Stargate

Recommended Posts

Stargate could have a really excellent year now that they're adding Ben Browder and Claudia Black to the lineup. Farscape was definitely some of my favorite sci-fi so it'll be great to see Jon & Aeryn on the screen again.

Stargate Atlantis got off to a respectable start last season, so that could shape up to be a good ride as well.

Battlestar Galactica. Man. Where do I start? Simple some of the best television out there, IMO. After last season's cliffhanger, I gave up trying not to be surprised anymore. Everytime I thought they couldn't surprise me, BSG managed to do it with every single episode.

I'm glad Amanda is still on the show, but the entire series dynamic is going to be changed because of Richard Dean Anderson leaving. He's only in two episodes in season 9. Jack's sense of humor and blow-it-up-now-study-it-later attitude was a nice counterbalance to Teal'c's deadpan and Sam's theoretical astrophysics technobabble and Daniel's need to study and observe everything to death before doing anything about it.

They're bringing in new characters, but I'm worried it'll turn out like the last season of X-Files, because what really made that show was the interaction between Mulder and Scully, and when they were basically replaced with Doggett and Reyes, many people stopped watching. The episodes weren't as good (imo) because there wasn't really time for character development, and it was hard to convince the audience to care about the new characters when they liked the old ones so much. I don't want to see that happen with Stargate.

Then again, introducing a new character did wonders for Star Trek: Voyager; Seven was interesting and brought some life into the show, but a new character didn't work so well on Deep Space 9...(did anyone else want to strangle Ezri?)

Of course, I'm going to give Stargate season 9 a chance to see how things turn out. New characters can turn out really well or completely sink a show. It'll all depend on how well the writers and actors handle them.
