Stargate SG-1 really needed to end at Season 8

[Jeff7]

I really think The Ori should have been the bad guys for Atlantis, and The vampires, er I mean Wraith, should have never been.

The Ori story arc was to forced. So they meet a bad guy 100x worse than the Goa'uld, but defeat them in 2 seasons+1 movie.
Stargate Universe should have never happened.

You've got to love how humans constantly manage to outwit or defeat omnipotent life forms. (Sometimes even to the point of committing genocide.)

I think the problem was they weren't making enough money to justify the high budgets. They prefer to be a bottom feeder I guess.

And yet they canceled MST3K. (An unforgivable sin.)
That show's weekly budget consisted of pennies found in the street, an in exchange, they gave humanity the greatest thing ever made. Yes, even better than SG-1, dammit.

Guys were the replicators good antagonists in your opinion?

I guess so. They were SG-1's Borg.
Though I preferred them as the bigger blocky things. The human-form Replicators just weren't as interesting. "Oh look. Human antagonists. What happened, did the special effects budget run out?"

 

[Glitchny]

I can appreciate the sentiment, but I think all the gateheads can agree that the
last half of season 6 and the first half of season 7 are the worst *cough*jonasquinn*cough*

Jonas wasn't that bad, he wasn't great but it was kinda interesting. I find Jaffa tiresome by the end of the series. I really don't care about them outside of Tilk and bretac.

Well they did get a lot of outside help in the end. Although I thought it was rather convenient that they are always able to board and attack whichever ship was currently attacking earth.

They were ok, but they got a little overused. Putting them in the movie was really weak I thought. They weren't a very complex enemy, unlike someone like Anubis or Baal.

Atlantis was just as good IMO, I love McKay and some of the characters in Atlantis. Some episodes just crack me up. Also I liked that it had more space and ship combat, and it showed how humans were using the tech they got from SG-1 missions.

The Atlantis episode where the Doctor(whathisname) dies has one of the most tear jerking endings ever...at least for me anyway.

There are a lot of tear jerkers for me in Atlantis. The Shrine, where Rodney is slowly losing his memories and mind. Sunday (the one you are thinking of) is another really good one. Tao of Rodney in parts also gets me sometimes.

Season 4 and 5 were just really good in general. Vegas, The Shrine, Tao of Rodney, First Contact (2 parter), Tabula Rasa, Last Man, Miller's Crossing (though any time Rodney's sister shows up is a decent episode usually)*, Tracker, Inquisition, and the finale. Though you can totally tell that the story for the finale (Enemy at the Gate) was already written when word came down that they had been cancelled and they had to condense it (wormhole drive? really?)

The second half of SGU was some of the best SciFi that I had seen on american TV in a while, and the whole series definitely deserved more time than it got.

SG1... Seemed to hit its' stride at season 2, and I actually like Jonas Quinn.


I am about to rewatch all 17 seasons aren't I?

*Fun fact, is David Hewlett's actual sister

 

[AdamK47]

it probably would have been better if they did that arc as a new SG-1 series and let it play out longer. but I miss those show, back when scifi was a channel you could actually watch instead of the 24/7 paranormal & tween vampire shit that past across the schedule now.

Actually, that's what the producers wanted. They called it Stargate Command. Sci-Fi channel chose to renew SG-1 into season 9 instead.

What movie did the replicators show up at?

 

[Crono]

The Ori was just Catholicism in space.
Not such an original idea after the whole Egyptian mythology for the Goa'uld.

 

[Glitchny]

What movie did the replicators show up at?

They are in Ark of Truth, the movie that ends the Ori storyline. I wanted more SG-1 vs Ori story and less splitting of the team to fight two different enemies.

 

[Dedpuhl]

Any show that has 200+ episodes will start going downhill at some point. Even then, I enjoyed most of the episodes and it's still one of my favorite shows ever.

Shol'va

 

[Bateluer]

Surprised that there's a few people who could actually stand SGU. I never made it past the mid season 1 break. After watching them squander everything that could have made the show interesting in the first 6 episodes, I didn't even want to watch more. SGU's on Netflix streaming now, and I still can't bring myself to watch it.

Well - if they didn't it would cut the series short

it gets fairly good towards the end, they just fucked themselves with too much mediocrity and unknown direction in the beginning to give themselves enough leeway to reach a sustaining point.

Rick Santorum started the Ori. True story.

As a means to stop the Goa'uld. Forcibly penetrating a person's head from behind is very un-Christian.

Plenty of sci-fi shows are like that.
"Something Ordinary...In SPAAAAAACE!!!!"

I can't help this thinking anymore: What is Star Trek TNG? It's "The Adventures of Middle and Upper Management...In SPAAAAAACE!!!!", complete with meetings, teleconferences, and PowerPoint presentations with simple animations. They don't talk about money, so they've got to be salaried. The top-level guys get the top-notch medical care and extraordinary measures for resuscitation; the peons just get a quick tricorder wave or pulse check and a diagnosis of "He's dead." Management always has some kind of red-shirted fall-guy around to soak up abuse from difficult situations or gunfire.

Word on the street is that that other guy is nuts. Two fries short of a Happy Meal. WACKO!
