Questions for Stargate Atlantis fans

[schmevil]

Why does the Stargate program remain classified? Has this been satisfactorily explained in the show?

Don't the people of earth have a right to know about the alien invasions that seem to happen every week?

And what's with the replicators on earth thing? I mean seriously - why would you spend all that money to develop nano-soldiers when it's so much cheaper to hire some mercs? I don't get it! The writers could have come up with a much more plausible explanation for earth-based nano-experimentation. But T2 there didn't make a whole lot of practical sense.

And finally, how the hell is Ronan so damned pretty!?!

I bailed after the first episode! I'll probably be willing to try it again later, after a comforting buffer zone of some new BSG. ;) As long as there are ramifications, and consequences for their actions, then I might give it a second chance. Just... not yet. *g*

(I think part of the reason why it annoyed me so is that I'd really liked all the characters up to that point. Particularly McKay.)

SGA is one of the best shows I've seen that deals with the moral implications and ramifications of the decisions they make. Even in the middle of Critical Mass they all statement up front that they had crossed a line and there was no going back from it.

And those tiny decisions that they make to achieve short-term success always ALWAYS tends to come back and bite them. Michael's genetic manipulation, the reactivation of the Replicators, the waking of the Wraith...then a week, a month, a year or two or three later these huge problems that have to deal with is discovered to be traced back to these tiny little problems they tried to correct in the past.

What's interesting is they pay for those mistakes with lives of those they hold dearest. John, Rodney, Elizabeth, Carson, they've all paid the price for the decisions their friends made (sometimes with their lives). I just...I love that about SGA. They screw-up and then have to deal with the fall-out and it's never over. They just have to keep paying for it.
