Atlantis Premiere

[switch842]

First off, I'm listening to Hewlett's interview from Gateworld. And he vists the forums. Now I'm worried about anything I may have said.... (and his Australian accent is sexy).

Anyway, moving on to the point of this post: the season premiere of Atlantis. I'm sort of keeping this cautiously optimistic attitude about it. Cos I don't want to not like it. I love the Stargate world and I really don't want to be disappointed. But as I think back over season 4, there's a part of me that doesn't want to remain too hopeful. And I think I've figured out what it was about season 4 that bugged. There were a lot of episodes where nothing happened. But I didn't realize it at the time because I was so caught up with the acting. Which is great. Cos I have nothing but respect for all those guys: David, Joe, Jason, etc. But I would be caught up in the episodes and be mostly loving it. Then I would come here to review or whatever and I would realize, wait a minute. Nothing happened. That was what disappointed me so much about a lot of season 4. Trio is the perfect example of that. You have three characters stuck in a box, how the hell are they gonna get out. Well, they do. But nothing happened. No one was any different from when they went in. *sigh*

Anyway, I want to like season 5. I really, really do. So I hope I do.

I didn't even know that was tonight. O_o I probably won't get to watch it until Sunday night.

Wow, I think you're very optimistic and a very good fan. I haven't loved anything about SGA since Season 2 (the characterization of Caldwell in the second half) and it depresses me to know that it's up to SEASON FIVE now. I totally lost all respect for the show during Season 3, and I look back on the golden age of Season 1 as a utopia never to be experienced again.

I hope it meets your expectations. :)

I enjoyed the episode. I have some plot nitpicks which I won't mention here. There was also some fancy/atypical CGI in the opening that I want to investigate.

Oh, I'm told Hewlett visits the forum often. I'm going to start paying more attention to the lurkers.
