How should the Atlantis Movie open? spoilers for any SGA eps possible

[IrishPisano]

no, no, NO!

nothing from atlantis or SGA should ever have anything to do with Abydos.....
abydos, the goa'uld, and the jaffa are one probably the 3 only things that SGA has not touched in terms of stories...... we all see what sga did to the antarctic chair, carter, landry, hammond, replicators, etc.... they should leave what is solely SG-1 alone...

[Crazedwraith]

The problem with Abydos is that as far as we know: it's a desert world. Atlantis has always been on water as far as we know. Landing on Abydos with out breaking the city would present a problem.

i think it should be in media res (where the film starts halfway into the story)

someting like atlantis is stuck in space trying to get back to pegasus, the 1st bit of the film shows how they got there

[BeardedKirk]

I'm going to go for something very similar to the very opening of rising. Your following a puddle jumper over the Antartic at night, before it goes over a tundra towards the now excavated outpost... following the puddle jumper the camera is slowly losing ground on the fleeing puddle Jumper until it reaches the outpost... the camera circles around it until you are 180 degrees and you see what was following you.... Atlantis, coming home... Docking with the outpost and settling into the ice with another puddle jumper trailing behind before joining with the first and heading towards the hanger which is pitch black... And as the camera goes into the darkness the opening credits start....

Nice set up with no inclination of what will happen in the movie...

[IrishPisano]

how about a nuclear explosion in san fran harbor?

[BeardedKirk]

What is it about cloaked ships & San Fransisco anyway? First a Klingon Bird of Prey & now Atlantis.... "Everyone, remember where we parked!"

[IrishPisano]

how about SGA starts with the complete and full dialing sequence of the gate....

from someone hitting all 7/8 buttons... to all 7/8 chevrons engaging and locking, to the activation, to the kawoosh...... then to the full travel through the wormhole... and then out the other puddle....

you know, bc it's STARGATE and all... and they haven't used stargates in a very long time on SGA, so it seems

[jelgate]

I seem to recall the Stargate being used in EATG

[IrishPisano]

they must have made a mistake then



LOL

Heh, good point! Uh... It was late... We were tired...

no, no, NO!

What could possibly happen to Abydos that hasn't already happened? It's a dead planet. Moot point, though, what with the whole water thing and all!

Im pretty sure the technological advances that came out of the Atlantis expedition made enough money to build a giant statue of liberty made completely out of gold 30 times over. Remember how shocked Wallace was with the tech level?

It not that have not got money to spend of Atlantis, it that wot allocate the money to Atlantis, and if do allocate the money Atlantis expedition cannot spend it to repair the vessel.

if this carp story...... it is carp btw, pure carp... very fishy..... especially given TPTB's seemingly distaste for SG-1 (ever notice how they made landry and hammond out like jack****es on sga, and turned carter into a civilian when she's really a very professional military person, oh, and how they destroyed the chair)..... their motives are carp, aka very fishy....

anywho, you can't leave atlantis on earth
unless you're george w. bush
and by that i mean that we awoke the wraith....... its our responsibility to clean up our mess (unlike w, hence the comparison) ergo Atlantis MUST return to PG, preferably with like half the drones from antarctica, like 6 zpms, and go "wormhole hopping" around PG taking out the wraith.....
i mean how can tptb expect us to buy a storyline where we do not clean up the mess in PG?

The best way and easiest to clean up the mess is to leave the galaxy, Wraith will be force to sleep because of their severly limit their food supply problem.
Why the wraith goes to sleep we can continue to work on the Hoffman drug, they already decrease the numbers it kills, with tok'ra superior biological understanding of the humans and their overall superior knowledge base would not take long for them to develop the drug to be 99.99% percent safe. Then use the stargate network to deploy it the same way the NID went about deploy the symbiote poison. Problem solved.

Well, that's quite true, and that would be a problem. Hmmm. How to get around the rank problem... It's a bit tricky, because that is a valid concern from outside the internal logic of the show, but doesn't affect the actual logic of them staying in the Milky Way at all...
Any notions?

You get round problem by making them mission specialists when it come to the Wraith and put them in charge of defence preparations.

Good idea!

[Replicator Todd]

We could have more Replicators.....I'm never tired of them! The SGA movie could be about the city cloak malfunctioning allowing the people in San Fran to see it, along with maybe some old SG-1 enemies.

why would you want SG-1 enemies in an SGA show, when the SGA enemies are still out there?
the wraith are still running around in PG
Michael could very well still be out there (he's not explicitly dead)
the Asurans are still floating in space... you never know with them
etc

i for one would like for SG-1 and SG-A to remain as disconnected as possible... i mean the SGC is fine to include, as is Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'C and other SGC personnel...... but please, PLEASE, leave the SG-1 enemies for SG-1...... and stick to the SGA enemies that are still not defeated

[Replicator Todd]

I'm assuming that there will be more than one movie, of course the SGA enemies need to be dealt with, i'm hoping Micheal is still alive too!
