"It's people! It's people!"

The Wraith... eat... PEOPLE.

That was so cool. "Stargate Atlantis" totally rocked. I liked the characters, I liked the new tech. Special effects were awesome. Sets are great.

And the Wraith. I was worried, but they are definitely no Goa'uld rip-off. I'm really willing and able to learn more about these guys.

What did everyone else think?

Arik · 07-17-2004, 02:10 PM

Yeah, I loved it.

Stag · 07-17-2004, 03:15 PM

Loved it...Liked the new stargate with the lights spinning around the perimeter.
I loved the Wraith (now i know what happened to that singer Pink..LOL)

I thought the story was a bit week, if it turns into VOY searching for power sources every week, I am going to get turned off pretty quick. And maybe it is a nit, but after 8 years they now find out they can lock in 8 chevrons. Where all of a sudden did this capacity come from?

I loved the stargate floating in space, way cool.

It came from the second season episode when Jack first got the knowledge of the ancients downloaded into his brain. He used an 8-chevron address to get to the Asguard's planet. However, he first had to design a power source to power the gate to be able to make the lock.

I was wondering about that, too... I think it's high time I started getting SG-1 on DVD. I'll earmark it on my list, right after "Futurama Vol. 4" and "Sliders" in August, "Alias S3" and "Angel S4" in September... Oy.

The episode Arik's refering to is called "The Fifth Race", and it's one of the best SG-1 episodes you can get, and it was really the first time we got to see "serious" Jack, which is a rare occurance. Another one is "Ascension" (I think) which is the one where Daniel gets killed and ascends. I think it's great to see these little peaks at him, because Jack really is more intelligent than he lets on, and isn't just a witty action hero.

Atlantis Kicked ass.

Brikar · 07-18-2004, 06:15 PM

Yeah, it did... Though, as it ended, I was like, "I wonder how long it'll be till the 'creature in the city' episode was done..." Looks like I don't have to wait long. Also... I'm getting kinda tired of the "alien influence jumps from person to person" episode.

Cymro · 07-19-2004, 12:40 AM

Well, I was really not expecting them to be based in the other galaxy, I thought they'd be on Earth and the Wraith just be their foil most of the time. The city itself was...amazing, but I didn't quite get what was going on at the start with that "Millions of Years Ago" thing, prolly cause I was watching a low quality video and couldn't make it out that well, can't wait till it comes on TV.

I also thought the whole show felt more "grand" than SG-1, like it was on a much bigger scale.

Brikar · 07-19-2004, 12:45 AM

The prologue set millions of years ago was the city when it was still on Earth, lifting off and flying into space.
