QUOTE It's a typical Sunday in the city of Atlantis, as Dr. Elizabeth Weir and her people go about their everyday business. A handsome young scientist, Mike Branton, finds Elizabeth at work in her office on her day off. Mike is obviously smitten with the expedition's leader, and is fighting an uphill battle when he tries to convince her to go to lunch with him. Elizabeth has a personal rule against dating people under her, but Mike persuades her that there's nothing wrong with eating lunch at the same table. During their "not a date" the charming man begins to wear down her shields, and even kisses her. She seems attracted to him, but decides she can't allow a potential romance to bloom. She's saved from the awkward situation when the control tower radios her: There has been an explosion in the city. Three people are dead and more are injured, and they believe it may have been a bomb Well Martin Gero wanted to do something like this and i guess he got most of his wish. Directed by Will Waring |

Well, it is said that this episode will air in early 2007, so it would either be in the first half of the second half of the season, or it could be anytime 'cause the entire second half of the season is in early 2007.

Now it was announced that Sunday will be the next episode after Irresponsible, so it will be S03E14, and is described with something like:
QUOTE An average Sunday afternoon in Atlantis is anything but ordinary after a bomb explodes. I say, not even the "day-off" is avoided by trouble; it would have been a dull episode without some action. |

Well, here's what Stargate Solutions writes about this episode:
QUOTE 3.14 Sunday Summary Dr. Weir meets one of the new scientists assigned to the Atlantis Outpost and his charm leads her to have lunch with him. She tries to separate her professional life from her social, but duty calls, even on her day off. Details Mike Branton is a new scientist assigned to the Atlantis Outpost. He is a young (late 20?s to early 30?s), good-looking, smart, and charming man who is Dr. Elizabeth Weir?s subordinate?s subordinate. He catches her working on her day off and charms his way into having lunch with her, over her weak objections that she?s his ?boss?. Her protests come across only half-hearted, though, because she?s smitten. She even breaks off her lunch with Teyla to go to lunch with Mike instead! During lunch, Weir continues to insist that they are not ?dating? by going to lunch, but Mike catches her slips in words. He knows she likes him. So, acting like lunch is all he?s going to get with her, he decides to take their food to one of the piers for a more romantic setting. But, alas, the lunch ends much sooner than Mike would like because he forgot dessert! Even after he kisses her, Weir thinks of all the reasons why she can?t start seeing Mike socially. She thinks he?ll split her focus. Just as she appears to be letting Mike down easily a call comes in for her to report in because an explosion has just gone off at the base of the tower near the gym and has killed three and injured a dozen more ? and they think this explosion was caused by a bomb. That looks like a very interesting episode now... Doesn't it?  I think that bomb will explode at about half of the episode... I can't wait to see Weir in love. Hoping this won't be the only story arc in the episode...  |

Gero said before that he wanted to take the regs and show them on a day off. If we are seeing Weir being seduced by a new guy, bombs going off, mayhem and such, it hardly sounds like his proposed day-off episode.
Unless TPTB took it away from him and had someone else do the final draft. |

I agree this does sound like TPTB deciding to re-write the 'day-off' idea |

I'd like to see Gero's original idea. Total day off. I don't think it would be boring at all. I guess they are giving Weir a young BF to balance Sheppard bopping all the young girls last season. Idea is dumb. Either no romance or put people with GF's or BF's who are similar ages and intelligence levels. |

True everyone likes explosions but i dont think thats what the episode is going to be about. think about it doctor weir is doing her work as normal then suddenly a complete stranger comes to her and takes her out for lunch and away from work,then a bomb gos off in a room where she could of been at the time, no weirs not that lucky to get away with that, i think this Mike Branton Knew that this explosion was going happen and came up with this lunch thing to get her out of harms way.
Hay it could be that this Mike Branton is Janis from Before i sleep back to cheack up on his changing of the time line. This post has been edited by Crazy Ancient: Sep 13th 2006, 6:29 AM |

A very interesting point I hadn't considered,the most recent Dr Weir would have no idea what Janus looked like. I think you hit the nail on the head that this new scientest knew about the bomb and seduced Dr Weir into moving away from it. However,he may simply be part of a rogue earth or alien group that wanted to cause some trouble or diversion on Atlantis,but for some reason needed Dr Weir alive for their purposes. |

I like explosions as much as the next guy but overall it is about the story and the development of the characters and this episode is about Weir and how she deals with unexpected events.
I think that possibly she would think as most people have said in here, that he was responsible and tried to get attention off him by seducing her. Possibly she would make accussations only based on the 'coincidence' of the two events and act on them afraid of the possibility that he may be indeed be a saboteur and that she got herself tricked when she didn't even want to go with him in the first place because of her responsibilities as leader and the example she thinks she has to give. In reality it may turn out for the explosion to have been only an accident and that she overreacted when she found herself ambushed by his romantic intentions and the fact that she takes her leadership very seriously and like a full time job with no distractions. I haven't explained it very well but bottom line is, it strikes as an episode in which Weir is faced with an unexpected challenge that becomes complicated because it's also personal. She doesn't handle it very well but hopefully she 'll learn from it, thus the development revealed. |

I am looking forward to this Ep. I am a Sheppard and Weir Shipper and I want Sheppard to see that Weir is a attractive desirable woman and he may lose his chance if he doesn't act soon. I also want to see the Weir character devolped more. I want to see that yes she is a person not just a leader. I have heard that this is the Ep that

Hmm, I don't want to see Weir being seduced by anyone other than Shep. I don't mind if it well done, but I don't think she would be so easily overcome by some strange person's charm...
Maybe he planted the bomb and he's the bad guy really and Shep ends up beating the crap out of him in revenge (for chatting up Weir as well as planting the bomb...lol) |

I want him to see how it feels and maybe he will finally make a move maybe even hug her. |

PoundPuppy where did you hear that spoiler?
» Click to Show Spoiler « although with Canada rescheduling the season it's still possible.The absence of most of the episode in the description does indicate that this could be an interesting episode with long-lasting reprecussions (sp?) for the show. It's still too early for TPTB to create any substancial 'Ships. It took 4 years for the Jack/Sam 'ship to be cemented so I won't be holding my breath just yet for any 'ships in Atlantis, not just Shep/Wier. |

I think they shot them out of order that's why Tao was shown first Gateworld and tv.com both had it wrong so I was confused too they went by production schedule apparently but it has been confirmed by gateworld and the actor. I hold out hope that I get my ship it can be done right Babylon 5 is proof you can have it without it being the focus of the show but official nontheless. |

Gateworld has posted an interview with Martin Gero about this episode. LINKY unless TPTB are trying to throw us off the scent it looks like the character loss won't be in this one. Interesting that he calls it a 'big 'Ship episode', |

Interesting that he calls it a 'big 'Ship episode', Thanks for the link. I say it could be the episode (thought I wouldn't bet on it) reason being that it is an episode about character interactions and their relationships with each other. We see apparently how well they get on with each other, how their lives have been affected over the last few years etc. It leads me to believe that they are trying to make us see how close they all have become and then tptb go and kill off a character and it makes it more moving for us to see the other characters reaction to it, as we've had this build up... That or they set it up for the next episode, just specualtion really, anyway I look forward to seeing this one soon... |
