I haven’t been a big fan of Atlantis, but I rather enjoyed tonights episode and season ender. While there wasn’t much to it, they set up a nice cliff hanger and tied several past stories together. SG-1 use to do that! I think it’s safe to say that they have certainly set the stage for a “game changer”, as many people would call it.

We’re lost in space… though, more like Star Trek Voyager meets Star Trek Deep Space 9 than Lost In Space. Ok, maybe nothing like either one of those at all. Who cares, right?

We now have Atlantis flying through an unknown system, with nothing around, no ability to dial out for help, and they are running out of power fast. Best thing about it all, is live or die, we won’t have to spend much time with Dr. Elizabeth Weir next season.

Obviously, they’ll figure something out and get in contact with Earth. After all, we have the Stargate legend, Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), joining the show… though, I hope they don’t do it too fast, let’s have some peril on Atlantis for a few episodes until they figure things out. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that Carter will be taking command, I just don’t want it to be one of those episodes where it takes 10 minutes to figure out what happened, and another 10 minutes to fix the issue.

Though hopefully there won’t be very many of those Carter-McKay love stories. I’ve had about all of those (and McKay) that I can stand. Can he be the one we kill off next?? Please?? I’d gladly let Ford and/or Michael come back (both?).

Oh, and I wanted to say congrats to Rachel Luttrell, who plays Teyla. Word is that she is expecting, and it is being written into the scripts for next season. Ronon you sly dog!
