Probably not, but we can always bicker on about it.

I wonder what they say on the directors commentary about the Ancient yellow squid killers(yes, I've renamed them). I think if they hadn't made them so yellowish, they wouldn't have come across as so cartoony. Perhaps just a bright white would have been better. I haven't seen Atlantis(not on in Australia as yet) so I don't know whether there is more about the Ancient yellow squid killers.

I haven't got the DVDs yet, because they're not yet out in the UK.
Anyway, I have seen Atlantis...
Spoilers, Rising Pt 1 - Rising Pt 2
Spoiler:The jellyish are actually more white in Atlantis than in the S& finale of SG1, so you've got that. And when they're fired in Atlantis, they don't look like dellyfish. I think it's mainly because they were all fired at once,__

So I finally got a DVD player, and this would be what I bought to test it.
I missed almost all of season seven when it aired for various reasons, and I am sitting here listening to the commentaries having watched the episode full though.
A) Jessica Steen as Dr. Elizabeth Weir. So I've been a big supporter/fan of Dr. Weir as Torri Higginson and one of the handicaps I had in the Battle of the Weirs was the fact that I hadn't seen Steen's portrayal.
So now i have. I have to say right now that I still think that I prefer Higginson. Jessica Steen is a fine actress and I have enjoyed her in other roles, but to me this one didn't seem to fit. She lacks any sense of strength or self confidence. I can't convince myself that this woman is a heavily hitting diplomat.
Seperate from the actress issues I really question the wordrobe choices. Just wasn't digging the fridge skirt or the sweetshirt in the SGC. It just hightened my sense that the character in this portrayal would not have been credible in the Atlantis role.
B) The rest of the episode. It was very well paced, and I enjoyed the feeling as whole. I didn't find myself fast forwarding through anything. The ending seemed rushed, as in fact did the destruction of the carrier battle group.
C) The air force chief of staff managed his lines well. Better than a lot of "as himself" appearances from other figures.

Okay this ep was just shown on T4, so thought I'd come and air my views.
An exciting episode - I think I enjoyed it alot more the first time though.
Hammond commanding the Prometheus, a real hero. The President - sorry just cant take to him at all, I think he's totally smarmy. SG1 saved the day again - nuff said. Excellent fight scenes though.

I really liked the Ancient Weapon: the little squid things, they were a great idea. I'm only up to here as waiting for S8 to come out on DVD (not long now!!!), but I hope we get to learn a bit more about what they were/how they work.
I loved the battle scenes over Antarctica - reminded me of a cooler version of Empire Strikes Back: I just think ships against snow look great & I would have loved to see it on a big screen.
There was a touch of ESB in Jack's *suspension* as well.
Despite some of the negatives I've heard about S8 (I've tried to stay off the S8 threads cos I can't resist spoilers!), this left me wanting more - I'm looking forward to S8.Oy-Vey!!!
