STARGATE ATLANTIS: Yesterday, the Sci-Fi Channel and MGM Television Entertainment announced today plans for their proposed spinoff series of STARGATE SG-1 titled STARGATE ATLANTIS. Twenty one-hour episodes of ATLANTIS have been ordered to debut on SCIFI in the summer of 2004. The new series will air back-to-back with new episodes from the eighth season of STARGATE SG-1. Here is SCIFI's description of the setting of ATLANTIS:
"SG-1 centers on the Stargate, an ancient portal that allows instantaneous travel across the galaxy. STARGATE ATLANTIS will take viewers on a brand new adventure, with a whole new team. In the new series, a secret base left by the originators of the Stargate is discovered in the most unlikely of places – on Earth, buried among the ruins of the legendary city of Atlantis. The implications of this amazing discovery lead the Atlantis team to a distant galaxy where a primitive human civilization is threatened by a sinister new enemy."
Although no cast has yet been named, fans will be glad to hear that SCIFI also confirmed the appearance of SG-1 cast members in ATLANTIS episodes. The premiere episode of STARGATE ATLANTIS will be as a two-hour movie and definitely feature SG-1 characters. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper will serve as executive producers on the new series. Cooper is currently executive producer on STARGATE SG-1 while Brad Wright is co-creator of SG-1, and served as the original series’ executive producer for six seasons.
OK boys and girls lets witness the deconstruction of a great series into shity spin-offs!

how many gates can one planet have?!?!
[B]uninspired is more like it.

As many as the inhabitants want. They just can't all run at the same time.
[B]It was supposed to be a trilogy? That would have rocked! [/B][/QUOTE]
The trilogy continued in the form of two novels IIRC. If we totally ignored SG-1 and went JUST by the novels, the goa'uld would be FAR more powerful than we know them to be. I'm talking "so, you'll rise up against us eh? Time for a good bitchslapping to put you people back in your place!" powerful.

the longest running one hour comedy on tv :D
another spinoff series of a quality TV show
the only good one ever made (aside from all gundam series except SD gundam) was Crusade
[B]oh great

Was Gundam Wing the original or a spinoff? 'Cause if it's a spinoff, you can chalk it up as "worst spin off on the face of the planet".
[B]hey, i like SG-1... i agree, atlantis sounds............... bleh? but still it's something Sci-Fi to watch.... [/B][/QUOTE]
Hey, Farscape sounded bleh when I first saw it, but look what happened to it. It now has a MASSIVE following (ironicaly, mostly women!) and its getting resurrected! Granted, Atlantis does sound like a crappy spin-off....however it could turn out to be half-way decent. Look at what happened to TNG. Its first season sucked, but it got a hell of alot better afterwards. Even SG-1's first season wasn't all that great compared to the ones that followed.

Yeah, they all had P90s in the later series. ;)

[B]If it isn't good, why bother? [/B][/QUOTE]
ummm because it's Sci-Fi... and not a crappy sitcom... so, because it's Sci-Fi.
The new show could be interesting, but I'm not going to hold my breath mostly because SciFi's record so far has been pretty disappointing.
[B]I haven't seen very many Stargate episodes, but the ones I've seen are promising... makes me wonder if it'd be worth it to get into it.

Thanks for the list, though, I'll try to make sure to be on the lookout for the episodes you listed, at least as many as I will remember from that list.
Back on the subject at hand, I'm gonna give Atlantis a shot but i still have this feeling...
[B]Wow, looks like the 'not in' list would have been way shorter, so I'm better off just watching any and all episodes as often as I can catch them.

Well, next monday you might be able to catch "The Fifth Race". You've missed the Tok'Ra two-parter.
