Please discuss your favorite parts of Stargate SG1. If you can't think of anything, how about considering how many SG Teams ate it completely and were replaced, and then those replacement ate it too! And we're replaced....

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. I love how it might be the unique difference of Jack being friends with Thor that changes all sorts of dynamics.

syntaxfunction posted:Even basic stuff like introducing stricter and more specific quarantine procedures, drones for recon before sending teams, etc. It feels realistic. Indeed. I wish they used the Alpha Site more. If I were in charge, once Alpha Site was up and well running, all Gate traffic for new missions and such would go through it. Earth Gate would be highly restricted.

Overdog posted:I think they should shut the Stargate project down. Way too dangerous. Every episode is like a near fuckup and those jarheads almost get themselves killed and completely rely on MacGuyver to rig some poo poo to get them back home. But then you see why they want to do missions because life sucks on the base. I mean maybe if they used it for vacations or cheeky romps or whatever but not like this. SHUT THE STARGATE DOWN! Whatever, Senator Kinsey.

WHACKO!!!! This episode (Window of Opportunity) is the best example of why SG1 is so incredible. It's a great episode, a time loop comedic episode, that all of a sudden at the end packs a dramatic punch. The show was funny, could make fun of itself, and yet took itself serious too.

Like Patty and Selma, I've kinda fallen in love with RDA because of Stargate. He's got this adorable personal website someone else maintains for him. https://www.rdanderson.com/ He loved his dog, but she died a few years ago, and he was devastated. RDA wanted to be a pro hockey player as a youth, but broke both his arms. So he became an actor. He became such an actor he was a street mime in the 70's, juggling and stuff. He loves The Simpsons Subscribe for more RDA fun facts.

Valko posted:It's an existential headfuck. If this actually happened it basically proves the Multiverse Theory. Wasn't there also some episode with an evil alternate SG1 team? I just checked and there are eight across it and it's spinoffs. There was the AI SG1 but they were not evil.

itry posted:Unless I'm forgetting something... The story relies on Apophis butt dialing both Earth and Abydos in the same week. You may think it had something to do with the death of Ra, but no, Pophis was just looking for a bride and accidently hit up Earth even though the original number hasn't been in service for thousands of years and they had to take stellar drift into account to get the correct current number. JAFFA KREE!

Aragosta posted:Took me until 2010 to finally watch SG-1 and Atlantis when loving the original film since it was released. I got to say the series are great. I really loved Harry Maybourne and his whole storyline. His delivery of simple lines like "C'mon Jack" are just wonderful. Maybourne is so great. Technically an antagonist, but how can you not love him? Also, that time Carter calls him out for being an idiot, but he does come through and help save the day.

pixaal posted:I love SG-1 government they are so believable as politicians. I thought it was over the top watching it as it came out but nope just lines right up. Oh the Airforce is full of good people who have high morals and excellent ethics though don't worry. What do you mean don't count the war crimes in Atlantis? Not sure I agree. I doubt a real life Stargate Command would be anywhere near as moral and good as the one run by Hammond.

Rappaport posted:He definitely delivers. And there's even the episode where Jack and Maybourne (misspelled his name earlier) go visit him, and it is both intimidating and hilarious. I freaking love Ba'al. Him having to work with (and show some respect to) Carter just tickles me.

Cliff Simon), he just turns the smarm up to 11 and has nefarious, world-destroying schemes, but the acting performance is wonderful and you sort of want to like him even though he's definitely a big bad after the horrific torture episode in, I want to say season 6?
|
pixaal posted:I mean the non military people, the government. You know Maybourne and Kinsey basically. They really seem like politicians.I don't think a real life SGC would be anywhere near as ethical as SG-1, Atlantis though yikes do they do some shoot first, make decisions for other planets. Agreed. Relatedly, I loved the arc Woolsley went on, where he started as one of bad government guys but turned into a good guy.

Quaint Quail Quilt posted:I enjoyed Stargate as it came out, but when I tried rewatching it a few years ago I got unreasonably angry on an early episode where the natives of a "gravel pit planet" were using shovels and picks completely implausibly. (As if the actors had never dug anything before ever) Give me more context so I can look this up. Early season, late season? What was the overall plot?

Hyrax Attack! posted:I really liked Jonas & thought season 6 was one of the best ones. Although the Groundhog Day ep was my favorite. "Window of Opportunity" The best Stargate episode IMO. As it features the comedy of the series, that no one expects, and then hits you with an emotional gut punch at the end. It's the single best example of how this show could mock itself AND take itself totally serious.

pixaal posted:The cast change up does find itself (just in time to get axed) they finish up the plots threads with 2 movies though! A third was planned but was shelved when Don S Davis died which meant it needed a rewrite to start filming. Still they name a ship after him in Atlantis. RIP Don S Davis. He'll always be my SGC Commander.

One of the least believable things about the show is they kept the Stargate secret from the public. There's dozens of reasons why that would not work, but consider just the fact that SG teams took a pretty high fatality rate. How are you explaining to widows how your husband was KIA but not in any known conflict?

Rappaport posted:Even putting aside the forever war aspect of the military-industrial complex of the US, "Ma'am / Sir, it's classified" is a kind of big gently caress off and don't ask questions answer. And whose mind would go first to ancient portals to other solar systems and snakes in heads? I mean, there's a lot of widows. Surely some of them would demand answers/more info.

Rappaport posted:I suppose the Manhattan project is a bad example since they did have communist spies in there, and they got the death penalty, woof, but that real-world project involved hundreds of people too. And they were all sequestered on site and hush hushed. Ostensibly SGC folks are just working for the Air Force at Cheyenne Mountain. As we see, they all have regular lives in the real world.
