Stargate Atlantis vs Battlestar Galactica

[Hand of Evil]

Atlantis needs to look at culling the herd a bit, it has some good actors and a lot happening but it could use a bit of adjustments with characters, some need to move from support to more active roles but that may come in later seasons.

BSG - has no interest for me, I tried to watch it and while there is some good interaction, the show just does not do anything for me, except for Boomer, who is hot!

Lets see; SGA, good sci-fi battles with the wraith,..., SGA, Great story's on time travel, cryogenics,

Battles do not impress me, in and of themselves. A battle is only good in context of a good story. And these other "great stories" you mention I did not see, because I don't think you can have a great story with cardboard characters, which is what I saw when I did watch the show.

If it's as good a "soap opera" as Deep Space Nine and Stargate: SG-1 (love the tension between O'Neill and Carter), then it's a very good thing.

I think "space opera" would be a better turn of phrase. Been around since the 40's if my memory serves. Could be earlier.

SG:A lacks spark for me. Not sure why that is. I was pretty psyched for it, but it just doesn't do anything for me.

BSG is the bomb, however. Much love for the BSG.

Most of my friends puke at the mere thought of watching a SCI FI of any type, but I have turned many of them onto BSG.

BSG- caught lots of people from the mini-series and has held them captivated. Me, of course, being one of those people.

Tried to watch Atlantis since I liked SG1, and though I occationally catch an episode randomly can't watch it each week.

I think this is the first time I've ever had a night where I wanted to watch 3 hours of programming straight on one network. Certainly never happened on the major networks!

The wargamer in me is a sucka for any battles of any kind, of course I do prefer a battle with a cause or a story behind it.

It's strange, out of all the shows on SF on Friday, the only one I still watch is Andromeda. Which SF doesn't even seem to advertise anymore.

Yes, cause it is the last season for the show...contract wise or something.
