In this week's episode of Jumping Puddles we discuss the first episode of the series "Rising". We explore the city of Atlantis for the first time and meet chosen one John Sheppard, his team & leader of the Athosians, Teyla Emmagan. We also discuss the challenges that the humans from Earth face, adapting to the ever-changing and dangerous situation of inhabiting a planet in the Pegasus galaxy.
(we're so sorry for the sound hiccups! we're all new to this)
