I really, really think Stargate: Atlantis is subversive in exactly the right way. I laugh, I really do, when I read people's rants about how stupid they are about common-sense policy towards securing the city and dealing with other cultures because real life policy is so much more screwed up than that. It makes people uncomfortable to watch things like "Michael" when hi, Tuskegee Airmen experiments.
I wholeheartedly agree with you about that. (I'm exhausted debating the other points! - see above)It's one of the things I love about Atlantis. It's actually far more real life than we've seen in SG1. It uses a sci fi scenario to highlight something that exists in RL, but a lot of people would rather deny. The scene in "seige" when Sheppard shot the Wraith with Ford and teyla not knowing whetehr to stop him or not? can anyone say Abu Grahib?
