MCF: totally forgot that I hadn’t posted on Atlantis. The last two episodes were flipping amazing and I just about almost applauded when Atlantis took on the Super Hive. Super props to all the characters doing the things they do best (like Shepherd flying a ship into the hive ship to destroy it from the inside…lol) but super props on Mr. Woolsey taking charge of the whole situation and getting super heroic at the helm. Loved Carter at the helm of the SGC even if its during Landry’s absence. Some of the best effects ever with the battle totally was awesome. Loved the Darts Kamikaze attack on Area-51 and I can’t wait for Atlantis movies. The closing shot of them looking out at the watery planet with the golden gate bridge was just classic.

I love meta commentary. :)

Clunky exposition has become a trademark of 24. “Chloe, recap the current situation for those that forgot over the commercial break!” “Well Bill, if Jack and Tony, who are both working undercover, don’t get Motobo, they won’t have the leverage to get to Candyman’s people!” They never could finesse that stuff in naturally.

BSG is depressing but it’s so ridiculously well done. Countless scenes that are at once repulsive and beautiful at the same time. I’m also starting to wonder if they aren’t ALL some form of Cylon, they just resurrect differently. In the case of the humans, it’s purely biological with genetic memory passed down to be accessed by some trigger(Watchtower). It wouldn’t explain Kara’s recreation right down to dogtags and ship though….chronal anomaly? They’re both her? Whatever it is, it even freaked out Leoben, which adds more impact to it. Good stuff.

What did you think of the Atlantis finale? I thought those last two episodes were better than most of the second half of the season, and got back a certain flavor that had been missing for a while now. Loved the music choices in the 2nd-to-last ep and the final ending had everything I’d logically hope to see in a finale. I won’t say more in case you haven’t seen them yet for some reason…
