Star Gate

Man any other Star Gate fans here? I really just got into the series, sofare I've watched up to the middle of season 8 of sg1. Been watching it all nonstop practicly for 2 weeks now! I love it! I've just started watching Atlantis. I was lookin at the site and there are 2 movies coming out for 2007!!!! And there is also a rumor of another series. God I love the wit and humor that Anderson does. I just love his character.

Anderson is excellent, and in the SG1 series, the replacement actor (which had orginal stared in farscape, another excellent series since discontinued) plays RIGHT into that role with his own touch mind you, perfectly. Same quick witted remarks and excellent humor overall.

It's just so shitty that the sci-fi channel bought the rights to the show, only to cancel the series on us for absalutely NO frigen reason at all (considering that it was still more view then even atlantis and atlantis is huge).

I mean, my gaud, this is the first series lineup that has a larger per episode budget bigger then majority of the movies made today.

Anyways, Love the series, love both series, hate sci-fi channel.

It's also excellent that it's all filmed and produced right in canada in the western portions to top it off....

it was starting to get a little weird towards the end... and with half the original cast gone it was probbably a good time to pull the plug.

it's a good show indeed. i don't watch it very often though =\

I think Stargate rocks. Got seasons 1-8 on DVD already.

I cannot BELIEVE they cancelled it! Stupid channel.

New cast is starting to gel with the old, though I guess it can be argued that they should have gone out one or two seasons ago.

Maybe like the X-Files, which I think ran too long without a purpose.

If they had wrapped it up where they pretty much wiped out the Replicators and the Gould (sp?) and found enough ZPM's to run the earth defense base thing in the arctic so they would be protected in the future, that may have been a very good place to end it.

I would like to see them help to work out the Asgard situation so they can thrive too. Maybe a few episodes wrapping that up all nicely with a good alliance and all would be a good arc.

Yeah I love the Azgaurd. I am loving it. I'm now half way through season 8. I just love each time he says Carter's hurting his brain with all the science stuff.. lol. I am only through with the 1st episode of Atlantis. I decided not to watch it until I'm done with SG1. I hate the sci-fi channel.. Well I guess I hate them all except for BSG. I'm curious what the two new films will be. If they will be mad for tv, or in the theaters. I really think Mike Shanks did a great job, he had some pretty big shoes to fill after Jim Spader did the feature film.

I don't really like Atlantis much. Makes the ancients look like morons.

But, when Stargate got rid of the doctor and General Hammond, that kinda just freaked me out.

Then they have a new doctor who is never on the show any more. Lame.

But that lady that joined the show and was from Farscape? She's the best part of the show for me at this point. She can be freakin' hilarious.

weird?

it was just starting to get better..

the last episode i watched was about halfway through season 10, and my gaud, it just keeps getting bigger and better.

The only cast that's changed, and it isn't actually changed, it's just they've been promoted and do make frequent showings on the show itself, is the orginal sg1 leader richard is now a general working at the pentigon, the general that was in command of the base is now working with the president, the doctor died, was replaced by serveral people so far, such as the student at the university of "mysteries ways" (correct show?), then later by the daughter of the current general (which had orginal starred in adromeda AS adromeda herself, and again since then (seems to be randomly changing constantly).

Aside from that, the orginal cast and crew are all there. T'lk (spelling?) samantha, daniel, the main people still there.

SPOILER - DON'T READ IF YOU Don't Want to Know

Explain to me the benefit to Atlantis in killing off a recently killed off character, if you would please.

dudeboyz,

remember, that's just an episode out of several to come.

what did you think when you saw Daniel die? How bought when he was banished after attempting to do something to anubas?

My guad, i don't know how many times some of the main characters in these shows have come close to dieing or have died (at the end of an episode) but we still end up seeing them in full working order a season down the road.

Who knows, the actor may have requested to no longer take part in the show, and no one likes an actor to be suddenly replaced and to continue playing the same character, they just mold the story around it the best they can, and if the actor comes back, they'll throw something together for it as well.

~~DudeBoyz~~ · Jan 17, 2007, 08:44 PM

POSSIBLE SPOILERS - DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW

It was the Powers That Be, not the actor, who decided that he should leave the show.

I don't get how it might make the show better in ANY way what so ever.

Shanks left of his own volition - over money and screen time. Different deal alltogether.

It's like when they got rid of Hammond - made no sense to me.

Judas · Jan 17, 2007, 08:56 PM

well, it really doesn't matter, they probably got something boiling in the kitchen..

however it's intesting to note that it appears that he's in someone mind at all times in the show..

we'll just have to watch and see..
