ive seen all but two episodes. and im kinda concerned that atlantis will screw up the stargate universe the way voyager screwed up the trek universe.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Possible spoilers for newer fans, so beware.

I'm sorry to say that I don't really look forward to Stargate anymore.  Out of all the sci-fi worldsettings out there, Stargate's is one of the most depressing: the human race at large is scattered across the galaxy, used primarily as nothing more than cattle for the Go'auld.  Earth is presented as being one of the more advanced human worlds, yet they remain largely inferior to the Go'auld; those human sects that have technology more advanced than that of Earth are either extinct, on the way to -being- extinct, or possess some wishy-washy pacifistic philosophy that prevents them from supporting the military effort against the Go'auld.

The non-human races aren't much help either.  The Ascended and the Nox are loathe to intervene in human affairs.  The Tollan are essentially dead, and the Asgard are doomed to lose their long-standing war against the unstoppable Replicators.  The Tok'ra are in a similar situation, gradually losing more members of their group, and the majority of the Jaffa are too steeply indoctrinated in Go'auld dogma to make a stand for themselves.

SG-1 is written in such a fashion as to never resolve these issues, but instead, to drag them out as long as possible.  I've seen spoilers for the upcoming season, and in my opinion, it's just more of the same pseudo-political moral high-ground stuff that's been thrown at us for the last several seasons.  For that reason, there can never be any closure, and SG-1 will either be canceled before a finale is penned, or the finale itself will be a weak episode with a "Scorched Earth" ending, something along the lines of all Earth's Stargates being destroyed, or the Sol system being sealed off from the rest of the galaxy.

As for Atlantis, the very concept makes me cringe.
We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.

I have that worry...but they seem to have some great ideas for Atlantis so we'll see what comes of it.

Hrmm... the old one I think looked the part of the whole Mrs. diplomat thing a little better.

Yeah... chia Teal'c...

Atlantis will either be great, or it'll be crap. If done right, it could be very entertaining and would continue to play on mythology and such. (the Wraiths being vampires/demons, etc. as the Gou'uld were playing on the deities thing)

However, Atlantis could easily turn into Trek crap... Which some later episodes of StarGate I feel are sort of that way... Anubis was soo... contrived... at least Baal has some style... :p

another thing that wories me is the fact that all of the scifi channel's original series and movies have such poor acting and weak plots 90% are rips on blockbuster scifi movies. i also dont like the way the scifi chennel buys up the rights entire series plays them once or twice and then they are never to be seen again. i wich theyd get rid of some of those b movies and play all the series thay have exclusive rights to.

The strangest thing I notice is that Scifi seems to report their viewers continually rising for SG-1 - even when so many people around here disagree.

You should hook up an ultra-high resolution camera to your computer and jack your TV's audio-out into your computer, bind the audio and video together and stream it to me live via NetMeeting.
