View Full Version : Stargate
Anyone watch it? Thoughts on last nights final atlantis?
Needed more ship fighting, and man have they left loads of holes open to re-start the series should they get the demand for it.

Never watched Atlantis, but loved the original series.
Original series is good, but I prefered Atlantis. I like the whole concept of SG, as its based on human history and is mildly believeable.
Unlike say star trek or something where everythings totally out of our reach and total fiction (yeah SG is fiction, but i like the way it all relates back to our own history with the egyptions).

what he said
as i have not got sky1 i cant watched it for a few years (i think daniel had just accended the last series i saw, and was replaced with a new guy)

Stargate is wicked! Only discovered it one sunday morning! They had some kind of Stargate marathon on, one of my best days of last year!!!
Stargate marathons on all the time.
Its Sky1's answer to E4 and Friends lol.
Think im gonna get the SGA boxset, some good episodes.
I can't find anyone who watches it though, but its on Sky1 at prime time, so SOME one must be watching it bar us two.
Missy thought I was a geek, now shes more into it than i am :lol:
Daniel ascending, thats quite old that one. He comes back. I kinda lost where the whole SG1 team updates itself with O-neil leaving and that other guy taking over.
What's TV?
Something where your original avatar image came from ;)

I want to watch them right from the beginning. I don't know which series/episode the marathon started on. Be expensive to buy them all though i should imagine!
I like the one where they were making a film out of stargate - and they turned into Thunderbirds!!! lol

That was the 200th episode :)
I have every episode of SG1 including the 2 movies.
And all of Atlantis, minus the most recent episodes.
Let me see if I can come up with some way of easily getting them to you (would be TONS of DVD's to burn them - about 10-12 episodes/disc)
Well SGC has been running about 10 years hasn't it?
Atlantis has made 100 episodes.
Plus theres the original opening movie, plus all the feature length episodes.
Kate, you need to watch the original movie (Kurt Russell), then startoff from there. About 90% of the way through, Atlantis sping off starts, but you get the storey how it all began.
Wound me up last night, adverts said "last one ever" and "gates closing forever"...
But there's so many un-finished stories. Michael??? (i missed 1 episode, did he get killed??), plus the fact of the Wraith still, plus all the worlds.
Damn if they can make 1 dumb assed street program (eastender, corination street) last 25+ years, im sure they have plenty of more ideas they could do, i mean, its space.... How big is your imagination.
So the gate wasn't closed, sealed or blown up, Atlantis is back on earth, they still have a few ships, loads of open stories. Poor "ending" imo.
Can you edit your post so that those who haven't seen it now haven't seen the ending... like me.

How many Gig is it?
Guessing at 350 episodes x 350mb each (standard US series ep size) that would be about 125GB
I have a spare 200GB drive I can lend you :)

I like it but I don't pretend to understand it. I'd have to go right back to the start and watch every episode right through to know what's going on with all the different baddies etc. It is good to watch though, and like has been said, sort of mildly believable. Did anyone see the film that was on sky1 at the weekend? They got sent back in time and the baddie tried to destroy the stargate back in 19 oat cake. So they came up with a solution that they had already done from another episode!! I thought that was a complete cop-out considering it's a film. Oh and Sam has grown her hair! And she has a double chin now!

Apologies, but now you've read it so theres no need to edit now. :p
Besides, your only going to nick it offline anyway, whilst I go out and purchase the items legally :p

Hold up.........are we talking about the episode where a TV series appears that is very much like the Stargate programme, and the guy playing teal'k (in the fake series) had 3 eyes?

A said before its Season 10, Episode 6, called "200"
From the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/200_%28Stargate_SG-1%29)
However, the notes session quickly devolves into the team members pitching their own versions of a successful sci-fi film, including a zombie invasion (from Mitchell), a previously unseen mission where O'Neill became invisible (from Carter), "tributes" to The Wizard of Oz and Farscape (from Vala), and Teal'c as a private investigator (from Teal'c himself). Also featured are a vignette of the team's mental image of a "younger and edgier" SG-1 (sparked by the studio's suggestion to replace the original Wormhole X-Treme cast), a suggested scene by Martin that turns out to be both scientifically inaccurate and highly derivative of Star Trek, a re-imagined version of the original movie where all the characters are marionettes, and an imagined wedding that features the return of General Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson).
I particularly like the Farscape one considering that 2 of the SG-1 team at the time of 200 were in Farscape :)
The Trek bit is also fun.
So there are soime other fans out there.
No-one see last nights one then?
Repeated tonight, sky2, 8pm.

you can keep your starship enterprise. I'd like one please.
Also, where did this "olympus class" ship come into it, or is this just more ouber geekage from some online nugget making himself his own little reality?

I love the original SG but don't enjoy Atlantis as much. The witty one liners are really there in Atlantis and it treads too much into Star Trek territory!

Haven't had a chance to watch the new series', though I did used to like the original!
I liked the film as a boy, but not really the older series.
I'm going to go nuts with only Battlestar to keep me dosed up on sci-fi...
Someone should force them to start making Firefly again. That beat ALL the sci-fi series hands down.

Why don't the do back-to-back episodes of this anymore? Used to love watchin it ALL day on a Sunday!

One of my favourites. When Atlantis first came out, I thought it was a cheap mans version of SG1, but series 2 & 3 were great. Can't wait for season 4
I rewatched all of SG1 on the nets last year...i couldn't believe how many episodes i had missed from when it was on TV
