I agree with all the reviews and comments here. While I did not watch Grey’s Anatomy or Wrath of Khan, I still think the whole idea of an exploding tumor was…well let’s say it made me wonder what they had smoked that night.

I hope Carson comes back, but I moreso hope that SG:A gets better than this, because right now it’s been going downhill for half a season now and I hope they pick it up soon, because Atlantis is all that’s left for now with SG1 being gone.

I thought the aftermath of Carson dieing was very nicely done, but, No! not yet!

That’s the end of atlantis for me. I can think of at least two ways out of the so called “cliffhanger” at the end fo S3, so I don’t think I’ll be bothering with S4.

It is a shame watching Atlantis self-destruct after what was a good start. By time SG-1 was into it’s 3rd season we loved the characters and most importantly how each balanced out the team dynamic. Dr Beckett’s character was NEEDED, maybe the only character that most of us could relate to or even would not mind sitting in a room with. With twists like this I would not mind if they binned Atlantis and put the budget into SG-1′s straight to DVD movies. If this is this as good as it gets I think they should bin these ideas of a 3rd spin-off series.

Does anyone else think Atlantis “jumped the shark” with this decision?? Can’t see how they can recover from this loss or replace central/lovable character. Although I’m extremely disappointed I’ll still tune in to see how carry on without Dr. Beckett.

There doesn’t seem to be anyone out there who thinks this was a good idea! (And you would think they would take the hint!)

Oh well, when the show is cancelled we can at least have the admittedly cold comfort of saying I told you so.

In the starbust reiew they had the same thought that I had: Carson’s death was really like a cheap version of grey’s anatomy!

Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

“You always have been, and always shall be, my friend….”

Wah! Or something like that. Then Spock came back. I’m pessimistic about Beckett being resurrected. I don’t think the show will last past its fourth season or be cancelled halfway.

As a fellow Atlantian Fan, (who by the way comes from Paisley is Scotland)…….I was dismayed to see how ruthless (in a totally uncessary way) the writers have been with this. Why the good Doctor?!……And why in such a meaningless way?!

I realise that the writers are trying to keep the show interesting, but this in my view is not the way to go about this. Look at SG1, Grey’s Anatomy and CSI Miami to name a few! It is not a winning formula to kill off beloved characters!!

It is one thing to keep the fans on their toes & guessing, and perhaps even to disppoint them a little with character issues……..but not to break their hearts meaninglessly & so completely put them off their favourite programs!

I thought the point of good SciFi like this (eg. Star Trek; Star Wars) was to keep hope & the faith alive. Not to shower the fans with too much realism….It is ‘Fiction’ after all!!

Writers will really do anything for more publicity!!

Totally dismayed & beyond disappointed with the SGA writers.
