Sora Archives - Gatecast

An intense storm is heading towards Atlantis and without full shielding the intricate
construction of the city will not withstand the huge forces mother nature has in store. The
decision is made to evacuate the city and the Athosians on the mainland to a nearby friendly
world for the duration with a handful remaining to attempt an almost hail mary pass by
harnessing the lightning strikes to provide the energy the shield generators require.
The Genii take this opportunity to stage a raid on Atlantis with a stolen IDC code and lead by
Commander Kolya a ruthless and dedicated officer a small strike force take control and hold Weir,
Mckay and a few others hostage. Things get a little complicated when Koyla realises he may be
in a position to take the whole city for his people if the lightning experiment is a success but
in the meantime the fly in the ointment aka John Sheppard is doing his impression of Die Hard
and removing the threats to his home and co-ordinating a counter strike with a lone jumper and
her crew who are returning from the mainland.

You will need an umbrella!

The Storm and The Eye are together an absolutely fantastic story but what really makes them
special is that taken separately they both hit the highest marks in narrative, performance and
production from the Stargate Atlantis team. The return of the Genii is perhaps quicker than you
might expect but then again why delay, the writers had a story thread with Sora and Teyla and
pure genius to imagine a hurricane as a story device which has a natural break built in.
Robert Davi is pretty much awesome as Koyla, he delivers both the style and
menace you would expect from a Pegasus human black ops commander and even better he will be
appearing in upcoming episodes as an equal to John as do the Genii in opposition to
the expedition.

Do not cross this guy!

This week we chose to release both episodes as a single feature length episode, we had the
opportunity to record with Jeff making allowances for the time differences
so they were recorded on the same day and it all felt right. We also had a small poll and
that returned more votes for a feature so here we are.
