Episode Notes
This episode was shown in Canada (The Movie Network) on 19 December 2005, a couple of weeks before the regular airdate in the US.

In this episode, "The Tower," as it is called, turns out to be an almost exact duplicate of Atlantis', with only the central spire visible, and with the rest buried underground.

"The Tower" possessed a ZPM with very little power left in it, and a population of royals, who possess the Ancient gene, thus enabling them to use drone weapons to destroy the Wraith, when needed.

After the ZPM was depleted in "The Tower," the drones and the puddle jumpers were given to Atlantis in exchange for medicines and an IDC code, in the event they might need the assistance of Atlantis in the future.



Episode Quotes
McKay: Right, but do we need to make friends with every primitive agrarian society in the Pegasus galaxy?
Col. Sheppard: Alright, that's enough. They can't all be planets with cool technology and open minded women.
McKay: I don't see why not!
