Now the fun can begin...

[_Ancients_]

Spoiler:

Now that they have enough power and a majority of the systems are starting to come on line, I am ready for them to start discovering more of the ship. Hopefully they can learn more about the Ancients while they are at it.

Oh god I hope so. I bet the newer viewers have no idea what these 'Ancient' things are they keep talking about

Seems as the next episode is called Water i wouldn't get your hopes up for lots of ship exploration for the moment.

I'd love it if it were true, but power restoration doesn't guarantee access to those subsystems.

The main controls are likely going to have to be cracked, but at least Young can send his "people around to start turning every bloody system on" again

Please, for the love of God, NO!

[Orion Antreas]

Please, for the love of God, NO!

Why?

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Why?

I second that why.

Why

Sorry...pointless post...just wanted to see Teal'c

Some of the most intriguing and fun episodes in Atlantis were when they found new places within the city itself, experiments or otherwise.
I found these much more enjoyable then wraith stories or the 'random medival civilization of the week' stories.

Of course, Universe also has the potential to have Stargates on really weird planets - and given the premise that there will be no "rubber face" or english speaking aliens - the exploration should be much more interesting then the usual "Forest planet with a village of some human looking aliens that have a society with some twist/secret to it".

Given the previous behaviour of the show maybe this episode is about them having fun in the showers :/

I'd "red" you if I could!

Im hoping for them to finally find the bridge too...

[GateroomGuard]

The time of the maguffins is at hand.

[Trelak]

This ship will reveal alot about the ancients, so i'm exited , but also the new aliens sound cool. i wonder how they will communicate etc

[Flyboy]

I second that why.

Because then the series will once again, just as with Sg1 S9-AoT and SGA become 'about the ancients'.

For once the Ancient tech has worked for me. Why? Cause it's not doing us a favour all the time. It's just there. And because we can't use it, the show remains about us. Who we are. Where we come from. I do NOT want to see SGU become ANOTHER God damn show about an millenia old alien race who seem to be God's gift to the universe in every role except compassion. The ancients THOROUGHLY piss me off, as does TPTB inexplicable obsession with them since S7 of SG1. They ruined Stargate for me, because TPTB couldn't just keep them confined to SGA, and I do not want what is essentially a HUMAN character driven show to once again fall into the trap of obsessing over how great the ancients are.

Want ancients? Go watch SGA and SG1 S8-AoT.

(Just my opinion)

[Hermiiod]

Please, for the love of God, NO!

Agreed.

next up:

Spoiler:

evil Asgard suits: more racial ingenuity thrown at the window for purposeful ancient worshiping by the writers.
*pukes*

then again, should've seen that coming. these suits must have cost a pretty penny, too expensive for 2 episodes.

well I so hope so, I have been waiting for some action and for it to get a bit like the old sg-1 ( exploring new worlds)

[creed462]

They also have to figure out what happened to the water so there may be some ship exploration to solve that problem

My thinking at the end of this episode:
Well, now that we've got THAT out of the way, maybe the good part of the show can start. I was sad to think that the first 25% of the season is something I hope to never have to think about again. Maybe now that the cast has "faced their doom" they can be less annoying.

This was the best episode so far, though that is damning with faint praise.

Doesn't have to be like SG1, doesn't have to be "like" anything else other than a show I enjoy watching. I'm optimistic!
