Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

Denny ****ing Crane....

On the other hand Boston Legal makes it pretty obvious that Alan Shore and Denny Crane are the heart of the show, and the rest are pretty much dispensable.

Mark Valley is never dispensable, damn it. Plus, I was really starting to like Constance Zimmer's character (even though I can't remember her name and always refer to her as "Constance Zimmer's character").

She is better on Entourage, profanity works well for her....

It's Claire but that's ok, I always refer to Mark Valley's character as Captain America.

 

[BlackLantern]

Valley would make a good Cap if he was a few years younger

She could do both. She's Constance Zimmer and she's got the greatest smile in Hollywood.

Finally...the Nielsen ratings system has landed on the web. Let’s all sign up and vote for Stargate Atlantis. This is the place where our opinions can be heard – by the industry people who decide what goes (and stays) on the air. Go to www.heynielsen.com/rankings/

When I was at SDCC, every sci-fi channel show panel I went to, they were really pushing to please watch their shows live....Tivo'ing doesnt help. So I try to watch the Sci Fi stuff live as much as I can...

How do I bring down SGA, in favor a superior replacement

and that replacement would be ????.......

 

[Sam Fisher]

SG1

 

[BlackLantern]

SG1

and that isnt going to happen.....so a real suggestion would be nice.....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm curious about what the new Stargate series will be. The SG-1 movies are pretty much done and Atlantis' new season has started; time for some new Stargate series spoilers.

 

[BlackLantern]

I'd like to see a Stargate series with a non military vibe.....more about exploration and that type of thing....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's what Atlantis was supposed to be, hence all the civilian scientists. I think the shows would be pretty boring without a military presence, though. Plus, SG-1 and Atlantis have shown us that the universe is nothing if not dangerous, so it'd kind of stretch believability if the new show were all civilians and they just happened to find that one patch of space that's all flowers and gumdrops.

 

[BlackLantern]

Hmmm....good point. like i've said, i'm relatively new to the SG mythos.....I am excited for the films though......

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Me, too.

 

[Superfreak]

Anything, SG-B, SG-C or SG-D It doesn't matter. I want less stargate extreme, and more back to the basics as SG1 was

The basics of SG is a military/civi team who explore worlds via the stargate.

The later seasons have focused on big bad enemies who pose a threat to Earth and the SG team try to stop them etc....

I get what you mean. We need a back to basics approach. Given that the humans now kick the crap out of all the posed threats in the show they may need to take a point of view from the lesser being of the galaxy.

it's just that everything is too easy. It's unbelievable... and any suspense that they create, fails because one always knows that an adequate solution will ALWAYS present itself in the way of McKay. It's all too easy, and the way the characters poke fun at it in the show is a little funny, but they've been using that thread for pretty much the entire series.

The other thing I hate, is I am now watching SG1, with worse writing, and a better budget. Main Villain + Replicators vs. SGA, same as Goauld + Replicators vs. SG1. The redundancy is just getting a little old with the show.


Really, the only reasons I keep up with SGA, is because I don't wanna get caught with my pants down when a new better SG series comes out, and be missing an entire series worth of cannon in my brain. And because the special effects are fun

 

[TheCorpulent1]

SGA is definitely following the same formula as SG-1. Everything has become too easy, too. All of the problems arise from either failing power or the fact that the team itself has screwed some piece of tech that would've been godlike up. It all feels very manufactured now. But it's a bit of a catch-22 because, while I would like them to get back to the basic formula of the team exploring some planet and encountering a new race or figuring out some new tech, that's just going to add to their arsenal and make things even easier, which'll lead to even more contrived ways of taking that away so the team can still face some actual danger.

That said, I still enjoy the characters, their interaction, and the humorous banter. If Battlestar Galactica became this repetitive, sure, I might just quit watching in disgust. But after the last four years or so of SG-1? Honestly, a few chuckles is really all I need from a Stargate series.

Allow me to hit the nail on the head. Both shows are suffering from the same thing. Well SG1 more so. They have stretched the show over such a long period and had the characters go to the ends of the galaxy and back that there is not much left to tell. All the big Sci Fi stories have been done. They need to just let it go and die one way or another. If they don't in another 5 years will be saying the same thing. Not that I would mind another 5 years of SG LOL.
