Re: Stargate Atlantis, 'The Return' parts 1 and 2 and the decreasing quality of the show.

It's been years since I watched it, but I remember the third season of Stargate Atlantis should have been where the show had started shifting gears and done with its base premise that DS9 never did and that is start to branch out into the Pegasus Galaxy and build an alliance capable of beating back ...

Re: The War Prayer (B5)

Starting a fight, no matter the reason, always spreads aggression. Not opposing it in a constructive manner establishes it as a valid way of accomplishing goals, and spreads more aggression.
