Also Robert Carlyles character was amazing, and Eli was finally getting fleshed out only right at the end, arrrggh. I'm finally going through it (thanks to this thread) and really enjoy it. Not looking forward to having the rug pulled out from under me

I finally got a very belated reference over the title Thor's Chariot, finally dawned on me it was a Chariot of the Gods reference. Watching old Replicator episodes makes me sad, whats the dumber premise on a cool enemy, Human Form Replicators or the Borg Queen.

I finally finished SGU, I stopped a few episodes into season 2 and it's a shame it didn't stop trying to be Battlestar Galactica sooner. Towards the end, it was starting to become a good Stargate show. Not like SyFy has anything else worth a poo poo.

Haven, Warehouse 13 and Defiance are all alright shows. Defiance is much better than I expected.

I gave up on all those shows after the first few episodes, except for Warehouse 13, I watched every episode of it so I could complain loudly to anyone who would listen. That show was poo poo, bringing up that show in a Stargate thread is like bringing up a Porno in your favorite movie thread, sure a Porno is technically a movie in the same way Warehouse is technically sci-fi, but comparing the two is just not done.

I just watched "Wormhole X-Treme" and I loved it. Specially when the person playing Carter asks "so if we are phased, why don't we fall through the floor?" and the long silence after it. Also General Hammond saying "If we need plausible deniability we can just point at the show... if it doesn't get cancelled first."

I don't know why this poo poo doesn't bother me in Stargate SG-1. Probably because the show never took itself too seriously. Meanwhile I rage at V because their super advanced aliens with ships the size of cities capable of traveling across the galaxy send a dude with a knife to kill someone who could ruin their entire invasion plan.

The way I handwave this is that in the first episode those guys on Chulak spoke that form of Arabic and Daniel was the only one who could talk to them. Some translation is being done, we just miss it because in an hour story, you don't want half the episode lost because you want everyone to be translated for ~accuracy~. This suspension of disbelief works infinitely better than the "Stargate is translating" explanation that I heard once.

Forever in a Day was on Space yesterday and it reminds me that some of my favourite episodes of SG-1 were dream episodes. That episode in season six where Teal'c wakes up as a firefighter and is having weird dreams that he travels to far worlds and it was all a fever dream caused by him passing his symbiote between him and Bra'tac on a battlefield. That one where the Harsisis makes Daniel dream about the future  I throw the Groundhog Day episode in there as well since O'Neil and Teal'c are the only ones aware that they are re-living the same 6 hours over again. I wish we had a few more episodes like that, it gave the actors whose characters the episodes were focused on great opportunities to either act out of normal and in some instances we got to see sides of them we normally wouldn't see. This happened in that one episode in the first season of SGU where they traveled to a planet that had them caught in a black-hole of vortex or something where we ended up learning a bunch of stuff about certain characters but then it kind of came undone by the end since the present SGU people found a recording Lt. Whats-his-face left to warn them to move on

For being so essential to the plot, why does every episode directly involving an Ancient suck? I just saw Frozen, where an Ancient starts hitting on Quinn, and it sucked. Then I remember when an Ancient started hitting on Carter, also sucked Then there was the episode where the Ancient hooked up with Sheperd, sucked. The entire plot line of Daniel and the Ancients was terrible. There are a lot of episodes where they are ancillary characters that are not bad, but whenever center stage, suck.
