I was watching the second episode of lost and something dawned one me, how cool stargate would be if it was written more like this.
Not in the actual show but the fact that its one "big" story and not as episodic that most scifi has. Watching lost and other shows (24 comes to mind, but thats a different type of story) is there isnt clear cut episodes like there is in startrek/stargate.
For instance Grace, Chimera, and Heroes Pt 1 & 2, they were all good epsidoes but had nothing to do with the SG1 story at the time (the new supersoilders, impending attack on earth etc)..... Atlantis is better at this right now but I would love to really see what Atlantis could do if they moved away from the typical episodic model and to a more 24/lost model where its like watching a season long movie.
And for atlantis to me "Hide and Seek", "CHILDHOOD'S END" are two examples of this.... where the episodes have nothing to do with the greater story being told.
