Are People Getting Sick and Tired of the Current Atlantis Storyline

[mahram]

I was wondering, how people are feeling about the current storyline involving the sgA team finding energy sources to get home. I dont know, I hope it ends soon and get into the real meat and patatoe storylines. And are people getting afraid, this might be another voyager thing, where they overplayed getting home stories, but its dashed. Please Please get away from the zpm finding storyline, and start again.

Martim Gero says this next season will give us alot more story line on how the Wraith came to be and the Ancients. So it should satisfy you.

The pressing need to find power to get back to Earth will end as of the season premiere on July 15.

thats great news I was getting tired of all of these stories that always involved them looking for ZPM's. There great, but it was getting stale. Or all of the episodes that involved them getting home, but always getting dashed somehow. It was getting alittle voyager like.

GASP! We must never let SGA become voyager like.

Voyager is only the most recent and memorable example of travelers stuck a long way from home, trying to get back. Lost in Space is another example. And Otherworld. And probably dozens of others. It's a staple of the genre. That being said, it's also nearly impossible for a show to have any kind of premise that doesn't make people gripe about how it's "ripping off" another show.

I didn't find the few eps of Atlantis that specifically concentrated on trying to find ZPMs to be terribly overbearing or Voyager-like (not that I watched VOY, anyway). It isn't as if EVERY SINGLE EPISODE focused on trying and failing to get home and towards the end there was a specific, plot-driven need to concentrate on it.

I liked season 1. I plan to buy it on DVD eventually. I'm also looking forward to season 2 and although I know some issues are going to be resolved fairly fast, I wouldn't care if they DID continue with the occasional "must find ZPM" story or similar home-oriented theme. *shrug*

Hey i'm not saying it's a bad show. I watched it when I was younger and liked it, and I still do. And props to you for actually wanting to go out and buy the DVD's and not download them.

Atlantis in terms of storylines has given me very little to complain about. That being said, Im glad there taking the show in a different direction while not resorting to asking Earth for help everytime there in a rut. Im under the impression even though they'll be able to go home they can't go often.

No, I'm not tired of it, not just yet. Maybe if it continues to be a strong focus in the next two seasons I'll be tired of it but I don't want the show to suddenly lose that tension, it gets from the sense of impending doom when it has just barely started. That may be far worse than what they already have. It's only the first season. Barely anything has happened as yet.

It's a matter of taste I suppose. I liked Voyager. I tend to stick with the shows I like all the way through, enjoy as much of it as I can while it's on and not critique too much until I'm watching syndicated reruns. It's just more fun that way.

Well, the whole getting home thing was a bit important. Those eps didn't bother me much. Without it we wouldn't have gotten Before I Sleep, and I loved that one. But either way, it won't be an issue in July.

[SGRanger06]

So what do you thinks gonna be the new story line. I'm thinking finding and bringing back Ford will be an important one. Also, following and getting background on Dex. I know theres more I can't think of right now.

[TheHomegaMan]

Well, its nice to know my sig is still relevant all these months later!

[SGRanger06]

lol, well-played.

[NotAllowedToNameAnything.Ever.]

Yah the voyager stuff will hopefully be over, though we will still see a few episodes dealing with finding zpm's so we can bring the city to full power. Now its no longer about running, it should be about how to fight the wraith.

[Atlantis1]

We are only on the first season. I think we need to give the show a chance to grow. They put alot of information into just 20 episodes. I feel they are doing a terrific job of building the show.

The question which comes to my mind is why people have to have everything resolved so fast? Where is the fun in following the story if it gets over so soon. This is a series not a movie. From what I understand they have only been at Atlantis for a few months. I don't know about some people but I want the chance to enjoy the development of the show. SG-1 got the chance to develop, so why not SGA?

Not only am I going to buy the box set but I also have The Rising dvd on pre-order.
