Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S05/E10 First Contact

"Dr. Keller: It's for your benefit too. If you don't have to rely on human feeding, the war would be over. Todd: Perhaps. (looks away) But then what would we do? Who would we be?"

Tropes:
"Daniel: It's not harmful radiation, is it?"
 * Continuity Nod:


 * Don't worry, Daniel, we don't want to do "Meridian" again either...

"McKay: The last time I went down this road, I...I kinda destroyed a solar system."
 * Name McAdjective: McKay refers to their alien captor as "Talky McSaysALot"
 * Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?: Subverted, in that the moment remembered is not (treated as) a Crowning Moment of Awesome per se


 * Theme Tune Cameo: The SG-1 music is briefly heard at the end of the teaser as Daniel beams in.
 * This Page Will Self-Destruct: The alien encounter suits self destruct when opened from outside.
 * Title Drop
 * What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?: This episode features several completely unnecessary pans across the entire city with stirring theme music playing loudly in the background, which cut to Rodney and Daniel Jackson doing something mundane like looking at security recordings.
