Stargate SG-1 is Evil (aka SG-1 = Crack)

Defiant · Post by **Defiant** » 2004-02-29 01:55pm

So I've managed to avoid watching SG-1 for almost 6 years. I usually avoid series based on movies because they always suck. I dodge it, weave around it, and basically stick my head in the sand whenever SG-1 came up.

Finally, some friends of mine are in the process of buying all the DVDs, and they tell me that I should at least give the show a chance. So I take Seasons 1,2 home with me and watch them.

Now, I am hopelessly addicted. Let this be a lesson, don't be afraid to give anything a chance. Of course, now I that I've finished season 2, I'm like a crack addict looking for his next fix. I'll be getting season 3 in about a week, but I can't wait that long. My hands shake as I type this because I'm going through withdrawal.

If the rest of the series is even better than seasons 1,2, then I am truly screwed.

You're fucked

The following seasons will get exponentially better.

I haven't seen the older seasons, but I've started watching it on Sci-Fi...

I am right there with ya. I started watching Stargate on Sci-Fi about a month ago, and now everytime it is Monday I go around smiling and screaming, "ITS STARGATE MONDAY!!!!" I more then likely will try and get some of the seasons. Which are the best?

Wait until you see season 3 and 4. You'll be so high you won't wanna stop taking the drug.

Howedar · Post by **Howedar** » 2004-02-29 03:34pm

Yes, I think season 4 was probably the high point. Not that there has been a particularly low point.

From seasons 2 onwards they just keep getting better.

Of the completed seasons, I think season 6 would be the lowest point for the show so far. But even season 6 of SG-1 is a lot better than the best of Enterprise

Season 4 has "Window of Opportunity", thus it is the best season ever.

Any half-serious half-comedic self poking episode (like Wormhole Xtreme!) is good. All of those episodes like that.

I'd say season 6 was the second best season in SG1 after season 4 personaly. Jonas rocked, Daneil had a few episodes but they were GREAT episodes, Jonas turned Teal'c from someone who occasionly raises an eyebrow and says 'indeed' to a major character again, we got to see the X303 and X-302...

Season 7 has been better then I thought it would be...but season 8 worries me to HELL given what we have heard confirmed about it.

God I think there were something like 200 Cameos in that episode from SG1 people, MGM people. Preaty much all the writers and directors were on it at some point, they poked fun at past SG1 episodes and decisions on the show....frigen amazing episode.

And lets not forget the wonky scientist dudes who are obsessed with Star Trek, one of whom is played by the same guy who plays Phlox.

They feel sorry for the actors and want to give them parts on a real T.V. show?

I think alot of the shows producers are Sci-fi fans. There have been alot of references to other Sci-Fi franchises throughout the series (The attack on Anubis' supership in the second ep. of season 7 comes to mind.)

Jack is always referencing phasers, etc when talking about the fighter plane, too. I think they're all big scifi geeks. They've got to be.

I'm watching Point of No Return right now.

He wanted to name the X-303 "Enterprise". He also handels the technobabble quite amusingly.

Carter: *talking about technical details about making the ashrac visible by using the naquitah generator with Malik*
O'Neil: "Are you saying you can make the invisible guy visible?"
Carter: "Yes"
O'Neil: "That's all I need."

justifier · Post by **justifier** » 2004-02-29 10:43pm

I think the SG-1 writers know people hate technobabble, so Jack's purpose is to basicly tell the audience "Yeah we hate it too, but here is the plot device it's creating"

Yeah I think all the SG-1 members are big sci-fi junkies, especially Teal'c.

"Teal'c, you've seen it, what, seven tim-"
"Eight."

It's because they're character actors, so they do a lot of parts for different shows/films.

Howedar: It's actually nine times.
