New Stargate Atlantis ad featuring Sheppard

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] pfyre for loading it to YouTube!

Yes, this is the second in the series of "Characters You Love" ads for STargate Atlantis. The first featured McKay, this one features Sheppard.

LOL! I don't know quite what makes this funny - perhaps the 'this is Lt Col Sheppard' followed by 'oh crap' - or the 'piece of cake' bit and the 'look good doing it' bit?!! Whatever, I liked!

So, Ronon and Teyla next? One can hope they do all the team...

Y'know...the vid is great and thanks for putting it up a Pfyre for loading it on Youtube...but...

Does anyone else feel that it's kind of in poor taste on the part of Sci-fi to run ads with the tag 'The Character You Love' for a show they've just CANNED. Possibly on account of The Characters You Love being too old? Maybe they should have said 'The Characters You Love, But, You Know, Not Enough For Us To Keep Them On'? Or 'The Characters You Love Against All Our Marketing Logic and Despite Them Not Fitting In To Our Chosen Demographic'?

Am I mental for being so insulted? I mean, I have also taken the severely cut down opening Credits as a personal insult too - Show's being canned, who cares whose in it? So maybe I'm a bit over sensitive?

Still, Shep...so, very, very handsome.

Thanks for the vid. My favorite character of SGA. I love it. And he is soo hot(and he is over 40, info for MGM and the rest). But why they showed McKay first. Sheppard is the leader and first man, so he deserves the first place. Yes here speaks one of the JF-thunker, sorry.

And watching this vid, always the same question, why in the hell did they cancel this great show?

To speak with Lt.Col.Sheppards words: Crap!!

Awesome, thanks for putting it up :D I look forward to Ronon's if they do one!

Thanks for posting this ad, I had not yet seen it and have been waiting and waiting and waiting to see it, but I'm with [livejournal.com profile] roxy_palace
Everytime I see these ads, I what to yell at the TV, "yeah but they canceled the show!" Why are they starting these ads now, they should had started them a long time ago!

I think SciFi would have been happy to have another season of Atlantis.
So I kind of feel they are poking MGM in the eye by doing these kind of advertisements.
And they ARE the characters I love....

did you see that they now have a woolsey ad, too? funny one.

ummm, did anyone else think it funny that on the sheppard ad, where the voice over is talking about his bravery, the video has him yelling, "move, move", and then he and ronon run away?
