Week 16: Memory is open!
Memory is a big theme in SGA--both the canon and fandom. Tabula Rasa is the obvious episode example, but one of the things I love most about the show is how the characters struggle with the memories of who they were pre-Atlantis vs who they are now, and how their experiences have shaped them.
Dictionary definition below for further inspiration.

4. the time over which recollection extends: within his memory
