One of my favorite episodes (top 10 in the series IMO) is on Comet right now, "Window of Opportunity", or the SG1 Groundhog Day episode. Funny, serious, cool sci-fi, it's got everything that makes SG1 great.

I remember watching that episode like 20 years ago recovering from surgery and hopped up on painkillers and it being quite a trip. It and the black hole episode are the two episodes that almost always spring to mind when remembering SG1 generally. ChairmanMauzer fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jan 19, 2024 |

syntaxfunction posted:Stargate is a loving awesome series. I never was enraptured with Star Wars, Star Trek fluctuates between fine and awful, but I like Stargate a bunch. on my first ever watchthrough now once i got over/accepted the fact that it's at base a jingoistic love letter to liberal imperialism, i have been very much enjoying it. eminently watchable show, at about season 3 now, would recommend

Also giving Don Davis a headache is a good time. If I had to pick an episode, 1969 is high on the list.

yea i think its arguable that when it comes to any semblance of national pride or ambition, most of the people that are shown to care about USA or politics or the military industrial complex are almost always the bad guy or at best getting in the way of SG1/SGC theres like 1 good guy in the US government that doesnt work in SGC

I've seen all of SG1 multiple times and Atlantis at least twice and yet I have only seen 2.5ish episodes of Universe. I get bored and annoyed. Does it ever improve enough that I should try again?

There's some moments here and there, but I fundamentally don't think it's worth the effort.

If any of you have not watched "Killjoys" and can find it somewhere you should give it a go. It's a lot of dumb fun with a solid full series plot line.

But I own the DVD's and am going through the whole series (while I workout on the elliptical) and when I get to Universe, I know I'll watch it all.

It basically spends the first season doing not much then shows teeth in the 2nd half of season 2. You should skip any sex scene and do NOT think about how consent works with magic body swap stones that work across universes.

i completely forgot there were body swap stones or sex scenes in that show and still dont haave fond memories of it

Continuum may be worth watching for somebody that wants science fiction and likes Canada

Continuum was fun, Bre'tac was a major character in season 1. Don't think I watched anything past season 1.

Continuum had the best finale for a time travel related TV show.

Anyone recall if there was ever any follow up or mention of the aliens from the episode "Scorched Earth"? (season 4). This was the episode where a big spaceship is terraforming a planet that SG1 had recently moved a group of human refugees. The alien ship created an avatar that Daniel worked with to get them to help. But the actual aliens (we see them in a file) look like dinosaur/lizard aliens. Seems they could have been good friends/worthy allies.

pixaal posted:I thought their deal was they were extinct and this was a reseed. Indeed. But I didn't think they were gonna evolve themselves back up from scratch, but rather like the Asgard, they'd implant personalities into cloned or otherwise created bodies. They were quite advanced (but still got their asses kicked by some unnamed foe).

Not much to add, but SG1 was a formative part of growing up. I never had cable so always had to watch it late night around 12-2AM when it ran out of order on the local Fox affiliate. It was followed up with The Outer Limits reboot which I absolutely loved. In college, I finally got the full DVD set and watched it all the way through, loved every second of it. There's something I love about Stargate that really clicked with me – maybe it was a pragmatism mixed with an optimistic worldview, maybe it was the stellar cast I fell in love in with, maybe it was my siblings I bonded with watching the show. Glad there's an SG1 thread, waiting and hoping (indefinitely?) for an eventual HD release.

It's also worth noting that Stargate Universe is basically an isekai /e: also, jfc, as I recall they never really explain the drones beyond some basics and they just do not stop hammering that bullshit in S2. I'm three episodes from the end! gently caress offfffffff stringless fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jan 23, 2024 |

Sgt who dials the gate on the 3rd shift? ide love to be third shift gate dialler but im no siler. probably the airmen who got eaten by bugs escorting bitchy politicians to saftery in the gamma site. i just watched that episode though also a few episodes ago baal and his 5 clones got blown up on their mother ship by the lucian alliance but it being baal and them not showing his corpse i suspect both him and nerus are alive. didnt vala say she was in the alliance before she got stuck in the ori galaxy? why didnt they use that info when trying to infiltrate it on space corn the planet. just be like oh yeah valla sent us were working for her. earth needs addictive space corn to make space hfcs out of. im pretty sure in the episode that introduced her or the one she slapped the bracelets onto daniel she talked about it also the lucian alliance seems kind of interesting they seem to be mostly humans and have a bunch of gouald ships / tech and are some kind of space mob they also seem to have pivoted away from jaffa politics which is a shame snergle fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Jan 24, 2024 |
