.thread news

UPDATE: April 27, 2008 After woefully neglecting my thread duties for several months, I've created a new poll, updated the series information, updated the SG-1 and SGA season guides, fixed a few embarrassing spelling errors in the character guides posts, created a handy little signature code that you only need to copy and paste to link back to the thread, and generally tried to pretty everything up a bit. I've also rearranged the first ten posts so that the series info is closer to the top and the old poll post is nearer the bottom. It makes more sense this way.

UPDATE: April 21, 2007 I'm done merging the two Stargate threads into this one.

UPDATE: March 4, 2007 1000 Posts!

UPDATE: March 1, 2007 Yay! This board is officially official.

.about the stargate series

Following the successful movie, Stargate, released in 1994, a spin off tv series was created. After a ten season run, SG1 was canceled in 2007. Subsequently, two direct-to-dvd videos have been produced. Stargate: The Ark of Truth was recently released in March 2008 and Stargate: Continuum is expected in July 2008.
scifi.com
Step through the stargate with SG-1, a team of soldiers and scientists, as they travel instantaneously to other planets to explore, forge alliances, defuse crises, establish trade, investigate ancient mysteries, and defend Earth from such hostile forces as the Goa'uld, the Replicators, and the Ori.

For eight years, from their base at the U.S. Air Force's Stargate Command in the Rocky Mountains, Gen. Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), Lt. Col. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), and alien warrior Teal'c (Christopher Judge) have braved everything that the universe has thrown at them, from interstellar war and evil twins to death and ascension.

But changes came to SG-1 as it began its ninth year of fearless service to Earth. New faces joined the team: Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) will try to fill the very big shoes of former SG-1 leader O'Neill (who is now in charge in Homeworld Security), while Gen. Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) must adapt to the unique challenges of running Stargate Command, a posting unlike any other the military has to offer.

As the team embarks upon its tenth year, Vala (Claudia Black), a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter, joins them in their battle to defend the galaxy from the holy war of the Ori. Meanwhile, relations between the Jaffa and Earth continue to be strained by the political maneuvering of Gerak (Louis Gossett Jr.), a Jaffa leader whose rise to power has put him into conflict with Teal'c.

Stargate Atlantis is the very successful spin-off of SG1. Despite the canceling of Stargate SG-1, SGA is still in production.
Quote:
When a secret base abandoned by the Ancients — the original builders of the stargates — is found buried in the ice of Antarctica, the Stargate Atlantis team is recruited for the most daring stargate mission yet: a one-way expedition to the distant Pegasus galaxy.

There the Stargate Atlantis team encounters a number of primitive human civilizations ... as well as the Wraith, a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere.

The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson), a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the go-with-your-gut bravado of her military counterpart, Maj. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), a courageous and gifted pilot. Rounding out the team are Lt. Aiden Ford (Rainbow Sun Francks), the enthusiastic young officer who becomes Sheppard's second-in-command; and Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), a clever and quick-witted astrophysicist with previous experience at Stargate Command. The team is befriended by Pegasus galaxy native Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), a beautiful young leader among the Athosian people, with whom the Atlantis team has forged an uneasy alliance against the Wraith.

Rounding out Team Atlantis are Ronon Dex (Jason Momoa), a human native to the Pegasus galaxy who has fought the Wraith for seven years in defense of his planet; and, from Earth, Col. Steven Caldwell (Mitch Pileggi), the commander of Earth's newest intergalactic battle cruiser, the Daedalus.

It's finally open!

And to kick it off:

My Favorite List:
Season: Hmmm... I really liked the first season, but the second and fifth were excellent also. Not to mention the third and fouth. Oh, and seasons six and eight were really good too. *sighs* I just can't choose! They're all to good.

Episode:
1. Window of Opportunity - I absolutely loved how this turned out. It was just so funny. My favorite scenes would have to be either when Jack kissed Sam or when Teal'c learned to juggle.
2. Zero Hour - This was so great. I really liked Walter in it. He was like Jack's babysitter.
3. Urgo - Also hilarious, though I wish SG-1 could have kept their memories.

Character: Jack

Goa'uld: Baal and Lord Yu

Pairing: Jack/Sam

Quote: "The war with Canada?" - Teal'c

My Least Favorite List:
Seasons:
1. Nine -Though I really like Vala, the first couple episodes didn't seem as great as the other seasons.
2. Seven - I didn't hate this season, but it didn't really click with me.

Episodes: All the flash-back episodes. I did like the endings of Citizen Joe and Disclosure though.

Character: Senator Robert Kinsey

My Favorite List:
Season: Not too sure, though I really liked the earlier seasons. Season 4 comes to mind just because some of the funniest episodes were that season.

Episode:
1. Window of Opportunity - I absolutely loved how this turned out. It was just so funny. My favorite scenes would have to be either when Jack kissed Sam or when Teal'c learned to juggle.
2. Zero Hour - This was so great. I really liked Walter in it. He was like Jack's babysitter.
3. Urgo - Also hilarious, though I wish SG-1 could have kept their memories. <--- Word to all that, those were great episodes! Also...
4. The Lost City - Jack + Crossword = Very funny, and the team getting drunk... classic.

Character: Jack

Goa'uld: Baal and Lord Yu

Pairing: Jack/Sam

Quote: "The answer for ten down was 'Celestial Body' and he put 'Uma Thurman'" - Sam, The Lost City

My Least Favorite List:
Seasons:
1. I liked all the seasons, but it got a little less interesting in the later ones.

Episodes: All the flash-back episodes. I did like the endings of Citizen Joe and Disclosure though. <--- Word.

Character: Senator Robert Kinsey <-- Again, word.


Anyone watch the season premieres? I was wondering how both SG-1 and Atlantis would get out of that...

Oh, and I can't wait for episode 200, looks like it's going to be hilarious! biggrin

I'm torn between my love for the new seasons. I adore Claudia Black and such, but several things irk me. Daniel's changed understandably, but I think he changed a little too much. And I don't like Cam Mitchell; they're trying to force his character on audiences way too fast. I mean, he's always perfect and stuff, it annoys me. Well, it may just be the fact that Carter takes orders from him, when she outranks him in experience and should be the appointed leader.
