You can go quite far and you don't need a car or even a ship (Stargate)

Wait, Michael was kind of a badass, why did he turn a little whiny in that episode?

[Reply #122 on:]

I figured they'd be back, the producers of this series don't seem to be capable of actually killing anyone or anything off completely and permanently.

The Tollans?

Fixed.

Janet?  Or are you counting Ripple Effect against her?

I'm counting ripple effect against her.

Not so much because it's reasonable, as because it defends my position.

They killed off the Asgard, Weir, the Ori, Baal, Apophis, Anubis, Yu, the Tok'ra, and they were some of the best pro-and-an-tagonists.

No, no, no, yes, yes, no, yes, wtf

Well, just seen Continuum. Loved it.

[Reply #125 on:]

Is it just me or is tnuk the biggest stargate fan around here?

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that I must say, great show!

[Reply #126 on:]

It's just you.

Is it just me or are Nixorbo the biggest stargate fans around here?

[Reply #128 on:]

It is possible. I didn't know nixorbo was a group though.

[Reply #129 on:]

They aren't?

Sorries to all Nixorbos.

[Reply #130 on:]

WE ARE THE NIXORBO.  WE ARE MANY.

[Reply #131 on:]

I knew it! Take that Gopher!

Stargaters rise to ascension.. this has been lying here for over an hour.. just press post.. and don't care if the spelling is wrong.

I never said he wasn't, I just said I didn't know he was. They was. Were. Whatever.

[Reply #133 on:]

So the ranks aren't everthing?

:P

[Reply #134 on:]

Of course they are. All objects and ideas which appear not to be ranks either really are about ranks or don't really exist at all.

Continuum was amazing for two reasons: Jack, and F-15's rolling in for a heroic last stand against death gliders. Entire rest of the movie was bonus.

Must have watched stargate season 1-8 4+ times by now, love the show so much. But feel like it REALLY should have ended at 8, reckoning was the perfect story ending, threads was the perfect fan ending, and mobius was the perfect way for the cast to finish off a great show!

It just wasn't the same without RDA season 9 and 10... besides missing him it felt like the Ori were a pretty terrible bad guy. Its like the writers came to work one day and someone told them "yeah, so were back on, we need a new bad guy by noon". The Goa'uld were amazing, great idea, so much potential from all the ancient civilizations, and an epic 8 year arc from introduction to defeat. You could really get a sense of SGC's progression through the seasons, how we learned more and more as they went. Don't have that with the Ori.

That and Teal'c dual wielding P90's... WTF?

[Reply #136 on:]

I didn't actually start watching the show seriously until season 8, and season 9 was over by the time I'd caught up on all the old eps, so I was insulated from the change. I ultimately agree the earlier seasons were better, I just don't feel as strongly about it. There were some great moments in seasons 9 and 10 tho, even if they did keep writing for Jack to the point of putting constant simpsons references in cam's dialog.

[Reply #137 on:]

The best SG1 season was 7.  Lost City was simply epic.

Seasons 9 and 10,while enjoyable, I refer to alternately as SG1.2 (SG1.1 being Jonas) and Fargate.

I heartily agree. Also,

I totally agree. But,

Go to hell. Mobius was a terrible excuse for a finale. Unending was vastly superior.

It just wasn't the same without RDA season 9 and 10...

I mostly agree. But I feel it suffered more from the inclusion of Claudia Black than the absence of Richard Dean Anderson. I hate Vala. Katesh on the other hand is a better character.

And finally,

Is it just me or is tnuk the biggest stargate fan around here?

Maybe fifth. Gopher and Nix tie for the top two spots. Nix is maybe ahead by the skin of his pants.

There must be others here who are bigger SG nerds than me as well.

I'm really more of an Amanda Tapping fan than I am a Stargate fan.

[Reply #139 on:]

Hey I'm a good fan, I starter the original SG thread, I demand recognition... and some cookies!

[Reply #140 on:]

yeah, I'd have to object to being classified as tied for #1 with Nix too, I think Nix is a bigger fan than I am.  So faze, you can have my spot, I'll take 34d or 4th, just ahead of tnuk.

[Reply #141 on:]

I *do* have the SG1 Arkset.

Hive ships don't have Burger Kings, what did they expect the Wraith to eat once they got their digestive systems back? Haha.

[Reply #146 on:]

And that's why you don't give spaceships cancerAIDS.  Otherwise you get cruddy CG ship crashing segments.

[Reply #147 on:]

When it broke up it was cool, and they had some decent water stuff when the rose the city though, not sure why it didn't look the best in that ep.

[Reply #148 on:]

I'm rewatching S9 at random. Just watched the death of Prometheus. For some reason it seems like a really lame way to get rid of the ship, having it blowing up in space. I really think that an uncontrolled descent into the atmosphere should have been the final effects shot.

[Reply #149 on:]

costs a lot more that way.

[Reply #150 on:]

Also, it's been done.

[Reply #151 on:]

Oh screw you both.

[Reply #152 on:]

At least twice

Go to hell. Mobius was a terrible excuse for a finale. Unending was vastly superior.

Unending made me want to puke my face off, it really did.

Mobius wasn't supposed to be considered a finale, reckoning was the end of the story. Threads was exactly what the title suggests, tying up the loose ends. That's the end of the series, Mobius was bonus!

Mobius was a way for the cast to go out on a high note, a funny makes little sense time traveling adventure. It wasn't there to add to the story, or to further any characters, or to act as the grand finale. It was there for the fun of it, something I've always loved Stargate for was the ability to poke fun at themselves. After 8 years of amazing show a "Sam Jack Teal'c and Daniel" adventure was the perfect way to go! Resetting the characters back to their "Children of the Gods" selves, getting General Hammond back, it was a tribute to the 8 years!

And then they went and ruined it by making more.

[Reply #155 on:]

Moebius didn't have Credence Clearwater Revival

[Reply #156 on:]

Moebius was good Probably in my top 5. But it was a terrible note to bow out on. They should have placed it mid-season.

A really great way to end with a "fun" episode would have been something in the vein of Season 4's window of Opportunity. Still one of my top 3.

[Reply #157 on:]

Hah. Just noticed this. Nixorborg!

Another Entity type episode.
What is it now, 2 episodes left?

[Reply #159 on:]

It's either 2+finale or 1+final, I forget.

Also, merry Christmas:
