What plots from sg1 do you want tobe carried on in Atlantis?

[Atlantis1]

None.

They've got two movies in which to wrap stuff up.

I want to see Atlantis stories on Stargate Atlantis...

I agree!

[Icedragon]

Who cares about SG1 plots coming to Atlantis?! Atlantis has it's own plots from S1-3 it needs to bring over.

Is it just me, or don't you wonder what happened to that entity in Hide and Seek, and what the hell was it?! Why was it captured by the Ancients if it wasnt' one of their creation.

I was under the impression they ancients trapped it to research asencion.

Sora was sent back to the Gennii at the end of i'The Siege II' in return for the nukes they were given. It was cut from the final episode because it ran long & had to be trimmed down!

SAdly, however, if it didn't make it on-screen as part of an episode, it's not considered "canon". The casual viewer who doesn't read discussion threads with the writers online would have no idea what happened to Sora.

Although you have to laugh at the circumstances that the actress who played Sora (Erin Chambers) has landed herself in. She's marrried to a guy names......Carson McKay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably is the Beckett & McKay love child from 'Duet!'

Leading to much hilarity at P2 when she misunderstood a question about who she enjoyed beating up more, Teyla or Carson.. Her hubby was lovely tho - a very sweet guy.

Let the writers tie up that info in the movies, not in SGA. IMHO, any time wasted on any "shippy" type episodes or even small scenes will be stupid even if it involves SGA people! This is not a soap opera, it is Sci-Fi!



Agreed, the only other thing I want is the Asgard tech.

Ok that too.

[Killdeer]

None really except the Ancients. Let SG-1 tie up their stories in the movies. The only thing I wouldnt mind is crossovers.

Completely agree with both of you. No SG1 storylines in Atlantis!

Very few, if any. Let SGA do it's own thing.

I'm not opposed to the idea of SG1 plotlines making their way over because I have anything against SG1, but I oppose them for the same reason that I oppose the continuation of too many plotlines from previous seasons: it ties the hands of the writers. I'm concerned that the attempt to bring back old characters to satisfy any number of fan bases can hobble a show's progression by eating up a bunch of episodes every season. If we expect to see a Kolya episode each season, that's one episode gone. If we expect to see McKay's sister every season, that's another episode gone. If we expect to see Ford or Beckett every season, there's at least two, possibly more episodes gone. We get to a point by say, season ten, where a show starts collapsing on itself under the sheer weight of its prior commitments because nothing new happens.

The problem is not that these references to old episodes happen in general. It is that sometimes subpar episodes are included so that old faces can be brought back to placate particular fan bases, which is good in the short run, but harmful to the long run progression of the show.

Unfortunately, this cuts both ways. On the other hand, writers need to be conscious of the players they have introduced into their world and mindful of when particular plots would rationally make use of these players. For example,

Spoiler:

given that the device from Tao of Rodney works on Rodney, though not necessarily others (it could turn you into a pile of goo), if the city were compromised would Rodney try to go Super-Rodney to save everyone?

As I recall, this was noted more often in SG1, where allies that would have been instrumental have been strangely absent.

Thus, the show walks a fine line. If they devote plot to old familiar faces or stories, they run the risk of creating subpar shows just to appease certain groups. However, if the absence of these players and factors are a glaring omission from new plots, the show will also suffer. I think the best solution is for writers to devise plots independent of the desire to rehash certain stories and then sit down and analyze if any previous canon from the show would help the story. In fact, they should be concerned even if the previous canon hurts the story, because fans will take note. In the end, I believe that reviving old stories should be an aspect, but not a focus of the Stargate franchise. I think the powers that be can find a suitable balance with a little work. They leaned too far towards rehashing old plots with mediocre stories for the sake of returning favourites in SG1, in my opinion, but I am hopeful for Atlantis.

Thats a must. BTW can you tell me where you got that avatar? I must have one!

[PG15]

It's a screencap from the Simpson's episode where RDA makes a guest appearance.

Edited so it says "I love Sam", of course.

No, please. I'm sorry you guys but, please. I'm begging. On my knees begging here. Please! If it's in the movies, fine, but...no, please, not in Atlantis. Gahhhh!

*contemplatively* That might actually be the final straw for me. *ponders*

*brightening* On the realistic side of life, there's been no indications that RDA will be making an appearance, has there been?

Movies: fine
Atlantis: Don't invade this show with something that should have been done in 10 seasons or the movies. It is bad enough Carter is coming over, I don't want to see any "shippy" stories. Soap operas run on CBS, NBC, and ABC not on the Sci-Fi Channel!!! That is my opinion anyway. If you disagree, great, everyone should have their point of view.

[Professor Chaos]

Not the plots exactly, but I wouldn't mind seeing Adria, Hammond, or atleast a mention of the Asgard.

[atlantis_babe34]

No storylines shoud be continued. Atlantis is now its own show, they should be related to Atlantis. Not to tie up an epsodes that SG-1 didnt tie up.. Thats there fault.

sorry im britches shrinking tonight. i'm very critical and picky.. ignore me lol
