First off let me just qualify and say that this is not an Atlantis bashing thread. I like Atlantis alot and I think the show has a lot of potential. That being said I think there are a few problems with the show that should be addressed.
First off I think that they have had a way to easy of a time accessing and using the technology they have found in atlantis. The whole "any body can use the technology once it is activated" is a cop out. They should have built up slowly what they can use and should have had them struggle with the city.
Second, the gene therapy thing. I think that this is another cop out that wasted a lot of potential character development. Given McKays personality and frustration at not having the gene they could have really developed his character by having him, and others, have to struggle to do anything in the city.
The city itself is another problem, I know they havnt been their long but they havnt really explored the city hardl;y at all. They are devoting lots of energy to search for ZPM's on other planets. It seems to me that since the ZPM's are the only power source powerful enough to power the shield and save the city, then the ancients would have a few extras around. given the size of them they could have a couple hundred in a closet somewhere in Atlantis. They should be devoting more efforts to exploring the city.
I have some more but Id love to hear what everyone else thinks, but remember this is a constructive thread on how the show could be improved and problems that should be addressed and not a "Atlantis sucks" thread. remember people SG-1 has changed alot from the first episodes and needed to, and so will Atlantis
