The Lord of the Rings

""Lord of the Rings." "Lord of the Rings!" You know, when they light all those signal fires on the mountain tops? You saw that, right?! So, OK ..."

―Bill Lee^[src]

Critical Mass 1 — Bill Lee's drawing that he compares to *The Lord of the Rings*.

The Lord of the Rings is a book, turned into a series of movies. Dr. Bill Lee is a self-confessed fan of it.

When The Trust infiltrated Atlantis and rigged the Zero Point Module to overload the next time that the city dialed Earth in 2005, Lee and a team planned to send a team to P4M-399, which would send a subspace communication to the Daedalus, who would then relay the warning to Atlantis. Lee cited the signal fires through the mountain tops of the saga's third movie as a comparisons. This was Lee's second choice as his first pop culture referent - the "Twilight Bark" from 101 Dalmatians - proved too obscure (or probably too passé) for the Air Force personnel in attendance. (SGA: "Critical Mass")

In 2008, while hunting Poole's Replicator, Lee suggested to send it to the "fires from whence it came", which was a phrase from the movies. (SGA: "Outcast")
