Alright, but IMOverallO, Stargate SG-1 was much better w/out Dan... Oh wait, I meant Stargate: Atlantis did not suck and I pointed my reasons out in this thread: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=2259
As far as Atlantis sucking i could not comment, stuck in the UK i have not seen it yet, however i think it is probably pretty good. However onething has really nirked me in all the conversations about Atlantis, which is it being compared to Star trek Voyager.
Now, I'm a Trekkie and watched through Voyager, and it isn't particularly great. it isn't terrible, but the storylines were poor and it missed out on so many opportunities. however, the concept was never at fault. stuck away from home trying to get back was not a flawed concept, Voyager was just a flawed execution of it. and as far as i know it hasn't been tried by another show. now Atlantis is using the concept of being trapped away from home and trying to find a way back, as well as exploring, however i feel that this is unlikely to be a permanent thing and it will actually be interesting and will be executed well due to the great writers.
And i am going to enjoy watching this season with the characters stuck there, and see how it develops.
Give you fews on this series whatever they may be, but don't accuse it of being bad because of it's concept and comparing it to Voyager, as that is unfair to Atlantis.
It's a pretty superflous thread right now, since with only one ep gone everything that can be said about Atlantis ought to be said in the Episode Thread.
::glares at anyone who has posted in this thread but not the Episode Thread::
But I s'pose it's not inconceivable that it might be a legitimate conversation in a week or two, which is why I haven't closed it. I really shouldn't be going off topic though, that's Bad.
