Atlantis = The Uber-est of Uber Cools.
Jul. 16th, 2004 10:59 pmOkay. The season premire of the Stargate SG-1 spin-off. This is the only good spin-off I've seen. Hell, this thing is fantastic!
Okay, here are the bulletpoints of why this show is skyrocketing up my list of favorites.
1. The city of Atlantis itself. This is some serious eyecandy in just a set! I'd kill to live in Atlantis, it's so beautiful. The crew did some awesome things with it. The still pictures I saw of it were nothing to watching everything light up as people walk into rooms. And from what I see of everything, all visuals are fantastic!
2. The Wraiths. Screw the snakes from SG-1, these guys scare the hell outta me. These blue freaks can draw the life force out of someone just by touching them. It's horrifying to watch. And this time, they don't want to enslave humans; they want them for food. O.O Scary dudes.
3. Our main character, Major John Shephard. Okay, okay. I admit in the beginning of the (TWO-HOUR!) premire, I wanted to beat him bloody with a zat gun, then shock him with it all three times. Yeah, he annoyed me with his high-and-mighty attitude. Then he redeemed himself with the bad-assed spaceship piloting. Too cool.
4. McKay. Dr. Rodney McKay. Scientific genius and arrogant bastard with a superiority complex. He's whiny, sarcastic, overbearing. And his intellect makes him sexy. AKA, he's mine! So, I, Lucia Iris Legaia Tanaka, hereby stake my claim over fictional persona Dr. Rodney McKay.
This is going to be an interesting season.
