Flying Jock Straps? I've watched up to the beginning of Season 8 without seeing Flying Jock Straps. Somebody please explain.

Behold, the Ori have mastered the power of the nuclear jock strap:

That's...

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOM

Looks more like a fanny pack.

My understanding of a US fanny pack anyway, like a belt thing with a zippy open bit.

Well, maybe it looks kinda like a British fanny pack too now that you menti... I've said enough.

I can just see what she's thinking while she acts.

"Who's the creepy psychic now, Summer?  Huh?  Who's going to be the star of this movie?  Cut my scenes now bitches!"

[Reply #367 on:]

Damn they almost had an Ori ship to play with, and yey Adria is freaking hot, check out those eyes.

And:
KOLYAAAAAA!!!

[Reply #368 on:]

Ok, been watching long enough that I'm not overly concerned with spoilers anymore; all the really big stuff has been spoiled by callbacks and references from the new eps I've seen.

I know you're all thrilled to death.

Comments

re: very, very old comment from CyberKnight that "it's nice to see a sci-fi show that doesn't take itself too seriously." Very true. I am a fan of most of Trekdom, but the more rabid fans who consistancy-check the technobabble kill me. Funny thing is, SG1's "science" is at least as consistant as Trek, even though they don't seem to try as hard.

My only regret is resisting this show for so long. Ah well, it's almost better watching it late, as I don't have to wait between seasons, etc.

[Reply #369 on:]

I have little interest in that show what-so ever. If there isn't anything else on, don't

[Reply #370 on:]

You're just jealous that you don't have a Flying Jock Strap of Doom.

[Reply #371 on:]

The Ori ships are awesome, their weaponry is amazing, just hope the good guys will come up with something. More Ba'al!! Yum!

[Reply #372 on:]

The Ori ships are way cool, espec the weaponry, shame the good guys cant stand up to it at the mo'. THe Ori chick as everyone calls her is Inara from Firefly and Serenity. More Ba'al!

For the love of Book, SOMEBODY call her companionable!

LOL, I feel the need to post this link here. It may be pretty futile but anyway...

Have Fun : )

[Reply #376 on:]

Yeah, sadly it is futile, but Atlantis is gonna keep going, thank g-d. (dont beleive in one)

[Reply #377 on:]

Thanks for sharing.  So why do you take writing the word so seriously?

And welcome, newbies.  Really, nothing really ever works to save a TV show but buying every piece of merchandise you can get your hands on.  Actually, since this is Sci-Fi, they might give you a miniseries if you bug them enough.

[Reply #378 on:]

So I'm watching The Lost City, part 1.  I don't know who this woman is, but she is not Elizabeth Weir.

 

The clue for 7-down is "celestial body" and he wrote "Uma Thurman."

Atomic weight of blahrilium?

[Reply #380 on:]

Remind me what happens in that one... I go episode nos, not names.

[Reply #381 on:]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD

Big ruttin' space battle over Antartica.

[Reply #382 on:]

Am blank, and I've taken that season off the computer and put it on a disc somewhere....? Only s2,and 3 available for me to look at the touch of a mouse.

[Reply #383 on:]

Oi, why are we missing out this week? Boo-urns.

I know it's a wee bit late for quoting, but, Your'e not nice!

[Reply #385 on:]

The campaign for the saving of SG-1 has really gotten underway with over 1,000,000 fans flooding sci-fi tv with letters. we have even heard michael shanks saying that stargate is not over yet! So i will keep you posted on this one peoples. we love stargate in australia.

[Reply #386 on:]

Oh lord.  I'm not quite a big enough fan to join you guys (I still need to see most of the past four seasons, I'm fine leaving it where it is), but a word of advice: anchovies are surprisingly expensive.  Not quite sure how that applies to you, but it's still true.

[Reply #387 on:]

I don't know, I'm ambivalent to the whole cancellation issue.  I mean, 10 years is an incredible run.  It's not like they're getting the shaft.

Now, if they don't finish the current story, THEN I've got a problem.

[Reply #388 on:]

I've seen every single ep, and I have every single one on disk.... it is a real shame because there is gonna be nothing to replace it. I mean Battlestar sucks, and whilst there will be atlantis, there will be no more Ba'al, and you see that;s what i am crying into my Tequila about.

[Reply #389 on:]

Wait....

Did you just say Battlestar Galactica sucks?...

....Get the fuck off my thread.

[Reply #390 on:]

Uh huh, Watched all of s1 and most of s2 before i got bored. They summed it up on the planet of the robots, "a real chick flick", and im a chick, if they kept going with the killing of cylons and more blood and guts i would have kept watching. too many d and ms. i mean with star wars 3 they've cut it nicely so you can flick past every padme and anikin scene without missing any of the good bits. dont be so sensitive.

[Reply #391 on:]

Daniel and Vala need to do the horizontal monster mash and get it over with.

It was a date!

Meredith! 

[Reply #392 on:]

Ok, I've gotten hooked on this series already. It's a great series. Like most mainstream science shows, though, one thing constantly irritates me: Very.Bad.Science.

I thought Star Trek was a little fast-and-loose with the time travel stories sometimes (What is it about the butterfly effect that writers just don't fucking understand?!)

I have a theory why time travel is impossible. It's a bit unlikely, but it's more than plausible enough for S[TG]. Whenever a time machine is invented, it is invariably used. When it is used, history is changed, and a different reality is created. This cycle repeats itself, until the changes lead to a "stable" universe - meaning one where nobody invents a time machine. notice that in this instance, it wouldn't matter if making a time machine were as easy as making fire, no matter how improbable, you would always end up with a universe were nobody figured out how to rub sticks together.

[Reply #393 on:]

apologetic double-post

ok... SG1 encounters an advanced race. They offer all of their tech in exchange for a continuous supply of heavy water. Then it turns out the advanced race are space nazis.

This is the point when you start lying, cheating, and stealing. You bring them a few thousand gallons of regular water, take the stupendously oversized data storage module, and go home. Then you send your interplanetary ship to the planet, and help their enemies blow the space nazis to kingdom come. Now you have the tech, and an entire planet full of technologically sophisticated allies.

Nah, lets just start killing them, go home and forget all about that planet. That's a much better idea.

:sigh: I'm enjoying the show overall, but christ... they really abuse the hell out of the sg premise. I know there's a whole galaxy to be explored, but they do way too many "disposable planets" imo.

[Reply #394 on:]

ok, so I was watching SGA last night, and all of the sudden there were two McKays.  (One was bad enough imo)  But anyway, did I miss something or does 'entropic cascade failure' not work in the Pegasus Galaxy?  Or is that just an SG1 thing?

[Reply #396 on:]

How dare they cancel a show that I've never had a chance to watch yet, despite it being on all the time!

I just foiund out about its cancellation on Conan.

But don't worry, if anyone can save the show, it's Pierre Bernard.

[Reply #397 on:]

Wooter: don't worry, they'll keep milking the reruns for a long time. I just started watching it about a month ago myself.

[Reply #398 on:]

They're about midway through season 1 on the 6pm reruns on Scifi.

[Reply #399 on:]

Yeah, I've got my dvr recording all of them.

I have a new favorite thing about SG. They're always talking about languages evolving, older/newer versions of languages, languages being derived from other languages, and yet now, everyone in the universe speaks contemporary english.

And I thought Star Trek abused the concept of "convergent evolution"
