Sweet.
Where'd you get it?
Nice to see a wraith. Is that Bob? My favorite Wraith character would have to be Todd though... one of these days they'll actually get around to revealing a wraiths true name.

The first one I got from there was the same pic, but it stretched out the screen SO far; I hate that felgercarb.
Bob. Heh heh.

as much as I enjoy seeing Jewel in Atlantis, Summer in Terminator and yes I even watch Chuck for ADAM
TORCHWOOD is the best sci fi on tv right now=well Galactia is back in April

Which goes to show just because we are Browncoats doesn't mean we all like the same stuff. I personally cannot stand Torchwood or Doctor Who... and don't even get my started on BSG. I tried very hard to enjoy all three, even watching long after what I'd consider torture. I stuck with BSG into the first half of the second season and still to this day attempt to watch Doctor Who. I just can't see what anyone could like about them. Still if so many good people love them I'll believe they're really good shows.
I'm not saying SGA is without flaws, or even that it has fewer. Just saying I can enjoy Atlantis but find the humor and quirkiness of Torchwood and Doctor Who to be overwhelming and the bleak, relatively humorless atmosphere of BSG to be annoying and depressing. Not to mention a certain actress who I don't think should even be in the business. The Stargate Universe has had it's fair share of shoddy acting but at least none of those where regulars. At least not the really bad ones.
So I guess what I'm getting at is this. Why do you like Torchwood so much? Is it a cultural thing? Like when people would smoke just because it was "cool"? Is it an acquired taste or am I just missing something? Same question for BSG.
Anyway back on topic, sorta. Is it just me or does Scifi really screw it's viewers when it comes to upcoming episode promos for Atlantis? The most recent seemed to be built around some surprise the viewer could never guess at... and what do they do? They ruin the last five minutes and actually even state "You'll never believe what happens in the last five minutes!" Ummm... yes I can, seeing as you just showed me you idiots! This has actually been going on for sometime, I remember this problem with SG1, it's just lately it seems to be getting much worse. For the entire season they've ruined the largest plot twist for nearly every episode. I'm considering emailing them and asking to get in touch with the idiot who does the promos. Ofcourse I'd word that a bit differently. Also it wouldn't be as big a problem if they didn't show them four-five times an hour during every show for the entire week.
P.S. I know not a big deal but it's just been pissing me off for awhile.
P.S.S I noticed my BSG, Doctor Who and Torchwood comments could be taken wrongly as offense. I'll reiterate that I've really, really tried to like them. I'm mostly just perplexed as to how I can't and so many can. Also I've been in a somewhat foul mood lately due to "life issues" so I apologize.

no offense
I think every show is in the eyes of the beolder-I dont particulary like Dr Who either or Buffy or Angel

Exactly how I feel. I'm sorry about my other post. I don't hate either show or think anyone is stupid for liking them. Like you said, it's in the eye of the beholder.
In the spirit of this I'm going to come out as well and admit right now that I really don't care much for Buffy or Angel. I respect the awesome Jossness of both shows and I don't hate them. It's just something about the goofy latex and that I've never been too fond of the campiness.
Anyway, to try once again to keep the thread on topic. Did anyone see today's rerun of Atlantis? "Lost Boys" ain't a bad episode. Not the best of season two by far but still not bad. I hear Ford might pop up again in the coming seasons. I also wouldn't doubt if we never see him again. It's a big Universe. Time will tell, and so will the promos the week before the episode airs. I'm sure.

Although I don't want it the thread to go too far off topic, I'm with you Strangebird on Torchwood. I just haven't been taken with it. to be honest I haven't watched a whole lot of epiosde. I did watch the recent season 2 premiere and thought it was ok at best. I do have the following eps recorded, I just cant motivate myself to give it another chance
For me, Dr Who is at times the best thing on tv and the worst. I can understand why people don't like it cos IMO there's been some terrible episodes, and I can understand why people like it (Blink is without a doubt one of the greatest episodes of any tv show ever). I just don't understand those who love it to pieces and think its the greatest show ever. Have they not seen the dud episodes?
As for Battlestar... You're on your own there. I think its one of the greatest shows on the air at the minute
After Lost.
Back on topic...
I thought the latest ep of SGA was quite good.
I don't particularly like the Wraith as villains. They look cool, but the voices just make them sound like a lame Goauld rip-off. Is there a law in the Stargate universe that big bads have to sound like that?
This ep wasn't so bad though. The Wraith didn't do a whole lot of talking, just shooting and dying. Plus it was good to see Teal'c back in action, and those fight scenes (both in the practice room and later at the SGC) were pretty brutal.
I want more!
