SciFi Wire: Official SciFi Channel ratings for season three

[The Signal]

Besides, McKay is the resident speed talker of Atlantis.

Give him coffee, see how fast we can get him to talk, maybe we will get him to go supersonic (superpower: sonic wave well I wouldnt put it past TPTB)

[ShadowMaat]

And give Teyla and Ronan lots of coffee, that should liven them up a little

Oh and BTW, since your comment OBVIOUSLY implies that McKay should be killed and the speed-talking title given to Teyla and/or Ronon instead, I hereby scream at you and wave my fist in the air, furiously condemning you as un-fanlike and a hypocrite. And a blind hateful Hewlett-basher. Or something like that.

Note: the above post is, in fact, entirely sarcastic and non-hostile and should not be taken seriously in any way. Except for the bit about me smiting Ptah. But that's unrelated...

You know when you have to put disclaimers on your posts, the forums are getting too uptight

Oh, and smite away

The best way to get ratings up for season three? They could make some good episodes! With some decent writing and storylines..

Shock Horror....who saw that one coming

Don't have to tell me...

Down with censorship!

McKay torture too?! Why? Why not?! I'm all for it! Maybe it will teach him to curb the scientist and realise that the Wraith are not a library but set out to eat up people like him!

It'll never happen. Wait wait..never say never right?! It won't happen then?! I'm joking, it could happen, it really could but they'll have to work real hard. The ending for S2 is setting them up for disaster because they might not be able to carry it through.
Example...Trinity...great episode all around, where is Trinity 2? Left it hanging...that's what they did. They can so easily explain parts of S2 stupidity away it will make the show lose whatever credibility still has.

I'll still watch it...since I always have a flickering candle in a tornado, Pandora or the Wraith did still everything.

ANOTHER 'KILL' thread...*yawn* - some people have no originality...

And to think, I was actually considering going to the docs for a prescription for sleeping pills...I have all I need right here...

There is definitely something in the water. Globally.

"Kill ... kill ... kill ... kill ... kill ... kill"

Lord Voldemort has obviously trained an army of basilisks who are slithering their way around through the piping...

Oooops...wrong fandom...

[Major Zoidberg]

how about kill, kill, kill, kill as in huge 20 minute space battle

Well, didn' Martin Wood tell us that Siege 1 was going to be a fortysomething minute sequence of the city of Atlantis exploding? Maybe they've held that off to S3.

LOL!

Watching Lorne and Sheppard getting fed upon by the Wraith for like 20 minutes. That would indeed make great television. Wow, the ratings would jump beyond the broadcast networks!

dude your either a troll or a professional Shep and Lorne hater

turn those thoughts to torture, when the Genii captured Lorne and his team i thought it would be like whenever the Gould captured people but no it had to be sucky and all they did was drew blood from them...no torture on getting them to give them their shield code what a waste

[BookOfLove]

I don't think killing off the really cute guys would increase the show's ratings so, um, what do ya say we don't do that?
I think they should instead focus on character development, relationships, and original storylines.
I'd also love to see more humor brought in. Stargate used to have amazing scripts that were generally quite funny. I think the show is becoming too action focussed. I'm all for action, but they've gotta incorporate the humor as well (and not the large-ugly-man-attracting-all-the-beautiful-women-that-the-writers-think-is-funny-
but-is-really-just-repulsive type of humor, I'm talking actual commedy that makes people laugh rather than cringe type of humor)
Characters such as Lorne and Cadman could also be used more often and in more of a central role rather than just standing there with a gun and looking cool. Bring on the CadmanMcKay bickering (cause seriously, who didn't like duet?)
Okay, sorry 'bout that, I'm done now. Seriously, I don't think I've ever written that much in one post.

And since some of you seem to really be having a bad day you may want to consider calling the bad day hotline at 781-382-3756 (some funny stuff right there)

They are really pushing Eureka on the SciFi website, including streaming the full pilot episode for everyone to watch for free, legally. I think has a lot to do with the high ratings that we're seeing for that show. If other networks were smart, they'd be embracing this technology in the same way that the SciFi/NBC conglomerate has. The internet is a powerful tool, and wise, forward thinking networks can use it to promote shows and get fan feedback.
