Pass it on
Stargate Atlantis
56Watch it awake.
A crew, a post, and a problem every week. Competent adventure. Not a moral education, and not a waste.
The review
Atlantis is the cleaner neighbor of the Sunday storefront: people who are good at something, far from home, trying not to wreck the people they meet or the city they were given. It will not teach a thirteen-year-old how to live. It will not teach him that hell is a musical or that a stepbrother is a plot. On this particular morning that is a relative good.
Fine for a teen who likes a team. Prefer the episodes where the argument is whether the powerful thing should be used at all.
Journal
Keep Stargate Atlantis in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.
The glance
Household and Piety are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
VisionQuest
63 instead of 56
VisionQuest is still a science fiction show, and it scores 63 instead of 56. What you gain is piety: The argument of the series is whether a soul can be real in a body someone built.
The eight
- 7Industry
Scientists and soldiers with a job. The city has to be fed, powered, and defended.
- 4Household
A team that functions as a household. The people back home are mostly a radio call.
- 3Piety
Wonder at a gate. The ancients are a technology, not a god.
- 7Courage
They go through. Showing up is the virtue the show actually has.
- 6Republic
A crew under orders, arguing about the orders. A small polity.
- 6Temperance
Sci-fi violence. Little of the sexual cruelty in the rows above it.
- 6Truth
A problem has a mechanism. They would rather find it than vibe about it.
- 6Stewardship
Skill and a post, handed from one commander to the next.
