Stargate Atlantis
July 19th, 2004
Yesterday, my wife and I finally got around to watching the series premiere of Stargate Atlantis (alt link). We had never seen any episodes of the original Stargate SG1 series, so weren’t quite sure what to expect from Atlantis.
Atlantis, though, was great. We both enjoyed it. The writing was excellent, and at first glance, appeared to be on par with that of Babylon 5. It was obvious that the characters and the plot were well thought-out. It wasn’t just another glitzy special effects show; it has depth, and that’s important. It also made good use of humor — not too outlandish, and never out of character.
We’ll be watching, and I’ve now programmed the MythTV to record SG1 too. I wonder what we’ve been missing.
I really enjoyed the pilot as well. Dr. Beckett is a fantastic character, he
is so charismatic!! A very believable character - like ’scottie’, he carries
the show! I am excited to tune on for more! Lianne
