Episode of the Week: ‘Grace Under Pressure’

• That last fact reminded me that, that world is doomed now.

• Oh, I loved this one. This was in fact, the first Atlantis episode I ever saw. (Been in another country on a medical mission for the first year.) Loved the acting, and writting so much, it just got me hooked. Will happily watch it again and again. You never forget your first SGA.

• I find it no mere coincidence that I watched this show today (as in I am watching Atlantis in order for the first time) and HAPPEN to be on Gateworld to look up something regarding the novels and notice this feature for the first time ever!! (I've only been on here less than a dozen times so it's not like I check it a lot). How weird is that! This was definitely an interesting episode. I don't really like Rodney that much but the episode was good. I hope they look more into the life on the planet the giant whale was the first real animal life they've featured even though it was like 7 seconds... Looked much more whale like than I expected lol.

• Another fun fact: Joel Goldsmith was nominated for an Emmy for this episode's music.

  I never understood this. Of all the episodes in the entire series to be nominated for a musical Emmy, why this one? Sure it had some cool cues, but a number of other episodes had even cooler cues. Beyond that, Grace Under Pressure immediately follows Critical Mass, which is the episode that contained the song "Beyond the Night". You'd think that song might take higher priority to be nominated.

  All I'm saying is that if they'd nominated the music of a different episode, such as The Lost Boys, they might've actually WON that Emmy. :)

• Definitely not one of my favorites. Just kinda blah.
