I completely disagree with this review

Same here, and I can't really take this as a professional write-up when the reviewer doesn't even bother to spell a major character like Ronon's name correctly...

Never said it was 'pro', but a blog review. And well, considering how many threads on this board have misspellings ... *cough*

I guess you are right, I know I'd be dead without spellcheck!

SGA - Joe Flanigan - Hollywood Exclusive: Flanigan Hopes For More Character Development:

Flanigan Hopes For More Character Development On 'Stargate Atlantis'

THE VIDEOLAND VIEW: The fifth season of "Stargate Atlantis" launches July 11 — with several cast changes, including a shift from starring to recurring status for Amanda Tapping, and Robert Picardo essentially taking her place as the mission leader on the Sci-Fi series. This "could be" a transitional year, agrees the show's wryly witty star, Joe Flanigan.

"I've been tempered by my experience not to make any bold statements. It's definitely been a different experience for us with the changes. The storylines seem to be a little more sophisticated." But he can't talk about them. Offers Flainigan, "I'll give you one secret: I don't die."

Flanigan does say, "I'd like to see a little more exploration of my character. They're kind of working on a couple of ideas we could possibly do. I certainly don't feel the well is dry in terms of continuing to make these characters interesting. Still, there's no doubt about it — the challenge of keeping a character dynamic through a number of seasons is a real one. In the genre of science fiction maybe less so, because you're dealing with big external threats and bizarre situations," he says.

"Luckily, we all like each other and keep each other sane, which is a major plus," he adds. "If you're going to spend this much time on a project, you'd better enjoy the people you're working with."

What are my chances of getting some Stargate Atlantis scoop? — Linda


Mitovich: Very good, they are! (Oops, I Yoda'd there for a second.) For one, that rumor about the 100th outing being set in Earthly Las Vegas has some teeth to it. "We've yet to break the episode," says exec producer Joseph Mallozzi. "[But] in our initial spinning, we have discussed the possibility of having the best of both worlds — or galaxies, as the case may be." That's just one of more than 20 TVGuide.com reader questions Mallozzi answered for me the other day. Watch for the rest as Premiere Night nears.

So it could be set on both Earth and Atlantis?

Could it have something to do with Area 51 I wonder? I'm inclined to think that the Wraith will find their way to Earth, but not just the SGC this time. I'm probably totally wrong though!

I'd green you for all the info, but it says I need to spread some around first

Mallozzi's blog indicated Vegas for one episode (cringing at that thought). I'm not sure what TPTB's infatuation is with setting the 100th and 200th, etc. episodes on Earth, instead of say, hmm, space

[pilgrim soul]

Joe M said parts of both 5x19 (currently titled Vegas) and 5x20 (the 100th episode) would be filmed "on location". If the whole Vegas thing is for real then the inclusion of Area 51 somewhere in the plot is a reasonable guess - only time will tell.
