Well, I watched Atlantis last night. Very watchable, but I completely failed to spot the brilliance others have been enthusing over. TBH it looked like the SG-1 format copied exactly, with new goodie and new baddie characters taking over from the SG-1 team and the goa'ould (sp?). All with a little of the Star Trek:Voyager/Quantum Leap/Dungeons and Dragons/Battlestar Galactica/(insert your favourite 'will they ever find what they're looking for?' TV series here) thrown in for good measure.

I'll definitely be watching it to see how it develops, but if it's going to hold my attention it's going to have to break out of the seven-year-old format before it gets tired.
