aid from a Goa'uld Teal'c was recovered. After the incident, he was swiftly reassigned to Russia to advise their new naquadah reactor program. Carter was not sad to see him go. He returned less than a year later, when his services were required to solve yet another gate-related crisis at the S.G.C. McKay arrived to learn that the gate had been open long past its 38-minute limit; the Goa'uld Anubis was using a weapon to destroy the gate, and Earth along with it.With help from a somewhat hostile Major Carter -- whom he found both increasingly attractive and worthy of his respect -- they devised a plan to save Earth by sending the Stargate away from the planet through hyperspace PLAYED BY - David Hewlett - Profile Picture Click Here | Teyla Emmagan | Daughter of Tagan, and leader of the Athosians from the planet Athos. Teyla is cautious, and must get to know someone before trusting them. She found a special connection with Major John Sheppard upon meeting the humans of Earth for the very first time.Teyla and her people use the Stargate to visit many worlds in the Pegasus Galaxy, and she had never before encountered a culture that had not heard of the Wraith -- a terrifying enemy that has oppressed her people for generations, harvesting them to feed upon their life-force. Teyla is a strong and capable warrior, and a confident leader -- though she was reluctant to say goodbye to her people to remain in Atlantis with Sheppard's reconnaissance team.While returning with Sheppard from a hidden sanctuary where her ancestors once hid from the Wraith, Teyla herself was kidnapped in a culling beam and taken to the Wraith hive ship on the Wraith homeworld. She was later rescued by Sheppard and Lieutenant Aiden Ford.Teyla returned to Atlantis and met even more humans from the Tau'ri, eventually establishing a colony there for her people. She dedicated her services to helping seek out new allies for the humans now based in the Pegasus Galaxy, and her experience with other cultures makes her an ideal guide for the humans from Earth. Teyla also possesses an extra-sensory awareness of the Wraith when they are near. PLAYED BY - Rachel Luttrell - Profile Picture Click Here | Dr Beckett | Biologist and chief medical doctor at Earth's Atlantis base in the Pegasus Galaxy. Beckett was originally assigned as a representative from Scotland to the Ancient outpost in the Antarctic, where it was discovered that he possessed a rare gene from the Ancients that allows him to use their technology. In fact, it was Beckett who discovered the gene necessary to operate many Ancient devices.Despite the fact that Beckett himself is not especially technologically inclined, Dr. Rodney McKay forced him into the outpost's command chair in the hopes of learning something more about the technology. Beckett accidentally activated a dormant drone weapon, but was able to shut it back down before it harmed General O'Neill and Major Sheppard as they traveled toward the base in a helicopter. A member of the expedition under the command of Elizabeth Weir, Beckett traveled through the Stargate to Atlantis. One of his first duties was to dissect a severed Wraith arm that Sheppard brought back from Athos after the creature's Dart was shot down. PLAYED BY - Paul McGillion - Profile Picture Click Here | Ronon Dex | Once a military soldier on the planet Sateda, Specialist Ronon Dex became a runner when the Wraith took him from his home. Ronon defended his world during a devestating Wraith culling seven years ago, but was swept up in a culling beam. He was taken aboard a hive ship, but when a Wraith attempted to feed on him something forced it to stop. Instead of dying as food, Ronon was made a runner: The Wraith implanted a transmitter in his back and let him go, hunting him across many worlds for sport, for training, or for some other, unknown reason. Ronon possesses a gun with both stun and kill settings. A cunning and skilled warrior, he hunted his hunters, killing many Wraith. But he could never return home, nor could he stay in one place for too long. Once, when he stopped to eat a meal and get a night's sleep in a village, the Wraith showed up the next day and destroyed it. PLAYED BY - Jason Momoa - Profile Picture Click Here |
