You are a work of art, in a good way. With out you this place would be a boring. All I ask is to hold back every now an then cause responding to huge posts can be a drag.
I actually liked "The Tower" It was the first Atlantis Episode that I watched and it got me hocked on the Series. So this is more opinion than anything. It's a good normal Stargate episode, go through the gate-get in trouble- get out of it-and go home.
That is just a awesome display of Mckay Vs Shepperd. There was nothing out of Character about it. Not liking something about a character is one thing but turning a "Negative" trait into bad writing is grossly inaccurate.
have you ever watched none trek Sci-fi? That was expected and it will always be in every show. From Female System Lords to Vala to Larrin to anything else. It is nothing new. And what if she likes to Show off her cleavage? WHat if that's a commander's standard Garment? We know nothing about these people.
What's next, I thought? The obvious answer (and what I immediately assumed upon seeing her) was lots of 'UST' and sexual innuendo. It starts out pretty innocently with "Be a shame to have to do too much damage"
Just some foreshadowing of said material. Nothing bad, kind off funny considering the character's personality.
I found that Funny.
Pure opinion, and nothing wrong with your opinion, I just don't share it.
The Actor may off looked, but that does not mean that He was supposed to look. One of the Forum rules is to Leave the Actors alone.
Interesting experiment. They should have had better controlled situations. I'd hardly call it scientific. And it has nothing to do with the Episode.
Reread my comment on the actor.
Or like I do when talking to Guys or gals He just took an Eye brake and looked down. Note that I, A straight man, also mentioned Guys. It's a perfect human action during a conversation.
Once again, leave the Actor out of this. and reread what is writen above.
once again, funny. Pure opinion.
Did anyone noticed that it was their best chance to survive and Both of them hated it? It was once again funny.
Opinion, and do you really think that the Good Guy would just let her die?
My Mom did when I fell of my bike while learning how to ride, does that mean she is a disgusting freak? Pure opinion based on a dirty mind, sorry.
But how to you keep them from falling back down?
No, as TV dictates
Jack, Daniel, Carter, Teal'c have done this...Oh my
Stargate's a porn show!!
Learned what? That people can kiss on TV?
Or it could be that the small portion of Fan dome that is Gateworld of who decided to vote didn't like these episodes as much as others.
Actualy...Statistics on a Fanwebsite aren't that accurate when it comes to the big picture.
once again, Rodney VS Mckay
It wasn't the best out there. I found it slitly funny and it got rid of 1 hour. I rate this as average.
Well, some women didn't
You mean on TV. TV.TV.TV That's why its not good to watch too much TV. It is bad to get into TV too much maybe even sinful.
Perhaps they were targeting an Adolescent Audience?
I won't say that this made my "rewatch" list but it wasn't bad. And once agian this is a matter of opinion
What????

I just knew I was in for a piece of (crappy) work when the episode starts with Rodney taking a shot at John volunteering to go on a boring mission because the indigenous people (and I quote) "had little to no social inhibitions" to which John responds that they were "very friendly". Oh yes, PTB, very mature.
And then, he gets taken captive and who should pop up as the leader of said captors? While all of the male captors are clad in brown possible mocha leather, she lone female (who, in according to Stargate practice is "hot") is clad in black leather... with deep cleavage. Yes, let's not just make the alien hot, but because she's got big breasts, she must have a deep cleavage.
What's next, I thought? The obvious answer (and what I immediately assumed upon seeing her) was lots of 'UST' and sexual innuendo. It starts out pretty innocently with "Be a shame to have to do too much damage"
- Not bad, but you just knew it'd go downhill from there (like the line about "not shooting too fast" and how "that was probably not John's first time hearing that from a woman").
And the sexual innuendo aren't even said in a "humurous" way a la Vala where there's a twinkle in her eye and her flirting doesn't actually lead anywhere.
Highly Speculative (and possibly wrong: Then Joe Flanigan himself gave us a very shameful moment.
What was said moment? I believe it was The Jamie Kennedy Experiment that once featured an experiment where a woman wore a baggy shirt and went out with a fake petition, trying to get random men on the street to stop and talk to her. Almost no one did. But once she switched into one with a big cleavage, they did. And they kept staring down at it, exposing themselves to the hidden camera in her broach or whatever. Note that this is speculation, however.
Interesting experiment. They should have had better controlled situations. I'd hardly call it scientific. And it has nothing to do with the Episode.
Maybe he did find said chalice very interesting. Or maybe the writers called for the character of John Sheppard to ogle her boobs.
So what did Joe Flanigan do? At 06:43, his gaze inexplicably drifts from her eye-level down to her chest-level and then quickly back up again. Either he suddenly found the chalice she was holding extremely interesting in the middle of her speech or he just wanted to "sneak a peek".
However, as the Jamie Kennedy Experiment proved, it's a very heterosexual male thing to do, what with breast being indoctrined as one of the most important parts of a woman's body and all, so we can't completely blame him.
This was followed by Laryn saying "There's all kinds of useful things you could do for me" followed by "goofy music". And since we know the bar's set pretty low, of course it's a double entendre.
And then I won't bore you, or myself, with the details because I'm currently too mad at the writers to view the entire episode again, but was anyone surprised they'd eventually be locked up in "close quarters" together. It's one of the ultimate clichés, The UST in the Closet-moment.
And then she was fed on. Of course, we all assumed she'd die and we'd finally get rid of the immature theme, but nooooooo. The moment the Wraith said he hadn't completely killed her (at first I was so glad, I was elated), we all knew the Gift of Life was coming (and what a sucky episode to reintroduce something so great in, much like how Kolya appeared briefly in Irresponsible only to die at the end of it).
Then he bent down to "help her get up" and what the Hell was the man doing?! Who the Hell helps someone get up from the floor by putting one arm around their waist?!
You do it by taking her hand(s) and pulling them up! That was soooo copping a feel.
This was, of course followed by a "his face close to hers" moment (complete with heavy breathing), followed by her stumbling and even more close-face-time (as cliché dictates).
And then they kissed. We all knew it was gonna happen. By the way, see my companion thread, "Why Colonel Space Slut Should Not Be In Command", for my reaction on this.
Stargate's a porn show!!
I really thought the writers, producers and everyone involved in this show would have learned by now.
For those who don't know, which three episodes do you think got voted in as Worst Episodes in Stargate Atlantis History for seasons 1-2? Yes, that's right, Sanctuary (John x Chaya), The Tower (John x Space Slut Bimbo Princess Whose Name I Can Never Remember) and Epiphany (John x Delusional Teer). And which two episodes were the by far most hated episodes of season three (if not Stargate history)? That's right, Irresistible (by far more hated) followed by Irresponsible.
"Goofy" and "Funny" little episodes based on double entendres, sexual tension and general immatureness are not popular among Stargate fans. Maybe they assumed the fans here on Gateworld are just part of some snooty little "No Immature Boy Humour"-club, but really?
Of course, John didn't tell Rodney the entire story (good job at lying, man!), but Rodney knew right away and had to point it out. At least we didn't hear the word "Kirk".
Please tell me I'm not going insane. Please tell me that you straight guys didn't find the episode really, really entertaining and well written.
As a gay man who has absolutely no sexual interest in the episode, I found it insulting
Not just to women (by how they're treated as sexual objects on Stargate) and to John
(by how detrimental this episode was to his character) but to us viewers as well, that they'd resort to this adolescent boy-girl-sex-humour!
This episode will be one of the Big Six (Major Suckfests of Stargate Atlantis), Atlantis-episodes which I probably won't watch more than once.
[i]Omigod, omigod you guys[i]. I'm, like, gonna cry. I've got tears coming out of my nose. This is like Titanic, only no one dies.
