Trivia / Stargate Atlantis S02 E17 "Coup D'etat"

• What Could Have Been: The coup leader was originally supposed to be Kolya, but Robert Davi was unavailable and the ringleader role was re-written Radim (with Kolya's absence explained in-story as him having gone missing in the interim since "The Brotherhood"). This ends up becoming a Development Gag in next Season's "Common Ground" as Kolya bitterly remarks that Ladon 'stole' the leadership of the Genii from him.
