Has anyone watched the last 2 episodes? cant say i liked 19 at all!

19 felt so horrible; it looked like a mix of csi and las vegas and then put together by pbs. Ep 20 wasn't bad, and was a pretty descent conclusion. when they killed ronan i was like WTF? really cheap kill off tactics. to only be even more disappointed by even cheaper regeneration tactics

It was horrible!

why didn't they jus send a nuke through the gate into the other ship once they figured out that the gate was connected to the super hive

I thought exactly the same thing... also why did they move the Ancient chair from the highly secure Antarctic base to an outbuilding in Area-51. It can't even have been underground if a Dart crash destroyed it.

A very poor end to a rather mediocre series. What a shame.

That was the weakest end, well maybe not THE weakest, to Stargate Atlantis that I could have hoped for.

From about midway through Season 5, things picked up and then they end with these two episodes. I will say that I bet they had

fun with the filming and it was a good finale shot :)

Here's to the continuation of the dream :D

Atlantis landing in San Francisco bay was awesome, as well as the Wormhole Drive (although that 2nd one is such a plot device)

I loved episode 19, with the csi alternate reality theme (although the csi filming effects got annoying sometimes) .. I really loved that they used snippets of songs in the episode; "The Beautiful People" - Marilyn Manson ; "Sympathy for the Devil" - The Rolling Stones

"Solitary Man" - Johnny Cash.

That was a great episode.

Now the finale.. It wasnt bad, but wasnt great.. It seemed very rushed and should have been a 2 episode deal. And just like SG1, I didn't like that in the finale there was a huge tech boost (asgard tech in sg1), and ZPM's for everyone in Atlantis (and the wormhole drive.. come on!) .. Also I agree, why the hell was earth so unproteched? (where are the ally ships and asgard tech they acquired?, and moving the platform from the ultra-secure antarctic to a shed in area 51 was just stupid, but whatever)

But in the end it worked well enough, and I am looking forward to an atlantis movie eventually. (I am very sad to see it go, hope the next stargate series can fill the void in the future)

It was a cop-out for a few reasons as other posters have already stated. While it "wrapped" up the series, it wasn't a fitting finale episode.

"All good things..." from ST:TNG <---- now THAT is a series finale :D

I thought "Unending" was a good series finale for SG1.

Not so sure about this one. I always figured Atlantis would end with Atlantis on earth, taking over for the SGC, though. Among other things, it fits in so nicely with the "1969" episode from SG1 season 2 (Why the SGC was seemingly abandoned.)

eh, i didn't like either of them. 'Vegas' was just bad, it seemed all the actors were just phoning it in, and Joe Flanigan was just the worst. Though 'Enemy at the Gate' was better, it seemed rushed and not well throught out worm-hole drive..wtf... Would have liked to seem more with the asgard, oh well, hope the Atlantis movies are better, and Universe is aswell

    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces.

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
