Stargate Atlantis, the Final Battle: SPOILERS
Well, that kind of sucked. I feel like they've hyped up near death so much, this episode felt like it didn't have any meat, and I didn't feel any kind of suspense. I was kind of sad when I thought Ronon had died.
Also, way to redo Mckay's character into a moosh-ball at the very end of the series.
Keller: "Are you okay?"
Mckay: Sarcastically, "I"m alive."
Okay, so that's typical. Now should come some complaining, with Sheppard and Ronon shouting for him to shut up in the background. This would have been a great classic ending. But NO.
(continued) Mckay: "I've got you." *puts arm around Keller* "What else do I need?"
Oh PLEASE. Mckay is neither that smooth nor that adept and expressing emotions. You know he cares when he bugs the hell out of you and shows up at your door wielding X-Files complaining about the incompetence of his staff.
Thought I was going to cry at the end of the series. Nope. Thanks for letting me keep my dignity, new Stargate writing staff, by making the end so stupid, I just ended up walking out dispiritedly. This does not bode well for Stargate Universe.
I did however like ties to other Stargate episodes.
Vegas: With alternate reality Stargate characters in the series, I'd wanted an episode mainly about an alternate universe, and I got it with "Vegas." (though I must admit, whoever was doing the postproduction for that episode loved white-outs waaay too much) Makes me feel like the Stargate writers have been roaming around the web during lunch breaks getting ideas from SGA fanfiction. The events of Vegas ended up interfering directly with the original SGA universe and became the main basis of the plot of the last episode. I REALLY liked that. Alternate realities imprinting on each other- that's the stuff of good fanfiction.
The Daedalus Variations: I don't know how many times I watched this episode on youtube until it got taken off, but it was a LOT. They used knowledge they'd gained from the alternate reality hopping Daedalus to figure out the Wraith signal they were picking up was from the alternate reality from "Vegas."
The Siege: Haha, Sheppard remembered! When he goes on a suicide mission to nuke the hive ship in the last episode, he says "If you contact Atlantis, tell him I said goodbye." Last time John went on a suicide mission in "The Siege," he just left with a 'so long, Rodney,' which got him yelled at in the end. Good thing you remembered and spared yourself a Mckay rant, Sheppard!
