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

Heros i don't like at all gads i'm a comic geek and can almost pin point all the plots they have stolen from other comic and shows,, and i hate the giant casts.,.. there is never any focus on the ones you care about.

You are not alone although I do enjoy Heroes.

supernatural .. that's it.. the kripke is god!
thats freaking smart tv imho

Haven't seen that show yet. I'll add it to my list.

I consider most, if not all, crime shows to be boring and as with the science shows they are either filled with misrepresentations and flawed assumptions. Take for example the Mythbusters, a lot of people consider that to be a smart show; I consider it to be boring especially when they take 45 minutes for something you can solve within a few minutes.

The only things worthwhile watching usually are the series made by the BBC, certain showrunners (JMS and Joss Whedon amongst others) and some documentaries.

But I guess I'm being overly demanding or overly critical.

Not at all, I've been banging on about how much better British shows are since the end of Dr Who and putting them up against this series of SGA, the class starts to show. TPTB ought to be made to watch Buffy, B5 and Dr Who, to see how good it can be when you don't let Mary-Sue/Schoolboy Fantasies take over

[g.o.d]

I saw Missing only once (and I had to force myself to hold on until the end) so what was his name?

It is weird to make them a story when even their moving to another planet was mentioned some 10 episodes later.

Kanan spelled like czech word "Kanal" :-))

I am staunch supporter of AU.

Or you could say - it doesn't matter if you're sitting on top of pile of crap - it's still a pile of crap.

British movies also are superior to American movies, then again most European series, shows and movies are superior to their American counterparts. I mentioned it before but I think this has something to do the far less flashy usage of CGI in European stuff.

They need to watch those series and take notes. They'll be tested afterwards on what they learned and their final grade will be 25% test score and 75% of what the season of their series was like.

[parisindy]

Same here. Canon what canon?!

just the one shooting us anti's in the buttocks hehe

It might take some time before I get to see it considering the other series I still need to watch (Granted, most are anime series but still).

Okay, I'm done with season 1, and I'm about to start on season 2.

Here are the results of the screen- and wordcount for the first season of Stargate Atlantis (yes, I have too much time on my hands at the moment):

Spoiler:

Season 1
AVERAGE TOT. SCREENTIME = 40m02s
AVERAGE TOT. WORDCOUNT = 4466

Joe Flanigan as John Sheppard
AVERAGE SCREENTIME JOE = 12m42s

Most in The Rising - 30m24s (pilot counts as one episode)
Least in Hot Zone - 7m15s

AVERAGE WORDCOUNT JOE = 774

Most in Sanctuary - 1378
Least in Before I Sleep - 431

Torri Higginson as Elizabeth Weir
AVERAGE SCREENTIME TORRI = 8m36s

Most in Before I Sleep - 27m35s
Least in Childhood’s End - 1m52s

AVERAGE WORDCOUNT TORRI = 672

Most in Before I Sleep - 1526

AVERAGE WORDCOUNT DAVID = 1009

Most in Hot Zone - 1766
Least in Poisoning The Well - 233

For the full document...you'll have to PM me. And I'm still working on it, for I want to compare all seasons to one another. I only take the people who are in the opening credits. As you know Rainbox disappeared from the credits, yet he will still be counted, just as Torri will in season 4. And because she's my favorite character on the show, also included is Claire's screentime and wordcount.

I'm sorry ..possible blonde moment.. but why are we counting this info?

[Falcon Horus]

I'm sorry ..possible blonde moment.. but why are we counting this info?

I am counting the info because it happens a lot that screentime of actors is pulled into a discussion. And someone else will counter that it's not just screentime that is important, but what happens during that time.

So, I decided once and for all to proof that McKay and Sheppard are in fact the only two who get decent screentime, and have more words to learn and speak in an episode than any of the other characters who appear in the main credits.

I am out to proof that TPTB have no idea what to do with the characters whose names aren't Sheppard or McKay. That Teyla, Ronon, Ford, Weir & Beckett are the secondary characters (which makes Zelenka a tertiary one, Kate fourth in line) and that they are usually forgotten.

And yes, at the moment I have too much time on my hands and it's something to keep me from going completely insane.
