Episode Quotes

Season 3 / Episode 20: - First Strike (1)

Ronon Dex: I need to learn some science.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: What for?
Ronon Dex: I'm not all that useful in situations like these. If we get into a fight, or we need to break out of somewhere, you know, kill someone, I'm your man, but a laser attacking the city's shield - I don't know where to chip in.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Well, that's why we're a team, like the Fantastic Four. [Ronon and Teyla stare at him] It's a comic book where superheroes fight crime and stuff. See, I'd be Mr Fantastic, Ronon would be The Thing, McKay would be the Human Torch... [John looks at Teyla] You'd be the Invisible Woman.
Teyla Emmagan: I am not invisible.
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: No. No, and McKay's not a human torch.
Teyla Emmagan: Well, how come *you* get to be Mr Fantastic?
Lt. Colonel John Sheppard: Because he was the leader and I'm the... [pause] I'm just saying that *they* were a cool team and *we're* a cool team and they use their strengths to, you know... [another pause] I'm gonna go check on McKay.

TRIVIA

Jewel Staite appears for the first time as Dr Jennifer Keller, who will be a recurring role the next season. She had previously been in “Stargate: Atlantis” playing a female Wraith, Ellia, in the Season 2 episode "Instinct".
Dr. Jennifer Keller was originally Canadian, so Jewel Staite filmed her part with a Canadian flag on her sleeve. When it was decided there were already a lot of Canadian characters in the show, they added the American Flag with visual effects.
