Why do people have so much hate for season 5?

[hallmjo]

Wow, I'm less critical of S5 but it just wasn't the best. Without killing McKay the above statements would have been ok in some ways...maybe...who knows.

[Ben 'Teal'c would WIN!!' Noble]

Season 5 was good it felt like they knew what they where doing and going. It was like they had found how to write the characters and most eps where good. Except maybe 'Whispers' and 'Inquesition'.

Edit: I also don't think EatG was a good series finale as it felt rushed and not well thought through unlike the rest of the season.

TPTB thought as much.... I'm not convinced.

me either. I still have only watched 4 eps from my season 5 dvds...and still have NEVER seen BS! Yes a Brainstorm virgin here...until the day I die!

But... it's Bill Nye.

Killed Mckay off in the first episode thus ending the dreaded triangle of doom and Stargate:McKay with one swipe of the pen. No more kinky broads in leather in charge of the travelers ships...one tough dude instead. Had a several ep arc before the reveal of the pegasus asgard (and fire whomever leaked that in the trailer ) kept Daniel there for several eps (without mckay trying to upstage him )- after all Atlantis is "Daniel Disneyland" according to Cam. Added Radek to Shep's team... nicer guy than mckay and would have been more fun on missions...less whining! Had Teyla and Ronon be more than wallpaper for the eps. I could see teyla being important to woolsey as he tried make diplomatic contacts with the other civilizations. that's just a few ideas.

If forced to keep McKay, how would you improve the character?

But... it's Bill Nye.

To you he is - to me it's Bill who?

So, really don't care about these people - was the tall one Bill Nye or was he the black one? Anyhow, the tall one with the bow-tie was funny.

You been watching Dallas?

Hmm, Dallas was amateur hour compared to the Colby's.....a main character whisked off into space by a glowing alien.....pure cheestastic gold

my wisdom is far beyond my years...also spoliers are our friends!

But... it's Bill Nye.

left him in Russia and never brought him back!


as for Dallas--- some moments were worth watching!

and very yummy!

[Falcon Horus]

Why would I want to do that?

Like I said - these people don't interest me. And while that one guy was funny, doesn't mean I want to spent money on him.

Minor fact: I do not own season 5 (or 4) on DVD because I do not feel they are worth my money.

I only got season 5 on dvd because it was on sale and I had a gift card...none of my own hard-earned money was spent on it! wouldn't give a plug nickle for sgu.

[Falcon Horus]

I'm spending my nickles on Warehouse 13.

You know... that was just a textbook case of the Americano-centrism I've been talking about for months on my LJ and which people just refused to see... but yes, not everyone knows Bill Nye. In fact, I even doubt he's known in many other countries outside the US and Canada (and maybe the UK?). And yes, this is normal. Don't feel bad, little lemming

It's funny that while yes stargate is a world-wide phenomenon, the only ratings that matter to keep it on the air are the american ratings.....so yep....I can see why the show is americancenteric....after all it's the old golden rule...he who has the gold (or in this case the ratings) makes the rules!
