astri13Stargate Atlantis
First off, I missed the team. Rodney had a cameo and the others were nowhere to be seen. Poor Ronon especially. Some fun action stuff and he misses it.
Secondly, the newly introduced female team. Well, I kinda got a look into what the PTBs probably mean when they say SGU will be more "youth-orientated" because, hello, two out of four people on that team looked WAY, way too young for their corresponding military rank. Captain with 21, huh? Do love Christina Cox though.
And why did they have Sheppard make a big thing about it in the beginning just to have a stupid joke in? The guy never really blinked at the fact that he had two female leaders or when he recruited a female for his team so why the big-eyed "giiiiirls?" reaction. Come on.
The flirtation between Porter and Carson was kinda weird and seemed tagged on.
The obnoxious gun-toting seargant was...obnoxious. And not because she was a woman but because of the personality would have been obnoxious on anybody. But I fear that she is EXACTLY the kind of character the writers envision for SGU. Urgh.
Otherwise, I do like people being confined somewhere and hunted by monsters. Of course I did wonder why they didn't just try and dial out. Gate broken?
So, this one gets a so-so from me. I would have liked it better with the actual team than with "spin-off test reel" team. Kinda reminded me of Highlander Season 6 where they did it in every episode.

Date: 2008-09-06 07:12 pm (UTC)At the moments I`m so sensitive with this issue because I`m beyond tired with all the mysogyny rants that make it seem like all the damn world is out to get poor, victimized women-me. Man, even McKay doesn`t feel so put upon by the universe.
And then when the writers write in such stupid jokes it will only feed in the "men are such sexist pigs and out to get the poor victimized women". Even though the character hasn`t been like that ever.
God, it`s such a self-feeding prophecy, I hate it.

True. Sheppard makes everything better.
