New Stargate Atlantis promo shot

[wraithfodder]

First, visit this LJ for the humongous version of this photo. You should, cuz then you can see PoP (Perils of Photoshopping)... ;) 



Excuse me while I just, er, nitpick...  Ronon? Wow, he's cornered the market on black leather, but at least it won't get full of holes. Teyla... not bad, but can she breathe? Sure is tight. Woolsey will die of cancer later on due to the incredible saturation of Scotchguard on his uniform. Sheppard looks good but his face is sorta so either he's been to a spa or he's possessed by an alien. McKay? Bug up his butt. I mean, sorry, grr, snarl, geez, he's in a bad mood. Maybe it's the photoshopping job ;)  And why is his jacket so wet when others aren't? Keller, well, looks asleep.  And oh wait, wait, I know where they took his shot! In one of those gushing fountains in Las Vegas! ;)

Sarcastic snark rant off ;)

You forgot to comment on the gate... =)

I actually like it. It's bit step up from the other promo pics.

Y HALO THAR TEYLA'S BOOBIES ;)

Wonder if they realized the "floating" was so obvious in previous pictures, they decided it would be perfect to use a water effect to cover it up?

lol, the girls are kinda wet too but but not rodney, who looks more like 'wtf?' and omg the photoshop on teyla! what a tragady, she is so much prettier that that! and i have no idea what is going with either Keller or Ronon's hair :S

[justhere1971.livejournal.com]

The females in the photo have sprinkles of water as well. They must have frolicked in it. :P Shep looks p'od. Why is Rodney so angry? Did they give key lime pie or something? Teyla can't possibly be able to breathe.

[reiko-afterglow.livejournal.com]

My eyes! Poor Teyla can't breathe in that outfit, and by all means one would think she could be anorexic. Ronon, John and Rodney - all looking PO'd, and for good reason.

I won't even nitpick. It looks just as horrible as the last ... and this was meant to be a manipulation.

*snort*

If we have so much laughter & fun with the "promo" imagine what we'll have with the "real" show, eh ?? :P

If I should give a number to the poke-in-my-eyes errors, firstly prolly the gate... then Woolsey cloths, then John's.

Let's not even bother with Teyla's boobies-ness..it's obvious the makers is an immature fan-boy who keep Victoria's Secret catalogs on his desk, Teyla & Keller look like Heidi Klum

Well, compared to the others, it's not that bad... Still I wonder if that's actually Rachel's body or did they photoshop her head on another body. If it is her, I want her trainer, given what generally happens to the female body post-baby.

And I thought last year's pictures were bad. They all look like they came out of America's Next Top Model, with the exceptions of Sheppard and McKay who just look possessed. Or homicidal.

Why can't Woolsey get a badass leather outfit? Is he not young and hip enough to dress like the cool kids?

[belisse.livejournal.com]

Why is everyone tight as hell, except for Shep...

Well Ronon is not on tight clothes but still he's covered in leather. And yes... everyone look as if the man behind the camera is eating the last package of Chips Ahoy in Atlantis.

And is way better than those first pics with floating people... no great but is not *AAAarrrgh!! my eyeeeessss*

[k8t85.livejournal.com]

Hey it's an improvement; at least they aren't floating anymore. I actually kinda like the fierceness of this pic. I wish Shep was in leather, I loved his outfit in CG.

[flingslass.livejournal.com]

But Teyla's boobies have a life of their own!

[strange-magic.livejournal.com]

I love how no one's wet, lol.

I take that back... I just saw the huge pic.

Now my thought is... I love how only Teyla, Rodney and Jen are wet and John, Ronon and Woolsey aren't.

And since we've all seen that pic of Woolsey and John before, do they not think we would notice them mashing old an new pics together. AND WHY ISN'T EVERYONE WET? What's the point of a few sprinkles on half the cast?

These people should be fired. I can do better.

[lelianamckay.livejournal.com]

Kinda looks like a shampoo commercial (except Woolsey shouldn't be here!lol)
Does this means they will all take a shower together this season? huh?
This is so weird but better than them floating on the steps of the Gateroom shadowless.

[squonk79.livejournal.com]

Good gravy - that's a pretty horrendous piccie. They seem to surpass themselves each year, but unfortunately in the wrong way!

And using the Milky Way gate?! Aw, c'mon, there's no excuse for that!

[chensuu.livejournal.com]

I have to say I like it. I've never seen that pic of Sheppard before so all the poses are new to me. And I like John's expression. Someone described it as fierce and I think that's apt. And when you look at the humongous version you can see that Teyla, McKay and Keller have wet leather and that the top of John's hair is wet. I guess I'm not hard to please, especially after the previous horrors!

[nakedwesley.livejournal.com]

*whine* Why couldn't Sheppard be in hot leather too? Did Joe have that black shirt super-glued to his body or what?

Maybe Joe has it in is contract: no water sprinkles on meeee because I'm the star and it might mess up my hair!

(love McKay's bad ass stubble. Wonder if they photoshopped that in)

[veronicasaether.livejournal.com]

Keller looks like she's surfing. :P

[kaliweir.livejournal.com]

Thanks, this photo is really great. Better that others photos.

[ainaria.livejournal.com]

Wow. :D
Did they 'shop Teyla's boobs bigger? Kinda looks like they did.

[the-other-sandy.livejournal.com]

Not at all convinced that that's Rachel's body, but at least this body double is closer to her actual body type than the twig they were using last season.

What is it about that grey uniform that makes Woolsey look so effeminate to me? It's the same uniform the other male civilians wear, and yet when I see it on Woolsey, he looks like he's wearing the women's uniform.

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

So now they're not floating, they're drowning in fake sea foam....
But, YAY - they can use Teyla's boobies as life preservers!
I think this picture is just as bad as the others, just in a more subtle, hinky way.
The only one who looks good is Shep, good thing he's in the front.

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

Why do they look so "un-natural"? Oh, that must be the photoshop manips. Why do they not just use the original pics or even better, a proper group pic? Meh....it just does not look natural.

[berry-hearts.livejournal.com]

dude, all they need to do is get the four six of them in front of the damn gate in the gate room, say something like "SMIRK"
and then use that for everything. or even Woolsey at Weir/Sam's desk and have the others glare at him. I think they try to make the show dark when i normally find it amusing.

this picture is horrible, i have no idea why they would have water exploding from their feet. there is nothing good about these photoshopped ugly messes. i always prefer ones where they take a group picture.


and HELLO? WRONG STARGATE!
