Author Topic: $$$ SGA 5x12 "Whatever It's Called" $$$ Daniel Butler I'm a Singapore where is my boat Member # 1689 posted                       These weird-ass quickie credits are really starting to piss me off. I miss the theme song!! I thought Carson was on Earth? Apparently they sent him back to Atlantis and then he went off into the 'wilds of Pegasus' and we just...didn't hear about it.

They used them for half a season but people got pissy so they went back to the full ones.

Would you prefer the full credits, or a slightly longer episode? -------------------- Dark Knight Adventures & Batman Beyond:Stripped - DeviantArt Gallery ================================ ...what we demand is a total absence of solid facts!

Seriously, it's only an extra minute of shots.

Besides, I checked out the Atlantis page on iTunes, and all the episodes of the season have been about the same length (give or take eight seconds). That extra time is definitely going to advertising. They must be using the Orb of Ultimate Evil again. -------------------- “Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.” — Isaac Asimov Star Trek Minutiae | Memory Alpha Registered: Nov 2000  |  IP: Logged B.J. Space Cadet Member # 858 posted                       Yeah, I've confirmed that elsewhere - they're just using the extra time for more ads. Registered: Jul 2002  |  IP: Logged Reverend Based on a true story... Member # 335 posted                       Yeah, that's more or less what I meant. With the increase in ad time, it's a choice between cutting scenes or the titles. Not much of a choice at all really. I think Galactica had the same issue, IIRC. -------------------- Dark Knight Adventures & Batman Beyond:Stripped - DeviantArt Gallery ================================ ...what we demand is a total absence of solid facts!

In the podcast commentary for the third season finale, Ron Moore explained that they actually did cut out the credits in order to get more scenes in (and they got Sci Fi to give them an extra couple of minutes of time or something like that). I guess it goes to show that a really good show still has a bit of clout. -------------------- “Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.” — Isaac Asimov Star Trek Minutiae | Memory Alpha Registered: Nov 2000  |  IP: Logged Mark Nguyen I'm a daddy now! Member # 469 posted                       Carson WAS shown heading off into the wild yonder. At the top of his previous episode (with the lesbo AR team) he was packing up to head HOME after recovering and coming back to Atlantis, At the end of it, he realized he was of better use in the field, working basically independently with periodic ressupply.

I didn't recall him deciding to work in the field instead; I just remembered him heading home, which is what confused me. My grateful acknowledgment of your correction to my original thought is hereby offered to you. Registered: Jul 2005  |  IP: Logged
