The Daedalus Variations
"The Daedalus Variations" is the 84th episode of the science fiction television series ''Stargate Atlantis'', and is the fourth episode in the series' fifth season. The episode first aired on August 1, 2008 on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States, and subsequently aired on October 9 on Sky One in the United Kingdom. The episode was written by Alan McCullough, and directed by regular Stargate director, Andy Mikita. Richard Woolsey (Robert Picardo) and Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite) do not appear in the episode, despite being credited during the opening title sequence. The episode bears similarities to the ''Flying Dutchman'', a mythical ghost ship that drifts forever in the ocean with no chance of returning home.〔 It received generally favourable reviews.
Episode writer McCullough described the episode as a one-off "wild romp", with much use of visual effects. The episode follows John Sheppard and his team, who investigates the mysterious appearance of the ''Daedalus'' over Atlantis, where they soon find the ship is from a parallel universe and makes its way through various alternate realities with an "alternate reality drive". Stuck on the ''Daedalus'', the team seeks to find a way to return, while they run into contact with a newly introduced alien race and find the ship's new drive is slowly burning out, and they could be stranded in another universe forever.
== Plot ==
A spaceship appears out of nowhere over Atlantis. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and his team discover that the ship is the ''Daedalus'', which is strange as Stargate Command confirms that the ''Daedalus'' is actually two days away from Earth. Sheppard's team boards the new ''Daedalus'' and find it apparently abandoned with signs of battle damage. Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) views a log entry from the ''Daedalus'' commander, Colonel Sobel, who the team has never heard of before. Suddenly, there is a power spike and the ''Daedalus'' disappears from above Atlantis, while from the perspective of Sheppard's team, Atlantis disappears. McKay finds that they have been propelled into a parallel universe by what he terms an "alternate reality drive", and thus the ''Daedalus'' is actually from an alternate reality.
The team finds another version of themselves, dead, who come from yet another parallel universe and were trapped aboard while investigating the ship, just as they are. Soon, the ship jumps again, into a reality where Atlantis is under attack from an unfamiliar alien ship. Sheppard intervenes, and the aliens retaliate by launching fighters. One of the fighters crashes into the ''Daedalus'' before it jumps again, this time into a universe where Atlantis' sun has already swelled into a red giant. To keep the ship from being burned up, McKay (David Hewlett) increases the rate at which the alternate reality drive activates, warning that his modifications are irreversible. Meanwhile, the team must contend with aliens from the crashed fighter. McKay figures out that there is no way to guide the alternate reality drive, but that they can return to their original reality by reversing the drive and jumping back through the realities they had visited before. They use the maneuvering thrusters to stabilize the ship's orbit above the red giant, and weather another attack by the aliens, with help from an alternate Atlantis. Once they return to their own reality, they leave the ship in space suits after a remaining alien detonates an explosive, causing a breach in the ship's hull and are picked up by Lorne (Kavan Smith) after the ''Daedalus'' disappears. In the end, McKay is shown working on fixing the alternate reality drive, despite Sheppard's admonishments.
