This whole "wraith" plotline on SG-Atlantis sucks Couldn't they show BSG reruns instead?
Since the first season they have watered the Wraith down way too much. But I still like the show. If I had to pick between the two, I would take SGA over BSG. BSG is very good but dark enough that I am not always in the mood to see it. And I liked tonight's SGA episode anyway.
SG-1 was not renewed, so it is possible that we will end up with Eureka/SGA/BSG next season. I like Eureka pretty well. I have to wonder what this does to the possibility of a mentioned third SG show since SG1 has sagging ratings and was not renewed. Of course SGA gets MUCH better ratings than SG1 did so another entirely new show might do better as well.
The corniness of the wraith in the first couple seasons is why I never got into Stargate Atlantis at all. Couldn't really care less what they did with the wraith since then. Mind you, I'm quite willing to whore myself out to bad sci-fi, but even I have standards :D
