#stargateatlantis

Heh, I knew that wasn’t really General Hammond. #StargateAtlantis #StargateSG1

So #StargateAtlantis is slowly improving as S1 progresses. Seems way Wraith heavy, which is what people have told me. On E8 now and McKay’s still a giant jerk. Meanwhile S8 of #StargateSG1 has been really solid. Still getting used to “General” McNeill and Teal’c with hair but the stories have been solid.

S1 E4 of #StargateAtlantis ‘Thirty Eight Minutes’ is the first ep of the series I’ve really enjoyed. A team’s shuttle gets caught half way through the Stargate event horizon & they have 38 min to solve the problem before the ship is cut in half.

- Love ep centered around the Stargate itself like the #StargateSG1 black hole ep. Super geeky fun.
- Geeked out for the Apollo 13esque “work the problem” scene where they take inventory
- REALLY hope McKay gets less annoying/Debbie Downer 😝

7.8/10

Three episodes in and #StargateAtlantis feels very… flat. The premise is interesting but the characters, at least at this early stage aren’t exactly likeable. McKay certainly is no Carter and the rest of the cast, with the exception of the Scottish doctor all feel like the supporting cast of #StarTrek Enterprise. They’re all just… there.

Will have to see if this is worth watching or not. The jury is still out but it’s def not as fun as #StargateSG1
