Stargate Atlantis (2004-2009)



I've come to realise that when you decide to watch a sci-fi television series
your pretty much committed.
See the downside is that not every episode is amazing.
In fact when its bad, its dire. Like, really dire. Oh Dear.
However, when its good....nothing really comes close.
So you go through 5 seasons to come across some real gems.

The real problem is that you have to really get to know
all the characters really well before the true genius
of the writing can take effect.
Its hard otherwise, and i've tried to show friends clips
or sit down with one to watch an episode.
And now they think i'm this sad geezer who likes watching
budget sci-fi tv shows.
So if you haven't gotten involved its not really going
to really do it for you.

So the best thing about SGA??
I discovered Rodney McKay!!
The people who wrote this character must have used him
as an outlet to rip at everyone on the show,
because that is just what Dr. McKay did.
I found myself watching SGA just to watch this guy!
He's full of endless quotes. He is simply amazing to watch.
So much so that i recently joined a Facebook group called
'every quote from Rodney Mckay is my favourite quote'






Oh did i mention Skinner from X-Files made it onto this one.
