So begins the journey! I guess it'll be a few seasons before I see any of the Firefly and Farscape people though. And you know it's interesting, talking about sci-fi fans missing their favorites, Veronica Mars actually turned into a mini Buffy-alumni haven for a while. Both Charisma Carpenter and Alyson Hannigan had recurring roles, and <i>Joss Whedon</i> actually had a guest role for one episode (which makes perfect sense actually, because he was totally <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_Mars#Support_from_writers" rel="nofollow">bonkers for the show</a>)! btw I have to say, he was actually pretty funny.

I'm not so sure what the big deal is with some fans and that character. I actually really liked the friendship that seemed to be forming between her and Sam. And I'm intrigued about the possibility of her and Rodney. I would have laughed at that at the beginning of the season but by the end I saw a lot of potential there! I've just recently gotten around to watching Firefly. Last night I watched Serenity. Jewel Staite was a riot on both. Stargate really is a haven for sci-fi fans missing some of their favorites. SG-1 gave Farscape fans their fix and Firefly fans got to see what Inara would be like as an evil "god." Atlantis gives Firefly fans Kaylee and now Christina Cox from Blood Ties and Nicole de Boer from Star Trek DS9. Gotta love it! I like Kellar.

But it also created this weird discomfort for the people intereacting with her character as well. I just don't understand at all. I was surprised they had a military leader anyway when Atlantis was clearly supposed to be run by a civilian. I enjoy Woosley a lot, but in charge? And as a prevelant role. I'm biting my nails in discouragement though I hope I am wrong. How do you feel about Kellar? I think she has been one of the really positive additions. :)

I haven't heard that one in awhile. ;-) I saw a photo from Continuum that hard Carter and Daniel side by side. I'm seriously hoping we get to get back in touch with that friendship. And I was really bummed that they didn't do more with Sam on Atlantis. What makes me really angry is that Carter is being replaced in Season 5. She's basically being fired (the character - not the actress). Couldn't the writers come up with another reason for her to leave? So what do you think of them putting Woolsey in charge? I'm a bit squeamish on that one. Love the actor... not so sure about this move, though. Okay I laughed out loud at your sign off. I haven’t heard that one in awhile. ;-)

I really loved that she was always the go-between of O'Neill and Daniel when they'd have disagreements, being both military and and a scientist. One thing I don't like about her on Atlantis is that she has limited interaction with McKay and their usual bantering, but her technological knowledge really hasn't been explored or utilized as much. I think they left her character too static on there, and she just became a familiar body to fill the shoes of Weir. So, I'm hoping their are more SG-1 movies ahead for her to really flourish as Carter again. KUMTRIAH! I hear you about Daniel and Carter.

I really, really hope MGM will give us many more movies. I do hope Continuum has some more Sam/Daniel friendship scenes. As much as I love Vala ever since she showed up Sam and Daniel just don't spend much time together anymore! And Atlantis does have an awesome theme song. ;-) Scary to think Continuum is supposed to be even better than Ark of Truth, isn’t it? I really, really hope MGM will give us many more movies.

Promogirl is right. It's motion picture quality and in some cases better. I'm partial to the opening score of Atlantis. I think it's possibily the best ever on television. It's incredibly palpable. As far as SG-1 and Atlantis are concerned, I love them both, but I'm also partial to SG-1. Atlantis is great, but it's a completely different show than SG-1 was, even though their character's often have interludes in each other's galaxies. You can watch Atlantis without the foreknowledge of SG-1, but it's better if you watch SG-1 first. However, ten seasons is a lot of ground to cover, so why not just try them both? And Promogirl, I finally saw the Ark Of Truth. It was goooood. I just have to add to the discussion about Stargate (both of them) and the amazing score. Promogirl is right.

At least I hope they do. I mean high school drama or not, they're still kind of on a countdown to armageddon. Remember this awesome exchange from that Sarah/Cameron scene in Heavy Metal? <blockquote>Sarah: I can't believe I let him talk me into this. You try to open your hands just a little, and it's too soon. Cameron: Is it? The world ends in four years.</blockquote> Such a cool scene. haha...what on EARTH is taking them so long to release that DVD box set?
