Snagged from kefira.

Essays suck. Thank goodness for Stargate Atlantis. Yay for distractions and the wasting of time! This was an odd finale. It just felt like... filler.


At least we have the first Stargate SG-1 DVD movie on Tuesday to keep satisfy that Stargate craving. Though, with the story being set before Atlantis season four, we'll be going back in time, not forward. But who cares. :-D

<------- Hooray, I finally got myself a Stargate icon!

Stupid two parters. Gimmie the second part now!

This was my kind of episode. Not the "we need a cheap episode so let's set it on Earth with minimal effects" aspect, but the delving into a character's past aspect. Sure, a bunch of stuff was revealed out of nowhere, but I suppose there's good reason for that.


And I agree with kefira; John and Ronon in suits and civilian clothing is hot. :-D

I do enjoy it when I'm annoyed with something on a TV show but then it gets resolved. It proves the writers do know what they're doing from time to time. ;-) Case in point, Stargate Atlantis episode eleven. Episode ten left me unhappy with certain plot turns, but episode eleven is beginning to make up for that. I'm not 100% impressed, mainly because of the one little thing they dropped in at the end, but I liked that surprise; it just needs to be expanded upon.


Good start for the second half. Let's just hope all this set-up pays off and doesn't suck. ;-) And if there is suckage, the first Stargate SG-1 DVD movie is out a few days ofter Atlantis season finale so there'll be something else to focus on.

While I'm glad there's only a month between new Stargate Atlantis episodes, I have to say their usual mid-season two parter makes me angry. Not that it sucked or anything. To the rant!


Since I'm too lazy and too afraid of spoilers to go look myself, can anyone tell me if the character I've been ranting about above is returning for more episodes past this one? If it's just episode eleven I will be mad because that's just a re-hash of season two.

(Hmm, I really need a Stargate icon)

Okay, second part of Atlantis' premiere. I'm less angry now. :-) The resolution was good enough but I still have some qualms.


Now, here's a thought sort of related to Atlantis, but not really. Through the whole episode Rodney is very pessimistic, forecasting the worst for every situation they get in to. That's Rodney, though, right? I've been reading a lot of stuff about Canadian culture and it occurs to me Rodney is totally a reflection of a typical Canadian. Apparently we're all pessimistic and loser figures because we didn't go through a revolution and are in close proximity to a powerhouse country. It can be seen in all our forms of media. Right from the start, Rodney has been written as the character who sort of sits back in conflict and sees the downside to everything. Yes, they write him that way because it's funny, but I also think the writers, some who are Canadian, are working in that Canadian quality. Whether they did this on purpose or not, who knows, but since Rodney is like the only Canadian character I can think of on a major American television show then it's nice to see they aren't portraying him like he's of another country. Anyway, just a random thought (mostly because I still need to do more research for my paper and I feel like I'm actually working on it by doing this).

My love for Stargate seems to be an understated one. I don't gush about it constantly, like with Doctor Who or Buffy, but I'm totally a fan. So, much ranting about Stargate Atlantis' premiere.

Okay, so Canada gets to see new episodes of Stargate Atlantis before they air in the U.S. on Sci Fi. The season three finale just aired yesterday (Feb. 5) and some pretty cool stuff happened. Spoilers for the second half of season three (and slight spoilers for season four) behind the cut.
