Thinking back over the past 5 seasons something which i think the writers really missed out on was the potential for a slightly more adult show than SG1.
Lets look at the bad guys, Goa'uld were a rather over the top melodramatic (almost comic book) kind of villian and as a result it was kind of hard to take them seriously which meant SG1 was a rather light hearted show. Compare this to the Wraith who in the first season were certainly not a comic book bad guy and could be rather intimidating at times (especially on the hive ship). They were a much darker and more dangerous kind of bad guy. Unfortunately after afew seasons they lost that edge to them which they had in season 1 (i personally think they should have been scarier and darker than they were in season 1)
Something which i personally would have liked to have seen is Stargate Atlantis as a slightly more adult show with a scarier villian aswell as more realistic violence, more adult language (not even the military personell on Atlantis swear) aswell as some more sexual situations.
It would have been really interesting if the writers decided to make Atlantis into a show which is a mixture of Stargate SG1 and Battlestar Galactica.
Does anyone else agree or am i on my own on this one?
