The premiere episode of Stargate Atlantis in Canada will air this comming Monday on the Movie Network.

Between that, and news that the new Battlestar Galactica series will be comming next year, made my month!

I really enjoyed SGA, I think it will be a promising series. The only problem I had with it is that they didn't bring a nuke. In the movie, when they were jumping into the far unkown, they brought the nuke. But if they brought the nuke and nuked the alien ship I guess there wouldn't be much of a series would there. Lesson learned: always bring your nukes =)

Sheridan from Babylon 5 always lived by this motto.

As for Stargate Atlantis i don't know if i'll watch it, it won't be showing here for a while anyway. I'll probably give it a chance but i doubt it will ever top SG1. That said i am looking forward to the 8th season

I watched it on channel 244 of Direct TV, the Sci-Fi Channel. I hope they have an encore performance of it.

You know, I haven't watched any TV (excepting a bit around the holidays, just because everyone else was) for the past two years now... SGA is sounding promising though.

Hopefully they release the seasons on DVD relatively quickly.

You didn't think I was going to start watching TV again all of a sudden, did you?

Well it's got high praise from almost everyone who saw it so i guess i'll give it a chance.

I'm exceptionally wary of SCI-FI Spin off's these days

But nothing will be able to convince me it's better than Stargate SG1.

It has been taken off air on aussie tv - it was one of channel 7 highest raters and yet it was pulled not to return ... yet a shame.

To bad there are no legal sites where you could pay to download episodes. The series is mostly on DVD now, and that is also one option, however the cost of shipping internationally is high at the moment and not worth the expendature unless you are willing to spring for the entire six DVD sets, with the Seventh coming in October.

Also Staw Wars, all three movies, Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi are coming out on DVD in September and its just me speaking here, but I WOULD BUY THAT SET!
