Backstory :D Novak as pirate queen jr. is amusing and perfectly fitting, especially in the scene with Teyla. With Vala and Dushka she has two mentors who´re going to teach her all kinds of things - not to mention Mer. The divorce paper scene gave another intriguing look at this universe´s SGC. (I want them all to stay in Atlantis in the end - well, except of maybe Daniel - but I do love to imagine O´Neill and Teal´c facing Mer and his new team.) Poor Kavanagh! And the other scientists, too, of course, especially now that Kolya has taken over, but at least they get rescued eventually. It´s also great how you show that the Earth expedition partly scattered and now also includes other refugees from other planets. The way Mer and Jehan´s relationship started without any dramatics was sweet and strangely fitting, even though and because they´re both damaged. Of course Vala had to blackmail Jehan to get him to say anything. And their resentment of Earth makes perfect sense (as does the fact that they can´t think about it rationally.)
