Stargate Atlantis

I've just watched Stargate Atlantis for the first time. It was around episode 3 of the first season I think. Channel Five are showing it at 8pm Friday night, so sort of primetime if you ignore the fact that it's Channel Five (the newest and least watched of the UK's terrestrial channels (ie. non digital channels)).

Anyway, Stargate Atlantis. It was rubbish! The story was weak, ooh a black monster, it was like something out of Start Trek OT, but not as funny. And the dialogue was terrible, just about every word spoken was exposition, nothing was natural at all. The acting was also awful.

The orginal Stargate series was never one of my favourites but I used to watch it if it was on and it usually kept me entertained. At least SG1 had ok actors who were sort of funny (full of compliments aren't I?). But Atlantis? No thanks.
