This post opens *spoiled*/retrospective discussion of Stargate: Atlantis episode 1x04: "Thirty Eight Minutes".
This episode first aired in the US 30 July 2004. This episode is parallel to Stargate: SG-1 episode 8x04 "Zero Hour", by original US airdate.
US DVDset summary: Fleeing from a surprise encounter with the Wraith, the Atlantis team's puddle jumper speeds back towards the Stargate but becomes trapped when the puddle jumper suffers a mechanical failure. They have only thirty-eight minutes before the Stargate shuts down ... and with the front half of the ship already de-materialized in the event horizon, the puddle jumper will be cut in half!
