Stargate Atlantis, what a stupid name (my brother refers to it as the underwater one). UK terrestrial viewers finally get Atlantis, so what do I think about it?

After the 1st epp I agreee that it rehashes the 1st epp of SG1, but that said, I think there is potential. At least for now I'm willing to give Atlantis a chance.

My view on the first eppisode is that akthough in the same say as SG1, they go to a new world and find new enemies, there is potential for new stories (although truth be told, I would rather not have had another human worlds idea, leave the ancients dead and buried in cryptic Azgard legends), there are a few good charectors. (I'm sure that the irritating army guy is the T1000) Bringing in the unpleseant Canadian scientist is a good idea, exept he is not a jerk, I liked it better when he was a jerk who calls Carter a dumb Blonde!
Liz McNeil (name sounds like Doom3) is a good diplomatic person, kinda the new Daniel.

I guess that the new series is one I'm still going to watch, even it is nowhere as good as SG1

(please note drunken typing)
