Just watched Holiday and got super pissed that they didn't just come out and say that guy on his death bed was Santa Claus. Turned it off 10 minutes early like poo poo or get off the pot.

Loved how the show built solutions to current problems from previous accidents. In a one off episode O'neill puts his head into an ancient knowledge transfer device that nearly kills him. Latter the team needs some Ancient knowledge, they go back to that planet, and when the team comes back O'neill says something like "we couldn't figure it out so I just did it again". What was once an entire episode spanning crisis is now just another device in their repertoire to get out of the current bigger emergency.

He took one for the team the second time, I assume ready to die.

It's pretty funny how Rodeny incel McKay got turned into a main character. Perhaps the worst introduction to a main character in the entire franchise?

I've just started watching Atlantis and I'm having a hard time with him. He's a liability on away missions both strategically and diplomatically. He's an rear end in a top hat to his colleagues. Sure he's wicked smart and does save the day, but.....

And that serves a good narrative purpose since you can't (usually) kill your main characters, so having SG-5 eat it put some realistic consequences on what they were doing. Which was war.

Everyone in SG-1 died multiple times though. They got better, but they did die. Edit: Even if you don't include alternate timelines/dimensions, there's still Daniel that died like 5 times throughout the show. itry fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Aug 15, 2023 |

He has a turning point I haven't watched Atlantis seriously since it aired, it was on while I was drinking and poo poo posting for a bit but not enough to catch the episode order or really try and nail down when it happened. I think it's the episode where he becomes really really stupid due to the parasite. Rodney is completely terrible in SG-1 But Weir isn't even played by the same actor in Atlantis as she was in SG-1

The funniest thing about Stargate Atlantis to me was the fact that my sister had a crush on Rodney... And Ronon. Also everyone in this thread should probably watch A Dog's Breakfast, starring David Hewlett and his sister (who played Jeannie Miller an a few episodes of Atlantis), Paul McGillion, Christopher Judge, and Rachel Luttrell.

It rarely happens in any show unless the actor wants out/forced out in real life. In regards the other SG teams, there are a couple of characters who get multiple episodes. A bad rear end Colonel Makepeace in earlier seasons. And there was a Colonel in later seasons who functioned more as a diplomat.

I did appreciate SG-1's villain power curve over the course of the series and how the solutions built on top of each other, though by the end they were running out of power levels and it was getting kind of ludicrous. Speaking of ludicrous, Earth by the end of the series was an intergalactic power with a fleet of FTL warships, went from zero to major player in the Milky Way while crushing the previous major player, in the span of a decade. All of this without the larger population even knowing what was going on even though Earth had been attacked multiple times.

And they know that replicator humans can stay alive in space, but do they go back and get Weir? gently caress no.

Scottish dude doctor pissed me off in the S1 two parter "The Storm/The Eye". They make it back to Atlantis and he won't shut up, even though they are in a life/death situation, complaining about the military giving orders.
