Surprise Surprise. Or Not
May 24th, 2008 Filed Under opinion
It might not be such a big surprise, as activity here has ground to a halft. But my interest in the Stargate universe has wained a lot of late. Well to be precise, i think it was the beginning of season 10 when my love of all things Stargate: SG-1 quit, and now my love of Atlantis is slowly dying.
I can’t quite pin point why. I don’t think i’m “growing out of” the shows, because i love watching the old episodes. Season 1-6 i absolutely love, of SG-1 and Atlantis has always been a bit patchy for me but i enjoyed the earlier seasons. It seems to have lost its way recently.
But it’s not just the shows. I remember when i first heard about the prospect of a Stargate PC game. I was over the moon. I though it was a fantastic idea. Now the idea’s morphed into an MMORPG i’m not against it, but i’m not with it as I’m not that interested in what else the universe has to offer.
It might also come down to the characters and their development in both shows. In Atlantis they don’t seem to be going anywhere and in SG-1 they went the strangest of ways, I was left feeling betrayed as a fan.
So I’ve come to no real conclusion about what to do with this place. I’m debating on whether i should do an episode a day of SG-1 and then move onto Atlantis, and highlight the episodes here as i relive them. It’s a tempting idea and makes me go back to when i used to enjoy the shows.
But if anyone has any ideas of what they’d like to see here, i’m very open to them! Please, let me know.

I am in absolute agreement with you regarding STargate Atlantis. Where is it going? The stories have become ridiculously boring, and I am starting to lose interest.
Being a huge SG1 Fan since the beginning, I am becoming hugely disappointed in Atlantis, and it does not even surprise me anymore…
Do you think Sg1 will join the Atlantis Expedition?
And Should the Oddysey join too?
Whatever you decide to do, you did a fantastic job making this site and updating it.
Thanks!
I can understand what you mean. As much as I loved Stargate, I struggled to keep up with the last couple of seasons. It seemed to lose its way, became all about the spaceships, and rarely even showed a stargate.
I cared less for the characters, and really rather disliked Landry altogether.
But I often watch those earlier seasons, and my love for the show remains strong through the excellently written fic out there.
I haven’t really followed Atlantis so much, but what I have seen seems to be a following trend in sabotaging a show by TPTB.
