Stargate (coming through Amazon)
- Thread starter ShiWarrior
- Start date
Funnily enough the Stargate film was the first film to ever make me cry. Though in my defence I must've been about 6 or 7 at the time. What a fanny
I don't really care for most of them but Stargate SG1 is a good time.
Stargate Atlantis was a great premise and a cast who really got into the spirit of it but I didn't like the development of it much - was loads of wasted potential. Some individual episodes are amazing.
SGU had to many things dragging down what was actually a really good show, the communication stones, too much social drama and at times chasing BSG.
Nailing the perfect Stargate is going to be difficult it needs a careful balance of humour and cheesy 90s style but with a well developed, more serious, over arcing story.

Yes. The filming style of Universe was very, similar to BSG which at the time was becoming quite a hit itself.

Re watching Atlantis just now, second time fully around and a few special Epps a few more times than that, love SG1 and Atlantis, did a whole watch through of SG1 last year.
Hopeful for a new series but also a bit wary.

I kinda hope they have the sg1 cast. Although they will be a bunch of geriatrics now
Most of them are still doing pretty well - only RDA is kind of past it now and sadly some like Don S Davis have passed away.
EDIT: The great thing with Stargate though is you can bring in another cast, if it is done right and the right actors, there is so much potential ground that fits within the theme like with Atlantis and Universe.
It would be kind of cool to see like a new set of recruits, 1-2 generations after SG1, into the Stargate program, without previous knowledge of it, and following them through the early days and development to when **** gets real. But it would need to be done properly so it wasn't cringe worthy.

I'm all for a new series of Stargate.
I'd love to know who the new 'Big Bad' would be though as the Goa'uld / Replicators / Ori were all defeated in SG1 and as of 2009, Atlantis was sitting at the bottom of Francisco Bay and the Wraith were back in the Pegasus Galaxy.
I'd also love to finally learn more about the Furlings, its mad that we never came across any Furling settlements or learnt anything about them considering they were one of the 4 Great Races of the galaxy. Even the Atlantians left things behind when they fled the galaxy.

I assume reboot ?
I think it got killed to death yes the last ori story was memorable but a big anticlimax after the un dead "Gould" guy
Atlantis took an age to get going but was cool. The eternal hunt for ZPMs lol....
Universe. Too much of a slow burn and too "serious" but completely awesome potential.
What a forking great franchise tbh.....
Some of the best sci-fi characters too.
The Asgard asssguard lol
Very good .
New series gonna suck . Lol

New series will be amazing LGBTQ will be fully presented as will every diversity going, with any luck one will be in a wheel chair

Sg1 went downhill when RDA stopped being part of SG1. Which I think is a similar time to the Ori as well.
Still one of my all time favourite shows, loved the episode where he gets all the knowledge and first meets the Asgard.

IIRC SG:U they actually had at least one person who had as a major part of their job the task of trying to maintain continunity and keep track of things like how they were using the supplies from one episode to the next. I think very specifically so they didn't end up with a Voyager situation where they had a very limited and totally irreplaceable number of phon torpedoes and made a huge thing about it early on, then burned through about 10 times that many without ever resupplying, same with their shuttle craft where they seemed to manage to replace them repeatedly.
I was enjoying SG:U and IIRC it was something like the writers strike that really killed it off

The O'Neill. The most powerful Asgardian ship ever....
That was so good genius writing
Richard Dean Anderson ruled Stargate.
Their farscape actor dump was pretty inspired too.
Damn Stargate is really good...

To be fair I'd watch a SG:U reboot if they had the same quality of actors and attention to detail, etc. but did away with some of the social stuff - a little bit goes a long way but it became too heavy, communication stones and some of the weird religious/spiritual stuff which crept in for a few episodes where I think they were chasing BSG, they did end it just as it was really finding its stride I felt - I rewatched some of it recently and it stands up much better than my opinion of it at the time, if you skip past certain stuff.
