Creativity starves insanity
After having a couple of comicbooks kill themselves to hold down the poster—a task much tougher than the usual playing cards—Stargate: Atlantis finally splashes itself on the television.
Holding onto this subdued cool, it's an easy transition and siphon from the regular flavoured SG1. Daniel Jackson and Colonel O'Neill are in it just long enough to spark an overlay of interest without stealing another show for themselves. A character cross reference to another series of strangeness on the soil of the United States surely beaming on a slight wavelength. Nothing overt, coincidental if even at that.
Leader of the Pegasus pack, John Sheppard, is another leading man afflicted with a stale and common name. The equivalent of using "said" in written dialogue. Sheppard oozes out a similar, though different cool to O'Neill. A wry and sly aloofness coming through without seeming like a Replicant.
Beautiful design on the city of the Ancients, an architecture both cold and inviting. Their stargate is a sleek and efficient ring of lights to sites. Their shield from unexpected outsiders a flashy looking sheet of energised ice. Once again they manage to wrap in the legends of mythology and fables into their world of science. Brilliantly laid plans that.
Lady Wraith looks like Kade from Arcana Studios. Either that or another character in another stable entirely. Definitely reminiscent of something though. Hope they don't push the regular episodes into the wandering eye of a 2330 slot.
