Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

I don't know what the current standards are, but I don't think they allowed such long hair when SG-1 started.

I never understood why the show wouldn't let Amanda Tapping grow her hair out. I was in the Air Force, and hair past your shoulders was allowed for females, as long as you pin the hair up when on duty.

A lot of females opt for the Sam Carter look though, as it was easier to maintain, and you don't have to worry about tying it up when you're in a hurry.

On the other hand, maybe since she was part of what is essentially a Special Forces team that is always on alert that her hair has to be short. I must say I never had the chance to encounter an SF-member female while I was in, so I honestly don't know.

Also, I guess a bun on Sam Carter was too girlish?

Personally I think Daniel would have been a better choice. He would still be a civilian so that would appease the International lot but also has a proven track record with the airforce so would work well with them and these days actually understands when certain decisions have to be made.

Daniel's too much of the humanitarian type to lead something like Atlantis. Maybe he has the potential to get harder-edged, but I don't wanna see that from him.

Plus he dies too often to get any kind of leadership role...t:

Have you seen seasons 9 and 10? Daniel's humanitarianism seems to vanish when confronted with the Ori.

She probably thought it would be too girlish for herself in the earlier seasons. After all, she did get defensive over nothing and throw out that cringe-worthy "just because my reproductive organs are on the inside" quote in the first episode. I still shake my head at that when I see reruns of the first episode.

Shanks has revealed a spoiler for the Continuum movie....

Spoiler

Daniel spends his time in the alternate Earth with only one leg. The way he put it was - 'The ship was sinking, Daniel stepps in to help and loses the leg'- Dunno which one it is but apparently when they 'reset' the missing leg returns. Again i dunno how that works.

This is apparently the Dark storyline they created to explain why Shanks missed the artic shoot to film 24 as Daniel has a hard time coping in the other reality

Yeah, but "humanitarian" doesn't apply at all when what you're dealing with aren't human.

Daniel isn't exactly cruel and calculated when it comes to the human component of the Ori, which is Adria and the Priors.

The Wraith aren't completely human, yes, but they partly are, and are certainly easier to give humanizing references to.

Just saying.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, but he's also willing to bomb stuff and jump to a weapons-first solution the way Jack always used to. RDA's departure apparently forced Daniel to straddle the line between his earlier personality and Jack's personality, at least the way I've seen it.

Either way, we agree he's not really the best choice for leadership of the Atlantis mission. Sam definitely takes that prize for me. I haven't been excited for Atlantis as much as I am for season 4 and Sam's arrival.

Damn, alternate Daniels always get screwed somehow.

 

[Dr Lee]

Spoiler

No not alternate Daniel... Our Daniel.

As far as i know (And i have been on a self imposed exile from the web while this computer decided to throw a wobbly so i may nhave missed something that said differently) Our Daniel, Sam and Cam somehow survive the timeline change and the movie is them trying to convince the new timeline ppl that they need to fix the timeline back to how it was.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Spoiler

Yeah, but it'll all be reset in the end, so missing-leg-Daniel is, for all intents and purposes, an alternate Daniel. It's not like they're gonna leave him without a leg for all future SG-1 stuff.

 

[Sam Fisher]

What was the name of that song they used in the SG1 series finale?

Does this sound like that season 1 episode to anyone else?

 

[Dr Lee]

Just about everything on TV atm is a rehash of somethig someone else has done already... which itself was a rehash of something someone else had done already.

The tune in the finale is called-

'Have you ever seen the rain' by the Creedance Clearwater Revival.

Last week MGM updated the character Bio pictures for the Atlantis crew...i'm just updating my avi with JMs bio pic.

Hey guys...as you all know, the fourth season of Stargate: Atlantis premieres Friday, Sept. 28th at 10/9C on Sci-Fi. We fans really need to band together and watch it LIVE. I heard that ratings need to go up for this show. All of us would like to see a fifth season – and beyond. I’ll be at home that night watching. Let’s make it Official Watch It Live Day.

 

[Dr Lee]

If i understand it, a 5th seaosn has nothing to do with the 4ths ratings... it's all gonna be down to S3's ratings.

And i'm UK so i can't do poop about Sci-fi's ratings.

 

[PuddleJumper67]

Viewership for Season 4 is just as important. And a lot of shows' ratings are affected by DVR's.

 

[taintedFB]

Does anyone know when SG Atlantis Season 3 comes out on DVD?

Which is ******ed. They really need to develop a way to count people who use DVRs, since they're pretty common these days. I work on Friday nights, so I couldn't even watch Atlantis when it airs if I wanted to.

 

[Happenstance]

From what ive heard the season 4 first episode has been leaked onto the net

 

[Dr Lee]

EDIT- not a rumour....

I've jsut seen a Torrent for it.

Now unless this is all apart of some elaborate prank then it looks like if i wanted to i could watch it tomorrow..........

......


Do i?

 

[Happenstance]

I wouldnt bother, its missing 7 minutes in the middle and has no sound effects as its for review purposes

 

[taintedFB]

Dude, I'd rather wait and see the finished show in its entirety.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

**** that, I'd wait for it even if it were perfectly complete. There's only, what, a week or two left before the season starts? I've already waited the obscene amount of time between now and when the season 3 finale aired in the UK or Canada or wherever they showed it earlier than the US.

 

[Dr Lee]

I'm in the UK so it's still about three or four weeks away.

The MAIN reason why i'd watch it now is that i don't want to be spoiled on how they survive and i can see some mindless (Insert swear word here) blabbering on about how they got themselves out of the *****hole they are in, in about 10 hours time.

That would completely and utterly f**k it up for me, so part oe me is happy to possibly miss out on 7 minutes and some sound FXs just to stop some moronic loser ruining it for me.

I think they can be forgiven for the wait, at least for this year, now that they've shifted to a regular release schedule.

I did however, miss my July and August gate outings, which is what got me into stargate TV in the first place: NOTHING USED TO BE ON DURING THE SUMMER 'cept for SG1 and SGA. But now that that's not happening anymore, and my less than enthusiastic support for Atlantis, the gate world is slowly losing my fanaticism.

Exactly. I think the new schedule is stupid for a number of reasons, but Sci Fi seems determined to ruin everything good on its schedule. What they're doing with Battlestar Galactica still boggles my mind.
