    Stargate Rewatch: Atlantis Season Four Nominations

    Nominations, Please!

    It's time to nominate the very best of Stargate Atlantis Season Four!

    Please read these notes before you nominate.

    This month the new Best SG-1 Crossover category continues! Please nominate the actor and the specific episode. Any SG-1 cast member or recurring guest star is eligible in this category. SG-1's main cast members are not eligible in the Best Guest Star category.

    We have some cast changes in Season Four, so we've added a category for Best Carter Moment and dropped Best Weir Moment and Best Beckett Moment -- since those characters appeared in a small number of episodes as guest stars.

    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 winners for past seasons of SGA here: Season One - Season Two - Season Three.

    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 September, 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 Four only!)
    • Best Episode (Season Four)
    • Best Sheppard Moment
    • Best McKay Moment
    • Best Teyla Moment
    • Best Ronon Moment
    • Best Carter Moment
    • Best Keller 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 Four episode)
    • Best Guest Star (based on one specific Season Four episode)

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


    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 Sunday, September 16. Thanks!

    Let me add one more suggestion to SGA nominators:

    It's better for the awards scheme if we have a diverse ballot. In months past (and last month, especially) we've had 10 nominations for the same fan-favorite, then only one or two for all the others. In some cases we've even failed to reach a total of three different nominations, and I've had to nominate a third just to fill out the final ballot.

    If several people have nominated your favorites already, you might conclude that those will make the ballot -- and then think about what else you think should be on there. Remember, you're not voting for your favorites here: you're helping us get the best three to five moments, villains, tech, guest stars, etc. on the ballot.

    So if a bunch of other people have already nominated Teal'c's appearance in "Midway," for example, think about another fun SG-1 guest star crossover to add to the ballot.

    Thanks!

              BAMSR stands for Be All My Sins Remember'd, obviously, just got sick of typing it out.

              Best Episode: The Last Man
              Best Sheppard Moment: Talking Henry Wallace into a dark end (Miller's Crossing)
              Best McKay Moment: Creating F.R.A.N. and (belatedly) pondering the morals of his actions (BAMSR)
              Best Teyla Moment: Fighting savages and saving Keller on New Athos (Missing)
              Best Ronon Moment: Fighting his Satedan friends (Reunion)
              Best Carter Moment: Smacking down Colonel Ellis verbally (BAMSR)
              Best Team Moment: Teaming with the Wraith and Travellers to destroy the Asurans (BAMSR)

              Best Guest Star: Jill Wagner as Larrin (Travellers), Michelle Morgan as F.R.A.N. (BAMSR), Jodelle Ferland as Harmony (Harmony)

              Let me just say that this season was definitely my favourite of Atlantis, and rivals the best seasons of SG-1, there are very few weak episodes, major character and plot developments throughout, and some of the coolest CG shots I've ever seen. The sheer variety in most categories will make the voting particularly interesting.
