Singh400 · 27-09-2007, 12:19 PM

Doh! Beat me to it, was gonna make a thread today.

Yeah I'm very excited. Can't wait to see how they get out of that situation - you know floating in space, with no GPS

and no power.

At what again?

Like I said, leave the modding to the mods. FYI Atlantis airs tonight. So get off your high horse.

Been working so not had time to watch any telly (well did watch PB) so with so many US shows starting this week I have a ridiculous amount of content to catch up on.

Atlantis despite being on SKY1HD next month I'm going to download then rewatch in HD, a good indicator of what I really think is important since Eureka/440 I didn't download

It's going to be a good fourth season, no doubts what so ever.

Yeah read loads of stuff on S04 and they all used the wording "much darker"

Hi Indiana -

Maybe the lack of sound was the cause or maybe not? I didnt watch them because of that reason. Was the story line poor?

Na I didnt mind not having sound effects or music, was actually interesting to see how it is for the actors on set.

They were good enough episodes but I was hoping for something like the last episode of Season 3 and they just felt weaker.

Yeah I've got them aswell, but I didn't bother watching them as they didn't have all the special sound effects.

Ah ok. Cheers

Singh400 · 29-09-2007, 10:49 PM

Only just got round to watching this, was in Birmingham Town Centre all day

Pretty good season premiere. You would think with all that ancient technology that they would have some new cool spacesuits. But no, they still got the bulky ones. I didn't agree with bring Weir back, think Rodney made a HUGE mistake there. Love the idea of planning a raid on the Replicator home world

Starburst · 30-09-2007, 12:23 AM

Expecting the same amount of action as the season finale was perhaps a pipe dream and the episode was slower as it dealt with the fallout of the events from the replicator attack.

That said it was still good offering is more of the doc and bringing Carter into the picture. Love the idea that they will be flying less than 2000 light years from the replicator homeworld but you would have thought long range sensors from that world would have already found them.

McKay and his short bursts of joy were great, "awww, come on" and for a second I thought we were going to lose Radek

You've got to be bad to score zero at Asteroids.

I'm not sure how the whole Carter and Rodney thing is going to work, we can't have 2 clever people on the show. I'm hoping that Carter will fall back to a management type role such as Weir, and I hope Weir dies. Because that character is going no where.

And yeah, I thought Zelenka was a goner to.

LMAO.... You cruel man. Actually the show would be no different with her in or out of it so I think you have a point.

I enjoyed the first episode of this season. One thing that always annoys me is the lack of resources the Atlantis team has. You'd think that after 4 seasons they would of had a load of ZMPs. This always gets on my nerves as you want to see Atlantis at its best.

Yeah but then everything would be too easy. Having a load of ZPMs (correct spelling

) would mean that Atlantis would pwn everything and anything thrown at it.

Although, you would have thought that the Ancients would have written a small how-to guide on how to make some ZPMs.

Maybe if Rodney used that machine again (the one in 'Tao of Rodney') he could figure out a way to make some.

ZPM's.

Spoiler: Looks like they are going hunting for more ZPMs, lets hope they get some this time.

Bah, don't use the spoiler tag. It clearly says Spoilers in the title thread.

Its funny how Atlantis is within a stones throw of the Replicator home world and they haven't picked them up yet (via long range sensors). It's gonna be even more funny if the ZPM Raid is successful.

Just wondering, wouldn't it be possible for Rodney to adapt the EMP generator so that it takes out a whole world?

Yes if he had enough ZPM's and as you say so many story lines dependent upon the limitations of the Atlantis expedition

Singh400 · 06-10-2007, 3:38 PM

AWESOME episode. Couple of points; you just know that Weir is gonna come back to bite them in the ass. As is the Wraith attack code, lets just hope they defined "Wraith" very acurately. What happens when the Reps kill all the Wraith? - Will they start to define humans as Wraith?

Did anyone catch the in-house joke? A while ago Amanda Tapping was interviewed. And she complained how she wasn't a "full-bird Colonel ".

Starburst · 06-10-2007, 5:05 PM

Yeah great fun and while it wasn't "Where Eagles Dare" (currently on CH5) it was a decent high tech raid on an enemy facility

No doubt we will see Weir again and what a shame her best contribution (since the SG1 and Atlantis first season) was her bow out, she had to go but touch wood it'll be a Locutus type storyline.
Damn shame they didn't hit the storage facility or a power room that had more than 1 ZPM.

I must have missed the interview, stayed away from anything that could spoil the new season

Again this goes back to: too many ZPMs = Atlantis will pwn everything.

It was actually an interview regarding her new show (Sanctuary). They just asked about SG1 and how it felt ending etc etc. And then she complained about not being a full-bird Colonel.

They'll be kicking themselves when Weir returns and the big bad for this season turns up

I haven't seen S4 yet as I am just on S2 atm for the first time. However, I wouldn't mind a quick yes or no to a question.

I really would like to know if Jackson comes to Atlantis. I have seen up to the end of Season 9 and he still has seen Atlantis despite his many attempts to get there. I think he would be good on it considering his Ancient knowledge.

IIRC he has only appeared in Season 1. The first two episodes, after that he hasn't made an appearance. Nor is he slated to.

He gets to visit Atlantis in Season 10 of SG-1 in a fantastic cross-over episode.

Its a pretty reasonable guess to assume that the reason the ancients did not active the code was because it was bugged in one way or the other (playing around with the base code hasn't had good results so far).

I assume the nano virus was created by the reps, and so i assume that killing off all the humans/food is part of the strategy. Going to be messy.

Also now they can alter their base code, i assume they can alter the instructions again.
