The team happens upon a society which has a throne chair to combat the Wraith and a Royal family made of those with the gene to activate it. Unfortunately, the bloodline has begun to deteriorate, but the family finds hope in the form of Lt. Col. John Sheppard and his strong Ancient gene.
Atlantis redeemed itself with this episode. It was original and thought provoking. Maybe the whole 'princess in the tower' thing was going too far, and the court poisoner too obvious to be true, and the poor villagers too put upon to be believable, but you could image such a society developing. I certainly didn't forsee every twist in the tale.
I like the idea that there could be other Atlantis' out there waiting to be discovered. Not only does it solve the 'lack of drones problem' for Atlantis, but the 'limited Puddle Jumper' one too.
