Oh, Atlantis...

[meganbmoore]

Have started season 2 of Stargate: Atlantis.  This slightly-paraphrased exchange kind of sums up most of the show's issues:

Elizabeth: "We’re so glad you’re here and blowing things up in the safety of your Asgard-protected spaceship. Listen, our city is being overrun by alien vampires trying to eat us, do you think you could spare a couple men to help us with that?"

Captain: "Don’t worry your silly little head about that. Let us men take care of the important stuff, and I’ll send someone to step on that cockroach you’re so scared of later, ok?"

Remind me why I endure this again?  Oh yeah, Teyla.  And Elizabeth when they aren't being ruled by their fear of a woman in charge.

Sheppard is remarkably good at not learning anything from any of his poorer choices; of course, the show doesn't really ever see them as wrong because they always pay off by some magic that probably has to do with him being a guy.

An all American, white, military guy, at that.

And the really embarrassing thing is that I have watched every episode of this show. And will probably watch again when it restarts.

HELP ME. PLEASE.

I CANNOT HELP YOU BECAUSE I HAVE FALLEN INTO THE SAME TRAP!

I must send you the Bollywood so that you have something else to watch. Save yourself! It's too late for me!
