Hmm… Am I the only on ehtat has a probelm with the hacks that are running these programs? The writing quality and storyline of SG1 has been diminishing for the few years. The ‘FINALE’ was a complete cop-out. The writers should all be fired if they havent been already; along with any/all producers. When Oneil left (for legitimate reasons), the show started on a gradual downward spiral. The Orai were a welcomed new challenge, however the stroyline became very choppy. IE, they let the cast members start writing ridiculous episodes. Uh… once you win the battle and wrap up the story, then maybe you can start letting people horse around. the producers should be embarrassed by some of the episodes.
Getting back to the main issue… The way they ended SG1 was pitifful. Now we have to buy a 97min movie becuase they couldnt wrap up the show in a few episodes? Uh, the final was ridiculous!!!!
Atlantis… The first 3 seasons were excellent. However, the way the replicatros jsut ‘appeared’ again shows the writer’s incompetence. the replicators were created by a robot on sg1. Hmmm… did they just show up in Pegasus to dispatch Weir? Speaking of which… why is Weir gone? Was she the best choice? Well, no… Oneil would have been better, but she did have a strong role in the show. Now Carter is the Commander? Uh, are you kidding me? It sounds like SG1 ended and she had time left on her contract so they said “Hey, u can be the commander, YAAAY!’. She looks sloppy on the show anyway. CUT YOUR HAIR!!!!! What kind of military person would look like they just roleld out of bed and decided to be a commander? She should NOT be in charge. At the very most, she should be the TECH expert and work with McKay on occassion. If the show ends (SG1), so should her contract. The writers really need to buckle down and do the right thing. As SCIFI followers, they really need to be true to the story line that they initiate. I dont rememeber Start Trek having a ‘Casual Friday’, which is exactly what has happened to the SG1 franchise.
Oh… just wondering… has the image quality changed on Atlantis this season? Did they lose their budget? Are they using walmart camcorders now? Seriously… WTF?
I’ve found my love of all things Stargate diminish hugely in the past few years. I’ve always thought of myself as a fan who welcomes changes. So when we saw the arrival of Jonas in place of Daniel back in SG-1 season 6, i welcomed that change and it was a good change.
So i was open to the changes on Atlantis, however i don’t think it’s worked out as well. I love Jewel Staite, i think she’s a fantastic actress. And she’s doing well in a thankless role. Well not thankless, but it’s not very suited to her. Personal opinion.
The same with Amanda. Sam was a fantastic character on SG-1 but she feels like she’s floundering on Atlantis and there are no real relationships between her and other characters on the show, other than Rodney and a good rapport with Jewel’s Dr. Keller.
