Best Atlantis episode ever!, 4 February 2008

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

In my opinion this is the best episode of Stargate Atlantis ever! Atlantis has been taken over by the Genii, a race of people that makes a very interesting enemy, as they are a lot less technologically advanced than the Atlantis expedition, but make up for their disadvantage with their cunning. They're also not pure evil like the Wraith or the Goa'uld, so their intentions are very understandable.

Most admirable of all is Shapperd's actions throughout this episode. He is hunted by the Genii as the only thing challenging them for control of Atlantis. At first I thought he would be go soft on the Genii, but he ends up killing several regiments of Genii soldiers even when he could have chosen to spare their lives, which would be the classical heroic thing to do. Thumbs up to the brilliant military mind of Colonel Shepperd!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

All in all, the series is great, the only annoying thing I see in this series is this "Teyla" character, I grant, she knows her way around, but her big mouth, and down right stupidity, caused Shepard's team lots of problems - - - Tactically speaking, and strategically as a soldier, I'd kick her out of my team - - - Her actions right from the start, are more liability then advantage - - - - but what can you expect from a woman in the spec ops team, where clod hard tactical decisions are more important then stupidity of emotions, that can lead to sever long run catastrophe - - - - the best example are her actions at the beginning of the series, in the part "Season 1, Episode 7: Underground" Where she tries to save a doomed man, thus leading to death of the soldier accompanying her, and alerting the whole ship to their presence, as the soldier had to shut that doomed man ( shooting him, leading to their discovery ) - - - - Suffice it to say, to me her character is annoying as hell, but hey every show has to have those too - - - - It is just a comment, not a criticism - - -

Teyla versus Sora, 7 June 2006

Author: (Kortian_Knight@hotmail.com) from United States

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

In a previous Stargate: Atlantis episode, entitled, "The Underground," the character Chief Cowan had described Sora as "a skilled fighter." Furthermore, in both that episode and the episode preceding this one, entitled, "The Storm," it was established that Sora, believing Teyla had killed her father in the episode "The Underground," was motivated by revenge, setting up a much-anticipated fight between the two women. However, when fight between Teyla and Sora eventually took place, I was less than impressed. In my opinion, as a martial arts practitioner, Sora did not conduct herself like "a skilled fighter" and was defeated by Teyla way too easily. Had Sora fought better, it would have also made Teyla look good to have triumphed over a more competent combatant.
