Review: Stargate Atlantis, Episode 5.1, "Search and Rescue"

The popular spinoff of the late and still missed Stargate SG-1 begins its fifth season (it's the fifteenth season of the Stargate franchise overall) with an episode written by staff writer Martin Gero. The fourth season ended on a big cliffhanger, and this solid episode quickly gets to work resolving it and a key sub-plot from last season. It delivers the action and character interaction that I love and expect from this show, but somehow the resolution feels a little rushed and even a bit anti-climactic. Still, I'm generally pleased by how the season has started.
