Memo to Stargate: Atlantis writers: this is how you cram a two-hour end-of-season episode into 43 minutes! I got to watch this without commercial breaks thanks to Amazon releasing the Season 3 DVD prior to the transmission of this episode, and couldn’t believe that they fit so much in. Mind you, they’d have got even more in if they hadn’t done such a long “Previously” at the beginning.

Yay! Becker not only got the front seat of the car this time but even got to drive!

Why did the anomaly at Christine’s HQ open? Just a convenient plot point to give Sarah and Becker some screen time?

Up until now Sarah seemed to have a bit of a crush on Becker; why’s she suddenly all keen on sticking with Danny? (I mean, apart from the fact that he’s Super!Quinn and a lot less likely to go off on a teabreak than the captain?!)

Great lines:
Connor: “Becker is really not gonna be happy with you. That was his favourite gun.”
Danny: “We’ve gotta get him a girlfriend.”

When and why did Helen dump her cleaner clone brigade? Shouldn’t they have been guarding her against predators in the future-ARC?

Helen tells Connor, “Such a shame you ever met Cutter.” Since when has she ever referred to her husband by his surname?

Great lines:
Danny (looking for a way to deal with the raptors): “Stun grenade.”
Connor: “Oh yeah. I was just about to think of that.”

The scenery was gorgeous in this episode. I bet it looks awesome on a large TV screen.

Connor makes a miraculously fast return to consciousness seeing as how, a few seconds before, he didn’t so much as twitch when Abby slapped his face.

How does Helen think that she can wipe out mankind’s ancestors without her (and, more importantly, her actions) disappearing in a puff of logic? Shouldn’t the fact that history says that 13 hominids were found at site 333 mean that, by going to site 333 and killing the hominids there, she was simply making history unwind in the way it always did?

The best count of the hominids I could manage was twelve, but presumably this was meant to be the group of 13. However, if it was, how come archaeologists didn’t also find the bones of the raptor and the modern-day human? (And yes, I know that that just sort of contradicts the previous paragraph, but no-one ever said that time-travel and Grandfather paradoxes were ever easy!)

I fell in love with Danny as he sat and cried over the dying hominid; and adored the look of joy on his face when he found the second group.

For a series which has had such fantastic CGI and green-screening this season, in the long shots of Helen standing on the cliff above Danny, it looked very obvious that she had been green-screened in.

Best line ever: “Good boy.” (Danny to the raptor for killing Helen)

The director chose to shoot a slow panning shot up the tree to show how high up Abby and Connor were. Unfortunately, by doing so, he showed that it was just about impossible for them to have got up there without a rope, especially with Connor having – at best – a badly sprained ankle.

Another of the poor editing shots that have sadly been all too commonplace in this season: Abby and Connor are leaning back imagining their ‘happy place’, then, as Connor asks if he can move back into the flat, Abby is suddenly leaning forward.

That was a hell of a brave cliffhanger finale for a series that hadn’t yet had its next season confirmed.

It’s a real shame that Lester was left out of what might be the last-ever episode, but I suppose there just wasn’t time to squeeze him in even for a cameo – or maybe Ben wasn’t available.

I think any last trace of sanity must have been wrecked by all the tesla of those different wormholes she's been going through for however long she's been doing this.
(Okay so it's probably that the writers really couldn't come up with a good & believable motivation for her, but we're not supposed to deal in reality.)

I did think she came off rather amateurish when she got taken by surprise by the pterandon & dropped her anomoly opener. She's been hopping & surviving from time zone to time zone for who knows how long, you'd think she would be constantly checking around her & keeping a tighter grip on essentials.
