Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S05 E01 Search and Rescue

"As a rule, I like to keep daring rescues down to one a day."

- Col. Caldwell

Tropes:
"Ronon: All right, how do you want to play this?
 * Astronomic Zoom: Reversed.
 * Born in An Elevator: Torren John Emmagan
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Rodney tells how to breathe during her labor. She asks why, and he admits he doesn't know.
 * Delivery Guy: McKay for Teyla; she still names it after someone else though.
 * It Has Been an Honor: Ronon and Sheppard.

Sheppard: Shoot till we can't shoot anymore.

Ronon: All right.

Sheppard: Been a pleasure."

"Rodney: No one has babies this quick!"
 * Not That Kind of Doctor: McKay goes through all the reasons why he's the wrong person to deliver Teyla's baby.
 * Pac-Man Fever: Inverted; Sheppard is shown in the infirmary using what is clearly a DS Lite, but when he taps the touch screen with the stylus, rather than making retro video game bloops it beeps with similar sounds to other Atlantis computer technology. Ancient homebrew anyone?
 * Screaming Birth: Lampshaded by Rodney, of course.


 * Stock Episode Titles: 17 uses.
 * Worst Aid: Sheppard starts the episode impaled on a piece of metal; Ronon yanks it out and bandages the wound.
