Ruminations on TV Shows, Comics, And Music
Sci-fi shows use tropes to varying levels of success. Stargate nails almost every one they touch. We've had some time loops, we've had the ascension of militarism, we've had heroes becoming cloned or manipulated into villainy, being trapped on planets, etc. In this season, we have a few wonderful tropes, my favorite being the many many many variations of Carter and the crew in "Ripple Effect" and the body switch in "Crusade." Season five began what I think is the best era of the show. Instead of bunch of loosely connected threads with one major enemy, the seasons became focused mainly on one story. In this season, the Ori war gets severe, and Atlantis sees the return of an SG1 threat that was believed eradicated. Season Six: |
