Destiny‘s Lifeline. The stranded crew are desperate for aid from Earth, and Dr. Rodney McKay thinks he has a way to dial the ninth chevron — with a little help from one of our allies in the Milky Way Galaxy. But it’s not just a milk and cookie run that the crew needs: the Lucian Alliance is also poised to move on the planet Langara, and perhaps try to retake Destiny.
A possible lifeline, or the threat of invasion? The stakes have never been higher.
Perhaps the most anticipated episode of the season, “Seizure” airs tonight at 10/9c on Syfy. Stargate Atlantis cast members David Hewlett and Robert Picardo (“Richard Woolsey”) guest star, along with Lou Diamond Phillips (“David Telford”) and veteran actor Victor Garber (Alias)!

Hehe, in the episode "Twin Destinies" Lt. Johansen mentioned McKay saying he kept staring at Lt. James. Now he does again!
Umm... Is it just my PC or does this article have a date of March 30th? Did I miss the episode already?!
Maybe someone's Network cable got caught in a Solar flare :)
Wonder how Rodney and Jennifer are doing? Oh. Maybe Twitter knows: @dhewlett Dinner last night with @JewelStaite, @handsomanderson and half a cow of fine steaks is making this Mac and cheese seem like a light snack!
Any SGU with SG1 or Atlantis actors will make the show more appealing and raise the ratings for that week. Maybe if the writers wrote these characters in as semi regulars or background stories, the show might have stood the test. Then everyone would have gotten what they wanted. 3 Shows in one with the emphasis on SGU. But no. The ptb 'new' better how to appeal to a demographic they were sure could be convinced to watch and bear fruit for a new following. And what are the ptb's doing now? trying to get a new career going without Stargate. We warned you 2 years ago this format would not last. Despite all the money dumped into the show, all the sex and homosexuality, all the body swapping and adultery, it wasn't what the people wanted. Ratings proved this out.
I do appreciate your efforts in this last season toning down that stuff and making a more sci-fi driven show than a relationship driven show. It was a fairly decent season so far, but to little to late. First impressions count, and long hiatus' and time changes don't work well. C'est la vie
LOL @ kenny, all the sex?? seriously where do you people get this from, there's been a handful of sex scenes if you can even call them that, but yet it's always labeled as a sex driven show. Also how is having homosexuals on a show a bad thing exactly?? You make it sound like that was a cause for its demise.
Im already dreading this episode for McKay alone, he was unbearable in HIS own show, but hey, each to their own, I guess as the fans regularally put it, they can 'relate' to someone that is so ego driven and unrelenting in his own need for approval, so far up his own ass that he regularally puts countless peoples lives in danger thinking he knows what it is right, Yea. because thats the kind of person everyone can relate to it isn't.
I am excited to see Woolsey though, he was the only thing watchable in season 5 of the 'McKay Show'
If Rush is in a coma, does that mean he won't be interacting with McKay at all in this ep?
Read this interview with Hewlett. He said it best. The show should have been named Universe. because it was a totally different show:

I think the biggest detriment they had was that people came from watching 'Atlantis' expecting more of the same from 'SGU,' and it was a really different change of direction. And it's beautifully done ... I think the problem they came up against was that they had a very strong existing fan base for something that was, I think, lighter. You know, I used to call us the "Disney of science fiction." I didn't mean that as a put-down
Seriously? Wray's sexuality is such a minor point that I wouldn't even consider it as a ratings factor. It's fairly representative of reality there: there are LGBT people among you and it really doesn't change jack.
I wouldn't call it a put down either, that's exactly what Atlantis was, a Disney show set within the stargate universe.
