Musings On SG-1 and Atlantis.

[legoline]

So, recently I'm under the impression that there are quite some few people who complain about the characters in the Stargate universe, or the way things are going, how characters develop - or not - and frankly, I can't understand that.

To me, both SG shows are fun shows. I watch them for *gasp* entertainment. I've never expected to see great, new, mind blowing shows, pushing the limits of television. I've never expected to see broken characters that are constantly fretting over their lives. I've never expected to see story arcs that make you question religion, politics, or your own existence.

There's other shows for that, which I also watch happily.

But Stargate's become my "relax television". My fun shows. Give me an entertaining plot, a little snark between the characters and I'm happy. I never thought season two of SG:A was worse than season one. I don't think season three is even worse than that.

They're just... oh, I dunno,...fun?

I think Stargate is one of the few shows that remained entertaining to me. I mean, I`m in the 9th Season now and it`s still some nice, harmless fun. I don`t have the urge to meta on it or anything but I like watching it.
Compared to the X-Files where I just wanted it to stop in the last couple seasons. It was like a long, drawn-out death. :(

SG:A, I loved from the start and I liked the second Season as much as the first. There were some changes there, true, but it didn`t detract from my overall enjoyment with it. Frankly, as long as there is McShep-snark, with a little side of Dr.Zelenka and Dr. Beckett thrown in, I`m happy.

That's exactly how I feel about the shows. It's harmless fun and as long as they don't screw up majorly, it will be.

Yup, same here. It's just entertaining, nothing more.
