ChairmanMauzer posted:The Mongol episode is a definite low point. it sucks because i was like holy poo poo mongols yes. Then it was a sexism plot when mongols were progressive with women for their time. genghis used political marriages to steal kingdoms. essenstially he was like hey bro i wont invade if you disavow all heirs and wives and marry my daughter. they do it. then hes like great now come help me fight your neighbor that guys a dick. then when the king gets there genghis is like hey go fight in the front line to prove your a man. they die from fighting or an arrow in the back and his daughter is now sole ruler of that kingdom and he trusted them to do a good job. Rappaport posted:Yeah. Snergle, I would suggest trying to go through it until the season 1 finale and the season 2 opener. That is where the show really kicks off and demonstrates what it wants to be, and does it in style. yeah i plan to atleast finish the first season but i couldnt make it through tng

i got up to the hathor episode. from the heart of darkness to the hathor episode all the episodes were pretty good. hathor is the 3rd worst episode so far but it isnt as bad as the heart of darkness one. the mongol stays in the worst episode slot. but im sure she is going to be a reoccuring villian considering she got away to teal'cs homeworld snergle fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Sep 2, 2023 |

redshirt posted:I liked the Hathor episode even though I can see why people think it's bad. yeah the later half was pretty good but the opening scene and her getting control was bad. once the girls got out of the jail it was all good. i think she might be a good reoccuring villian if she is one. they set her up as a sort of down the line problem or possibly mini boss before apothis the first half of the heart of darkness one is great though then the last half sucks once sam is captured by her ex fiance. s1 definatly has more good then bad though snergle fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Sep 2, 2023 |

just finished the stargate malfunction episode this episode was really good. the tolan episode before hand was also pretty good i liked the tolan and i liked the call back to the nox. i also like how all the "primitive" races are working together in the tolan episode. the teal'c trial episode was the best of the season so far. it also had the funniest exchange ever i had to pause it to finish laughing. hammond: the us military isnt in the habit of interfering in other peoples affairs. jack: SINCE WHEN!? hammond: since uh this administration. wont be able to finish the season out for awhile though im definatly going to stick around for more seasons though snergle fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Sep 5, 2023 |

managed to binge a bit. the clip show sucked but was quickly made up for by being sandwhiched by 4 amazing episodes. i think sg1 is the only show ive seen do the dark reality right. apothis invading earth was handled great to. i ended up slacking on house work and binged up to thors chariot finding out thor is a grey was really cool. then seeing him just come in and basically get rid of every goulad and jaffa on the planet in seconds. also cant wait for them to find out apothisis is alive since they are operating under the assumption he died. I do feel like they might be setting up to many future enemies. we have apothis, hathor and ra's son as gould enemies and possibly the tolan and nox as Frenemies i hadnt read the thread before i posted this. the s1 clip show is the one im refering to. its just a generic run down of episodes in s1 as a reason to shut down the star gate program

they seem unwilling to help and slightly antagonistic but not in a mean way. like the tolan but less dickish about earth being a primitive poo poo hole. i wanna see more of thor but if hes at war with the gould why doesnt he just walk up on on every planet and zap them.

i just got up to the tokra double episode. lots of cool stuff happened between thor being a grey and now. nid have gone from antagonistic rivalry to rogue agents using their own stargate to do their own thing thankfully they just had the stargate for 1 episode unless they got tricked again lol. tealc made a friend in town while living kafkas nightmare. and the native american episode. i wish the mongol episode was as good as the native american episode. plus i didnt see alot of redface in this episode which was honestly cool for such an old show. jacks rant in the native american episode was :chefkiss: also horus's son trying to steal apothis's son / future host was cool plus tealc laying the blame on horus was great. then sharay's gould not turning them in was kinda wierd but after the tokra episodes i have to wonder if she may be tokra. also why dont they just triple tap every single person with the zat gun. it would be so much better tons of times they just leave dead guards lying around to be found and have the alarms raised. like when they helped tealc get his son back jack triple tapped the best friend of tealc but he didnt even try to be like idk where he is but he didnt triple tap the guard if he had triple tapped the guard they wouldnt of locked it down and he could of got out much easier. plus i think it might also make the systemlord of the people they are triple tapping suffer mentally because you could start spreading rumors about deserters and it makes it less obvious who their enemy is. if they always only triple tap instead of double tap everyone. honestly there were only 3 episodes in almost 40 episodes i didnt like. the one i hated and the other two were just lovely in the begining or end of the episode. the only other show with this level of ratio from this era or older is b5 ds9 and koth. also i figured out how to tell if they are in an alternate reality. tealc has hair! if tealc has hair their in some super vr or alternate reality snergle fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Sep 11, 2023 |

im somewhere in s3. i just finished the bounty hunter one. it was a really fun episode. back to back major gould deaths though. it basically went hathors dead seths dead chronus is dying / nefriti is going to get killed for trying to kill him. i assume hathor is alive though her death was off screen but they usually show the villian sneaking away in a quick scene. sett was just like smashed into the ground and they showed his corpse so i think hes dead dead i really dislike the ending and jacks actions in the nanite learning one. yeah those people were hosed with what they do. but he took the kid against their will and against orders. then the ending was a huge cop out with the zombie kids learning to be kids. they didnt over night from infants to 5th graders w/o giving them nanites and the nanites werent given to them. also im starting to realize all the "historically non white" races gods are gould but the white supremists gods arent. im sure its unintentional but like mix it up. like have a gould be pretending to be jesus and some cool hindu poo poo be another asgardian race for all i know t hats gonna happen soon though. im honestly suprised with how many iron age civilizations they havent run into a dark age europe one. edit also i forgot about the spirits episode so i guess they have done that already where the gently caress did tealc get that goatee at in the 2nd mirror universe episode. he went through the mirror with no hair then they bring evil tealc into the closet and good tealc has a goatee. tealc + hair man lol reminds me of the michelo episode and tealc wanting to shave jacks head snergle fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Sep 19, 2023 |

Name them, they probably tried to hit on Sam. Aliens, Diplomats, NID Agents, etc. also daniel gets a new chick every 3 episodes. hes basically kirk but a linguist / archeologist who when the plot demands is also good or bad at math / other sciences which makes his main motivation of saving his wife kinda sus.

Which is pretty fun, they're arguably some of the worst non-advanced natives they come across. i actually just saw that one! it was kinda decent. and im guessing sokkar is the christian figure one from the spoiler post earlier. i thought i remembered the one where he was burning through the iris that daniel said he was egyptian but the closest analoge would be satan i guess he is full on satan now. i also havent seen the ori yet im mostly wanting to see the furling since it would be the last of the 4 races. although i guess i didnt see an ancient yet either but the whole moved on from this space thing snergle fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Sep 19, 2023 |

holy poo poo. when nanuk took off his mask to reveal that he is apothis after killing binar that was such a hype moment not quite jack with the asgard but definatly equal to the reveal that the asgard are the greys. that was a really good two parter to. they showed apothis escaping at the end but not sokkar so i suspect since they tend to show the bad guys escaping if they live then sokkar is probably dead. cant wait to see where it goes from here. snergle fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Sep 21, 2023 |

two almost back to back nid episodes one where sam needs mayborns help to save planet and the other where jack infiltrates nid to find the sgc mole. i called the mole angle the second mayborn showed up though. but i was so annoyed out of jacks shift in character that it really shows how much you end up liking these characters. braytack not being ready to die to walk the path and going back to tealc outside in the desala episode was cool to. i suspect desala is a furling or ancient though. im leaning towards ancient because leaving this space is almost exactly how ascension to an energy being is described in b5. snergle fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Sep 21, 2023 |

And yet the replicators still make more sense than the borg. the only show bible that ever worked was b5. sg1 obviously doesnt know what their doing from season to season and its better for it. i thought hathor would have more then 2 episodes her first episode very clearly set her up to be a later threat then she got iced in her second episode. seth was killed in his first one. the only 4 people who plot armor are the main cast. if hammond died in the next episode ide be shocked but not super shocked.

Wet Bulb Drip posted:I never watched it. Is it worth watching now? i started watching it for the first time pretty recently. its pretty good and not pretty good for a 90s show. its actually good. i will say that the mongol episode you should probably skip immediatly its that trash. the second you hear daniel say they are mongols just skip to the next episode. irc it was the second episode in s1. im in s4 and theres a bit of a lull but the episodes arent bad just not as engaging as some of the other episodes. although the episode i just finished up was really good and an interesting idea so i doubt it stays in a lull for a long period of time. the episode i just finished is the ao shin one. where they steralized 90% of the planet and they are star experts. so the sg1 team reunites to use the star gate to send a message back. their plan was kinda dumb though why didnt they all write a note including tealc who could of easily got his through the star gate before jack daniel and sam were mowed down. also jesus christ tealc was like 200 in that episode was shot like 30 times while dialing out and then took out like 5 turrets it was pretty bad rear end. infact jack suggests they all write their own note and everyone dies trying to get his note through. i am hoping they will be like yeah literally all of your blood is on it and it be a sort of mystery they look into or refrence. maybe it makes them slightly more cautious. snergle fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Oct 3, 2023 |

i just assume they got some universal translator off screen that works for most earth based languages because human aliens usually cock their head to the side then start speaking in english. so i assume their translator has like a southern accent for what ever language they are speaking. the episode where they are on the original unas / gould planet and daniel has to learn unas is such a great daniel episode i really enjoyed the eat no eat no eat no sequence it was really charming. not all languages are earth based so it doesnt always work

the two parter at the end of s4 was great. i love that they do a sort of movie for the final 2 episodes and begining 1-2 episodes of the next season are usually tied to that to. apothis is definatly dead and replicators are maybe in the milky way but they are under the assumption they arent. i currently have osirius and tannith as possible future bad guys dealing with tealcs mind contol as their current priority and replicators as a lurking enemy. i have to wonder how many system lords are left. of the ones we have named they have 1 left. there has to be more or replacements we will see soon. pixaal posted:KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the best part is the semi reversal where daniel gives him a little debbie snack or something.
