Episode of the Week: ‘Be All My Sins Remember’d’

With a plan to potentially extinguish the Replicator threat, the Atlantis team must seek an alliance with a fleet of Wraith ships.

“Be All My Sins Remember’d” Facts:

• Guest star Michelle Morgan (“Fran”) was originally cast as <!a href="/wiki/Linara">Linara, the daughter of the Seer, in this season’s episode “The Seer.” She had to back out because of scheduling conflicts with a movie she was shooting, and was quickly recast as Fran.
• Producers had a particularly difficult time finding the right actress to cast in what was to be the major recurring role of <!a href="/wiki/Larrin">Larrin, leader of the <!a href="/wiki/Travelers">Travelers — a group of humans who now live on board inter-generational ships in deep space. Though they finally settled on Jill Wagner for “Travelers,” they were only ever able to schedule her for two episodes. This is the second.
• Despite the impressive visual effects still to follow in Atlantis‘s fifth season — and two years of Stargate Universe — “Be All My Sins Remember’d” likely takes the prize as the Stargate franchise’s biggest space battle ever.
• Patricia Cullen plays the small role of a Replicator crew member in this episode. She would return as a Lucian Alliance scientist on Stargate Universe.
• Torri Higginson returns in the jaw-dropping, whopper of a final scene, showing that one Replicator ship has survived the battle and remained hidden. This turned out to be a Replicator duplicate of Elizabeth Weir, not our own. The twist was meant to give the former SGA co-star a chance to return in Season Five — but she ultimately would turn down the role in the episode “Ghost In the Machine.” (The episode was then re-written to use Michelle Morgan’s Fran instead.)

  As a result, “Be All My Sins Remember’d” is Higginson’s final appearance on Stargate.
