The first few episodes pretend to be family guy in space then find their footing and become the best scifi on TV right now. Orville is now my favorite over sg1

It's alright, I watched the first six seasons earlier this year and got a bit bored of it around then. Maybe I'll go back to it later. One thing that struck me is that for all the "lol lots of planets sure look like the forests of BC" that SG1 gets, the producers did at least go to the trouble of scouting some different places out in those forests. Honestly what I always found funnier about mid-late 90s sci-fi forest scenes was how it sometimes felt like someone said "hey, let's hire the local SCA nerds, they can even bring their own costumes and tents!  "What was more striking to me about SG-1 and location reuse was just how many scenes took place in the infirmary.

Was that when they brought in that one chick from Farscape? Was Stargate: Atlantis the one with the Canadian dude that pronounced the ZPMs "Zed-PMs"?

The episode where the team gate into some factory looking place where the lone inhabitant “clones” the team as cyborg/robots. The resolution of the episode is that the cloned team has to exist on this essentially derelict planet for all eternity.

I would let every single member of SG-1 and most of gate command have sex with me, however kinky they liked. All at once, if that was they jam. Really though the show was best seasons 3-8, before season 3 it seemed like it wasn't sure what the goal was and season 1 was on HBO or something I think. Total full frontal first episode even which is fine but a different cadence. After RDA and Don retired it was...it felt phoned in. Farscape man didn't save it.

Besides Atlantis, I didn't know there were Sg-1 seasons without RDA and the rest... gently caress that must have sucked.

Yeah I don’t see myself watching a Seth Mcfarlane show, both because I dislike his humor and because his face provokes this sort of uncanny valley response in my brain. I’m sure it’s fine but it is not for me. I do enjoy Killjoys and think it shares a lot of the spirit and tone of SG1 perhaps owing to being an in-house SyFy project and also being very Canadian.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:There's a Stargate pinball machine I like but I really wish it was themed after SG-1 instead of the movie. Anyway, show is good. Wasn't the gag with someone from Conan's show being the chevron dude that Walter wasn't in that episode? Why do I even vaguely remember any of this stuff

It reminds me of Star Trek except the missions are run by the US Air Force instead of the Federation. It's 90s tv scifi.

Colonel Cancer posted:I've only seen that one movie, with pyramids and space Egyptians, and it seemed kind of lame. Should I bother with the series? The movie is barely related to the show. They don't even use the same actors the events technically happened. It's best thought of as an alternate universe, the movie director keeps saying he's going to finish the movie trilogy and go in the direction he wanted. I give SG-1 a 10/10 - with the note the first sesson was a bit rough but it makes up for it by even the clip show episodes being good. They retell the story with interesting framing such as everyone being puppets. They are legit good and worth watching. I give the movie a 7/10 - it's just not up to the standards of the show I give Atlantis an 8.5/10 - it has ups and downs part of it being of you don't watch it back to back with the SG-1 ep that aired before it that week sometimes characters from SG-1 seem to just show up out of nowhere (when sg-1 spent an episode or two procuring whatever it was) I'm not going to rate Universe it never had a chance to find it's stride it was going to be amazing or terrible. The SG-1 movies that came out to wrap up the plot threads are all pretty decent. The Ori one feels really rushed and I wouldn't rewatch but hey it finished the plot! The Baal movie is amazing 10/10 need more Baal as in bocce in my live.

One of the things I loved about Stargate sg1 and Atlantis is that it generally did a very good job keeping its fake sci-fi science straight and consistent even between both shows. Stuff like specifics on how the gates themselves work are not made up on an episode by episode basis.

Atlantis was even more garbage. Universe was unwatchable. SG-1 is a gift from above, if you into that. The movie was...as a huge sperg about film, not good. But Kurt Russel.

If you want to watch something thats still a little bit grimdark, but has the Stargate tv sci-fi feel, Continuum on Netflix is good for that. Amanda Tapping ( ) even directed a few episodes

I would have liked Killjoys a lot more if they stuck to the bounty hunting instead of going off the rails after the first season and becoming an alien invasion series.

there are some really good episodes. unfortunately there is also the rest of the show. still, occasional excellence is better than most long-running tv shows ever achieve.
