Stargate Atlantis - Season 4
Review date: 2008-05-16 Rating: 8 out of 10
I know this DVD isn't out yet, so I can't comment on the DVD itself, but I can comment on the series.
I started watching Stargate Atlantis before I started watching Stargate SG-1, and now I am up to season 6 of SG-1. Season 4 of SGA is overall very good, with fantastic episodes like Be All My Sins Remember'd and Midway, and seemingly pointless and bad episodes like Trio and Quarantine.
This season brings back most of the old characters, but has Col. Samantha Carter from SG-1 replacing Dr. Weir as the Expedition Leader of Atlantis. The overall story is the continuation and the eventually conclusion (sort off) of the Replicator storyline. Other storylines include Michael and Teylas pregnancy. Replicators and pregnancys I can live with, but seriously, the Michael should have ended at the beggining of season 3, with the Daedalus bombarding the planet with all of the human Wraiths on. Now, they have over done it majorly with Michael trying to create an army of superhumans, and Teylas baby is the key. The last few episodes are about this stoyline, and I just hope that after the first episode of season 5 they kill off this storyline for good.
Yes, some episodes and storylines are bad, but others are absolutly fantastic. Here is my full episode rating for the season.
Adrift (part 2) - 9/10
Lifeline (part 3) - 9/10
Reunion - 7/10
Doppelganger - 6/10
Travelers - 10/10!!!
Tabula Rasa - 9/10
Missing - 8/10
This Mortal Coil (part 1) - 7/10
Be All My Sins Remember'd (part 2) - 10/10!!!
Spoils of War (part 3) - 8/10
Quarantine - 4/10
Harmony - 6/10
Outcast - 7/10
Trio - 3/10
Midway - 9/10
The Kindred (part 1) - 7/10
The Kindred (part 2) - 7/10
The Last Man (part 1) -9/10
Overall, I think season 4 was great and I will probably buy the DVD after I eventually get round to buying season 3.
Can't wait for season 5!
