Goodbye SG1

[kdavis007]

Well after 10 seasons SG1 is going off the air. <br /><br />It was a good show and I'm going to miss it.

 

[vagueship]

I hope it has a decent ending. And maybe an open ending.

I'm aware SG1 has a huge fanbase but.. it just never did much for me. I won't miss it but I will lament the fact that a long running sci-fi series is about to end.<br /><br />Well, at least there will still be ru-runs for those that liked the series. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

SG1 should have ended after season 8. They had the perfect ending: The stargate was buried in Egypt because the team when back in time and got stranded there and buried it. But, if the gate had not been buried, the team would never have existed, so how did they go back in time to bury it? A perfect paradox, and a perfect ending, with everyone fishing in the pond.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

I'm mad because after about season 5 SG1 sucked major ass. That and the fact that on any given day at any given time you can turn on sci-fi channel and the odds are very high that you will see some iteration of SG.<br /><br />SG1<br />SG Atlantis<br />SG the next penetration<br />SG bakersfield<br />SG the 13th, Jason's wormholes<br />SG on Elm Street<br />etc<br />etc<br />etc<br />

What really pisses me off is that Sci-Fi is now showing crap like "ghost hunters", "myth busters" and WTH??? professional wrestling??? what the hell is with that?<br /><br />Surely there is more actual science fiction fare available than most of the crap they show these days.<br /><br />given the choice, I'd rather watch SG1.1 than the 10th rerun of some lame ass volcano, tornado, hurricane, move starring Eric Estrada and a cast of nobodies.

"given the choice, I'd rather watch SG1.1 than the 10th rerun of some lame ass volcano, tornado, hurricane, move starring Eric Estrada and a cast of nobodies. "<br /><br />Given a choice I'd rather watch a real science show about any of those subjects.<br /><br />I thought SG1 was OK, but I wasn't into it.<br />But it was good to see McGuyver again <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

<font color="yellow">anvel - Try to avoid Special Unit 2. You might be forced to claw out your eyeballs if you see more than one half of one episode.</font><br /><br />So, one Friday night I was sitting around with not much to do and felt like settling in for a nice couple of hours watching a movie/TV or something... I checked the listings and, lo and behold, the Sci-Fi channel was introducing a new series. The premise sounded interesting.. a special unit devoted to taking care of all those things that go "bump" in the night. I thought to myself, well now.. here goes something that has potential... sort of a secret organization with a Kolchak'esque flair... might be fun!<br /><br />I turned the channel, sat back and was bombarded with pure garbage. Somehow, "The Producers" had moved their get-rich-quick scheme to cable TV and I was being violated by it. It took amazing courage, willpower and strength to fight against the current of stupidity that was gushing out of my television, but I finally won against the undertow and was able to turn the channel to something better.. like watching the British House of Commons on C-Span... at least that is entertaining.<br /><br />How.. please tell me.. how can you totally screw up such a simple and easily exploitable concept that badly? I swear, it's mind-boggling to hold, for even a second, in the belief that the producers of that show actually envisioned it to be what eventually winded up oozing onto the screen. It's nigh impossible to make something that terrible if you're not doing it on purpose. It's definitely not something that could have slipped under the wire either. Nobody can ignore something that has a "Freaking Stupid" sign on it that big.. Someone, somewhere, needs to be fired.. out of a large cannon. That show made me throw up a little.. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

Ok, now I'm actually curious. Is this something that can be funny in an MST3K sense? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong><font color="#ff0000">Vote </font><font color="#3366ff">Libertarian</font></strong></p> </div>

I had another thread where I asked you all what I should watch next on SciFi channel and SG1 was one of the strong recommendations.<br /><br />So I sat down and started to watch an episode. In it the proud squiggly, raised golden motif on their foreheads people and the black tattooed, squiggly motif on their foreheads people came through the Stargate seeking refuge and a golden motif squiggly guy and black motif squiggly girl were in love and going to get married. I think the boy was the son of the placid, proud "wo hoh, check out my wondeful forehead" guy that stars in the film.<br /><br />It was so smarmy and ridiculous, I could not even watch one epidsode.<br /><br />(I'm guessing I chose a bad one to start with!) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<font color="yellow">larper - Ok, now I'm actually curious. Is this something that can be funny in an MST3K sense?</font><br /><br />Welll.... uh.. no. It's so bad, I don't think you could even make a college drinking game out of it. It's just that bad. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

 

[vagueship]

I'm sure the cast members are worried all the way to the bank.

I agree with the exception of "myth busters". Great show. I want to be a "myth buster" when I grow up! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#3366ff"><strong>_______________________________<em> </em></strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"</em>If you are surrounded by those who constatly agree with you, then you're in an intellectual vacuum.  If you feel like trying to make a difference, you have to BE different.  How can you do that without interacting with those who are different from yourself?"</font></p><p><font color="#0000ff">-  a_lost_packet_</font></p> </div>

A lot of SG-1's appeal was lost to me when Richard Dean Anderson left the show.<br /><br />Not that I dislike Ben Browder or Claudia Black, but I don't find it pleasurable that a Farscape reunion was conducted on the set of SG1.<br /><br />I like the actors on the show. Sam Carter was always that "girl next door" that we all might desire, and she had BRAINS which made her off-the-hook sexy.<br /><br />But MacGyver was the glue, in my opinion. The final episode is on in about 30 minutes, and I only hope that Jack O'Neill saves the Universe one more time.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012..

<font color="yellow">But MacGyver was the glue, in my opinion. The final episode is on in about 30 minutes, and I only hope that Jack O'Neill saves the Universe one more time.</font><br /><br />Well he didn't. However they did leave it open....again... I had heard a rumor that the producers of SG1 were going to try and get a different network to host SG1...maybe.....???<br /><br />In anycase Farewell SG1. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ffff00"><p><font color="#3366ff">I have an answer for everything...you may not like the answer or it may not satisfy your curiosity..but it will still be an answer.</font> <br /><font color="#ff0000">"Imagination is more important then Knowledge" ~Albert Einstien~</font> <br /><font color="#cc99ff">Guns dont kill people.

There will not be anymore SG1 as a series on network TV. They are however working on two straight to DVD movies. The first one should help close up the Ori part of the show.<br /><br />Also Carter is Moving to Atlantis. Not sure how this will go, gut it will still be nice to see her around.<br /><br />They are also developing a third series. No idea what it will be like or about really, but they do want to keep the franchise going. Would actually love to see a full length feature movie with all the original cast + plus Ben and Claudia.

 

[vagueship]

Absolutely no imagination. It's like they were short handed during production.

I want to be a "myth buster" when I grow up! </font><br /><br />I didn't say "myth busters" was a bad show, only that it doesn't qualify as Sci-Fi. Put it on the discovery channel or USA. I like myth busters too, I love how they take the myth to the very extreme limits imaginable to see if it just might work under some extraordinary circumstance.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0268094/<br /><br />doesn't seem that bad, and, also, it was cancelled because of copyright infridgement. Also, it ran back in 2001 something. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>
