So i bought Season one of Stargate Atlantis and have been watching that.

Tori Higginson plays Doctor Weir, the head of the Stargate Atlantis expedition.

And after watching her in that role i've been thinking that...

she could make a pretty decent Queen Hippolyta if there were ever a GOOD Wonder Woman movie.

She bears a good resemblance to how i think of that character .

And Doctor weir was a very level headed woman who was not afraid to stand up for herself.

That is pretty close to how i see Queen Hippolyta.
 
Stargate <333

And Dr. Weir, so sexy.
 
Funny - I'm streaming Stargate Atlantis on Hulu right now, trying to unwind to get some sleep. Next up, season 1, episode 14, "Sanctuary."

I'm watching SG-1 right now to do the same. Season 5, episode 9, "Between Two Fires"
 
I just stopped at the end of season 8 of SG-1 to get caught up on Atlantis, since they sync up in season 8.

On a side note, my wife would leave me in a heartbeat for Richard Dean Anderson, and she knows that I know. ;)

Higginson was good. During the end of season seven of Stargate SG1, they introduce Dr. Ware and had her played by some blonde actress who wasn't that great.

Higginson did the character much better, although I remember watching the first episode of Atlantis and wondering who she was because she look nothing like the we are in the SG one episodes

I recently been re-watching seasons one through five of Stargate SG one, and I've noticed that I don't remember most of it. Of course when those seasons were running I was between 7 and 11 years old. And when I was little I watched it mainly for the action.

Kind of like I first saw Topgun when I was nine and remembered to 12 minutes of fighters shooting missiles, and pulling insane maneuvers with those jet engines burning.

Only when I rewatch the movie when I was 17 did I appreciate the rest of it, and the Stargate series is really the same way.

I will say that Jewel Saite (I hope I have her name right) was a welcome addition later in the series, she's my favorite acidic actress, since firefly
 
Torri Higginson probably is an underrated actress... but she has a decent of a resume. I could buy into her as Queen Hippolyta (and several other characters along those lines, that sort of Greek mythology based character.)

Maybe so, but i still loved the way she stood up to that Senator Kinsey.

He was just a lot more than a jerk.

Jewel Staite

SG and SGA = luckiest 4 people from 2 galaxies. How many times were they brought back from the dead again? each? Sigh.
SGU was darker and slightly more realistic and had Robert Carlyle.

That was how they threw in a political message, out and out scumbag.

I wish William Devane made more appearances as the president though.
For the first 6 seasons of the show the president was just "the president" you never saw him or knew his name. I liked it when the president became a real character.

Which is why I hated SGU.

I want to watch programs with a happy ending. It's called fiction for a reason
