Atlantis - Creep or Spooky?
Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!
Col. Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
Dark Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
Col. Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!
Col. Sandurz:Ludicrous speed! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't think the ship can take it.
Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...CHICKEN?!Tags: None

The blue looks a little creepy, I guess, but personally I think I'd probably prefer it if they had a non-humanoid foe. Apart from the Vee-too, the only non-humanoid aliens we've had on Stargate have been the Go'auld - and since they're usually seen in a human host, they don't really count - and the Giant Head aliens - who we've only actually met once anyway. That just about works for this galaxy because it is just a single galaxy, but Atlantis is supposed to be completely different, and yet again we have humaoid aliens. I realise you've got budget considerations and that it's a lot easier and a lot cheaper to stick some make-up on a human actor than it is to create a new species with special effects, but it would be nice...sum ergo cogitum
I am therefore I think.

Darker would be cool. Everyone needs a good scare here and there.
I hope that we don't learn practically everything about the Wraith in the first ep. They should have a 'mysterious' feeling about them.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!
Col. Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
Dark Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
Col. Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!

The real problem with creating non-huminoid characters is that if they are too alien...they are too alien to the viewers perception...and that means they can't relate to the character. A true menacing character has to be human enough that people can relate and create THEMSELVES the effective emotion that the writer wants. A semi-humanoid species with black eyes, pale skin and sharp claws and teeth engages the past horror movies we've seen in our life, animals with sharp claws/teeth and the fact that the eyes are black and without pupil creates just enough non-human influence that by the time our subconscience recieves it...it's "Creepy"
If you had a big alien creature with lots of eyes and arms and sharp teeth...it comes off as a monster...but not really creepy..because we have nothing really to make reference to it...unless it had spider-like appearances.It feels good to be alive.
Cause i've been dead for so long.
