Well, they were clearly already feuding anyway, lots of references to earlier battles between them over thousands of years, but in a pretty complacent way before Ra atomized and freed up a bunch of territory.

Stargate Origins is a short series that goes more into what happened before the main events of the original movie. Stargate: The Ark of Truth takes place right after the end of SG-1 S10 and Atlantis S3. Stargate: Continuum is after Atlantis S4. Origins was a web series, the others are TV movies stringless fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Nov 30, 2023 |

snergle posted:wait films? was there tv movies made? im only in s8 or 9 Yeah Ark of Truth and Continuum as FFT mentions. Ark of Truth wraps up the later season's plotlines (and isn't that great tbh). Continuum is a bit more wacky and feels like a two-parter TV episode. It's fun.

Ark of Truth is very much required it basically condenses the plans for S11 and 12 into a single movie, it's rough because of that. They do well for covering so much ground. Continuum is probably one of the most fun things Stargate made. The plot ends up not really effecting much so even if there was more you *could* skip it but it would be a crime to watch everything and not watch it.

From what I read, even though for previous seasons they were ready to be cancelled/for the show to end, they weren't for Season 10, and got caught by surprise. That's why the last episode of the show, while very good, leaves all kinds of ongoing plotlines open.

Unrelated, The Man from Earth is probably my all-time favorite movie, and on this rewatch I realized Stargate has two actors from it: I knew John Billingsley played Coombs in The Other Guys, but also Tony Todd played Haikon in the Sodan episodes. I probably noticed on my last watch, but also they're three seasons apart.

Felger and Coombs, The Other Guys. Coombs is OK, Felger is.... The Felger dedicated episode, with the Avenger virus, and the assistant, and Sam, and I don't like to use the word cringe, but... Also, for the record, Dr Lee is not one of the comedy joke scientists until several episodes after his introduction.

It's absolutely intended. They did a darker version with Kavanagh in Atlantis (just recently saw the episode where they think he could be the Trust mole) Like the only scientist almost-main character that really comes out looking good in the whole series is Zelenka

Good old Zelenka. [guy who doesn't know Zelenka's native language after he dishes everything on Atlantis in a recording to his family] Was any of that classified information?

I love Zelenka, he should be in charge of engineering at Atlantis, not Mckay. Heroes Part 1 is on Comet now, but part 2 won't air till Monday morning. Dr. Frazier!!!!! Also, Survivor is also part of the SG1 universe. Direct reference at the beginning of the episode.

Teal'c would absolutely love Survivor, quoting Jeff at hilarious times off-world. Jack would make absolutely sure that, under pain of death by his hands, slowly, no one at SGC tells Teal'c about all the editing and kayfabe.

A bit strange how the resolution to that episode was "how about a bit of light and respectful slavery instead of outright genocide?" Also it's got Michael Rooker as the commanding officer that constantly insists on genocide lol S07E07: Enemy Mine stringless fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Dec 4, 2023 |

Yeah, an odd ending, but it's the Unas's idea to work the mines. I just watched it the other day, the reaction of the various SG people is like..... well, we didn't expect that, but if you want to..... Col. Rooker learns some respect by the end.

The Unas know about the Goa'uld, and they want to help in the war. Maybe in the long run they'd join up as soldiers but our cultures are too far apart and we barely understand their language and culture anyway, but they still want to do what they can to assist, soooo

The dragon I just shrugged off since it's clearly supposed to be some kind of a hologram anyways. As for the King Arthur stuff, yeah, it's cheesy and hokey, but I liked it. I liked how it tied into the religious vibe of the Ori, and all those medieval towns and peons. It also fits long standing SG tradition of tying aliens and some historical Earth culture. Ancients become the legends of Arthur. Why not!

Too bad Ba'al never took over Earth. He seems like he would have reinvented the Goa'uld System Lords into being OCP executives and turned the Jaffa into PMCs.

I loved Ba'al, and specifically that plot. CEO Ba'al, engaging in hostile corporate takeovers. It was a perfect way to use a Goa'uld. Wasn't there another (maybe 2 more) corporate Goa'ulds? There was the tech guy who was dying so got a snake put in him; there was lady Goa'uld who was running some company (was she working with ba'al?)....

Leandros posted:^^Athena! A bit of both. Momoa is very good at the "Big loving badass dude who can beat the poo poo out of the physical threat of the week", but he's not exactly a great actor. This doesn't mean he's a bad, or middling actor - he just knows what he excels at, and doesn't try to break that in a show that asks him to be just that. The character isn't super deep though, or unique: "I've lost my family, I'll have my vengeance, the quirky yet noble humans will warm my cold broken heart, etc etc" - nothing that hasn't been done before. Needed a bit more spice somewhere

I mean sure the backstory sucks but I mean his general demeanour. 90% of the time he's just gruff and looks at anyone like he's raring to fight. Teal'c was a warrior but at least he could smile for reasons other than fantasizing about shooting people.

Momoa is kind of the Arnold replacement that just got huge (in more ways than one) just about 5 years too late. Like Momoa's already done Conan, and I could kind of see him in a lot of past Arnold roles like Running Man, Terminator, etc. more than Dwayne Johnson. edit: Ronan also feels like you have a problem with having both he and Teyla filling the role of 'outsider with awesome combat abilities that surpass every Tau'ri and have unique Wraith connections' so I don't know if they wanted to have his character lean more alienated while she was the one who was more sociable with Earth crew.

Ronon doesn't like poor Michael. That's a character trait. As usual, an episode where I say out loud: "Shut up Rodney!"
