MakaVillian posted:Pretty much the same timeline (Daniel leaves at the end of season 5). I liked Jonas in season 6, but show turned into poo poo after that. I sorta misspoke. Season 6 wasn't bad, and Jonas was honestly a decent character. Like you said, it started going downhill after the show caved to fans demanding that Daniel be brought back.

Wish kickstarter was around 20 years ago so we could have had Farscape season 5 instead of a two parter conclusion. I remember the production company saying something after the cancellation like "We would like to thank the individual who sent in a check for $40, but we will be returning it."

I remember being pissed off at Netflix at the time I watched it because they had all four seasons of the show but not the movie so I had to pirate it or some poo poo just to watch it (this was when TV/Movie streaming was basically just "Netflix, Hulu, or bust")

Meme Poker Party posted:Farscape is also great classif sci-fi (I haven't seen the others). imo this is also the Farscape thread now. The SG-1 and Farscape thread. i keep re-watching Farscape every few years and then don't watch The Peacekeeper Wars because it's never streaming anywhere at the time. so last year i finally just broke down and bought the dvd for it and now i'm too lazy to re-watch Farscape. i'll never know how it ends.

I'm sorry for badmouthing you SG1, I think you might have been the last of the decent and fun scifi shows. These days it's all about being dark and moody. I'd kill for something that took some risks and had fun along the way, another Brimstone or Seven Days! A shame Almost Human was smothered in the crib.

Farscape was better but yeah the first half of SG-1 is also excellent, mostly. It did feel like the one show with the military that wasn't quite as self-conscious about it, which i kinda appreciated, too. SG-1 being actually funny sometimes really helps the show go. Got worse when Daniel Jackson stopped being the nerd, though. A lot worse.

The Tok'ra gently caress over SG-1 and General Hammond declares his intent to send teams searching for O'Neil. The Tok'ra insist that they not send teams because it might endanger their undercover operations. So the Tok'ra ambassador threatens to break diplomatic ties with humans if Hammond sends these teams out, and Hammond just goes "well looking at the way our current alliance is going, I wouldn't mind that at all." This is called having a spine.

Proficient Scoundrel posted:Every planet and race speaks English. Theres like two good scifi stories in all of existence that deal with translation; tng episode Darmok, and the movie Arrival. Maybe there's others I can't think of, but having every episode grind to a complete halt for half the runtime would be absolute poison. Really they should've just found some ancient tool that acts like a star trek universal translator.

Rewatched it all last year, then Atlantis. If I remember correctly every episode Christopher Judge wrote Teal'c gets to make out with a sexy woman at some point. Twice it was Jolene Blalock.

Srsly. Hammond was a great ballsy character at the beginning, chewing out O'Neill on a few occasions. He kind of turned into a nice grandpa at the end, which was weird for a 2-Star General.

I think I like it more because they add so many secondary characters that make regular appearances to have fun team ups with the main cast. SG-1 does have a large cast, but very often those characters just sit in their room and the main cast comes and visits, then leaves, whereas Atlantis will pair two clashing personalities up for a whole episode.

MakaVillian posted:Seven Days was cool. Oh yeah they had lots of fun figuring out disasters to justify time travel. I like the idea that humanity was about to end nearly every week and them gaining access to a time machine was a happy coincidence. For a pre-9/11 show they seemed to strain to find ok international bad guys. Lots of Chechen, North Korean, and cartels. For SG1 I liked it ok, Teal'c was the best actor then Hammond, then Colonel O'Neill, then a big drop off. I liked when they stuck to the premise of finding tech and allies, less so when they wanted to become Star Wars or Star Trek. I did like them bothering to send drones to check new planets to make sure they could support life, but yeah everyone speaks English Galaxy wide was lazy. Just have Thor’s people give them universal translators and call it good.
