New Obsession- Stargate Atlantis TV Show
All 4 of us ( kids + me) stated watching a new show about a month ago, I am not sure when the habit started- maybe 3 years ago but my daughters and I started watching shows from beginning to end. We got DVD’s from the library and were able to watch all kids of shows - commercial free. We watch pretty much all the little House on The Prairie episodes, All the Full Houses ( a LONG few months for me ! ) and most recently we are in season 4 of Stargate Atlantis. I was quite surprised when my 4 year old son who jumped right in and is now watching along with us. I think of us all he is enjoying the most. He loved Ronin, Colonel Sheppard and Rodney ( Dr. McKay). he balled when a major character died recently.
I myself and quite petrified of the Wraith- horrible life sucking creatures. The show is made in Canada and one of the main characters, Rodney is fodder for hilarious inside jokes for Canadians. Recently he made reference to Particpaction and I just about cried laughing and wish another adult was there t appreciate the inside joke.
The show can be a bot hokey- and probably too scary fro MOST 4 year olds but we are loving it. Watching Stargate Atlantis is now a nightly ritual for us.
