Worst. Promo. Pic. Evah!

[ankh]

I thought some of the SG-1 promo pics were bad. We had the deranged airbrusher of season 10. I thought the season 7 SG-1 pic where Daniel's head had been superimposed over that of Jonas was awful. This S4 Atlantis pic (ergo spoiler!) has to be the absolute pits. Nothing works. Height differences, lighting, McKay and Ronon as hobbits...

I don't think it's going to truly become Spamlantis until later. They've got to get her established first. TPTB are not completely stupid. ;)

Yeah, I agree. I don't think these two episodes are the rule of the rest, but they certainly stopped some fan outcry, which backs up the leak not being that accidental. That makes a lot of sense.

Those two episodes had enough John and Rodney to keep many fans satisfied, which is good for M&M. Despite that, I am not going to start trusting those two, who in a good day are very mediocre writers and on a bad day could ruin any show you think of.

I'm pretty sure this will be like SG-1 season 4, when everying was ruined. It's the same, and as you say, Mallozzi and Mullie are there in the middle of the mess. I wish I could do like you, but I can't help myself and will watch the whole thing, just as I did with Sg-1 (Minus some season 6 because I couldn't bear it).

I wouldn't trust M&M any further than I could throw them. Mallozzi just has way too much fun trying to intentionally piss fans off. The unintionally pissing off fans is just a bonus for him. To be honest, Sam being there I might could have ignored, but M&M seem to worship the ground she walks on, so with them in charge... no, I'll pass for now.

I'll probably eventually watch it, but from a distance, as in when the DVDs come out. I'll have already heard the feedback from fans, so I'll know if there's anything Irresistable/Irresponsible worthy to avoid, that sort of thing.

I still haven't watched the end of season three. I'd actually downloaded it, but the news of Sam's move and M&M in charge came out right about the time Sunday was coming up, and I basically said, "Screw it." It was just too much happening at once, and I didn't want to deal with it after all the drama in SG-1 fandom. I didn't watch it on Sci Fi and haven't gotten around to watching the downloads either (though I know what happens), much like I never got around to watching a lot of SG-1's 6th season.

In my perfect world, someone would post some "best of" clips from each episode (especially John/Rodney stuff). I'm actually following a storyline from a soap opera this way, watching five minutes of the show every few days instead of an hour each day hoping the part I'm interested in will air that day.
