What atlantis needs

don ramo · 17-08-2008 3:34pm #1

I dunno if anyone would agree but what would people think of the crew being kicked out of atlantis (new enemy overwhelmes them), and setting up a base in pegasus, maybe being cut off from earth for half a season, and finding new allies and new enemies,

the recent enimies from the deadalus veriation maybe

,

the show need a drastic shake up, i love the show and will continue to watch, but would be nice to take them out atlantis for an extended period of time.

what do ye think

Nah, it breaks away from the whole premise of the show then, and it becomes too much of a story arc that has to have something happen with it every week.

It's the individual episodes which has made Stargate what it is, so it's good that they're going that way.

DingChavez · 17-08-2008 9:43pm

But could they top Deep Space 9 in taking it back?

I like your idea. But at the same time I'd like to see more of the city and its technologies explored.

Personally a new enemy would wreck my head... I find the whole concept of finding a whole race of undefeatable enemies, and then defeating them, and doing that again and again quite... hard to believe and slightly boring. The exploration and character development is more important to me. I think I am more in favour of a Star Trek TNG exploration of the worlds kinda gal, than a destroy all fake-Gods and enemies in every episode. Though dont get me wrong, classic Ori stuff in Stargate is classic and the Wraith are an amazing enemy, just finding a new enemy for each series is not good enough.

true there are to many enemies, maybe keep the wraith around, replicators are gone (please god, theyve been gone forever 3 times by my count but always come back), geni are gone, travelers arent really an enemy,

so wraith and a new enemy, i thought the last time they left atlantis when the ancients came back the story line was good, but it was to short lived, they had control back in the next episode, or even destroy the city, and later in the series find another atlantis, we know there were a few of them made,

just an idea, would mix it up a bit

User45701 · 18-08-2008 1:48pm

i dont see why they cant introduce a enemy and then sign a peace treaty?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

that was only done with the system lords and sokar, anubis both ignored it.

If earth signed a treaty with a new race then they would have a border and assumbley some sort of "netrul zone"

Suaimhneach · 18-08-2008 6:43pm

More wraith and travellers... long term thats where I see this going. Hopefully.

Mantel · 19-08-2008 5:54pm

With the last episode I think we'll be seeing more advanced peoples poping out of the woodwork occasionly, considering the coment by Weir about there being more advanced civilisations than one would thinking considering the Wraith.

Hopefully some of them will be intresting.

What Atlantis needs is not to be cancelled

Sherifu · 21-08-2008 2:23pm

They needed some decent enemies, they never got them.

senordingdong · 21-08-2008 6:48pm

After Rising part 1 I honestly thought they would have to abandon Atlantis, and spend the season scouring the galaxy for a ZPM.
Certainly would have extended things by a year or so.

Thats more of Battlestar-Galactica story-line

Like when they were trapped on New Caprica...

Overheal · 21-08-2008 9:58pm

more season!

What atlantis needed was not to keep dropping the characters and addink new ones all the time. SG-1 went 5 years without changing it's regulars, and was back to square one in S 7. Atlantis can't even manage that!

I dont know about the deadulus variation bit

but atlantis being invaded i think is being revisited this season at some stage according to wikipedia...

Ayrtonf7 · 04-09-2008 9:52pm

to be honest it just needs another Jack O Neil...As does every Stargater Programme!! =P

Sherifu · 05-09-2008 8:20am

Word to that. It wouldn't be the same without Don though.

Overheal · 09-09-2008 1:05am

It would be cool if reality was more like television, and they could just use Jack's Clone. He'd have graduated High School by now.

What Stargate Atlantis needs is nothing short of a defibrilator.

Failing that, kill Dr. Keller .. stone dead.

Gareth-W-A · 09-09-2008 8:35pm

WHAT???!?
Kill Jewel??
Why?
the only real reason i can possibly think of is if Carson Beckett replaced her(becuase he kicks ass)

he's practically back now anyway, fingers crossed i.e. the seed, whispers(awesome episode!)

But you dont need to kill Keller, she provides the much-needed hotness in the infirmary.

Yes. She looks cool .. until she talks, or acts or ... pretty much anything else that doesn't require her to just stand still.

We'll agree on Beckett though. He rocks.

Gareth-W-A · 09-09-2008 9:03pm

Yes he does!

Now, now, lets not say somethin we might regret!

Kill Kaylee! she's the hottest thing on the show. do we not remember her from firefly? who did'nt want to get down and dirty with tha':D

Really though, it's nice to give Meridith someone to have. it's not as if there are scores of women lining up to be with him!

I don't regret that comment at all!

It was a third attempt at posting it, as the initial attempts were not PG rated!

I think Jeannie, McKay's sister, would have been a cool permanent or even more frequent addition to the cast. She's pretty awesome.

Overheal · 10-09-2008 4:35pm

I dont think you have it in you to kill Jewel Staite. Or Nicole DeBoer for that matter.

I mean come on. Seriously.

Dammit someone donate her a photo shoot!

I'm arguing against killing her off.
