Thread: Stargate SG-1 Discussion

The difference was that Showtime had stronger shows back then. Other than Weeds and The L Word, nothing has taken off. Brotherhood is getting good reviews, but it is another Huff that wins over the critics, but not enough eyeballs show up.

Anybody know anything about the comment in
this CNN article:

"...spent its first five years on Showtime -- which annoyed the show's producers by demanding full-frontal nudity -- before migrating to Sci Fi...."

I've never heard of this, but I haven't watched much Stargate. Anyone here know anything about it? Nudity in Stargate? That's one way to improve ratings- or kill them.

But that same article also says: "...Producer MGM is exploring the possibility of taking the series to yet another outlet...."

So I doubt they'd make the season ender a series ender. Not while there's hope for selling future episodes, which would also boost syndication.

The first episode had nudity...

When will they release Atlantis Season 2 on DVD?? I finally watched season 1 last week and I am COMPLETELY hooked on that show now!! I've been recording season 2 on the 622 but I don't want to watch it until I watch season 2!

I am glad that Atlantis has been renewed. Its one of my favorites (and its not like my avatar does not suggest that! )

The future of Stargate is in question today, as
SCI FI Channel

has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1,
Multichannel News


reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone
two-hundredth episode


on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I believe the only nudity was in the first episode where Sha're was paraded in front of Apophus. There was first a sergeant from the SGC that was kidnapped, but she was never shown from the front or from the waist down. Only her bare back. This was in the Showtime version that Sha're was then paraded around nude briefly. In later versions that showed on SciFi or in syndication, the scene was cut after the sergeant was killed and Sha're was never shown nude.

Here is a series of stills from the original version:

I have been waiting for season 2 to come to dvd as well; the first season on dvd was very well done.

But the episodes now on Sci Fi are from season 3, not season 2. It is in some syndication too - the Denver FOX (I think) shows old Atlantis episodes on Sunday afternoons.

Your best bet, if you can't wait, is to start downloading divx versions and watching them on either a divx dvd player or your computer. Not quite as good, but it works.
