Transcript/screencaps: Stargate Atlantis season 4 sneak peek

[wraithfodder]

Fans expecting a HUGE sneak peek ad should take a slug of whiskey before opening up the spoiler tag below. ( I say this because it seems many fans were expecting a montage of scenes, fast action clips, etc.)

First , SciFi voiceover: "And now, an exclusive sneak peek at the new season of Stargate Atlantis" and a few clips from the previous SciFi ad - of Carter and Sheppard, Keller, Rodney... then segue to NEW scene.

Open with a scene of Sheppard, Ronon (behind Sheppard),  Rodney and Weir (in front passenger seat) in a jumper

Sheppard (at helm): "Rodney, ready?
Rodney (in back): "Did I mention that this might not work? And that we could either drop out of hyperspace prematurely and end up stranded in the middle of deep space, or quite possibly be vaporized the moment I touch that-"
Ronon (in back seat, snarls): "Just answer the damn question!"
Rodney (quiet): "Yeah, I'm ready."

Voiceover (using second season team-slogging-through-water sequence): "Stargate Atlantis returns Friday, September 28th at nine, part of the all new SciFi Friday, brought to you by Subway. Eat fresh."


Pros: We got to see a scene from season 4, albeit a very brief one.
Cons: We saw a very brief snippet, and I dare say fans were hoping (nay, I say expecting) a nice 30-second (or maybe even 20 seconds) of various clips from various episodes. Total time (including front and end promoting Subway and maybe fans should write Subway to say "thanks' for supporting the show): 30 seconds.

but, here are some caps!

From a previous commercial:









NEW SHOTS:




















Okay, when I see this picture, all I can picture is Sheppard and Ronon wrinkling up their noses and going "who farted?" ;)

NOTE: Fans have theorized this scene is from the episode "Lifeline."

UPDATE: A fan has loaded up the ad at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1BoKTbQ43c

That was a quick capping job. Thanks for posting the pics and transcript. Raises hand, I was expecting a trailer ala a movie trailer with lots of clips, action and dialog. I am happy they showed something with SGA. I hope Sci Fi keeps pimping the show all summer long, so if it takes short little clips, I'm down with it. Good idea to thank the advertisers, after all money/advertising revenue is what drives the network. So does anyone have the info for contacting Subway? Thanks for the post, Elyse.

*grumble grumble* That's disappointing. Thank you for the summary though, and for the screencaps! :)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Huh. That really wasn't what I was expecting...

They really need to film new stock footage of the cast...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Considering my primitive version of capping (aim camera at tv, take picture, transfer pics to PC, shrink 'em, load 'em to photobucket, copy URLs to LJ), yeah, it was quick ;)

Well, found Subway's site - http://www.subway.com/subwayroot/Applications/CustServ/frmAskUs.aspx seems to be the link to send general comments.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heck, I volunteer to buy a digital camcorder (preferably nothing expensive) and fly out to Vancouver and spend a day with the cast and film them for a new ad :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was like, uh uh, that's it? Or maybe I said some words I really won't repeat here. Darn. I was sitting here hoping to screencap tons of action stuff. Shoot.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

This is pretty much the same way I feel about the usually awful promo pics. If they really have that much of a problem getting decent pics of the cast, I have no problem hauling my SLR and my ass over to Vancouver to do it.

[vecturist.livejournal.com]

Hmm, auction idea - bid on a chance to do the cast promo pics. I'd certainly be putting everything I own on ebay for the chance, but I'm not sure how suitable the pics would be for the general public - the guys would losing their shirts for starters...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, I think there would be a long long line of fans waiting to go up there with all their photographic equipment (and some are good photographers too) willing to do it for free ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Why, that would probably appeal to Skiffy - no shirts, cheaper budget as there's no costume costs involved ;)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Now I have the proper kit, I'm taking good pics again...

God, the last couple of cons/events I've been to, I took awful pics battling with that old camera.

Me and a friend of mine used to have a side business taking unofficial concert photography...possibly the worst picture taking ever.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

*gigglesnort*

Why stop at shirts? (I can't believe I typed 'shorts' originally... :oD) We could get Calvin Klein to sponsor it... *whistles*

[jackfan2.livejournal.com]

"Lifeline"?

Um.. anyone know the premise for that episode? Weir and John are together and that's what matters to me most, especially given what I already know spoilerishly for season 4 *sniffles*

If you know but don't wanna post for fear of spoilering someone here on this flist, you could just email me (jmskitche at yahoo dot com)

[jackfan2.livejournal.com]

Oh, forgot to mention something, there's a longish trailer for season 4 of SGA on Youtube. Dangit.. I didn't save the link, but if you search Stargate Atlantis, I'm sure it's none to difficult to find.

It's really got some good stuff!

[veracity]

I saw that and both miriel and I were like "That's it?!" It was like a recap from any given episode since Ronon joined. Didn't particularly make it all special like. I expecting something a little bit more bang, to get the fans excited. I sat through a show I don't like to see that. *sighs*

But wasn't that Nykl that was going to be on next week? Hey, I'll looking for the positive here.

[d_odyssey.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the info. I will shoot them off a "thank you" e-mail.

[xfkirsten.livejournal.com]

*sigh* At least Elizabeth made it in there!

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

But wasn't that Nykl that was going to be on next week? Hey, I'll looking for the positive here.

Next week? Squee!!!!

[veracity]

I can't be for sure, I'm afraid. I just saw a tuft of hair and heard the voice real quick. Someone else might have to confirm/deny. Usually I can pinpoint voices, though. It's how I identify most people on television when I'm just listening and not watching it.

[rocksalted.livejournal.com]

Well that was... not exciting at all... at least we got some Rodney/Ronon interaction! ^.^

[sgafan33.livejournal.com]

Looks like Ronon has new clothes. Well, if John and Rodney have new uniforms, I guess Ronon can spring for some new duds. If it were up to Jason, he'd probably opt for a new outfit every episode.

And Carter has longer hair. Wow.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was David Nykl in next week's EUREKA! :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ooh, there's an idea ;)

[angw.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting :)

[hollycole1.livejournal.com]

Thanks for doing the caps. I wonder if this will be shown in england.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Fangirls would love it, and Skiffy ADORES sponsorship...

[salamas.livejournal.com]

Yay! Caps! Thanks for them! :) I totally agree with you on the last one. :D

[veracity]

The things I do for people I enjoy...another week of Eureka. Do I get a medal? ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You can catch it on YouTube at

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ah, it's not so bad. Now, if you had to watch ECW.... ;)

[veracity]

But, but...I paid my dues! I watched last season. Wasn't that sacrifice enough? *sigh* Well, at least it's not Hollow Man or something.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh. No no, sacrifice is watching ECW in the vain hope they'll show an SGA ad. I did that once, but turned off the sound. Gah, don't know how people watch it but they do (ECW).

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup :)

[veracity]

Even if I was a fan of the genre, I couldn't watch the ECW. I'm from Atlanta. After the wrestler dude killed his family and then him, sooo over it. So, so over it. I find that if you mute the television 75% of the time, it's far more interesting since you can make up the scripts yourself.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

You're welcome :)
