Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

Yeah, which is why I tend to just focus on the characters.

Well that is one thing that is good. They do have good character progression. Daniel Jackson went from Nerd to SuperCoolNerd. So that is nice. But poor McKay saving the day everytime. It still gets repetative.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If the characters are fun, I'm happy. I'm excited for the new season because of the potential for good character interaction between Sam, Kellerman, and all of the returning Atlantis people.

SGA has more running time yes of course...but if they do the same with SGA with what they did with SG1 then we will hit dry spots with SGA that feel boring.

Man, Atlantis has really come back big time...the show is darker, better characters and just over-all better stories so far.

Dark MacKay

That would make a great villian.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it'd be nice if the villains could get a guy who's as smart as McKay. Even the Replicators can't seem to outthink him.

Yeah. That's thing though with shows like this. The main characters can't really die or if they do they come back in some form. Also they always find a way to win....

I think SG1 ended very well leaving the Ori story open.

Can’t wait for tonight’s episode, LIFELINE. Very curious to see how their mission goes on the Replicator homeworld. Any thoughts?

 

[Happenstance]

Many thoughts, but thats coz ive seen it already

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yay, Sam actually gets to interact with the Atlantisites this time.

Hell yes that looks great!!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

"Lifeline" was decent. Nothing too surprising or spectacular. I was initially hoping Sam would take over as head of Atlantis this episode, but after thinking about it I'm glad she didn't. I could see a good episode coming out of Shep assuming he'll take over, then having to deal with the fact that the IOA appoints Carter instead. I read an interview with Joe Flanigan where he basically said that Sam's character is too perfect and too nice, so it's been hard for them to come up with conflicts around her that don't feel forced. Shep's shattered expectations about leading Atlantis and being able to focus its resources fully on finding Weir is a good way to create some conflict.

I'm curious about what the new Stargate series will be. The SG-1 movies are pretty much done and Atlantis' new season has started; time for some new Stargate series spoilers.

I think I Would like a SG show based upon a group of people, not super smart or the ultimate fighter type, but average/above average scientists and soldiers perhaps 2 or so civilians get "Lost" in the Gate system.

I know there are a few problems with it.. such as.. oh they would just dial home.. so they would either have to have no direct knowledge of the SG program (so they do not know the addresses) or due to some cosmic accident are flung so far away they can not gate home.

They can meet and be joined by a local civilian(s) who know some addressed and they travel planet to planet having adventures while obtaining new address to travel to in order to continue their search for home.

I know there are holes but hey I just spent a whole 2 mins thinking of this lol

This sounds an awful lot like sliders but then I was second guessing myself, and then I realized, that it sounds more like the new Flash Gordon.

I am glad that they didn't just hand everything over to Carter right there. Plus I think giving the replicators a new target could make for some interesting new battles.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm pretty sure the Atlantis team is going to team up with the Replicators against the Wraith at some point now.

 

[GhostPoet]

Personally, I think so far this has been the best season of SGA yet. I actually enjoy SGA more than SG1 and I have since the last season...
It's a great Stargate series...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know about the "best season yet" after just two episodes, but it's been good. Season 2 is still the best season of SGA for me. I was glued to my TV almost every week.

 

[Happenstance]

Ghostpoet thats the second time you seem to have said something like that. It may very well turn out to be the best SGA season yet but at least give it a chance to proove it one way or the other.

Its like when you said:

Man, Atlantis has really come back big time...the show is darker, better characters and just over-all better stories so far.

Now saying this after one episode, you cant really use stories can you? Maybe the current story but dont go throwing plurals at us.

Not far form the idea of Sliders....instead of other dimensions other worlds and they can't get home but the keep sliding...

Episode 4, Doppelganger -- I hope this is gonna be Stargate Atlantis meets “Nightmare on Elm Street.” I’m sure that Weir will somehow factor into somebody’s nightmares.

 

[Dr Lee]

I've seen it. Not sure if i should post some VERY mild spoilers or not....

[BLACKOUT]Weir is not in this episode[/BLACKOUT]

Go ahead as long as they are in tags it's cool.

 

[Dr Lee]

OK... TBH all i was going to say was that the episode included two WTF-shock moments They are-

Spoiler

the Alien rip-off with what i thought was a replicator bursting out of Teylas stomach and Heightmeyers death from falling off the main tower

And a WTF-Funny moment that contains a clown.

Oh yeah

Spoiler

Lorne returns.
