I want your opinions.

I just read that in future seasons of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, the intros will be cut (with different, presumably shorter theme tunes) to only ten seconds in length, apparently so Sci-Fi can sell more advertising time. Personally I think that's a bit cheap because I always thought the intros were the best of any sci-fi series.

I don't like Atlantis. It didn't make any sense. I just hope the new series of SG1 doesn't go downhill because apparently Richard Dean Anderson is leaving... when are O'Neil and Sam going to get married!!!!?

I never watched SG-1 when it began so now, when I watch it today I don't quite get all the importance of the goa'uld (or however its spelt). I started watching from Season 6 of SG-1 onwards so I got most of the Ancient / Lost City stuff. From then on, I was able to watch Atlantis and see the whole thing unravel (well so far in any case).

With SG-1 I either really enjoy the episodes or just get bored by them. With Atlantis, I haven't found an episode where I've thought 'Why am I watching this' (actually on second thought, I really didn't like that episode where they find that 'shadow / fog' creature/thing in Atlantis (possibly the second or third episode).

With a few of the SG-1 episodes I haven't quite understood the importance of episodes in which there's no action...those episodes that kind of rely on plot threads established on previous episodes.

Did that make sense? Well that's why I like Atlantis I think - simply because I wasn't *there* when SG-1 started.

I think Stargate SG-1 will go down hill also after Richard Dean Anderson leaves. He is what makes the show interesting, I think.

I have to disagree just a little bit with you Allen. I think SG-1 might do well cause Ben Browder is going to be on there. He is so hilariously funny and as funny as Richard Dean Anderson.

I can not get into Altantis. I find it quite boring, in my opinion.

Other than Farscape I've never seen "the new guy" in anything.

I never really liked Farscape so I never watched it - as such, can't really vouch for his acting.

Leo Wyatt · **Tue Jul 12, 2005 5:01 am**

If you ever watch the scifi channel, sometimes they run reruns of farscape so if you see it just watch one episode. Ben Browder is so funny.

I'm really not sure how it's going to be. I love both shows, but with RDA leaving SG-1 and those new guys coming in on Atlantis, meh.

Tsss, am missing everything this friday,

They better re-air them,

For those that are interested, Stargate Atlantis starts airing on UK terrestrial TV tomorrow! On Channel 5! I only saw this by chance in the TV guide and haven't seen any promos or anything.

purple_kathryn · **Thu Jul 14, 2005 9:39 am**

Delta Flyer - Ive seen promos for it but I dont know how to describe it without spoiling it for terrestrial uk viewers, basically it involves a clip of atlantis from the air and a voice clip from Weir's leaving tape.

I am so so happy

most of the sci fi shows Ive watched for the past few years have ended so Im gonna cling to the one remaining

I love stargate!

The Delta Flyer · **Thu Jul 14, 2005 2:27 pm**

Yeah - I only really watch Channel 5 for the movies and have hardly watched it at all recently - guess that's why I ain't seen any trailers!

I normally go out about 9ish so I can watch Atlantis while I get ready! Hooray!

"Hate" is a bit of a harsh word for something u have only seen once and one episode

Leo Wyatt · **Fri Jul 15, 2005 10:07 am**

Well I seen five episodes and hate Altantis. I love SG-1 not Altantis.

madlilnerd · **Fri Jul 15, 2005 10:57 am**

Atlantis is dire. It's like all the bad episodes of ENT put in a blender and fried as new bad episodes of a different show.

That made more sense in my head.

tomparis · **Fri Jul 15, 2005 2:12 pm**

IntrepidIsMe · **Fri Jul 15, 2005 3:52 pm**

Well, Atlantis is only in it's first season. Nearly every first season of every show isn't all that great. Even SG-1 was pretty tacky/boring it's first season.

tomparis · **Fri Jul 15, 2005 4:25 pm**

Yeah, you do have a point.

AAAAAAAGH! I HATE CLIFFHANGERS!

Good episode though on SG-1.

I was also pleasently surprised with Atlantis. I really liked it.

I won't post any spoilers though.

About Atlantis:
I'm glad they're getting rid of that Ford guy, he was totally useless. He looked half Stepford Wife, though. Creepy. I hope this season will be better, but the Wraith are getting old/boring.

About SG-1:
I like that new guy, hes pretty good. The premier was kinda blah, though. Getting trapped with the ceiling coming down.... who didn't see that coming?

can anybody tell me when the new seasons will be aired here in the UK.

not repeats of the first season of atlantis which is good I liked it for the change from Stargate its self.

as for the new stargate well, erm I need to catch up from season 7 lol but yer I like all of the stuff of it so far but it is a bit tedious now.

I just hope its not to long before it comes on ordinary TV in the UK.
