Stargate SG-1 Discussion

[long_time_DNC]

I hope they continue to make direct-to-DVD Stargate films. I can live on re-runs, but new stuff is always nice.

Rocky, you're right, Daniel's luck is lousy. It didn't even work out with "Kira" either...poor guy.

I am now 1/2 way through season 5 of SG1; this has to be the best season of the first five. Every episode is compelling, and it really ties in lots of old stories. Loving it.

Today I watched 48 Hours, the first episode with Rodney McKay. Geez... he has gotten fat since then And from the beginning he was a fiend for food; and had no social graces. Love it.


And Wormhole-Xtreme was hilarious, particularly at the end -- "You mean this isn't a real show?"

I LOVE SG1. Just ordered season 6.

I wish it were still in production. It was/is a great series, I agree!

I just hope I enjoy the post-original cast episodes as much. Already not looking forward to the Daniel Jackson being gone season.

I just love the chemistry that the original SG1 had. One of the best "away teams" possible. (Sorry, still a trekker at heart).

I liked that season with Jona's (Daniel gone) better than some of the later ones when they lost key actors...

Spoiler

Doc Fraiser, Gen. Hammond, Jack...

Not a spoiler. I already knew that Doc Frasier and Hammond and Jack go away...

Hell, in a day when I was bored a few weeks ago, I went through the entire wikipedia entry on SG1, looking at each season, to get a better sense of where things were going

 

[long_time_DNC]

Yep, I was really bummed when they wrote Doc Frasier out... Bringing Daniel back and adding Vala helped (the interplay between them made me laugh a lot), but Jack's attitude was something I missed a lot.

 

[dfergie]

Yeah, Vala was a gem and Mitchell wasn't that bad, but SG1's command should have stayed with Sam as she had the experience... Too many changes at the top on SGA also

 

[rockymtnhigh]

And I am guessing too much politics above SG1. That Senator/VP Kinsey guy is a prick.

 

[dfergie]

The advisory board with the Doc from Voyager bites also...

Oh yeah, he is horrific.

Although in the fifth season John de Lancie's character was fun. Colonel Simmons. But I kept expecting him to turn into Q.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Glad he got the axe in space too.

They should've left Weir in command on SGA. With Woolsey, I'll keep expecting him to burst into an opus or something.

With Stargate: Continuum coming on BD July 29th, that just might be enough to make me bite-the-bullet and by a new HDTV and a Blu-ray player.

 

[dfergie]

PS3 or add on drive ...

Since I am not planning on replacing my series DVDs with BD, the movie won't be enough to convince me to make the move. But I am looking forward to it. I haven't seen the first yet, as I haven't gotten to the Ori arc yet in the series.


And the real reason I don't want a PS3: if I get one, my kid will take control of the HDTV.

 

[long_time_DNC]

So far as I can tell, Continuum is the only BD release in the Stargate series (not counting the original extended theatrical film release).

I wouldn't get a PS3 either. A drive would be nice...then I could eventually burn stuff to BD...but I haven't decided yet...

Caught the end of Proving Ground, a Season 5 episode... there was a cylon in the SGC ... The Stargate Omnipedia: Characters - Satterfield

 

[long_time_DNC]

She sure was young then, wasn't she... Saw it this afternoon also.

About as young as McKay looked in 48 Hours (same season; coming up tomorrow).

Watching Proving Ground right now...

 

[long_time_DNC]

Wasn't Proving Ground somewhere in the 4th season, or maybe the 5th? I think the series was still on Showtime then.

I dunno...McKay looked young in 48 Hours, but not as young as she looked.
