Fifth Season for Stargate Atlantis

The SciFi Wire reports that Stargate Atlantis will have a fifth season. This is wonderful news and isn't a surprise to me.

Believe it or not, I haven't watched any of the current season. The only shows that I've been watching regulary are Heroes, Journeyman and Bionic Woman. I still have Dexter, Stargate: Atlantis and Pushing Daisies. I have the first episode of Moonlight on my iPod. I have to find Supernatural and Bloodties. Days should be 36 hours and weekends should be 3 days. :)

Is anyone watching Stargate: Atlantis? Is good this season and why?

Captains Don't Get Star Named After Them?

According to SciFi Wire, George Takei shares a name with a star out in the final frontier. I'm sure there's a "good- natured" gay joke out there for this but I don't have one on tap. I found it interesting that Gene Roddenberry has an asteroid named after him. Of course he should get a planet or a solar system. Nichelle Nichols also has an asteriod. Where's Captain Sisko's asteroid? Jean Luc Picard?

Takei 'Delighted' At Asteroid Honor

The Stargates Return

Why is Ba'al alive? Why is he the only Goau'ld left? For comic relief I guess?

Finally the team gets away from Adria the Ori bitch from hell. The team is protected with some auto transporter set up by Merlin. Adria is on their tail though and following them from destination to destination. Daniel Jackson gets all of the knowledge that Merlin has downloaded in his head and of course, the team leaves him behind. They pretend to be really broken up about it.

Do I sound bored with this episode? I'm sorry, I was. The dragon killed it for me. Everyone knows how I feel about dragons. They, for some reason, since Jurassic Park and the LOTR movies, bore the crap out of me. ...and to see one on SG1??? Let's just say that I'm highly irritated.

I'm not fond of the Ori story. It's too.... today. I don't care for the Merlin story because it was bound to bring out dragons. It's kind of an interesting story but something was rushed or left out or something. It's not doing it for me.


Atlantis....
Replicators.... again.....
*sigh*
Although.... Seeing O'Neil made up for it.
I loved the fact that the team got back together, broke all the rules and saved the day. The underwater scene was memorable although they got captured anyway. Doesn't matter because the team saves the day. The ancients are all dead so the team can reclaim Atlantis. Sounds like a win-win.

SG-1 Cancelled? I'm Still In Denial

So it's really being cancelled? Like??? Seriously????

I don't understand....
What does this mean????

-------------------------
I just read the SciFi Wire about Stargate: Continuum and some of it is being filmed in Alaska. Now... since these things are "films". I wonder if someone is going to arrange limited screen viewings. That would help me get out of my denial and welcome these straight to DVD monstrosities with open arms.

According to the article, only Tapping and Shanks will be going. (I bet they are pissed) They are also going to be getting some footage of a big submarine breaking through ice. That's awesome! I thought they did all of that CGI these days. Seeing the real thing is a treat.

Here is the premise of the film:

In Stargate: Continuum, SG-1 attends the execution of Ba'al, the last of the Goa'uld system lords, when Teal'c (Judge) and Vala (Black) inexplicably disappear into thin air. Carter (Tapping), Daniel (Shanks) and Mitchell (Browder) race back to a world where history has been changed: The Stargate program has been erased from the timeline. As they try to convince the authorities of what's happened, a fleet of Goa'uld motherships arrives in orbit, led by Ba'al; his queen, Katesh (Vala); and his first prime, Teal'c. SG-1 must find the Stargate and set things right before the world is enslaved by the Goa'uld.

Haven't we seen this before? Ah well, sounds like big fun either way.

Stargate Atlantis: Carson Beckett

I "flew" up to Canada a couple of days ago and saw the most recent episode of Stargate: Atlantis. If you know what I'm talking about, don't spoil it here but know that I'm upset at this turn of events. We all knew that something was "up" because of the character because of the Saving Carson Beckett campaign. The episode is called Sunday. It's beautifully done and despite the outcome, the episode should win an award.

That's all I'll say.
