    Funny thing is I don't like any of those series for that exact reason. If it gets repetitive then whats the point of watching?


    Rarely happens? I think you were watching a different series because it happened nearly EVERY episode.

    Also, the whole idea that the Goa'uld were anywhere near a threat is just stupid. I mean they got on board their ships how many times? Also anyone mind explaining to me what the hell they were doing with such crummy gear? I mean their supposed to be an advanced secret under ground taskforce designed to save the world right? Then why are they still using flash lights? They can afford those malps and to build a giant space ship, but they can't afford night vision?

    So what do you watch? I hope you list more than one or two shows or else you really don't have much room to criticize. Alomst every TV series is repetitive in some fashion which is why it is a series at all, and the rare exceptions to this are a specific class of drama (West Wing and Studio 60 come to mind here) or are a mini series with a predetermined end which makes it more like a long movie than anything else.

    There are lots of good reasons to criticize a lot of different TV shows, being generally repetitive isn't one of them, if it is then you are pretty saying you don't TV series in general. Which if that is the case that's fine but just say it and don't try and force your views, which are derived from a general opinion of TV, on other as a specific reason a show is bad.

    They do have night vision, Jshep. Epic fail. They even use it in the very first episode of Atlantis. And of course they get on those enemy ships often. They can teleport, ffs.

    Also, those ships they have would just be floating metal boxes without the alien tech. They aren't advanced because of human tech, but because races such as the Asgard helped the humans. Again: fail. You didn't watch a lot of episodes.

    As for the MALP: how is it high tech? It's a freaking camera, strapped to a remote controlled car. Never seen a camera before? As for the air analysing thing: those can even be found alongside the road in industrial areas. Seriously. Analyzing air pollution and such isn't that sci-fi as you might think.

    So in the future, please, please watch a show properly before bashing it. There are plenty of people who enjoy watching it, and who know enough to make you look like a fool. I'm sure that you aren't one, so please don't act like you are one.

    ---

    As for Universe: any ideas if there might be a main villain? Those episode names don't really give away much. :/

    One last thing, before I forget about it again. In the episode with the dimension shifting ship, is that enemy ship a little joke or something? It's like, a cameo of the borg in some way.

    Im not sure, and I don't want to know until that episode. Im not even watching previews or reading about any episodes. I want to be as surprised as possible..

    I also noticed that, im sure they just kinda ran out of ideas and threw whatever in there.
    It was an ok episode Ill give it that but some of the enemy ideas are retarded..

    actually the episode Aurora is referring to is from SGA, S5 E17 if i remember correctly "prometheus variations" (doing this from the top of my head)

    And i wasnt really sure about those villains as well, i would say tribute to the Borg, except that the ships were totally different

    Indeed. Prometheus Variations. The weapons of those ships were borg-ish, though.

    I loved to see McKay panicing in that episode. He was all like, "but even I couldn't figure it out! Twice!" So awesome.

    What I'm saying is they get on board enemy ships so many times yet they never think about maybe carrying a small nuclear warhead on board to maybe blow up the ship the enemy leader is on? Also the MALP is high tech because it can travel across the galaxy yet still be able to receive signals from the remote control. As for the human ships I didn't even mention those please learn to read posts before you try and make any counter arguments against it. Also, so they used night vision in one episode? OO wow how amazing... They got it right once? Not for any of the hundred episodes before?

    Because they usually travel to other planets when it's daytime there. Why carry around nightvision with you all the time? Seems like a stupid thing to do.

    Further, it's freaking radio controlled. You bash the MALP thing for being high tech, just because it can send and receive radiowaves? How high tech! Let's bash their radios as well. Further, the Gate makes stuff travel. The MALP only moves a couple of feet. ;p

    As for the nuke thing: why? They are on the ship. There's no chopper to get them out quickly. Haha. And if you have actually watched Atlantis properly: they've beamed plenty of nukes aboard Wraith Hives and Cruisers while no humans were on it.

    Edit:

    Almost forgot about the space ships. You did say that the humans build it, and that they could afford it. All they did was build a metal box and put some computers in it. The Asgard pretty much gave them all the parts for free. Like they care for human currency. xD

    Lastly, they aren't a "secret underground taskforce designed to save the world". It's the freaking Atlantis expidition. The original goal of the SG team in the movie that started it all was to explore what was on the other side. And if I remember correctly, they were to avoid any hostilities whenever possible.

    Watch the show before telling me that my arguments are no good.
