I kept hearing about Stargate Atlantis all over the place, but seeing as in New Zealand we are only about halfway through season 6 or 7 of the normal Stargate I knew I wasn't going to be seeing Atlantis anytime soon. So I got my hands on the first few episodes of Atlantis by, lets just say not very legal mean, and watched them last night. I have to admit that I like these. They are great. As much as I like the Origional Stargate, Atlantis is a nice change of scenery. And the Wraiths make the Goa'uld look like pansies :P

Oh and I like the design of the new Stargates.

What are your thoughts on the new show?
 
I love it. It's definitely a good change of pace from SG-1, although no one can really top the wise-cracks of Jack O'Neill. The Wraith are a very cool new villian and I am anxious to see the rest of season 1 of Atlantis.
 
Definately. This new guy is good. But not quite Jack O'Neill. I always thought Richard Dean Anderson was perfect for that part lol. I'll be watching Ep 4 tonight, and Hopefully get Ep 5 by the time I finish work tomorrow. I can only find 10 episodes, is that all there is at the moment?
 
Yep, it ends to be continued, and the first season will only have 20 episodes I think.
 
minor spoilers. I guess. Is this thread assumed to have spoilers?

I can't wait until this series gets more established. It's had a great start! I've liked almost all of the season 1 episodes, but I'd like to see how Joe Flanigan's character of Sheppard is developed. As the first season, it seems like he's not really into his own character yet. Seems like he's trying to continue on the lines of O'Neill's character. It took a while for Michael Shanks and RDA to get their own personality after taking over characters from other actors, so I imagine it'll be a *little* while before all the Atlantis characters are their full potential.

I was really impressed with the work of Flanigan (Sheppard) in the summer finale when the Genii come to the base. Very well acted. He does a lot better on the serious emotional stuff than he does with comedy. ...Except his work with the wraith "Steve." That was classic.

I love all the characters in Atlantis, Beckett, McKay, and Zelenka (sp?) especially. And I really liked "Steve." I wish they didn't get rid of him so early on. He tried so hard to be an evil guy. Oh well. So long, Steve.

Go to Gateworld for all news about Alantis (and SG-1)!
 
I also thought that Sheppard seemed to be a bit like O'Neill. As with SG-1, getting used to each character, and figuring them all out really took a couple of seasons. Having watched ALL of SG-1 and Atlantis within the last few months, I really got into it, and season to season was able to see the characters grow into their roles and really watch them change a lot. I have a lot of respect for the mythology that they've built around the stories.

What I want to know is when the start of the second half of the season is.
 
So am I. I'll have all 10 episodes of Atlantis by Wednesday next week at the latest.

At the moment I'm saving and Buying the SG1 Boxed sets when I have money. Only problem is we are only up to Season 4 in the Boxed sets here. Though they are releasing one every 2 months. So shouldn't be too long till I get them.
 
Well, through no big surprise, Atlantis's second season is confirmed. What I am posting here is a more incredible matter:

SG-1 SEASON 9 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!! WOOHOOO!

I must say I actually cheered aloud when I read the announcement the other day. This means that SG-1 ties as the longest running sci-fi series in television history (X-Files also had nine seasons). I'm glad that something as worthy as Stargate can do what X-Files can do.

Nine years. Man, I'm excited.

Stargate rules.
 
To be totally honest, I had no doubt in my mind that it would make it to at least season 9. I hope they can do a 10th season, and perhaps that'll be a great place to end SG-1, although the end will be sad. Even though I watched 7 and 1/2 seasons all since July, it feels like those characters became a part of my life.
 
Atlantis Season 2 ***Spoilers***

Atlantis Season 2 will feature crossovers with SG-1. It's going to find the power needed to travel back and forth between Pegasus and Earth. :)
 
Now thats just awesome. Can't wait. Even though I'm only up to Ep 8 of Atlantis lol. Oh and I don't think there is any hope of seeing Atlantis over here on TV anytime soon. I managed to get a look at the up coming programme list for 2005 for the channel that usually get all the Stargate stuff. No sign of it there. Might have to buy the DVD's off amazon.

SG-1 should never end. but if it does it will be sad. kuz they'll have to kill at least one person off in order to end it.
Click to expand...
Why would they have to kill of anyone to end it? They got rid of Jonas as a regular by putting him on another planet. They got rid of Hammond as a regular by promoting him. They could easily end the series by just resolving a number of the plot arcs and saying THE END or something cheesy. I dunno. I'm just rambling.
 
aye. but there would have to be some reason for the rest of them to leave. that or they die. or they just cancel the series all together.
 
That's true. I wonder how it will end. Or if they'll decide to end it with a movie of some sort.
 
I think they will end it with a 2 Hr special. It would seem the best way to do it.

I'm up to Ep 10 of Atlantis. I should have that in the next day or so. So far I am really enjoying the series. Oh and I agree about 'Steve'. that made me laugh.

"You know. We have been doing this for weeks and I still don't know your name. You seem like a steve to me"
"I am your Death"
"No, I like Steve Better"

hehehe.
 
To end such a series would be my undoing. I mean..I did say that when x-files ended..and yeah..I ended up alive and well..but still...I was with sg-1 since the begining! I was also with Atlantis..but considering it just started that's not impressive. LOL I love Sheppard's character...they do try and make him out to be a lot like O'Neil so I'm glad they sent to another galaxy...cuz next to O'Neil he does try his best to outwit him but MaGyver always has the upper hand. I feel like they just cloned Sg-1 when making Atlantis but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying it. The Wraith are an amazing race to fight...much more entertaining to watch then the g'ould and their glowy eyes. Now we get fish faces and an aquatic theme that is very cool. I also love Atlantis..what better setting is an ancient city filled with tons of mysteries and powers? They could do anything in a setting like that.

In order for them to end Sg-1 they need to tie in Atlantis..b/c those two have to exist together. I dunno...i think i babbled too much so I will stop talking now.
 
I just watched Episode 14 of Atlantis, and wow! What an amazing turn of events. My friend Beth (who got me into StarGate) gave me some information about the future of Atlantis, which sounds really cool! I'm very excited to see where this series goes.
