Go To


1	Negotiations with the Langarans to use their stargate to reach the ''Destiny'' are at a standstill, so Colonel Telford initiates his Plan B—having Colonel Young and Lieutenant Scott use the communications stones to hijack their identities and open the wormhole with stolen authority. Meanwhile, back aboard the ''Destiny'', Dr. Rush is taking a virtual vacation with his incorporeal love interest, Amanda Perry.
2
3	Final appearances of Rodney [=McKay=] and Richard Woolsey.

5	----
6
7	!Tropes
8	* AesopAmnesia: Rodney's overly confident about ''not'' blowing up Langara. While it's not acknowledged in-story, one would think he'd be at least a ''bit'' more humble or cautious given what happened the [[Recap/StargateAtlantisS02E06Trinity last time]] he was in a position to potentially blow up a planet and/or solar system.
9	* BrainUploading: Rush's day off starts with this
10	* {{Crossover}}: A loose one with ''Stargate Atlantis'' as Rodney and Woolsey lend a hand to assist the ''Destiny'' Expedition. This also gives David Hewlett and Robert Picardo the distinction of being among a small group of actors to play the same character across all three Brad Wright-era ''Stargate'' shows.
11	* EndOfAnEra: Meta example. "Seizure" marks the final appearances of Rodney [=McKay=] and Richard Woolsey. This ends a 9 year run for David Hewlett (which began with [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E1448Hours "48 Hours"]]) and a 7 year run for Robert Picardo (which began with [[Recap/StargateSG1S7E18HeroesPart2 "Heroes, Part 2"]]).
12	* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Stargate Atlantis'' main theme plays when Rodney enters the episode.
13	* MentalAffair: Amanda Perry built a simulation just so she and Rush could have a physical relationship, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof.
14	* MyEyesAreUpHere: Rodney [=McKay=] makes no friends with the female military on ''Destiny''. Also doubles as a callback to [[Recap/StargateUniverseS2E12TwinDestinies "Twin Destinies"]].
15	* RequiredSpinoffCrossover: ''Stargate Atlantis'' characters finally cross over to the second ''SG-1'' spinoff.
16	* RunningGag: As this episode is Rodney's swasong, it is fitting that his iconic Citrus Allergy gets brought up one last time.
