Re: Stargate

Yeah, it's kind of been their thing.

You know who had really really good episode titles? Battlestar Galactica.

Thumbs up Thumbs down

Re: Stargate

If only they had spent as much time writing the episodes as they did writing their titles.

Re: Stargate

Oi.

I will not stand for Battlestar badmouthing.

Quibble with it all you like, but (a) in the context of its time and (b) taken as a body of work, that shit was tight.

Re: Stargate

Negative.

Battlestar is exemplary of the idea of wasting a great premise by not having your story planned out.

Re: Stargate

And yet, somehow, it was still a really great story.

So nyah.

Negative.

The theme: "Technology is bad! Reject it!" *Yawn*

The ultimate justification of the magic bean: "Uhhhhh....God did it!"

Re: Stargate

Yawn.

Brian, my friend from another time zone. The theme of the show was "What is it that makes us — rather than them, whoever them happens to be — worthy of survival?"

The finale answered that question this way: "Learn from your mistakes."

I will let you slide if you say you just don't buy that, for whatever reason. But to deny that that's what was going on, when the writers practically tattooed that question and answer on the actors' foreheads, would be tough for me to accept.

Amusingly, this apparently comes up often enough that "stargate black hole episode" is a Google suggestion.

Just got to Matter of Time. That was pretty awesome. Blows any Voyager episode with a black hole out of the water.

Re: Stargate

Big fan of Stargate, right from the very first movie. I liked most of the series, though once they the Orii came along the mythology of the show was getting quite burdened. However, I loved that after years of addressing the old religions they sort of tackled Christianity/Islam via proxy.

I confess Atlantis didn't do much for me - it just seemed they repeated the same formula but in another location with a different enemy.

But SGU is pretty good so far.

Man, Walter (unscheduled off world activation!) just completely disappears after the first bit of season two, doesn't he?

Re: Stargate

Watching '1969.'

Am I supposed to buy that Hammond has known about this from the beginning of the series?

EDIT: ANOTHER CLIP SHOW ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Re: Stargate

I've been rewatching Stargate SG-1 a lot lately, thanks to the dearth of summer programming. As a result, I've started trying to convince Trey to give the show a try. And the more I rewatch, the more emphatic I become about it.

And I encourage all of you to join me.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

Re: Stargate

Been seeing a lot of it lately.

Not exactly sure why you want anyone else to watch it. Keep your weird sci-fi urges to yourself, until one day when we find you, dick in your hand, hanging dead by the neck from twisted together TNG artwork with a toppled stack of SG-1 DVD's inches below your feet.

Unless the notion of you masturbating while choking yourself with scifi franchises is something you're actually concerned about.

For now, I'm not watching Stargate for purely business reasons.   

Someday I hope to be able to explain that statement.  And watch Stargate.

Umm is there BSG badmouthing in here? Making sure no one needs to get cracked in the mouth.

Re: Stargate

Alright, this is a Stargate thread, so let's keep it clean in here. But this was bound to happen, so let's go duke it out over Battlestar.

EDIT: Link.

There is no such thing as too much, only not-funny-enough-to-justify-itself. Guilty.
