    Stargate Rewatch: Atlantis Season Three Nominations

    Nominations, Please!

    It's time to nominate the very best of Stargate Atlantis's third season!

    Please read these special notes before you nominate.

    Since the SG-1 guest stars always seem to be winning in the "Best Guest Star" category, we're taking your advice and spinning them off into their own category: Best SG-1 Crossover. Please nominate the actor and the specific episode. (RDA is eligible for multiple episodes this season, and more than one may make the ballot.) It's not just main cast members who are eligible: any actor who has previously appeared on Stargate SG-1 (as the same character) is eligible here.

    That means that this month, to help us highlight the best of Atlantis as its own series, SG-1 cast members are not eligible for the Best Guest Star category. However, we will still take nominations here of actors who have been on SG-1 but weren't regular cast members. So folks like Gary Jones, Bill Dow, etc. would be eligible in either of these categories.

    As with previous months, the category of "Best Villain" is meant for a single, individual character. So if you want to nominate the Wraith, the Genii, etc., that would fit into "Best Race." Think of individual characters for the category of "Best Individual Villain."

    Let me also encourage you to think outside the box and not necessarily nominate the Wraith, the city of Atlantis, and all the other mainstays that are consistent throughout all five years of the series. We're looking to diversify the award-winners season-by-season, so we may end up disqualifying some of these very common go-to favorites.

    You can review the SGA Season One Award winners here, and Season Two's winners here.

    We'll take nominations in this thread for the first half of the month, and then unveil the award ballot for voting on the GateWorld home page the second half of the month. At the end of August, we'll announce the winners to wrap up this season of the Stargate fan community Rewatch project.


    The Categories:
    (Remember, keep your noms limited to SGA Season Three only!)
    • Best Episode (Season Three)
    • Best Sheppard Moment
    • Best McKay Moment
    • Best Teyla Moment
    • Best Ronon Moment
    • Best Weir Moment
    • Best Beckett Moment
    • Best Team Moment
    • Best Alien Race
    • Best Individual Villain
    • Coolest Ancient Technology
    • Coolest Alien Technology
    • Best SG-1 Crossover (based on one specific Season Three episode)
    • Best Guest Star (based on one specific Season Three episode)

    (You can also suggest categories for next month's Atlantis Season Four Awards.) Remember that the best alien race, villain, and technology you nominate don't have to be new to the franchise in Season Three, but they do have to make an appearance in Atlantis Season Three!


    Here's How to Nominate:

    There's a poll above for the first category, Best Episode. You may vote for up to THREE episodes. (If you vote for any more, we'll have to disqualify all your votes.) You must use the poll for your "Best Episode" nominations to be counted (don't just post them below). Remember, this is just the nomination stage. The top vote-getters will square off in the official poll.

    For all other categories, just post below. Two rules:

    Please specify the episode! ("That one where McKay says 'Oh, come on!'" won't be counted.)

    One nomination per category per person, please! So think about it, watch some episodes, and come back and post. (If we detect fake "sock" accounts stuffing the nominations box, ALL your noms will be disqualified.)

    The final ballot will include those with the most nominations, so don't skip over something because someone else already posted it. Nominate what you think is the best of the best!

    Nominations will close on or around Friday, August 17. Thanks!

                    Best Episode (Season Three)
                    The Return (Pt 2)

                    Best Sheppard Moment
                    Defiant in the face of capture and torture by Koyla using a Wraith as an ingenious instrument of torture to suck Sheppard’s life in increments, he forms an alliance with the Wraith, engineering their escape by mutual co-operation. (Common Ground)

                    Best McKay Moment
                    Facing death after being infused with the knowledge and abilities of the Ancients he reaches the state of mind to achieve ascension, even if for a moment. (Tao of Rodney)

                    Best Teyla Moment
                    Playing the mind games with the Wraith Queen they find in an Ancient underwater laboratory. (Submersion)

                    Best Ronon Moment
                    Fighting for his life when the Wraith capture and throw him back on his destroyed home world as a ‘Runner’ to be hunted once again. (Sateda)

                    Best Weir Moment
                    Facing two different realities, which is real? The recovery after a nervous breakdown due to stressful international negotiations, or a place called Atlantis where mankind wanders out amongst the Stars? (The Real World)

                    Best Beckett Moment
                    Without a thought for his safety he continues his efforts to save lives and pays the ultimate price. The farewell conversation on the pier in McKay’s mind showed what made Beckett such a caring, considerate member of the team and good friend, even to Mckay. (Sunday)

                    Best Team Moment
                    WEIR (over comms): May I have your attention? As you all know, we have found ourselves in a spot of trouble. The reality is that no matter where we try to hide on this planet, the Replicator satellite will be able to track us. Therefore, Doctor McKay and Colonel Sheppard have come up with a rather ingenious way for us to escape the satellite’s range altogether. In the next few hours, we will fire the city’s stardrive and head into space. Atlantis is leaving this planet.

                    All on Atlantis working together to achieve what seemed impossible. Dragging an asteroid to block the satellite's destructive beam to give some more time to get the stardrive working was an amazing feat. (First Strike)

                    Best Alien Race
                    Asurans (Progeny)

                    Best Individual Villain
                    Koyla (Common Ground)

                    The real time planetary observation/interaction technology. (The Game)

                    Coolest Alien Technology
                    Asuran Satellite (First Strike)

                    Best SG-1 Crossover (based on one specific Season Three episode)
                    Richard Dean Anderson/Jack O’Neill (The Return- pt 2)

                    Best Guest Star (based on one specific Season Three episode
