Just watched the episode which had almost no Stargate stuff in it at all except for a symbiote a billionaire was getting to cure a disease. All black ops conspiracy stuff and Maybourne and Q doing poo poo. That was a fun good episode! Maybourne is somehow a lot more likable now that he's gone rogue. If you want to contact him just post on AintItCoolNews

I’m most of the way thru SGU and … it’s tough. It’s just grim and serious and very of it’s time. It’s just as dated as SG1 in its own way. I like watching Young be the Jon Arbuckle to Rush’s Garfield. They just can’t get along! It’s finally calmed down a lot and neither has physically assaulted the other in a while. The most fun character is Greer, who has excellent deadpan and presence. I suspect he was modelled as the tealc type tough guy who pulls double duty on the comedic relief. Chloe is one of the worst people I’ve seen in any media. She is so selfish and short sighted and just too OC to believe. Anticharisma. I know it won’t happen but she should get blown out an airlock. Matthew Scott is an idiot for choosing her over gorgeous and capable Vanessa James. Chloe is the worst part of a rough show. She’s at the apex of a love triangle for reasons I just can’t understand.

I feel like Stargate Universe was supposed to be the Star Trek Voyager of the franchise, but they blew it with the flat writing and unlikeable characters

Nah, SGU was far more trying to pick up that Battlestar Galactica audience.

BSG ended in 2009, the same time SGU came out and they rebranded to syfy. Every show became gritty. Then when that flopped it went to wrestling. Stargate thread at the time did nickname it battlestar lite.

The one off episode where Jack crashes Harry's (1st) retirement plan was great. Felt like they were paying homage to something else with that one, but I can't place it. Two men, trapped in a wild environment, growing more paranoid and crazy....

You know, for it being an ongoing concern that enemies could get their gate address, it seems kind of like a bad idea for SG-1 to have the point of origin symbol on their uniforms but I just noticed it's been there the whole time.

Yeah by season 5 or 6, all Gate activity should have gone to the Alpha Site, and the only Gate traffic that goes to Earth is from the Alpha Site (and perhaps Pegasus Midway). Yeah, that's right Tok'ra, Alpha Site.

You need several more data points than the point of origin to derive a gate address. Like, at least 3. tongue in cheek but figuring out how gate addresses work is literally why Jackson's on the team at all

Also, each gate has a unique point of origin symbol on it, which just raises further questions tbh like, why is it necessary at all except to show Spader Jackson is special? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3h7xz558EY ah dangit i've got a couple hours, guess i'm watching the movie again /e: how am i only just noticing this was directed by Emmerich lmao stringless fucked around with this message at 05:11 on May 18, 2024 |

Nothing about the astronomy stuff in the movie or the show make any sense if you think about it for more than two seconds, but it's a fun show about going to a forest in Canada every week, and sometimes Teal'c acts really cool and that is fun too. redshirt posted:Apophis was a little bich rear end System Lord Out of the system lords, Apophis is sort of the coolest because he resurrects like three times. I guess with the sarcophagi that's not so impressive, though. I am now undermining my own argument to state that Ba'al is the coolest, because he actually tries to understand how the Tau'ri work and operate, and adjusts himself accordingly. Plus he is very handsome, RIP. Apophis is very handsome too, but he carries it on the show like a hostile thing, whereas Ba'al seems like a more approachable fella. You know, aside from the episode where he brutally tortures Jack for the entire duration.

Ba'al's "breakout episode" IMO is the one where he has O'Neill prisoner and tortures him. Fun fact about that episode, it mostly exists because RDA had knee surgery and couldn't move around much, hence the episode where he's lying down for almost the entirety of it. Happy fortune I think. We got Ba'al out of it.

Ba'al was a cool villain because he showed a level of curiosity in the world around him that the other system lords lacked. Most of them were just meatheads who wanted to find the easiest shortcut to maintaining their power base at any given time, Ba'al seemed to actually care about figuring out how things worked.

Ba'al is a truly fantastic villain. Hell it's only been a page or three ITT since someone brought up that he's the only Goa'uld to really "get" the Tau'ri and run with it. "Truly they have made many advances, but they are still simple of brain. I will conquer them by becoming ... a TechBro! But with style and class." stringless fucked around with this message at 14:41 on May 18, 2024 |

One of my favorite small moments on SG1 is in like Season 9 or 10, when the Jaffa council sends a strike team of Jaffa to Earth to try and abduct tech bro Ba'al. Just the whole thing - Ba'al as a tech bro, the Jaffa independently working on Earth, using Tau'ri tactics, the Jaffa Council telling Earth to suck it, I loved this politics.
