I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.

show had such a limited budget that they hired don s davis because he still had the suit from twin peaks

his speech to his son bobby was maybe one of the coolest things ever

I guess he never made it out of the C-list roles. A shame, I always found him to come across as pretty genuine.

he was a theater teacher and he did a lot of commercials in canada. he didn't even audition for twin peaks, he met David Lynch and they wrote the role for him.

they originally wanted hammond to be more of an active character but Don S. Davis said the show should be about the team, not their commander and his personal problems. and since he was an army captain IRL he also didn't want Hammond of Texas to be another generic military hardass character who the team had to go around to do anything and made sure they wrote him as more of a father figure who had the team's best interests in mind and was usually with them fighting military bureaucracy.

of course he still got to be a badass sometimes

Atlantis really was a dumb show though. I remember binge watching a series-long marathon of it in 2007 right after I got out of the military and had a multi-day hangover...

It probably wasn't as stupid when aired weekly, but back to back it was insanely obvious that they just kept recycling the same few story lines over and over again.

Atlantis was awesome. Shepherd, McKay and Ronon were awesome.

Atlantis was best watched how it was aired, right after SG-1. Several episodes of SG-1 and Atlantis are leading into each other and help make some instances of interaction make sense. The worst episode of Atlantis is the one where Teyla sings for half the drat thing. The Wraith also seem like they are going to be a good enemy and then they go and humanize them. Sure humanizing the Goa'uld somehow worked. I mean Nerus is the best character ever.

I love when they capture Nerus and he's getting all that food, his reaction to "individually frosted caked" always makes me laugh. Wraith as age stealing vampires without the ability to communicate would have probably been pretty good. Really though the final thing that killed them was that they could reverse it.

I really think Atlantis is bad because of the enemy. The good guys are perfect. The best episode is when they find the world that they think they are playing a game with.

Another race ruined by humanization. They were great until repli-Carter.

Yeah, just as the Borg were ruined by the Borg queen.
