I liked Momoa as Ronan. His rough acting felt like it matched up to him being a fish out of water on Atlantis. I think he made the awkward "I don't know what i'm doing" acting work for the "I don't know what i'm doing" character.

For some reason I really hate "A Matter of Time" the black hole episode.

I've seen all of SG1 multiple times and Atlantis at least twice and yet I have only seen 2.5ish episodes of Universe. I get bored and annoyed. Does it ever improve enough that I should try again?

If any of you have not watched "Killjoys" and can find it somewhere you should give it a go. It's a lot of dumb fun with a solid full series plot line.

speaking of cancelled scifi shows i liked. i wish dark matter got more time to shine.

Dark Matter seemed to be going off the rails which could have ended up good or bad. I'm glad they didn't kill Killjoys prematurely.

I remember liking Continuum but nothing about the plot.

Stranger Things started strong but then the fanbase was all YAY NOSTALGIA and they leaned more into that than the plot.

I don't give a gently caress about period accurate pudding give me a good story and i'll somehow suspend disbelief.

i tried watching the first episode and it didnt hook me like the first episode of sg1 did. I may come back to it though after i watch the 2-3 shows i want to catch up on. what we do in shadows reservation dogs and ive heard loudermilk is really good. just gotta get my brothers phone only netflix to watch the third one. I have commercial hulu so i can watch the first two in the mean time

What We Do in the Shadows is pretty solid for 4 seasons and the fifth is just kinda good? I bounced off and on Reservation Dogs a few times but i'm glad I watched it. Loudermilk is mostly excellent but the quality drops in season 3.

I was at a local fish store the other day and they had a tank ornament shaped like a Stargate and it was on sale but $25 was a bit rich for me still. :(

You could get a slightly shorter but fully-featured one for about the same price but probably don't put batteries in it: amazon link

Maybe stuff the battery compartment with tungsten weights or something because it might float.

That is apparently a bundle of unassembled wood parts that fit badly and you need to paint. And then it'd have to be carefully sealed against water. There are aquarium safe LEDs that could probably be swapped in but... No. too much effort for something that's gonna rot in an aquarium no matter what you do. Also we aquarium people use lead weights.

Lead exposure keeps me healthy. Mithridatism rules.

I am watching this for the first time.

There are SO MANY random cameos. The show was made in Vancouver I think? And I'm jealous that you get to watch it for the first time and also eager to see what you think. It's good!

If you asked me to guess a guest star on Stargate I don't think I would have ever said Dom DeLuise. Yeah, comedians show up on sci-fi stuff all the time but DeLuise was on the whackier side. It's like having a Muppet on the show.

If you like sci-fi with Muppets you should try Farscape.

I dunno, seems a bit out there. Wormholes? A big no-nonsense warrior alien mourning his wife and separated from his son? Playful banter between Ben Browder and Claudia Black?

OK I have some basic Stargate questions that might embarrass me but I'm gonna ask anyways:

Does "The Woosh" go both ways when a gate is dialed?
If so, how can the Iris possibly work? Or is the iris only activated once the wormhole is established?
Also, how does the Gate know when to shutdown?

Stargates can stay open for 38 minutes UNLESS you can provide a LOT of power.

What are the shipping names? I would assume:

O'Neal'c (the most common I assume)
Teal'carter (I bet this is the rarest ship)
JackJackson
Danieal'c
Samiel
Danielle
Jackarter

Nobody is so crass as to write Stargate fanfic. It's disrespectful. Any and all ships are kept private so as to make this not weird and full of drama for everyone.

(Frasier/Vala and Hammond/Bra'Tac and Woolsey/anyone obviously)

It's amazing that they don't have any Mental Health people on staff except for that one Psychologist on Atlantis. Frasier just fed people sedatives and hoped.

He was a lot easier to take seriously once he grew out his hair and they stopped putting him in a golden swim cap.



Here he's accessorizing with the Borg 7 of 9 face implant collection. A bold choice, as he must depend upon his worm and coffin to keep the nanobots at bay. The Replicators went after him in order to eradicate the Borg nanobots.
