Stargate Atlantis
56Or leave it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.
A crew, a post, and a problem every week. Competent adventure. Not a moral education, and not a waste.
The glance
Household, Piety are the thin ones.
This phone
Set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
After the credits
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
Atlantis is the cleaner neighbor of the Sunday storefront: people who are good at something, far from home, trying not to wreck the people they meet or the city they were given. It will not teach a thirteen-year-old how to live. It will not teach him that hell is a musical or that a stepbrother is a plot. On this particular morning that is a relative good.
Fine for a teen who likes a team. Prefer the episodes where the argument is whether the powerful thing should be used at all.
Folio
Keep Stargate Atlantis in the record.
The date, your number, and one sentence.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Where to watch
Finding the page.
The eight
Industry
7/10
Scientists and soldiers with a job. The city has to be fed, powered, and defended.
Household
4/10
A team that functions as a household. The people back home are mostly a radio call.
Piety
3/10
Wonder at a gate. The ancients are a technology, not a god.
Courage
7/10
They go through. Showing up is the virtue the show actually has.
Republic
6/10
A crew under orders, arguing about the orders. A small polity.
Temperance
6/10
Sci-fi violence. Little of the sexual cruelty in the rows above it.
Truth
6/10
A problem has a mechanism. They would rather find it than vibe about it.
Stewardship
6/10
Skill and a post, handed from one commander to the next.
