Good Omen
After they fly Atlantis to the new planet, and after Colonel Carter has settled in as expedition leader and (most) people have given up hope of ever seeing Dr. Weir again, exobiology discovers porpoise-like creatures off the south coast of the snake-infested mainland. There's a female calf that takes a particular shine to Rodney when he and Radek go to set up an observatory after the exobiology bitches at them for three weeks straight, and Radek says he should name her.
But Rodney just calls it "whale" like he did to the not-whales on their old planet. In his head he calls her "Elizabeth", and tells himself that plenty of people get things named after them while they're still alive, and that it doesn't mean anything. He knows Elizabeth is (was) like most women and thinks dolphins are cute -- that's all it is.
In any case, they're supposed to be a good omen for sailors, and at this point Rodney will take all the luck he can get.
