Guys,
Let me just say how awesome it has been to read all your well-thought out responses. Everyone has added to my own interpretations of what I'm seeing and I enjoy the differing angles.
Atlantis is truly 'new' to me. I got hooked watching the original Stargate series when my husband convinced me I needed a tv series 'fix' after my beloved Xfiles ended. After I got hooked on stargate, I refused to watch atlantis. (I just don't watch much tv as a personal choice) But then, I had some time off and watched a few eps while I was 'doing something else' and the two main characters just began to grab at me.
I haven't seen ALL of the first season episodes. So, if I may, can I ask a few questions of you seasoned veterans?
Was Teyla really intended to be Shep's 'woman'? I just have a hard time buying that after seeing some of the first season eps. Nothing. nada. there.
Why is Weir sparsely used in much of the first season? I immediately liked her and found myself wanting to see mucho more of her. Do they plan to use her more? Make her more hands on and involved?
** Can anyone tell me the supposed 'age' of the characters? One thing that absolutely THRILLS me about this ship is how close in age the characters are. It is rare to see a man/woman relationship portrayed where the female is as mature or moreso than the male. I think the writers could make this a 'growth' issue for the characters as well if they went about it right.
John and Elizabeth are terrific old English names that just sound good together-don't they? ; )
