All this death talk reminds me that for all of Weir's blandness and her questionable replicator storyline, she went down like a badass. Spacing yourself and with your last breath tricking your companions into spacing themselves is as good of a redemption as they come. Too bad they couldn't the real actress for that, though.

It was in the second episode with the "Lucius" guy who always drugged/tricked people into liking him. Sheppard finally shot him in a place not-in-the-arm.

Michael's death was actually pretty great until the very end; bad rear end ninja fight with Sheppard then Teyla just had to get the last "foot" in. though I don't really blame her. The whole thing looked awkward when she came quietly out of no where (on the LEDGE of like a 300 foot drop)

JetsGuy posted:I don't quite get the hate on Weir, I found her character to be awesome. /shrug They made her very wishy-washy and she basically always caved immediately to Shepard. Even though you could say the same of SG-1 and Hammond of Texas and O'Neill, it never felt like she was the one in control of anything. Which is weird because it's not as if the actress wasn't able to command some presence when the script actually called for it.

It's a real shame because SG1 Weir was a drat sight more tolerable than the one we got. Yeah she was written as the equivalent of a nagging wife to be shown the right way by Heroman, but even taking that into account, the actress just wasn't particularly endearing.

I have watched the whole run of SG1 a few times. I am doing Atlantis now which I only ever watched during its original TV run. I see a lot of people in here talking about villains. I have to say the more I think about it the biggest rear end in a top hat villains in all the Stargate shows are the Ancients. For super advanced beings they did nothing but gently caress everything up and then left. They were even so kind as to leave all their poo poo laying around to gently caress up things after they were gone.

I actually quite like(d) Weir. It's true the character could have been given a lot more to do but given that she was in the Hammond role I think she pulled it off really well. I totally get why Torri Higginson was frustrated over the lack of direction for her character though, Carter seems to have had the same problem since she turned up, she went from a soldier kicking rear end in the field to sitting in an office. Honestly other than Teyla and the Replicators I'm really enjoying Atlantis so far. It's not as good as SG1 was in its prime but few shows are.

The best part of Atlantis is the character growth between the cast if you ask me. You can tell they are having fun with it and it makes the ride that much better.

It was so weird and off-putting to see Carter in Atlantis as the leader. We're all use to her brilliance as well as being the only one to be able to solve many, many problems all on top of being an all-around bad rear end. In Atlantis, she did jack poo poo since Rodney took already filled her previous role. She was just ... there. At least with Weir we weren't expecting her to blow up a star to destroy a Wraith ship or whatever. Loved Woolsy; he had one of the best growths as a character, going back to the middle of the SG-1 run.

I kinda liked the male lead in it, up until the drugged dance in the streets of faux-India. Also Nikola was the same biologist guy from Stargate Atlantis.

So, by season 3, Farscape is complete and utter poo poo. The villains are dull, the action is bad, and pretty much every character outside of the original cast is loving terrible.

It was only four seasons so you are saying it's an incoherent mess during the time it finds it's legs. Also season three is amazing when the crew splits and season 4 has the episodes on earth and the amazing finale. Season 3 also had that amazing time travel episode.
