[stewsith]

SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASON 3! DON'T READ ON IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

This is a thread for you to list your likes and dislikes of season 3. No crazy ranting but just simple lists of what you liked and didn't. Don't flame other peoples opinions please.

What really ground your gears in Season three and what made you happy and smile in Season 3?

What made me Smile:

• Rodney shot in the bum
• All of Sateda
• O'neil saving the day in Return
• "fly lucious fly"
• Every time we saw carson in 'Sunday' - "the sport of kings!"
• The Atlantis gateroom exploding in "The Return 2"
• The introduction of the intergalactic bridge
• Atlantis submerging and then Flying in the same episode
• "Meredith?"
• Mckay's Sister
• Rod (the cool rodney)

What ground my gears:

• Ronon's continuing 'angry man' routine
• Replicators (again!)
• Alot less wraith
• Kolya's death
• Lucious came back again
• The Ark
• Every time they missed an opportunity to mention carson after he died
• the way carson died (a semi hero death)
• Atlantis betraying Michael over and over again

What made you smile and what ground your gears? remember, just a list, no crazy ranting or flaming anyone please.

[Commander Ivanova]

Smile: Tao of Rodney, for Rodney's heart-warming interaction with each team member before he 'dies'
Grimace: Sunday, for the shoddy treatment of Carson

[huntress]

What made me smile:

- drugged out Rodney in sickbay after being shot in his ass:
"You have an arrow in your glutaeus maximus." "That sounds painful....wait a second ...that is my ass." "Aye Rodney."
- Carson being hugged by Ronon in "Sateda"
- "The Canadian Football League is a joke. Celine Dion is highly overrated." John and Rodney in sickbay in "Echoes"
- "Meredith???"
- Rodney bonding with everyone before he "dies"

What I hated:

- all I say is exploding tumours
- pretty, perky new doctor anyone and why did they never mention Carson or feel depressed about his death?
- what? again replicators?
- beware the monster bugs are attacking
- none of it is real Elizabeth it was all in your head
- Kolya's death
- the way the ancients were introdcuced and then killed in a blink of a second
- where were the wraith?
- Lucius again and again....
- the way the whole Michael mess was dealth with
- that Brown woman or whatever her name is that Rodney dates
- Teyla and Liz being underexposed throughout the series
- plotholes in general

[Cory Holmes]

"No, no, no. We can't go now, they know too much."

*The Look(tm)* "What'd you tell them?"

"Um, well... th-they guessed most of it."

*smack!* "What, you thought you'd fill in the blanks?"

So if that made you smile, what didn't you like?

[Wormhole]

Some of the highlights I liked so far as Sunday.

Sateda: Carson saving Ronon by firing a Drone into the Wraith and getting all the credit priceless and the look on Rodney's face
Progeny: Seeing The Asuran's City fly (Just a shame it wasn't Atlantis first )
The Return part 2: The Drone chase with the Puddle Jumper + The Team using Woolsey to trick the Replicators
Echoes: Loved the whole episode

Disliked
Irresistible: Will never watch again
Irresponsible: Same will never watch again
Sunday: Killing of Carson, ludicrous

[DougDoug]

The revelation in common ground that the wraith can also give back life, I thought was great.

Lucious I just can't stand, I also don't ever want to see the 2 eps he is in ever again.

[P-90_177]

What made me smile: All of it but particularly:
-Sunday- Such a cool ep and a great end for carson.
-Sateda- Best ep all season I reckon.
-'Mereidith'
-'the tao of rodney'

Grimace:
-Lack of wraith but I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this michael ark.

Peter Griffin: You know what really grinds my gears? Killing off Carson Beckett! Where do you get off???

[Copernicus]

You know what really grinds my gears? How you can never find the galaxy you are looking for.

*watching Wraith nod in agreement*

[ussrelativity]

Peter Griffin: You know what really grinds my gears? Every world we go to in Pegasus is a primitive civilization thanks to the Wraith. Oh, what now? You sneering at me through your TV on your hive ship, now huh?? Yeah, that's right! You want to eat me, but you can't! Huh! You like that one, don't you? Too bad! Go cry to your queen, nyah!

And that's what grinds my gears.
