The fourth season of Stargate Atlantis is finally over. Doctor Beckett, who disappeared at the end of the third season, hurriedly returned to his soul in the penultimate episode of this season, and then disappeared again at the end.

I was still very excited when I watched the first three seasons. Anyway, SA is also the one I have watched, uh, the first and only American drama. Later, when David Tennant appeared in "Doctor Who", I ignored SA. Anyway, I finished watching everything, and the fourth season is far away. And there are no characters in SA that can fascinate me. My favorite scene is actually the scene of the city of Atlantis rising from the bottom of the sea and rushing out of the water in the opening episode, which is very exciting. Later, I even finished watching DW, and my mind almost completely shifted to classmate D and T. In fact, I think he looks very much like Huang Yaoming, at least his body is very similar. Of course, for dual fans like me, they even look alike, they are all fairies. Last year at Ming Ge's concert, as long as he was not singing, I kept staring at him and kept distracting. .

Back to SA. The fourth season is not as interesting as the first three seasons. There are few wonderful episodes, which can almost be called dull. Even so, I insisted on seeing the end, because DW was not coming out. . Finally, in the last episode, I focused my attention. It is worthwhile that I chased after the death from year to year. The design of this episode is that when Sheppard went through the Interstellar Gate and returned to the base, the wormhole split due to solar flare activity (I don’t know how this happened anyway, the transmission went wrong), so he did not return to the normal base. It was the city of Atlantis 48,000 years later, when Atlantis had become an uninhabited dead city, where he saw Mckay’s holographic image, this untouchable Mckay Tell him why he is here, he will go to sleep for about 700 years until the solar flare activity again appears exactly as it was 48,000 years ago, and send him back. Probably that's the case. I don't understand the theory of relativity. .

In fact, this kind of plot design is very common in science fiction dramas, and because there are few scenes and characters required, it is cost-effective. It is especially suitable for some actors when the schedule cannot be arranged. Such plot design is very necessary. of.

But I was still moved by the old-fashioned plot in this science fiction drama. What kind of concept is forty-eight thousand years? The city of Atlantis, which originally rose from the sea, is now located in a borderless desert. Sheppard, who is not aware of it, repeatedly asked Mckay, where is the big blue thing outside? And Mckay's holographic image told Sheppard, we died a long time ago, maybe you are the last human being. The red dust outside the city of Atlantis was flying, as if everything had turned to ashes. The sun of this galaxy is burning and aging rapidly. There is no cycle, no change, no beginning, no future, only the end. I remember where I saw it yesterday. Some people said that they liked a certain movie, but they actually liked the kind of doomsday in it (I can’t remember my memory is too bad. Anyway, the three words doomsday are correct. ). Actually, I didn't think of anything to like about the sense of doomsday, but every time I saw a long shot of time and space like this, I couldn't help but get excited. Especially desolate, especially magical, especially desperate, and especially beautiful, this is the whole impression that the doomsday gives me, or, if it gives me such an impression, it can be defined as the doomsday. The reason why I love the doomsday may be because of its absolute nothingness.

In the forty-five minutes of the plot, Mckay told Sheppard one after another the stories of his former partner. Because Sheppard failed to return to Atlantis, they did not find Teyla who was captured by Michale in time. Teyla died. Michale took her child and killed her. This child made his research project a success. , Began to invade every planet; Carter drove the spacecraft and died with the three Wraith motherships; Ronan died in order to destroy a laboratory in Michale; Atlantis was finally abandoned. And Dr. Mckay and Keller returned to the earth and got married. Keller was terminally ill and died one year after their marriage. For the rest of his life, Mckay has been studying how to change the timeline so that Sheppard, who came to forty-eight thousand years, can return to the correct time and space, so that everything that happened afterwards can be erased and restarted. Keller on the sick bed said to him, don't waste the rest of your life looking for things that don't exist. This sentence makes me very sad. What is there and what does not exist? These tragic things that have happened, they exist; if Mckay succeeds and Sheppard can return from 48,000 years later, then none of these will happen, and some other things will exist again. The previous existences are just some meaningless probability waves. They have no possibility of being forgotten, because they will not happen at all. For Sheppard in the abandoned city of Atlantis after 48,000 years, they existed again, at least at that moment, he knew they had indeed happened.

This is not humorous at all, this is sadness. When everything can be decomposed by science, and the direction of fate can be revisited, human feelings are undulating in the universe and stardust like water plants. Everything that has happened looks small and absurd, but it is also tragic, tall, and sometimes Awe-inspiring that never goes back. No matter how irresistible the destiny is, it is completely helpless, and the one that has to be abandoned will be abandoned without hesitation. The one that should be persisted is still unrelenting. At the time, the hardest choice is made; and even this irresistible can even be Reversal. After the reversal, all the previous things are nothingness, their choices remain the same, and what they insist on and abandon remains the same. Is this the meaning? Meaning born out of meaninglessness, truth found out of absurdity. This is why, in Doctor Who, Doctor chooses to save the earth and save mankind again and again. Even if he is the Lord of Time, he knows that the universe will be doomsday, and he also knows that there is no lack of silly and ridiculous things that mankind is doing now, but he must lay down his life to save it in times of crisis. What if it is desolate in the end? In the end it is desolate, but the present is still warm. This kind of warmth itself is noble, and existence itself is noble.

Later, the fate was reversed for granted, oh, there is a possibility of reversal in this episode. Sheppard has returned to Atlantis at the right time. The new plot is the fifth season. I hope it will end soon, because I want to know what happened afterwards, but most of the plot is really boring. . .
