« Common Ground is Brilliant »

I never watched SG-1 but I caught an episode of Atlantis one day on the SCI FI Channel. Whoa...the Wraiths had me hooked! With their nasty habit of feeding off humans you'd think they'd be extremely repulsive. However, wrap them in black leather coats and striking long white locks, give them audacious fighting skills, and have them go toe-to-toe with the humans and somehow they become the most appealing "bad" guys I've ever watched (next to Prince Nuada). Engaging acting by all--watch my personal favorites of Season 3... "Common Ground" with Todd the Wraith, "Sateda", and "McKay and Mrs. Miller." Skip episodes "Irresistible" and "Irresponsible." Note: Stargate Atlantis has been cancelled. It's frustrating and disappointing to learn that yet another outstanding family series is cancelled while shows like Two and a Half Men are still running. Ugh. .:. Rating: 5 / 5

The 3rd Season is the best season of the 3. It is a must have and if you don't have it what are you waiting for. .:. Rating: 5 / 5

 

« Another excellent season but it could have been much better »

The DVD set:
1. The editting is AWESOME. I owned many TV Series DVDs Set and NONE HAVE THE EDITTING OF SGA. The episode goes as a small movie and you can not feel where the commercial breaks were.
2. The art on some of the slim cases does look, like a bad print.
3. The DVDs themselves are great, easy to take and put back in, nice art.
4. The complete case is very slim, so it does not take a lot of space in your library.
5. There is no booklet, and there is a small summary on the back cover of each case volume for the episodes.
6. The menu has a very nice graphic and it is easy to read (unlike season 1)
7. You have scene selection and comments on the episodes.

The story:

I agree with most reviewers that season 3 was weak and most of the stories were boring.
1. The special effects were a step up from previews seasons. Specially the season finale between the beam, the shield, the city going underwater, the city raising to space it was a complete extravaganza and well received by this reviewer.
2. The wraith were not touch upon much and their story felt like it stop on this season.
3. The character of Michael returns but not much happens with it; making you think why bring it up.
4. The replicators were a nice threat. I do not watch SG1, so I was surprised to learn that they were used on that show. Knowing that I do have a complaint of using foes from another show. New Galaxy, New Show there should be NEW THREATS. On the other hand, I saw them as the BORG of the SG universe, of course cuter in this universe. =)
5. I did not like the death of doctor Becket and specially the departure of Dr. Weird. Unlike most reviewers I like her character, she seemed a little bland at times, but a strong leader at best.

Overall an excellent show, but four stars because the writing staff could do better. .:. Rating: 4 / 5
