Where are all the Stargate Fans!

[billieo]

I just joined up on this site and looked through several pages of posts in the Science Fiction area and there were no posts about either Stargate show....Yikes!<br /><br />

I killed them all. Stargate sucks ass. A very good movie and a decent TV show for the first 4-5 seasons. After that pure CRAP

There are plenty of Stargate fans around and several Stargate related threads.<br /><br />Personally, I can't see how that show is/was so popular, but some people just love it. The movie was great, the series might have been decent.. but then the novelty wore off and it didn't have much more to offer, IMO.<br /><br />But, welcome to SDC! I'm sure you'll find some Stargate fans here. Who knows, you may even find fans of other shows/movies/themes that you will enjoy as well! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

Love stargate here except for the last season of sg-1 with the Cam and Vala idiocy.<br /><br />Current season of Atlantis is promising but couple week episodes so far.<br /><br />Stargate threads usually surface around here about once every 6 to 12 months. This is probably the one for the year <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />.<br /><br />

Stargate SG1 and Atlantis are my religion. Its the best show ever. I have all 10 seasons on DVD and all 3 of Atlantis. <br />I was so depressed when scifi killed SG1.<br /> Oh and LSBD Stargate doesnt suck You didnt kill all the fans, if you tried to kill me I would kick you in the Nuts (as Cartman says)Hah hah. <br /> I am burning for the two movies that are coming out in 2008.<br />Jack O'Neill for President!!!<br />Long live the Jaffa...<br />Bow before your God LSBD!!!!!<br />Muuhhhaaa.... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Well, I am glad to see that there is a small group here who like Stargate.... personally, I liked SG-1 best....<br /><br />SGA just won the People's Choice Award for the Sci-Fi category....and although not as good as SG-1, it is at least a watchable program in the wasteland that has become television...

Hell, I was just catching up on a few of the episodes online, even as you were posting that. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

I liked Beckett. I thought he was a good foil for McKay.<br /><br />Not certain about Weir. My own suspicion is that they found it cumbersome and a divergence from the setup of SG-1 - with a military leader at the top and then the socially inept scientist subordinate. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

 

[jsmoody]

I loved the movie and loved the SG1 series...it is getting a little stale now though...but I still watch it sometimes. Never cared much for Atlantis, I'll watch it on a rare occasion if it isn't too silly and there's nothing else on... The original series was good and it's still okay, maybe I'm getting jaded or something..... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> No amount of belief makes something a fact" - James Randi </div>

Out of interest, what was the conspiracy theory nuts reaction to the USAF backing the show and two air force chiefs of staff appearing in it? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Atlantis sucked crap straight from the pox'ed warthogs anal passage. Then tounge kissed itself without cleaning its teeth first.<br /><br />(I didn't like it)<br /><br />It couldn't make up its mind what it was supposed to be, other than a posers vehicle.

 

[shadow735]

sorry EtAvaunt that you cant enjoy the show I love it, your loss I guess, anvel what are you talking about.<br />Hey guys guess where I will be tonight, at home watching Stargate Atlantis and drinking some Guinness!!!!<br /><br />You guys just need a new ZPM and you will enjoy the show as it is now you are drained and cant experience the joy of Stargate. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I just spent an unconscionable amount of time trying to find out why Paul McGillion left the show (cause I liked him too!)....and I still do not know....I will ask around and see if anyone actually knows the reason. <br /><br />Maybe he left SGA in order to hook up with the Star Trek franchise?????<br /><br />(Several hours later....just found this blurb in Wikipedia re Gillion:<br />"He was initially cast as a recurring guest, but his character appeared so frequently in the show's first season that he was promoted to main character for season two and three, and reverts back to a recurring character for season 4....") Phew, glad I finally found out why he left.... <br /><br />As to Amanda Tapping....I agree 100% that she has not grown into her new role as expected which is a shame....she was tremendous on SG-1 but for some reason has changed her personality drastically to become rather quiet, self-effacing and totally unlike her character on the old show....she was much more of a leader on the old show....seems like McKay is running Atlantis now anyway.....<br /><br />By the way, you can now get Stargate iTunes....Yay!<br /><br />Stargate (the movie)<br />Stargate SG-1<br />Stargate Atlantis<br /><br />Enjoy folks!<br /><br />And as always....Have A Very Stargate Day!<br /><br />Respectfully submitted by:<br />BillieO<br />An Official "Team Stargate" Member<br />

My opinions was that the series Jumped the Shark when the Asgard appeared. They are the source of all of the Gee-Whiz tech-toys, and hence why the series changed.<br /><br />They should have remained Gate explorers and the guys in the White Hats, helping the besieged and oppressed. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

<font color="orange"><br />I would like to know how the stargates <br />got started on other planets when there were no other <br />gates ? <br /><br /></font><br />Its called hyperdrive, the ancients created the gate system, they had been around for millions of years, using hyperdrive they can travel around and deposit the gates on each planet they wanted to travel to thru the gate system. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Replying to the wrong poster. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />That follows a simple technological progression. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Question....<br /><br />What does "Jumped the Shark" mean?

 

[dragon04]

I really loved SG-1. Until Richard Dean Anderson made is exit, that is.<br /><br />Jack O'Neill to me, was the glue that held the show together. I guess for the "uninitiated", Bringing Ben Browder and Claudia Black onboard was okay, but having been a Farscape fan, its appeal to me centered a lot around the interaction between Browder and Black.<br /><br />SciFi probably figured that if they translated that into SG-1, that it might degrade the show, but certain chemistry can't be recovered or substituted for.<br /><br />And as much as I adore Amanda Tapping (she's the ultimate "girl-next-door"), she doesn't have the juice to carry SG-1 OR SGA, IMO.<br /><br />The final season of SG-1 was almost work for me to watch. I personally think it would have been better to let that series go after RDA's departure.<br /><br />At least in my opinion, Jack O'Neill WAS SG-1, and no substitute would do.<br /><br />By way of comparison, as a fan of the original Star Trek, I can't imagine another Captain of the Enterprise that was not James T. Kirk.<br /><br />I watch SGA, and have actually come to enjoy it to a degree, but I think the producers are missing an opportunity by not tying it in to happenings back home on Earth and its situation.<br /><br />I think the whole Replicator story line leads the show into an inescapable dead end. But I've become fond of some of the actors.<br /><br />John Sheppard has a Jack O'Neill feel to him. Rodney McKay has grown on me. Tayla.... Oh, Tayla. What a total babe. A hot woman with her stuff totally together.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>

The term originated from the TV show Happy Days.<br /><br />In one episode, they had Fonzi water-skiing and jumping over a netted area with a shark inside. I believe it was the result of a "coolness" dare or some such. Of course he made it.<br /><br />At that point it became obvious that they had run out of plots and were just doing whatever to keep the show afloat. When there is a key point where it becomes painfully obvious that this has happened to other shows, substituting meaningless action shots or ridiculous scenarios for plots, the show is said to have "Jumped the Shark" and basically is the death knell of the show.
