[QUOTE]Originally posted by StationMaster: [QB] Been a while... and then mostly ranting about Dr Who and Torchwood... but perhaps its time I turned to one of my more ... traditional... sci fi's. I have been a long term fan of the whole Stargate series and Atlantis was eagerly anticipated for me. I think I would sum Atlantis up as the opportunity missed and the last show pretty much confirmed that. Not going about grabbing the wrong end of the stick as I actually loved the series, but the last one felt rushed, squeezed and compared to some of the earlier plots, quite dull really. There were far too many nods in it, although the nod to Don S Davis was sadly and greatly appreciated. The Keler nod was utterly pointless as if only to say, "shes in the credits, may as well put her in". Compared to previous Stargate SG1 and Atlantis episodes, the show seemed to forget the wonderful attention to real world details. Lets send up a 10 F302's againsts dozens of darts... what? Why did they not send up more conventional jets to back the 302's up? And I may have this wrong... but I thought that US military officers were not allowed to wear personal jewelery on duty? And I may be wrong on this, but I swear Carter was wearing ear rings during one of the scenes... As previously mentioned, this could have been fleshed out in to a hour and a half spectacular. You could have enjoyed the tension. Enjoyed some intellegent dialogue. A true send off to the series. But because it was rushed through, you were left a little numb and wanting more as it finished. For me, it was a sad ending to what could have been an amazing series. But as I started, Atlantis was the great lost opportunity of sci fi. But there were some fantastic gems along the way... And now folks... the great Sci Fi drought begins... :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
