Nullsmack posted:Rewatching Atlantis since I got a good deal on the DVDs a while back. What a great show. Universe was a bad idea. Atlantis could've gone for 10 seasons if they didn't pull the carpet out from under it to go off and make the atrocity called SGU. It's what happens when a show doesn't get renewed and everyone finds out halfway through what becomes the last season's production and filming. Didn't they all think that SG1 Season 8 was going to be the last one too, but it got picked up again, which is why they had to basically shoehorn the Ori for the last two seasons? From Atlantis's ending, it seemed like they had some big plans for season 6, but they were never realized, and they can't even get an Atlantis movie to bring closure. If SG1 could have been guaranteed another 3-4 seasons after season 8, and give Atlantis a guaranteed 6th of 7th season, I'm pretty sure the shows would have been planned out a lot better.

Like, it would directly follow the original Stargate movie (with Kurt Russell and James Spader) and completely bypass SG1, Atlantis and Universe (for good or for bad).

I don't think a reboot of the TV series is entirely necessary, maybe they should move on to new characters, new stories and plot devices. A remake of the movie could be good so long as they don't go all J.J Abrams on it.

Maybe taking on smaller system lords or enemies other than the Goa'uld. Maybe then moving on to the Lucian Alliance later on, or other groups that snag up the power vacuum as SG1 takes out various Goa'uld.

There was a licensed SG-1 game with full voice acting on iOS just less than a year ago, but I wasn't ever able to get it to work, so I can't speak to how good it was. I think it was an adventure game?

They were the same garbage game that was mired in development hell for years and years that ultimtely came out as some poo poo f2p garbage. Stargate somehow never got a proper game, despite having had multiple (other than the one that came out) in development over the years. There was even that one pretty bad episode where Teal'c was trapped in a VR machine - supposedly the "game" Teal'c was stuck in used assets from the FPS that was in development at the time. drat shame really, Stargate lends itself so easily to a lot of game genres and especially to procedurally generated/user made/dlc/etc content.

But yeah, the advanced portals mod has an optional stargate-like dialing device, and pairing it with Mystcraft can allow the procecdural creation of strange, alien worlds.

Hey uh, does anyone have that link to a table with the best SG-1/Atlantis episode viewing order? I've got a link to a page on GateWorld that tells you which seasons to watch alongside one another, but I must've forgotten to bookmark the link someone posted ages ago, where it actually has an episode-to-episode list in table format, showing the episode names and precise order you should view them in. I know it's not all that necessary, but I'm approaching the endings of SG-1 season nine and Atlantis season two, and I remember that last season(s) it did matter a bit as to which order you view the last discs in. So yeah, if anyone knows what I'm referring to (or has something similar) and has a link, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I recently had a power-watch of all of SG1 and the movies, and started up Atlantis. I got to the first episode in Atlantis where the Replicators show up, and couldn't even finish it. Literally every Replicator episode is the same, with the same sounds and the same fights and the same resolution. Why did they keep using them so drat much?

Same reason that original battlestar galactica kept reusing the footage of 2 cylon fighters banking & attacking, or Star Trek keeps reusing the same klingon bird of prey footage......existing stock footage that is already paid for/cheap to reuse.

Chickenwalker posted:XCom is about as good a Stargate game as you could ever want I feel. Alternatively, if you want a spiritual successor to the original X-COM that stays true to the original - just with a cold war vibe - and is a little more 'user friendly' by modern standards (read: resolutions that go higher than three digits, as well as a UI that doesn't suck) I'd probably have to recommend Xenonauts. It's still in Beta so it's not yet finished, but I've found it to be a great re-imagining of X-COM without lowering the difficulty/making it more appealing to the 'mainstream' audience. As for something a more directly related to Stargate, I just bought season ten of SG-1 (I'm a few eps from the s9 finale, currently) and on the back it says that SG-1 is 'led by Daniel Jackson'. So uh, has the actual team leadership really fallen upon Daniel and Mitchell is no longer team leader, or was that blurb just put together by someone who never watched the show and/or is an idiot?

Huh, OK then, I guess they just didn't think to have anyone proof-read anything. (also, what's with Daniel's new glasses? Seems weird to see him change after all these seasons) Also, does anyone know why there was such an abrupt hand-over from O'Neill to Landry? Like, was there a real-life reason as to why RDA didn't want to/wasn't able to hand over command across an episode or two, and instead just didn't really make an appearance, other than a couple of brief cameos? Or were the writers just unable to come up with something decent/convincing enough as to why Jack would retire then rather than later on? (same goes for SG-1 disbanding at the same time, I guess)

Just so we're all on the same page, RDA totally phoned in those appearances, and his phoned in appearances were great. I think Daniel's new glasses was just the producers and/or Shanks being like, "Okay, we're basically a different show, Daniel's a totally different person now, let's get him some reasonable, non-90s glasses." I was listening to the interview after the Big Finish episode "Gift of the Gods" and it was interesting hearing Shanks talk about playing two different Daniels, since one of the episodes in the first BF series is set around season 2-ish and the other is around season 10.

Virtually all the season finales from 6 onward were possible series finales. "Full Circle" (S6) in particular was supposed to be the end of SG1.
