On a more general note, Lorne has been a bit more interesting recently, on both Atlantis and SG-1. Earlier in the series his main role was to be the other ranking military officer who would tend to disagree with Sheppard's decisions and basically be a foil, but more recently the conflict is gone and he's just been a proper second-tier character. A Zelenka to Sheppard's Rodney, which I guess was done more directly last week with Lorne/Zelenka getting started on a "game" of their own. | On a more general note, Lorne has been a bit more interesting recently, on both Atlantis and SG-1.

(First watched 2007-06-01) Carson! Jesus, what happened? This would've been much more shocking if not for being spoiled online, even when I try to avoid spoilers... but man, do the powers behind the show know what they're doing? SG-1 had a consistent cast for its first 5 years; Atlantis had major changes from season 1 to 2, and now from 3 to 4. It feels like they're flailing about, and poor Carson is the victim. He didn't exactly pull a [[Daniel Jackson]], either, so I don't see how this could have the benefit of making for a richer fictional universe down the road. | |||
Seeing the lead-up to the initial explosion from different viewpoints from characters in their downtime was neat; there's an extra dimension knowing what's going on at various places simultaneously. However, it's pretty much overshadowed by... what the hell happened later. I also wonder if from a story standpoint we're supposed to believe that everyone who's fallen in the line of duty on Atlantis has had such a showy gate room sendoff. | |||
