SG-1:

Claudia Black, as she normally appears, and after being attacked by evil Photoshop fairies...



Ditto for Christopher Judge....

Hmm, maybe I should change Shep's signature from "no one touches the hair" to "no one Photoshops my face!"

[JessM]

it took me a minute to realize why Chris Judge looked so odd... he looks like someone ODed him on Botox. NO facial expression whatsoever.

Scifi, please talk to the people who photoshopped these images and tell them we like human beings, not department store mannequins!

I second this!

I really like the Atlantis ones better. They look more natural and not photoshopped to death. I really hope that some better SG-1 ones are on the way.

Oh... UGH... it's just blatant bad Photoshop!! And yeah, I agree about CJ...

LOL.

It's not the "casual look" that bothers me as much as the horrible airbrushing done on the photos. SO completely unnecessary. I didn't even recognize Claudia Black. She literally looks plastic. WTF is SFC doing this to these cast photos? They nearly ruined the BSG ones last season. The new Atlantis ones are nearly overdone, and now this.

Close out Photoshop, put the mouse down and walk away. If they must do these to the cast photos, hire someone with better skills in Photoshop, and the knowledge that less is more.

I do find it interesting that while Vala is "paired" with Daniel on the show, she is in a promo picture with Cam. It just goes to show that they are trying to play up the Farscape conection to the show. I have to admit that is a pet peeve of mine. It's like Stargate can't survive without Farscape.

I'm a FS fan AND a fan of Ben and Claudia and their John/Aeryn roles and it's a pet peeve of mine too (although they do look fabulous in the photo together). Still, I'd prefer that they not pair them up like that. It ignites that whole FS/SG1 antagonism which I'm tired of.

Then again...it looks like Cam is paired with everyone--Landry, Sam and Vala, then with the two guys, Daniel and Teal'c. The boy does get around, doesn't he.

That being said...new glasses. Yes! I hope he keeps them. I want Vala's blue jeans and that green top. The photos, while a bit overbrushed, are still lovely. I think the cast is in the running for prettiest on TV, right on par with "Lost" (and much better groomed ) LOL!







ETA: one of you guys mentioned that Claudia Black was almost unrecognizable--I'd have to agree. I think she looks a LOT better in the production stills from "Flesh and Blood".

And LOL about the Battlestar photos. There was a great thread on Live Journal poking fun at those photos last year.

Exactly- I thought Torri Higgensen especially was way overdone last year, but this year she looks great. I really like the Atlantis photo (but still, they should let Rachel wear something a little more natural). They look like people! Unlike the SG-1 photo which made me think of a wax museum.....

Oh well, as long as these photos don't reflect the quality of the show I'm all game for season ten!

Of course Chris Judge has no facial expression he's in 'Teal'c mode'. Has Teal'c ever been known to constantly smile from ear to ear? Also, has it ever occurred that these are the characters and not the actors that are in these pictures--characters that are not in their uniforms; but instead in regular clothes?

Also, what's with the 'they don't look normal or real' mess? I bet if they were shown au natural with eye bags, pimples, 5 o'clock shadows, greying hair and facial lines, people on here would be like "Ewww, he or she could've looked better than that". "Why didn't she use concealor on those eyes."

That's people for you. Can't ever see the positive in ANYTHING. Always leaning towards the negative----everytime. Sigh.

She's also in a pic paired with Sam. Does that mean Sam/Vala ship?

Or maybe it's because we like the people behind the plastic mask more then the plastic mask...

It's not negative when you want to see a person, and not someone's talent (or lack of) in airbrushing.

[ShardsofGlass]

But this site does tend to be negative about just about everything. It's hard to ignore that about this fandom and this site. Sigh. I wish it weren't so.

lol!! Well, knowing Vala...

Or, because Cam is in the picture with Landry...no, I can't say it.

Sure people are negative, but tbh it still shows that they care... And yes, sometimes people are over critical - more so then I tend to think is required. I tend to ignore that, or I ask them why.

I just don't think it's negative wanting to see the actor and not the shell. Sometimes I think people see negativity where there is only difference of opinion.
