Stargate: Atlantis

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. This may or may not be a bad thing.

* Robert Patrick! Oh, honey, as soon as I saw your name in the credits, I knew you would show up, romance me, and die. But it was worth it.

* McKay! Canadian! Socute. He's just annoying enough now, at least so far. Here's hoping he finds true love. Maybe with the doctor.

* So, Jack had to send his boytoy off to another galaxy so Daniel wouldn't find out, eh?

* wtf Narim?

* I'm a bit "meh" on the characters so far, except for McKay. But I'm hoping they'll grow on me. Weir is cooler when she's sleeping sniping with Daniel.

* Vampire Elves from Outer Space! Er, yeah.

* I really hope that this show has something different to offer from SG1. Because if it's just the same "exploring new worlds, seeking out new civilizations" every week, I will kick and scream that they gave us this over Lucky Thirteen.

* Sheppard shooting Sumner was pretty cool. Gives me hope for Sheppard.

* All in all, I thought it was good for a pilot. Set up things with a relative minimum of exposition and gratuitous death. So, we'll see.

I think I've reached my quota for downloading shows. I've got SG-1, Atlantis, Fullmetal Alchemist, Prince of Tennis, and Naruto (which I'm still trying to catch up on) on a regular basis (and of course any more Parker Lewis eps that drop). Anything else I watch has got to be on DVD or even, shockingly, broadcast on TV.

I was all kinds of excited to see Robert Patrick's name at the beginning, since I didn't know he was going to be in this. He really needs to get a role where he's allowed to live for a while -- not that he didn't have a pretty cool death here, at least!
