Amph It's a City, Not a Yo-Yo: Stargate Atlantis (Spoilers Allowed)

Somewhat. "The Tower" wasn't very good and "Grace Under Pressure" was too drawn out. I've yet to watch "The Long Goodbye"- I have it on tape.

 

The Tower was one of the few that I enjoyed from this season.

Very "Look at the Princess"-ish. Combined with last week's "Crakers Don't Matter" its a regular Farscape marathon.

 

I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

I don't know though. There was a theological shift there. Maybe we'll be seeing Geni on the other side next season. They are one of the best parts of the series. The two parter last season was great.

 

Coup was good, the ending rocked
Inferno was fun
The season finale makes me wish it was next season already

 

I agree, I like the Genii bits the best, and I'm going to miss Colm, he's a good actor and I think it gave Atlantis some exposure to have a high profile SF actor as a part-timer on the show.

I'm hoping the new Genii leader will continue to be a thread and eliminate Weir.

 

The episode Michael is on tomorrow night. That one actually looked really cool.

 

Hey, most of Atlantis has been awesome recently. The only ones below par have been "Grace Under Pressure" and the real stinker, "The Tower".

 

I'm surprised no one is discussing "Michael". It's without a doubt my favorite of the season and perhaps of the whole series.

 

How was that episode?

 

As I said it was my favorite episode of this season yet and perhaps the whole show.

 

But would you say that it was your favorite of the season, or even the whole show?

It was good enough. I wouldn't say that it was one of my favorites in any regard but it was darn good. It was the culmination of what the rest of the season had been working to. Its not the end of it either IIRC.

 

I really liked the moral/ethical dilemma of this episode. Is it right to play God with the Wraith in order to protect the galaxy? The answer appears to be "no".

Connor Trinneer was great as "Michael". It was great to see him in a sci-fi series again.

 

Spoilers for Season Three












Trineer will be back in the Season Preimere. Supposedly he wasn't availabel for the infale so his character is played by Brent Stait(Andromeda alumni).

 

Did I miss the Season ender? Or was it the one with the Wraith heading to earth?

 

One of my favorite shows on Television and a guilty pleasure for me. Love the whole stargate meets Atlantis concept.

 

While it will feature Micheal the season finale is called Allies and airs 3.10.06.

 

Upping for said season finale.

Good stuff. You knew it was going to bite them in the ass one way or another. How does that saying go? Lay with the dogs and you wake up with fleas.

Well make deals with the Wraith and you end up getting double crossed putting all of Earth at risk.

 

Fantastic cliffy, just as good as BSG.

 

I guess my problem with the finale was there was no real sense of suspense. There was never any question the wraith were going to screw them over it was just how and when.

Some of the battle at the end was pretty intense and I was worried for McKay for a bit but the whole we're going to Earth thing didn't really resonate with me.

 

When you put it that way it doesn't sound near as silly.

Don't know what it is. Maybe its just my overall preference for SG-1 over Atlantis. When the Ori head this way I'm thinking were all screwed. With the wraith on the way I just think "eh they won't make it half way".
