Rising, Part 2 (102)

[Crazedwraith]

Decent Episode. Liked the "GateShip1" "GateShip1?" "McKay named it" "Well it that case it officail. we don't let McKay name Anything." Exchange anfd the "Even with the 6 symbols Lt Ford gave there as still thousand hundreds.." Shep interupts wit the no. (what ever 6! is).. I knew thta i Just didn't nkow you Knew that."

So basiclly very happy Just one flaw: That isn't their permant credit sequence is it? Please don't say it is. Cause just the names and a moving blu background is NOT adecent sequence.

Generally a good episode, I love this Ancient tech, it is truly amazing stuff. Thinking of something lets you do it! I liked it when Sheppard asked for the turkey sandwich and they all stare around! lol

[Watters87]

A briliant episode. Love the PJ. I like the characters of Sheppard, Beckett and McKay. Beckett is hilarious. Excellent start to Atlantis, hope it continues.

Enjoyed that very much!!

I love these characters - quite enjoyed the Sheppard/Ford stuff, and McKay was very cool - bringing Sheppard to the puddle jumpers, trying to comfort Weir. The 'discussion' about naming the puddle jumpers was great! Sheppard figuring out how to work it & asking for a turkey sandwich, lol!
The city rising looked quite cool...not too sure about the opening credits though. I like the theme, but just staring at water isn't the most interesting way to start a show...

Pity Sumner couldn't be in more eps, but then I knew he'd be gone by the end of this one...

I thought the wraith were creepy. The Goa'uld never scared me, but they do...

McKay & Beckett at the end were hilarious - 'Why can't I make friends like that?' 'You need to get out more'...and 'Is there lemon in this?' LOL!!

All in all, thought it was a great ep!!

That's not the regular credit sequence.

That's not the regular credit sequence.

Huh???

[Major Fischer]

Huh???

The UK viewers were all expressing concern about the title sequence for the second part of rising, and I was just confirming that it's not the regular sequence. For both Rising 1 and Rising 2 they used episode specific title sequences so as not to give away the cool shots from those episodes that they used for the main credits.

I have seen both parts of the pilot now and think it’s fantastic. I hope the rest of the series lives up to the potential that this series has.

The Wraith really are very scary and it was a very spooky moment when they started to come to life at the end.

I like the new regulars particularly Major Shepard and the Scottish Doctor (what was his name again), but I did prefer the original Dr Wier.

Anyway I’m looking forward to the next episode.

II like the new regulars particularly Major Shepard and the Scottish Doctor (what was his name again), but I did prefer the original Dr Wier.

The medical doctor's name is Dr. Carson Beckett. Beckett, like the writer, or the guy from Quantum Leap.

A briliant episode. Love the PJ. I like the characters of Sheppard, Beckett and McKay. Beckett is hilarious. Excellent start to Atlantis, hope it continues.

I love these lines :


McKay: "You need to get out more."
Beckett: "We're in another galaxy, how much more out can you get?"


I love those lines!

Man... With all this talk of the special title sequence for part 2, I'd sure like to see it. Just out of curiousity...

No you wouldn't UP it was a very brief version of the regular musical score while staring at the surface of the sea from the bottom then the camera panned down to the city that was all. We also got a 'previously on' from DH because in their wisdom Sky split the story in two.

Sky isn't responsible for cutting the story in two... When double-length special episodes of a TV series are made, they usually make a two-episode standard length version of it as well, for use in syndication or repeats or whatever. Most likely, Sky simply purchased this version.

That's not the regular credit sequence.

Thank goodness for that!!!

OK...

1. The Wraith were OK but not cack-your-pants territory

2. All stuff involving the puddle jumper was class!

3. The FX for the city rising were cool - but I'm not quite sure why the city rose in the first place - the Athosian came steaming in, the city looked about to sink and suddenly it starts rising? WTF?

4. McKay might yet redeem himself!
