Owl at Home posted:When did Atlantis get spun off from SG1? Season six, seven? I recall watching new episodes back to back for quite a while when they were on the air, but I remember a lot more stuff from SG1 than Atlantis. Probably because of reruns Atlantis proceeds directly from the events of the season 7 finale, "The Lost City", and was produced and aired concurrently with SG-1 while they were both airing.

pixaal posted:Wait until the season where he literally phoned in his lines (he wanted to be with his family) I don't really blame him. He starred/produced the show for 7 years, and then had lots of tv filming previously. Filming 22-23 episode TV shows sounds brutal. Long days, tight deadlines, etc So RDA wanted to ease out of the show and focus on his new daughter, which he did. He never gave up on the show though, making appearances here and there.

The logical thing to do would be to make him essentially the General Hammond on the show who is a main cast member but in a more limited capacity and not necessarily even in all episodes. Or on the joint chief of staffs for SGC as a military branch, appearing via video.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I gotta say in the finale of season 2 and the opener or season 3 Richard Dean Anderson seemed checked the gently caress out. Like about to be implanted with a Goa'uld the only emotion I could read from him was mild annoyance like "I wasn't even supposed to be here today". I mean, to be fair, it was a lovely 2 parter. Dude's body was literally falling apart, his IRL knee surgery was written into the show, all the times he was in the infirmary was no doubt "oh gently caress RDA can't walk this week, let's have a episode about the other 3"

I like the part in the flashback where Hathor takes off her bra to reveal a smaller more humorous bra underneath, makes me laugh every time. I also like when the T'okra has like two death scenes and then wakes up a third time and is like "Oh I guess I'm not dying nevermind"

Almost done with SGA. I like it, it is not as good as SG1 but it’s great for what it is. I feel like it was just gearing up, too. I am apprehensive about Universe, largely because no one ever talks about it.

I mean I remember really liking it at the time, if only because I loved watching Robert Carlyle tearing it up. But then the fact that it gets cancelled at the exact moment it's finding itself really stings.

I can't speak for the second season. It has none of the fun adventure vibes of SG1 and SGA and instead went for gritty BSG vibes because that's what was popular at the time. The change in tone was really jarring, almost comical. It was like that teen parody version of Stargate they did in episode 200 except for real.

The fellow he replaces seems like a huge wimp despite being a tough guy in the story. He’s out pretty quickly and had a fun arc as a guest star. They soon figure out the show is best when it’s just Hanging With The Boys. That’s when you get stuff like playing golf into the sea, RC cars, fishing and the weird video game episode. Impressive commitment to making the Wraith really unapologetically evil. There’s not a dissenter. They’re just bad for humanity. The Genii are also dickheads but their arc really petered out. A sixth season really would’ve been worthwhile.

If people wanted to watch a young adult sci-fi drama about teens stranded in space they wouldn't have cancelled Hypernauts. Remember Hypernauts? The kids had mechs they drove occasionally and it kinda looked like Babylon 5.

I remember stumbling across Stargate Infinity while flipping through channels in the wee hours of the morning like 'WTF is this? There's a Stargate cartoon??' In the early aughts there wasn't a comprehensive wiki for everything in existence yet, so even when I tried to look it up online later there was basically no info on it at all.

Loved that episode with Katana, a Goa'uld posing as a Free Jaffa leader. But it feels like Teal'c should have faced some consequences from the SGC. Or, maybe? He disobeyed O'Neill pretty directly. Maybe it can all be hand waved as "Jaffa" stuff, because there's certainly other times too.

redshirt posted:Mild spoilers there is a future clip show that features clips from a previous clip show, and dog gone, I love it. which one also it is always funny how MGM and Sci-Fi just... completely killed the franchise. Like holy poo poo, has there ever been a deep dive into what happened? They grew this from a cheap low budget Showtime throw-away show carried entirely by Richard Dean Anderson's charisma into supplanting Star Trek as the premiere science fiction show, and then promptly shat the bed entirely and the franchise has been dead for close to 15 years. Like dead dead, completely dead. Dead in a way that not even post-cancellation Star Trek was. I cannot think of another example of a franchise so decisively killing itself than with the SG1 movies being lame trash and SGU cutting the heart out of the franchise. No video games, no merchandizing, and they tried to launch a streaming service that was solely SG1 episodes. SRQ fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 19, 2024 |

It's not really so much that they killed the franchise, as much as MGM completed imploded in the wake of the 2008 Financial Crisis.

I never gave Stargate the time of day because I was a Star Trek fan and it seemed dumb just from seeing it for a few seconds here and there on commercials or flipping channels. Never even thought about it while Star Trek was off the air, with my main reaction being "They're still making that?" Since 2009 Trek has been back, and generally mixed in quality. I decided to jump into SG-1 because basically at this point they have started to cancel all the Star Treks again and by the end of the year only one show will be left that at best delivers ten episodes a year, sometimes with a year's hiatus. So hopefully the powers that be will bring back Stargate sometime soon.
