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! :)

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

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

[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...

"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)

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!

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.

*sigh* At least Elizabeth made it in there!

[rocksalted.livejournal.com]

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

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.

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

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