Given the place Atlantis ended up in at the end of the ep, did someone (and by 'someone' I mean a character in the ep, not TPTB) mention/hint on if they will stay there - or in the "neighborhood", so to speak - or if they plan on going back?
>>I think any stories that build off EatG will have to have some kind of breakaway premise; Atlantis-on-Earth scenarios just feel flat and stagnant. <<
Absolutely. "Flat and stagnant" - that's the wording I couldn't think of but expresses *exactly* how I feel about it. :-)
>>Ah, you're thinking movie!
Yeah, that's why I left the comment in his blog. He's the one writing the script.
>>I have no fears; fanficcers are much better at that than TPTB.
That's pretty much a given. *g* The fanfic authors out there don't need any advice, they know what to do and it's only a question of time until the fix-it-stories will make an appearance. I have absolute faith in the fanficcers. *g* It's the "professionals" who can't see what's in front of their nose and can't be trusted to recognize a good idea even if it's biting them in the backside. *ggg*
>>He didn't mean to do it, but that's beside the point.
In this contex: When they met Ronon the Atlantis expedition had been in Pegasus for roughly a year and Ronon was a runner for seven years at this point. Since he didn't know about the complete destruction of his homeworld at this point but was made a runner when he was caught while fighting this war, it means that the devastating end of the war against the Wraith on Sateda took place at least a short time after he was made a runner = max. six years before the Atlantis-expedition arrived. Which makes it perfectly clear that, even if it wasn't the whole species of the Wraith that was awake, it was a number big enough to bring complete destruction over the civilization of a whole planet.
Not exactly peaceful times, even before the expedition arrived. But, of course, that doesn't change the fact that Shep woke up the whole of the race unintentionally, leading to all those consequences and the responsibilities.
>>they need to be there to help in the fight.
Exactly what I think, yes.
>>Since I'm looking to the fanfic instead of the movie, I think I won't be disappointed. You, on the other hand, may not be so lucky.<<
*LOL* Oh, no, I don't actually *expect* Mallozzi & Co to be sensible enough to write that scenario. They're going to stuck to a "At the bottom line Earth is in command of Atlantis and they're going to fight Earth' enemies - possibly the Wraith but perhaps also a different one ust for the special effects"-route. No, I won't be disappointed because, frankly, I would be *surprised* if they'd go the route we would like to see. But it'll nice to have new pics, scenes and visuals to use. ;-)
The fanficcer OTOH - I have complete faith in them. *G* There will be enough "Back to Pegasus"-stories out there, given the time for it. I think if we're silent enough we can already hear the busy typing. ;-)
>>I enjoy shows despite what TPTB showed us (
Ah, *LOL*, yes, I can see that. It happens to me as well often enough. ;-) But sometimes we get actual gems, like "The Shrine". :-)
>>Basically, I've used 600+ words to say, "I agree with your comment."
*giggle* And how eloquently you did that. :-) Thanks for the long comment, I really enjoyed it.
