Just finished watching this episode and you have no idea how much it made me miss The Next Generation... do you remember when leaders in sci-fi shows were driven by morality? I know Atlantis is based more in the 'today' version of humans and that moral standards these days have gone slightly out of fashion, but even in the original Stargate we always had Daniel and sometimes Sam arguing the moral high ground. Atlantis looks more and more like a sci-fi version of GITMO... to me anyway.
I've never thought the Stargate / Atlantis story was particularly well written, many times the characters had to look like fools just to maintain the storyline, but I suspend disbelief because it was entertaining and inventive..
Ghost in the machine however has left me with a serious dislike to all the main characters, I sincerely hope the next episode will show it was all in a VR and weir just proved herself.. cause I can't see myself continuing to watch this series as its always relied on the viewer caring what happens to the main characters.. I mean where is the suspense if I am actually hoping Shep gets the life drained out of him? Anyway I'm done ranting, for now.
