If you've ever watched it you probably know that it took a huge turn for the better after season 3. So now that TPTB are promising great changes, do you think they're looking to do something like that? (eg. less filler, more continuous arcs, less jokes about everything (unless they are good), and perhaps let go of "cookie cutter" episodes.)

So are they going to pull a DS9?

Going by JM's blog it certainly sounds like it!
He's been promising more continuity to the eps and a season arc, Something SGA has been missing ever since s1. Its also suppose to be a lot darker with aSpoiler:war
Although SGA has been good in the past few seasons it hasn't been great. Its had its moments but heres hoping the future holds more than just great moments. Heres hoping its great all the time!sigpicBy *E*K*R*

I'd like it if they did pull a DS9Originally posted by G.B ShawSilence is the most perfect expression of scorn.
Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.
One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"

So far they pulled a 'Voyager' by not be able to return to Earth for 2 Sessions.
They are going pull a ‘Daniel Jackson’ by replacing Weir with carter hopefully for one session with only few reoccurring episodes.
I hope the Produces DON'T pull an ‘Enterprise’ on the Third Show. No pre Sg-1 rubbish, or how the Alliance of 4 Great Races started off. If we want to learn things like that, a few time travelling episodes will do fine.
There’ve also pulled a ‘Sliders’ by changing and killing off a few main Characters.Last edited by VSHARMA; 21 March 2007, 04:04 AM.
For Wraith, hunger burns like a fire.
Tell me, Sheppard, if you found yourself burning alive, would you settle for just one drop of water ...
....... or would you take more?

What I don't really get is the implication that it needs a big turnaround. I just don't get it, I think it's great as it is. They just need to stop screwing around and throwing away characters to "mix things up"
But if it COULD get better... great. I agree DS9 did get way better... so if they could, great. But I don't think you get there by massacring main characters. Gr. DS9 didn't do that. So let's not be stupid TPTB, mk?

I hope they can... (DS9 is my favourite of the Trek franchises) I did enjoy S3 of SGA much more than S2 but my hope is that they get back to the fundamentals of S1 and build on that. I'm happy to see that they're lost in space at the moment, perhaps that is a good sign of things to come. They haven't had that sense of desperation since Season 2.sigpic

Atlantis - Humans feel OBLIGATED to carry on fighting the Wraith, so they go through the gate and do their thing. We could easily take the ZPMS bk and fly it to Earth, then hand out ZPMs again.
SG1 - Its our own planet were protecting most the time. We don't get the choice of leaving - were there and thats that.
Atlantis an expedition, its not about five characters like SG1, its about over 200 people at Atlantis. Otherwise it would of been called Stargate: Atlantis 1 -
thats why we see Mckays relationship
Why we see numerous scientists
Not just the same people over and over. Its about a community and their feelings of obligation to Pegasus humans.
Thats my take anyway.Blitz

One was an experiment made to cause destruction in any condition except water, the other was an aquatic expermiment to destroy the world...but in the end...Stitch and Nim: They made an amazing Hula team

I think it will definitely get better in S4, but I've had no complaints with any of it so far, it's all been great.
Spoiler:I do like that they've started to bring in the SGC style uniforms for the main characters at least, so there'll be some more continuity with SG-1. I've always preferred the SG-1 uniforms anyway. Though I never got why they all have flags for their respective countries (the military at least) and not the Pegasus Mission patch like the Daedalus and Apollo crews.
Unlike DS9 though they won't have Ron D. Moore making the changes, but I would like to see what he'd do if he had the chance to right and direct an episode or two.sigpic
