Well, even with SGA coming to an end we still appreciate some of the writing for the past 5 years and last half season to come. We know it was not lost of interest or ratings the reason for the show ending but what are you going to do, the decision has been made. I think the show has become more interesting and the writing has been more out of the box. I would like to give a shout out to Alan McCullough, who has not only impressed me once, or twice, or three times, but four times in writing an episode that makes the fan/viewer really think and sit there on the edge of their seat.
Alan McCullough's aired eps to date...
Tabula Rasa, The Seer, Spoils of War, Outcast, The Kindred, Daedalus Variations, and The Queen.
Alan joined the writing team in Season 4, and he has written some great episodes and pitched some very interesting ideas. I think he added a lot to this show.
The other writer's have also raised the bar. Martin Gero has been the mid-season episode go to guy since season one. He has pitched and written eps like, The Eye, The lost Boys, The Return, Be All my Sins Remember'd, First Contact, and the most anticipated "The Lost Tribe" which I think has a chance to get people banging their heads on the table to why this amazing show has been non-renewed by it's production company when there are so many stories to be told.
Of course the writers and producers are a team, and this team has raised the bar numerous times. "The Lost Tribe" likely being yet another example. We shall soon see.
Also wanted to add Brad Wright's brilliant work on "The Shrine". Shows how much these characters have come along and developed.
Atlantis has always had a darker feel to it. More issues with morals and human sacrifice, and leaving friends behind. SG-1 was good at that also, but SGA just had that more darker tone.....no it was not the light setting. Some eps like "Miller's Crossing", "The Shrine", "The Seer", and Ghost in the Machine really made you think about morals and what was wrong or right and if this was the right course of action or not. Episodes like these always added more depth to the show and it's characters.
So, discuss which episode you think had some of the best writing and how you think it added to the show and it's characters.
