Oubliette_Red Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 On 1/21/2021 at 5:52 PM, Hyperstrike said: The original movie was about an ancient alien who'd taken over a human body and had been living for thousands of years as a "god". The series tweaks what the alien was and takes a bit of liberty with the material and character depictions. And then meanders through mythology while creating its own. Basically you have a few types of episodes. You have the "Fighting the aliens/gods" episodes which are the primary You have the "Meet the locals/looking for useful stuff" episodes. You have the "Dangerous tech" episodes. You have the "This is Top Secret" episodes detailing the secondary Earth-centric storyline. And every season has a "Clip Show" episode that basically rehashes the season/series. And once the show hits its groove, it does quite well and can be absolutely hilarious. Season 4's "Window of Opportunity" is a "Groundhog Day" knockoff. But it REALLY explores it and is fun as hell. "Right in the middle of my back swing!?!" Colonel O'Neill. Dislike certain sounds?

On the Star Trek scale, I'd place it a step ahead of Voyager, maybe two steps ahead of Enterprise, and about a mile ahead of Discovery. Objectively speaking. *looks for the "shifty eyes" emote without scucess* I tend to use this instead... Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds.

TheOtherTed Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So I snapped at a co-worker today and said "Jaffa! Kree!" Here's hoping it doesn't get back to HR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporalVileTerror Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm still surprised that no one has made a youtube video of "Jaffa! Kree!" where they splice in some Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. / Guardians of the Galaxy / Captain Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haijinx Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Stargate Universe on the other hand had a very strong 1st season, that dropped a bit for the 2nd season then cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikochoro Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The first season of SG-1 is pretty rough, but it became one of my all time favorite shows. I’m not really sure I can pinpoint when it exactly it went from meh to mildly interesting to good to great to “it’s 1am and I have work in the morning, but one more episode shouldn’t hurt”. The show grew on me as did the characters. I think both Atlantis and Universe had better starts. I think a big part of that is that they had already found their groove and had established characters/plot elements to give them strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherTed Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Welp, I'm out. The character Vala completely killed my interest in the series. Friendly advice for any potential writers or film makers out there - lovable rogues just aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherTed Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I dropped out early in Season 9 - a lot farther than I expected, TBH. I never considered it "binge worthy," but once they stopped treating Daniel Jackson as comic relief, I did get a bit more invested in the story. I was kind of already on the ropes when Vala showed up, though. The cast changes were a bit rough, and the whole "The Next Big Bad" trope had gotten old. Ah, well. I figure I've watched enough to keep at least some of my nerd cred, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Door in Teal'c's face is a classic! I always laugh whenever I see this episode Carter : What's eight down? Jackson : Um...label. With those empty spaces I think the answer is supposed to be identification. Thirteen across is sphere. Jack, this is it. O'Neill : Now, see I assume we still speak the same language...mostly. Jackson : Sphere...planet. Label...name. O'Neill : Following...still...you...not! Jackson : Praclarush taonas. I...I think you wrote the name of the planet we will find the Lost City in the crossword. O'Neill : Bit of a jump? Jackson : Why else would you do that? Carter : The clue for seven down is "celestial body" and he wrote Uma Thurman. O'Neill : Yes! Edited June 8, 2021 by ZacKing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
