Dark0ne Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm very apprehensive about this; I loved SG-1 and personally found Atlantis to be a terrible insult to a brilliant, long running franchise. It was bad enough they brought in half the crew of Farscape in seasons 9 and 10. They should have really just let SG-1 end when McGuiver left to spend more time with his family. Seasons 9 and 10 were OK, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't really SG-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolithic0117 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hmmm... good news. Hopefully it will not be a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hmmm... good news. Hopefully it will not be a dud.Dunno, the description sounds a bit too much like Battlestar Galctica for my tastes. Really, the place where they started screwing up the series was once they started having all these ships and ancient technology. The fact that seasons 9 and 10 kinda left lots of plotlines wide open didn't help. You can blame it on the new cast all you want, but it was really the writing that was lacking. And instead of going back to their roots, they seem determined to keep screwing things up even more. Wasn't the whole point of the Atlantis series to have an international team of researchers, cut off from earth, in a different galaxy, supported by ancient technology, fighting off a new threat. I guess that just wasn't far enough, now they have to go to the other side of the universe (don't think the universe has corners, or atleast not as far as the light horizon has managed to go). So really, it's like Atlantis, but now in a smaller place (even though they used like what, 5% of that city) and are stuck even further away from home. I shudder to think about what sort of enemy threat will be used, even there they've already covered most the possible bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpen61 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Could possibly go either way to greatness or the pits. Yet it also could crawl along in the middle until it quietly dies out. I hope that the series is made great despite that in many ways it sounds like a repeat of Star Trek Voyager. Hoping for the best but fearing the worst!

Hoping for the best but fearing the worst! thats the first thing what I thoguht :thumbsup: I get the feeling its going toi be a dud but will give alook and see what its like Sg1 was good favorite seaons was 1,2 and 9,10(mainly as to some degree it went back to its roots on trying to find techolgy but they cant go back from season 7 and 8 when it introduced the ships) but also gave the more win, lose situation Atlantis was ok wasent keen on it to much(I loved half the chacters and disliked the othe rhalf of chacters)But it jsut slowly got boring after season 1 as the wraith dident ahve much added to them but stargate really should of sjut ended by now and more the odd short film around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Star Trek Voyager was also the 1st thing that came to my mind. I seriously doubt it will become some kind of cult hit but I do like the idea of that particular universe (SG1 Series) getting explored more. Hmmm...made me think about Stargate Worlds game...just checked, still not released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieUK Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yay! More Stargate! I just flipping hope no more "I am your God" plots cos thats been done.
