Review:
As Season 5 enters disc 3 Rodney and Ronan's rivalry for Keller heats up and puts them all in danger on an off-world mission in TRACKER.

FIRST CONTACT and THE LOST TRIBE are a double episode which sees STARGATE SG-1's Daniel Jackson visit Atlantis and get involved in an intense adventure when the find a hidden lab and a lethal new alien foe. This double could easily be screened together as a feature and the introduction of thi new and dangerous breed of aliens could give the opportunity foe an exciting new storyline.

The final story on this disc OUTSIDERS is another Beckett story which although good seems a bit of a let down after the Daniel Jackson double.
