C'mon writers, just bring Beckett back. He was one of the best characters on Atlantis and it was a stupid mistake to write him out. So just bring him back to season five as a full-time doc again and maybe we'll forgive you.
And stop writing Sam as Weir. And stop introducing new characters to replace old ones just because you can't think of where to go with them. Think of something, or hire more writers, and stop re-using SG-1 stories. I've been looking through the various seasons of Atlantis and have seen just how many episodes could have been written as SG-1 episodes, and a lot have already been done on SG-1. And another thing, what the hell did you do to Michael?! He was an ace character before you guys turned him into Dr Evil!! What the hell was that about?
I honestly think that its an insult that you've tried to make Atlantis 'darker' by making it a bit more violent, and tried to explore new depths of scifi by destroying characters who actually had character development at one point by having them 'run around an underground lair with an evil army of bugs'. I was chatting to a friend before about how SGA comes across as being the holder of all of SG-1's rejected storylines. Surely you can see that.
So this a plea from me to you, please please please surprise us with season five. Make it far better than the rest, make it different and stunning and add something that will make us all go 'THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE...!' in every episode. It is possible. Stop making it like SG-1 by adding old foes (replicators) and bringing in people from Earth to spice it up a little bit (Sam). Take it into a different direction, you've experimented with gate travel on SG-1...We already know that the stargate can take people to other worlds....Just try something new is all I'm asking.
Is that seriously too much to ask? I've been watching Stargate for ten years, but when I see what direction you've taken Atlantis in - I'm beginning to wonder why I've been so patient. I know, I know, people prefer SG-1 to Atlantis....But slowly transforming Atlantis into SG-1 isn't the way out. Its called laziness.
Just try a new approach.
Please?
If any of the stargate writers actually got around to reading this, thanks much.
