Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S02/E15 The Tower


I really need to stop making housecalls.
Dr. Beckett

The team makes friends with a planet full of humble dirt farmers who claim to be defended from the Wraith by the all-seeing Lord Protector in the Tower. Investigating further, they discover that the "Tower" looks exactly like the central spire of Atlantis - all that remains visible of a second identical Ancient city-ship.

While McKay and his trusty sidekick native guide Baldric stay behind to take energy readings, the rest of the team gets menaced by the Lord Protector's guards (when they try to top the former from beating innocent peasants). The situation is diffused by Otho, the Lord Protector's chamberlain, who scans them all and then forcibly invites Sheppard back to the Tower.


Tropes

Dr. Weir: They didn't offer you king?
Lt. Col. Sheppard: I turned that down too!

Baldric: I’m not so sure this is wise.
McKay: Okay, I’m not interested in your primitive taboos, okay? It is a dark and scary place but it’s not cursed or haunted or anything like that. It’s perfectly safe.
Baldric: Actually the catacombs are prone to earthquakes.
McKay: (worriedly) They are?
