Season 5 episode tidbits/discussion/speculation (potential spoilers)

[Falcon Horus]

well so far any used SG-1 ideas have been developed pretty differently in the respective Atlantis eps so I wouldn't worry about that

Err, I have a different idea on that...especially in season 4...but hey, I hope it changes.

ok so we have different opinions. but whether you liked them or not, don't you agree that the eps turned out completely different?

[Gregorius]

Jack jr because there's one ep where womething similar happened to O'Neill (again: one ep)?

You don't get it, it's because of one ep but it's because of how he acts. He's cocky against enemies, he's intelligent but behaves as if he's an idiot but when needed he outsmarts the smartest minds and gives them the idea they work out to save the day, he has a certain disregard for authority, his ATA gene is as special and strong as Jack's, etc..

It are all these little things that make me think of him being written as Jack Jr. but with added kirkpowers because he's young.

ok so basically Shep is O'Neill, Teyla and Ronon are a combination of Teal'c and Vala, Ford is Cam, Weir is Hammond/Landry, Rodney is Carter, Chuck is Walter, Beckett and Keller are Frasier and Lam etc.

I know you didn't say they were but you can find traces of SG-1 characters in every single one of the Atlantis team. so they're the same? no. Shep might remember us of O'Neill but he's a totally different person, different background, other training, they're a generation apart etc. and while I may agree that he was an O'Neill clone in the first few eps I certainly think Shep was written differently over the past few seasons

No, you don't get it. It's about how the characters are being written. Sheppard is being written as younger version of O'Neill. The other characters are written differently from their SG-1 "counterparts", all but Sheppard.

And I respectfully disagree with that, since in my opinion he's slowly becomming more and more O'Neill, Jr..

ok. I still think that O'Neill and Shep are different persons, maybe slightly alike because of their jobs but nothing more. let's just agree to disagree before this gets even more OT

Not always.

[Jumper_One]

Not always.

no? then I guess I'm missing something

[jelgate]

Not always.

I see a rehash arguement coming. Was that your sinster intentiond FH.

Nope, not at all (and I mean that, no sarcasm, just me).

[Jumper_One]

Nope, not at all (and I mean that, no sarcasm, just me).

we're all just guessing here anyway, there'd be no point in an argument

[Falcon Horus]

Exactly.

[Jumper_One]

Exactly.

I just wish we'd know more about s5, then we could actually discuss some stuff. but I guess it's still a little early

My "guesses" weren't assumptions at all... they just made me laugh.
