      I hear you, Sally. As for that pic...nice except who's up front. Maybe someone can photoshop it for us and fix it!

They pushed JF to the front, had it so you could see ALL of RL's body, iirc, the main science guy looked pensive in the back, maternal figure right behind that and to the side, and the rogue alien guy is at the back looking decidedly... roguish.

        You'd think they'd have tried something new for the MOTHER series (and yes, I consider it a mother series - NOT a sister series - grr). I mean... seriously... Does ANYONE have a link to last season's Atlantis promo pic? It's almost identical in terms of "importance" and placement.
        so this 'jf' and 'rl' are from atlantis?

        **i just deleted a super snarky paragraph (or two) about why i think bb should not be lead of this show. why? because of wasn't proud of myself. and i'll shut up now.**


        thinks nice thoughts about sam and amanda. (and s/j ship )

          Wow. That promo looks damn good. Hope the show is just as promising. Thanks for the link, guys.

            Yep. Seriously, throw some ankle deep water in there (instead of the grassy landscape), and it'd pretty much be the exact same ad as Atlantis' last year. What happened to originality?

              Well, we can be grateful that Sam is where she is and Vala is where she is. At least she hasn't been pushed too far into the background. Hey, I'm trying to see the bright side of things.

                Yes, but they showed all of CB's body for a reason. It's a clear - if not subliminal - point they're making about what purpose her character serves. They did it with RL last year as well... I just have to find the damn ad. THAT'S gonna bug me. I'm sure it's online somewhere.

                And though I'm glad AT/Sam isn't relegated to the "hot body" position, I really, really wish that CB/Vala wasn't either.

                    Well, if Teal'c would switch places with Mitchell and scoot over, I'd get a clear view of Sam and Daniel(*drools*), and Mitchell and Vala would be hidden behind Teal'c's massive muscles. That could work.

                    That was a bit mean, I admit, but they could have taken a more team-like photo, instead of the "Cam and his friends" pic. And it DOES look like that Atlantis shot!

                      Ok some of you will probably hate this, but I started tinkering with the promo shot and ended up with this

                        Anyone else think that the layout of this poster is really odd? I mean beside the fact that Mitchell is obviously THRUST once again into our faces. I know Amanda is rather tall for a woman, but doesn't Landry look like a dwarf beside her?

                          It's just too bad we can't dwarf Cam, you know shrink him right out of the show.

                            I believe this was an excellent shot.
                            Spoiler:

                            That's back when SG-1 meant family. I miss those days...

                              Without going off on some kind of weird, freaky art diatribe, um, yes. The entire compostion of the piece is hinky. The ad doesn't work because it has no spatial logic. This brings to mind something Pre-Renaissance along the lines of Cimabue or Berlinghieri, where the artist didn't know how to accurately convey a realistic space with depth, and instead fell back on hierarchical scaling to fill up the frame. The only difference is that back in the late 13th/early 14th century art hadn't moved beyond such rudimentary depictions.

                              Here in this piece, the characters were obviously just dropped in together against the background. Daniel is in the actual foreground relative to the others, but then Cameron is plastered over the foreground in a confused, slapdash manner. Even the placement of the rest of the characters is artlessly done. On top of all that, everyone's gaze is directed to a different spot. That automatically confuses the viewer, as does the mismatched poses of the characters. Teal'c and Vala point you to the left frame, Sam to the right, Landry faces straight ahead, Mitchell is moving to right, but Daniel is focused to the left distance. In short, there is no center, no focus to the ad, and therefore, no real meaning or underlying message trying to be conveyed. It's just a bunch of images pasted together. How professional.

                              ETA: Funny enough, this looks possibly like something I would come up with. This is not a compliment; the mistress of art, she visits me not. Seriously, I'm like Unas level here.

                                So you're saying there's a lack of focus and unity and point to it, conveyed with amateurish and stylistically lacking haste? Heh... sounds about right for the post RDA Stargate
                                [claps hands over mouth] did I say that?
