The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.

[Southern Red]

That's not actually the case - TPTB didn't have to keep AT on for the remaining years of her contract (or pay her some kind of settlement if they chose not to use her, as has been suggested at various times); they had an option on her contract to use her if they chose to, and they chose to.

While I'm here, something more topical.. what would you say is your least favourite episode of Season 4 so far and why?

Mine is probably Missing... although it wasn't awful, it's the only one I've yet to bother rewatching. I know a lot of people had issues with Keller in this episode but her reactions didn't bother me too much and I felt they were in character for her character (if that makes any sense) but I simply found that Teyla and Keller alone were really not enough to hold my interest. I enjoy Teyla as part of the team but on her own... or with just Keller... I'm afraid I found her a little... *meh*.

We do agree on something. Missing is my least fave also. I liked seeing Teyla in native mode, but the whole thing was just too weak for an entire episode. There should have been a B plot with more Shep.

And while we're talking about favorites and this seems to be my contrary day, I liked Travelers. I thought Larrin was spicy in a good way and she and John had great chemistry. I liked Adrift, and Lifeline made my stomach hurt in a good way. TMC finished breaking my heart and all the others I barely remember. MC wasn't so bad actually, but again not enough Shep and Doppelganger was disappointing even though JF was his usual incredible self. There now. Noone can say all the antis agree.

What is that all about? Is it a famous battle or something?

Ooorah! is a sort of general Marine noise. It kinda sounds like you've been punched in the stomach if you say it right and means anything from "right on" to " let's take that hill and kill us some mother*******". Semper Fi, short for Semper Fidelis, is the USMC motto and means always faithful. Marines say it to each other as a greeting.

Wow. *is stunned* I agree, but I'd resigned myself to the idea that I was alone in my opinion. Cool!

[Luz]

what cons would you like to go to Luz?

Actually, I don't think I'm enough of a fan of anything to want to go a con.

ETA: It's something I've just realized, if I had the time right now I wouldn't know where to go because there is not a cast/director/writers I want to meet, there is nothing I care about enough to want to spend that money on, I'd rather buy books.

[Ruined_puzzle]

((mcbarr)) whats your fav epp?... mine is the one where john meets stark
gads john was all broken and insane... man i would have killed for a shep episode like that!

First season of SGA I thought John was like John from Farscape, but then it sort of went downhill from there.

[Killdeer]

It's interesting that you compare Farscape to SGA. I think they are both similar in that they take risks. Both shows decided to kill off a main character during Season 3. Moya at that point kept changing crew. Season 3 was one of the best seasons of Farscape, imo.

Are you talking about Zhaan? If so, the actress left because the body makeup she had to wear for the part was damaging her health. I don't think that's in any way comparable to what's happened with SGA.

agreed

[Irish Eyes]

Travelers is the episode I liked the least, but the episode that disappointed me the most was Miller's Crossing. I was really looking forward to this one because I loved Jeannie so much last year, but for some reason the whole sibling thing wasn't as much fun the second time around for me. Still love her character though. Maybe it was the story. There are things in Miller's Crossing that drove me nuts, while I totally enjoyed McKay and Mrs. Miller.

[Pajus]

Oh yes, I know, one of the reasons I "like" him so much. lol

Torri is a class act, agreed. She's still as gracefull and respectful as she's always been, even after how they treated her and what she believes is the reason they got rid of her. *bows* Also, JM could learn a thing or two from her, for example how fans are supposed to be treated.

Agreed

And now on the more anti note, who here is happy to see Michael back?

You meant the one, who ripped-off AvP?

Hmmm, and I've been rewatching Deep Space 9 (just finished season 3)...how many other people are watching old favorites in an effort to rinse the bitter taste of season 4 outta the mouth? I bet Dr. Heightmeyer would say something wise about coping mechanisms.

S1 of SGA (early episodes, where Shappard's misconduct wasn't so obvious)

Not to mention Shep getting away with things that would get him an extra bonus of about 20 years in Fort Leavenworth. The writing was sooooooooooooooo out of character and generally bad that I wanted to go after the TPTBs myself (HK-47 just wouldn't be appropriate anymore)

I've been watching DS9 too, it's on TV at the moment and mother likes it, I generally have some music channel on or the radio, also the Four Hills ski jumping tournament starts on sunday so that's going to take up 4 days of TV

I saw a few minutes of it, and when my sister announced that bit of news earlier today my jaw practically hit the floor. I'll be seeing it on Saturday with friends. We'll be having a Dr. Who get-together.


Dr. Who definitely holds the title of longest running scifi show, has the most seasons and is still going very well.

Take the episode with a very large pinch of salt, it's a bit of a pastiche of disaster movies

Thanks for that, I've often wondered what it meant after it was mentioned in NCIS

[Gregorius]

Either way, TPTB lose.

Heh, I've been rewatching season 1 of Farscape these days. What a great show that was! Well-written and consistently unpredictable characters/starships. Interesting storylines. Continuity. *cough* SGA could have had all those things.

Not to mention non-American accents and ..... muppets! It's a shame that show got cancelled, since it had the best portrayed and written villians I've seen in a long time on TV. Plus they didn't really make a distinction between which side was good and which was evil, but let a lot play in the grey areas.

I'm watching Doctor Who, Torchwood, B5, DS9, Life on Mars, Farscape, and some anime series.

Do you eat, sleep and breathe?

Do you eat, sleep and breathe?

I do that too and I'm reading books, go outside, post on GW, etc... I'm very busy and yet I'm also bored which probably explains why the list of what I'm doing and what I'm doing at the same time keeps growing

[Reefgirl]

Can't beat me for bordem, I'm crocheting a throw for my sofa I've got 4 of 9, 28 round rectangles done and I've got 100 Greatest Movie Soundstracks playing on the TV that's bordem

[Gregorius]

I think boredom differs per person.
