MOVIES/TV: Stargate

[Nathan Butler]

(Yeah, I never thought I'd create one of these threads, either.)

We're a good chunk of episodes into the final season of Stargate: SG-1 now, on Sci-Fi Channel this time, instead of Showtime. *A new spin-off cartoon series, Stargate: Infinity will hit the airwaves in September, while a second movie (this time based on SG-1) and a new live-action spinoff, Stargage: Atlantis are also in the works.

So, whether you've been following on Sci-Fi, in syndication, or, like me, have been able to follow the series from Showtime to Sci-Fi, here's a place to post your thoughts on the ongoing series.

Was the woman in "Frozen" an actual ancient, and if so, what does that perhaps tell us about the Atlantis spinoff?

Now that Reese is dead, will that have any effect on the Replicators?

What will become of the remains of the Rebel Jaffa and Tok'ra in the wake of "The Warrior" and last season's two-parter?

In what ways will we see SG-1 characters find their way into Infinity, and if they DO show up, does that somewhat spoil the end of the series and the second movie, since we'd know they live through those events?

[SonGokou]

Nooooooooo! My Uni house mates used to watch SG-1, therefore I did. It's terrible! It's just like a low budget Star Trek, same episode, different characters (that you couldn't care less about, every new one was killed off in the same episode - except for that guy who always called Te-ulc(??) Murray). Noooooooooooooooo! Not on a STAR WARS Forum!

I shall use my Sith powers to convert you all away from such tripe.... Nnnnggh. Errggggh. Dang, didn't work. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif

[Nathan Butler]

Every new one was killed off in the same episode?

Jacob "Selmac" Carter?
Martouf?
Lenea?
Cassandra?
Dr. Frasier?
Anubis?
Apophis?
Ruy'ac?
Druy'ac?
Bra'tac?
Osiris?
Heru'ur?
Hathor?
Jonas Quinn?

I'm not quite sure how it can be called low budget either, at least given the costs per episode after season 1.

Then again, perhaps you only saw a few early episodes. That would probably explain the comments about the characters, given that the creators chose to develop them and the major story threads on an arc basis more akin to Babylon 5 than the "wearing ever aspect of their character on their sleeves" characterization we've come to expect of sci-fi series after shows like seaQuest DSV/2032 and Earth 2

Either way, the thread is for discussion on the show for those who enjoy it. If you don't, you needn't read the thread. As for "not on a STAR WARS forum . . . ", well, it's called "Communications" and given the distinction of being the only off-topic board on the system for a reason.

Now, for those who *do* like the series, there's new info hitting the net recently about Infinity.

The major characters are:

Major Gus Bonner - At 50, the rebel has mellowed a bit, but there's plenty of fight left in the old guy. Gus goes by his gut instincts and is a rebel drawn to the allure of exploring distant worlds.

R.J. Harrison - At eighteen, Harrison is a low-key wise guy who is physically imposing. A dedicated science-fiction fan, Harrison grew up dreaming of space travel. If Harrison weren't so handsome and athletically gifted, he'd be the classic nerd who thinks he's an outsider.

Stacey Bonner - For the first eighteen years of her life, Gus Bonner's niece grew up with little direction or structure. Now she has become an expert in the martial arts and presents a front of no-nonsense control. Stacey is the backbone of the trainee group -- a 'by the book' cadet.

Seattle Montoya - Dark and mysterious Seattle was raised for the first half of her eighteen years on a Native American reservation. After moving to the inner city she became a street-smart gang member, she entered the Air Force Academy to get out of the ghetto. Seattle, gifted with empathic abilities, users her powers to sense the needs of many of the aliens they encounter.

Ec'co - Half-alien, Ec'co has grown up a victim of prejudice and as a stranger on his home planet of Earth. Ec'co has channeled his anger over not being accepted into his studies; He is the group's brilliant high-tech expert who can fix anything mechanical. Ec'co's struggle to control the rage within him has made him the most reticent, stoic, and secretive of the team.

Draga - The curious dragon lady and maybe-Ancient hatches as a seemingly full-grown adult from the chrysalis found inside an ancient Egyptian mummy. But despite having an adult appearance, Draga is very much a newborn innocent -- unaware of the incredible powers contained in her complex genetic code.

Supporting characters include:

Nephestis / Grimes - Working to destroy Stargate Command, this shape-shifting alien spy is in the service of the Tlak-Kahn aliens. Most of the time, he assumes the shape and identity of science officer Capt. Arnold Grimes, but he can assume at will the shape and identity of any living being of apporximately the same physical mass.
Hah'lak - The fat, toad-like reptile who is the head of the Nax'kan Council. A master of the vicious political infighting of the Council, Hah'lak is a cunning and suspicious, almost paranoid opponent.

Da'kyll - Leader of the Tlak'kahn warriors chasing the team. A ferocious eight foot tall reptile, Da'kyll is intelligent, utterly ruthless, and cunningly ambitious. He is driven to find our team and Draga to learn the secret of the Ancients and to use that power to become supreme ruler of the Tlak'kahn.

Pahk'kal - Da'kyll's second in command. Pahk'kal fears Da'kyll and behaves subserviently, but his obsequiousness masks his resentment and ambition. Pahk'kal is planning to gain Draga's powers for himself to get rid of both Da'kyll and the Nax'kan Council.

It also looks like the story will deal with this particular SG team being on the run with Draga, trying to escape both the aliens after Draga and that era's SGC, for some reason.

Personally, I'm hoping that before the end of SG-1's final season, or at least in the second film, we'll get a glimpse of a live-action, younger Bonner, just to give a bit more of a tie-in between the story eras.

What intrigues me, though, is that Draga is described as a "maybe-Ancient." We've been led to believe that by the end of SG-1, season 6, we'll finally know who the Ancients were, and more about the alliance between the Ancients, Asgard, Nox, and Furlings that originaly met on "Earnest's Planet" ("The Torment of Tantalus"). Could this be an indication that the SGC won't know for sure until then, or is it left a "maybe" so that since this series starts on September 14, it won't end up spoiling things for SG-1, which won't end until after SG:I premieres?

[BL-17]

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to keep up with the series so I'm probably just going to have to buy it on DVD.

Infinity sounds awfully interesting. Hopefully it will be as good as SG-1. I'm not quite sure, however. If it's like "The Incredible Hulk" cartoon was on UPN, then I think it may prove to be a disappointment. Cartoon takeoffs are always iffy, in my opinion.

[Nathan Butler]

I never saw Hulk, but I'm looking forward to the new Transformers and MOTU on Cartoon Network in August.

I agree that SG:I sounds interesting, but iffy. What I hope is that it at least stays true to the spirit of SG-1. Sure, it'll be a different era, but we've seen bits of the future of the SGC in SG-1 episodes, and I'd hate to see it changed drastically.

As for the series, they should be airing the entire series on Sci-Fi sometime soon.

[BL-17]

I have wanted to see a second SG movie since the first one was released. What do you think it will revolve around mostly? Obviously it will be based on SG-1, but what would it possibly be about?

[Nathan Butler]

So far, they've said it'll be a major move after some other major events in Season 6 that will fundamentally change the way the Stargate storyline has proceeded. It's also supposed to be a bridge from SG-1 to SG:Atlantis, so my guess is that we may discover a LOT about the Ancients and possibly even end up with a story spanning two different eras of time, as happened in 1969, 2010, and 2001. There's a great news site on the subject over at GateWorld.Net (http://www.gateworld.net).

[nerfer]

<span style="color:c1007e"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms">I missed most of the last season, but liked quite a few of the episodes.

I noticed a while back though, it was basically the Jack O Neil show and Daniel doesn't exisit. SO I'm not surprised Michael Shanks got annoyed, I would with nothing to do, and left.

Which lets face it, means a large majority of the female audience (myself included) don't really care about it anymore. Daniel was my fave character! I think they should have made more of an effort to keep him. The people in charge of this show, SUCK!</span></span>

[Nathan Butler]

Well, at least he showed up for "Abyss." He's also apparently slated (hopefully) for at least two more episodes and the second film.

As for him as a character . . . I guess once the situations with Skaara, Sha're, Apophis, and the Harsesis were taken care of, there wasn't much of an avenue for the character to continue growth on. I think ascension was the most logical step for him, though it would've been nice to see it later.

Imagine, though, if his acension leads to revelations about the Ancients this season . . .

[Nathan Butler]

Update on SG-1: Daniel and Ska'ara will both appear in "Full Circle," this season's (perhaps the series') finale.

Stargate: Infinity premieres a week from tomorrow on Fox.

[Darth Drew]

I saw Stargate the movie but that was good, but the show kind of stinks style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif

[Nathan Butler]

As said to Gokou: Did you give it time to see the threads that were forming, or just watch a couple and give up on it?

[Darth Vegas]

I am officially renouncing my self given title of nerd, you alone oh Nathan the Great Nerd, you alone are worthy of that title. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif


Seriously, do you have any thoughts on the next Stargate movie? The first was just a great movie, very good, very original, I'd like to know.

Also, I am not really familiar with the SG-1 series, I watched a few episodes but never got into it, I didn't think it was any good, mostly because of the dude from Mcguever replacing Kurt Russell, but for other reasons. Could you bring me up to speed?

[Nathan Butler]

It'd be VERY hard to bring you up to speed after everything over the last 5.5 years, but you can get a decent primer from gateworld.net.

As for the next film, it will not be a sequel to the original film. The SG-1 series was the sequel to the film. The new film will take off from wherever the final season (this or next) of SG-1 leaves off, probably pitting the SGC and its allies against Anubis. It will also provide the springboard for the new Stargate: Atlantis series that will premiere the year after the film, whenever that may be.

It's funny you should mention Richard Dean Anderson as part of not liking SG-1 initially. It was Kurt Russell's characterization of O'Neill that had me not liking the original film.

Of course, now we have a reason for it in the continuity. It is said that the original film is something made years from now, after the Stargate is made public knowledge. That long after the fact, the filmmakers got the characterizations and such a bit off from the "real people," hence the differences in the film and series. The series is considered to be of greater canon validity than the original film.

(I guess that should teach Devlin and Emmerich to sell off all their rights to their creations to someone else.)

If you have any questions after checking out that primer, I'd be glad to help. There's a LOT to go through, though. To step into the series right now would be very difficult, I think.

You could always try Infinity, though. Gateworld also has a link to the preview MOV file for Infinity.

[Darth Vegas]

Thanks for the info. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Goods news / bad news time.

The bad news: The people behind WAGA down here in Atlanta must die. They aren't airing the Fox Saturday morning cartoons, which means no SG: Infinity for us down here. I'll have to have my family back home tape it.

However . . .

Good news: The (sad) demise of Farscape has indeed allowed for the creation of a 7th season of SG-1. It was confirmed yesterday, I believe, but there's no word yet on how much involvement Richard Dean Anderson will have in the new season. There's also talk that the major ratings sweep the series has done lately, plus the new season, have made the second film and spin-off almost guaranteed.

The big question, I guess, is where is the series going next year? The end of season 6 was to be part of the ramp up into the second film, which was to be the ramp up into Atlantis. I have to wonder what we'll find in the 7th season, since it hadn't been planned yet.

Oh, and as a side note: the SG-1 Season 1 and Season 2 DVD boxed sets are both now available through Amazon.com. I was able to get both, with "super saver shipping" (which only took 2 days in my area) for $105. Season 1 is a bit skimpy on some of the extras, and the menu screen on Vol. 1 wobbles a bit (like they didn't animate quite right), but the second season's bonus features are interesting and include the syndication trailers. For someone like me, who watched everything on Showtime during first-run episodes, those trailers, plus the fact that each episode bears the syndication (not Showtime) opening credits sequence, make it pretty nice.

It doesn't hurt that they're all in the originally filmed widescreen format instead of the panned and scanned for TV version, and the sound, especially for the gate and the Goa'uld voice sounds, is amazing.

"End of song."

[Nathan Butler]

Heh, givne all the compliants about Martini every few days . . . Anything disparaging out of his/her mouth means precisely "diddlydick."

Pay him no mind.

::EDIT::

And, yep, I was right. WAGA didn't air it this morning. I guess I'm left to downloading and having people back home send me tapes. What a load of crap.

::puts in Children of the Gods DVD::

[Nathan Butler]

News that most have probably heard if they follow SG-1. The show is coming back for a 7th season, and Daniel Jackson *is* returning. Jonas will be taking a recurring role instead of a regular cast role.

What might the future hold for a post-Ascension Daniel?

::shrug::

[Swamprat_Jedi_Knight]

Forgive me for "grave digging", but I was going to start a Stargate: SG-1 topic, but thought I should go and see if there was one already. I found it on page 13, and the last post was nearly a year old. I debated on whether to make a new topic, anyway, but decided against it.

So, well, I love Stargate SG-1. I own season 1, have seen all of season 2 when I went to a friends house, talk about a marathon! I have seen a number of season 3 episodes. I haven't been able to watch any of the continuing series, for a few years. It disappeared from Saturday afternoon, and just recently I found out it is broadcast at like 11:00 Sunday night, but I can't watch it then, so I'm very far behind. As soon as I get a steady income I will be buying the DVD sets. Like I said I have the first one, but I hope to get them all. Last I heard season 4 was out on DVD. I love this series (at least what I have seen so far). So Nathan, when does this second movie come out? Haven't heard anything about it yet.

[Master Cephus]

BUMP


Please tell me that you guys watch this show and Atlantis???

[goodwije]

i have watched SG1 since it came to sci-fi, i watched a few times before that but was never sure when it was on etc. Personally i think it was one of the best sci-fi shows ever, although this season they are moving away from what i love best.

I am going to get a little fanboy for a minute but i think they need to add a new member to SG1 and get back on track. Now don't get me wrong, the on Earth or Promethious shows are cool, but we need traditional SG1 missions too IMO. What i would like to see is them adding a young male russian officer to the team, he could take up the slack now that Carter is the lead, and Teal'c has become accoustomed to living on earth. Being Russian would allow him to be alien enough and uncomfortable enough, and a military background would fill in what we have lost with O'Neil now commander.

Antlantis is a cool show too, although i would like to see some of the story lines advance. Meeting the Ancient was cool. I hope they delve more into why the ancients left, and behave as they do.

[goodwije]

Bumpplus

Stargate SG-1's ninth season starts on July 15th on SciFi (in the states). Ben Browder from Farscape (Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell) and Beau Bridges (General Hank Landry) have joined the cast. It seems that Lt. Colonel Carter (Amanda Tapping) will be away doing something important at Area 51 for the first 5 or so episodes, IRL she had a baby. Those stories will mostly revolve around Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Vala (Claudia Black, also from Farscape). Eventually Carter returns, but i have no idea who becomes the SG-1 actual because both her and Mitchell have the same rank.

Stargate Atlantis opens where we left off with the wraith attack on Atlantis itself. I do know there will also be some additions to "the team" and Atlantis leadership. But details on this show are a little more sketchy.

[Master Cephus]

I love stargate more than I love star wars...WOW! I have seen every episode so far and I can't wait for season 9.

However, with all the big changes going to happen this season, I can't see this series lasting much longer. RDA is only going to be in 2 episodes I think (eps 1 & 3). There will be a new enemy this season that will pretty much replace the replicators and the gou'ld. They are going to be baddies!

However, I am more excited about Atlantis. Lt. Ford is going to be replaced by another person, but I won't get into why. But I think this show, if handled properly should have about as long as run as SG1!

Can't wait for 2 weeks!

Stargate rocks. Also, P.S. Stargate isnt in its final season.

My favorites

1.Stargate SG-1

[Master Cephus]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Stargate rocks. Also, P.S. Stargate isnt in its final season.[/b][/quote]

I would say that depends on the ratings of this season coming up....

I don't know, but I am just a little excited...and a little worried about this season with the new cast members at SG1

[goodwije]

Actually i think it will be a good thing. But that maybe because i was Farscape fan and enjoy Beau Bridges. Rumor is that Beau is going to be a little harder line General than hammond ever was, which to me is odd, i trust that he can pull it off but that is not the type he has played in the past.

[Master Cephus]

Yeah that does sound odd....

I am just not good with change style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I am hoping that it's good...because I don't want them to introduce anything in this season and be canceled and therefore we don't get the full circle of everything...that is something I don't like...

And another thing that I want before the end of the series...tell me about the Furlings... we have one episode about them, and they aren't even in it. We have all this informatin about the other 3 races, but really nothing on the Furlings...and the Nox isn't much, but at least we have seen them...

[goodwije]

Actually the Nox where the first of the Great Races we met. Remeber the episode where the barber was telling stories about SG-1 and the one dude was like.. when you going to talk about the Furlings.. i bet they are like Ewoks.

Yeah i hope we get to see them as well, but somehow i bet they keep 'em a big mystery.

You know another big change this season is the Free Jaffa Nation. There are a ton of ways they can go with this, should be another iteresting story line.

[Master Cephus]

Yeah, what I meant about the Nox was that we don't really know them...I wanting to see that floating city they have...learn some their technology.

I have read that the Jaffa are going to have some bad blood with Earth...I don't know the details, but I think Louis Gossett Jr.'s character is going to have something to do with that...

[goodwije]

Yeah i am sure they will have growing pains... and this is all guessing here, cause i haven't read many spoilers. I am thinking there will be an off-shot kinda terrorist minded who become hell bent on destrying everything and rulling themselves. But i could be wrong.

Yeah i knew what you meant about the Nox, i just don't think we are going to see much more about them.

[P-Ray]

Can't wait, they are both starting back up tonight!

[Count Dookie]

I watch Atlantis, and Battlestar Galatica....very excited they are starting again.

[empire21]

I hope Canada doesn't have to wait long for the new season of Atlantis, that first season was amazing style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[goodwije]

Has anyone heard why Rainbow Sun Francks (Lt. Ford) is leaving Atlantis? Oddly he was one of my favorite characters.

I thought that I read an article in tv Guide that he was returning. It even showed a picture of him in the artice.

Dookie, do you still have that tv guide? Can you let us knoe=w for sure?

[goodwije]

Actually i found an article myself.. it's kind of old but all the new rumors seem to say the same thing


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Francks will be recurring in Season Two
THURSDAY - JANUARY 13, 2005


Stargate Atlantis co-star Rainbow Sun Francks ("Aiden Ford") will be a recurring character in the show's second season, executive producer and series co-creator Brad Wright told GateWorld. The change in status means that Francks will not appear in every episode, and will not be listed in the show's opening credits.

But the new season will start with major developments for Ford, a character many fans regard as under-developed in Season One. "We have plans for him as a recurring character in an arc that extends through at least the first part of Season Two," Wright said.

Francks himself was looking forward to the coming season when GateWorld spoke with him in London in November. "Season Two is going to be fun. From what I've spoken to the writers about, there are some very interesting things in line for Ford," he said. "'If you weren't interested in Ford before, you definitely will be,' is all I can say. I can't let any of it out because it's all speculation right now, but what we've spoken about is extremely exciting."

To fill Ford's shoes the producers will also add a new regular character, Ronon Dex, to the mix (story). Dex is currently being cast.

Actor Paul McGillion ("Carson Beckett") will also become a regular cast member next season, Wright confirmed. "In fact, that's how we thought of him most of last year," he said. "It just wasn't formalized yet."[/b][/quote]

[P-Ray]

He wasn't really in every episode in the first season, was he?

[Master Cephus]

pretty much, I think he is going to be in like 4 episodes this season.

If you want to know here is the spoiler:

[P-Ray]

^Very cool but I wonder why his part is limited? Was that his or studios decision?

[P-Ray]

I loved Atlantis especialy the Ford storyline! Fantastic episode and opener!

Unfortunately, I wasn't as enthused for SG-1. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind change but I wasn't thrilled with Beau Bridges as the new General. Also the new Lt. Colonel doesn't quite have the charisma. I know, I know, it was just the first show of the season. But I like Atlantis much better than SG-1 especially because I watched it from the beginning.

[empire21]

I've enjoyed SG-1 since it's begining, but now i'm ready for something different, and Atlantis is just that style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I would'nt be surorised if Carter retakes command of SG-1 and Mitchell second in command. I'm sure she'll some way be involved in next week's episode.

I am too but I thought I would try it to see how the new characters work out.

I think I'm just going to stick with Atlantis.

[goodwije]

weird because i loved the Beau Bridges character.. i thought he did an excellent job. I think i am going to really dig General Landry. I loved it when he was loosing patience with Daniel. Very well done. Sorry but Vala just cracks me up, and the little not-so-witty dialouge between her and Mitchell was classic SG-1. As far as the Ben Browder character i like the direction they are taking. Yeah it did feel a little forced i think they tried a little too hard to prove that he was not just another O'neill (2 L's) in a younger package. The character seems to have a lot of potential, and i got to say, i trust the folks over there to get it right.

OH btw, excuse me while i geek for a moment. Next Friday on Sci-Fi
Firefly at 7, SG1 at 8, Atlantis at 9, BSG at 10.. 4 hours of sci-fi goodness... can't wait

Just for the record, I wasn't saying it was bad, I just wasb't thrilled one way or the other.

[JKRich]

I am giving SG1 the benefit of the doubt.Ive been watching it since the beginning so they deserve that much from me.I just dont know if it can work without RDA.I do however like this series still much more than the other Sci-Fi friday shows.I do watch them all and do see some promise in the other two shows.(we'll see)

[Master Cephus]

Carter isn't going to be in the first 5 episodes. She had a child during shooting in March. That is why Vala is there style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I actually liked SG1. I was worried but I think Vala addition, although not permenant will be a good thing. Also Ben Browder's character is going to be pretty good me thinks. I almost fell out of my chair when Teal'c shot at the door and Mitchell started to dance...that was classic SG1!

I thought Atlantis story was weak. I didn't like the fact that they show a room with people trying to figure out an idea on how to stop the Wraith, and then right at the beginning of the scene...they got the idea of cloaking atlantis...just was too easy...

Anyways...

I am hoping for good things this season...some great things going to happen in both series!

Atlantis tonight was an O.k. episode. It just too kme by surprise that they were able to go home now. I though the basis of the show was that they were stranded on Atlantis.

I figured there would be a bigger Hurrah with the ability to finally get back home.

[goodwije]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>I figured there would be a bigger Hurrah with the ability to finally get back home. [/b][/quote]yeah, but we know they had too because too many people have died and too many supplies had been used, it was important to know they went back to earth. Also important to set up that many are in Atlantis by choice because they feel stronger ties to their "family" there than they do at home. I thought it very interesting. There is a lot more to the Shepard story line i have to think. I never knew he has something "questionable" in his record before.

Next week Ronan Dex.. should be fun


SG-1 i really enjoyed, i am telling you i really like the General Landry character. He is so different than Hammond but at the same time so realistic as to what a commander is like. I love that he has no patience for Daniel, but they will learn to love one another. The scene of Vala dieing was intense..i was like "oh my God". I don't think we have anything close on SG1 before. And now the Ancients have a name.. excellent the Altarian right? or something like that, first thing i thought when Daniel said the name was "Alternate Terran". Anyways i enjoyed that episode. I wonder when Sam gets back if she is going to feel left out of everything that has went down. I think it was a good move to untilize her pregnancy and birth in this way. It lets you get to know the new characters without the stress of the strongest remaining original in the room.

I liked SG1 last night and like the potential of this Ori storyline.I'd like to see the Ancients possible involvement in this.Atlantis isnt bad i do like the addition of Mitch Pileggi and the Asgard.I think my problem with the show is unlike SG1 there is noone character i like personally.On SG1 i like them all on Atlantis for starters i always hated McKay(even on SG1).With this new character next week and whenever Ford returns(hopefully interesting now)there is a chance i'll like one of them.

You don't like the Shepard or Teyla characters? I like those 2 characters as well as DR. Weir a lot.

[Nathan Butler]

Wow, my old thread from ages back got resurrected. Guess I should hop outside the audio board a few times now and again, ey?

Keep an eye out for some new reviews supposedly coming soon on GateWorld.Net that I wrote for them *ages* ago on some lesser known Stargate materials...

[Master Cephus]

I didn't like Atlantis this past week...I call those episodes "fillers"...they have to make like 20 episodes...so they have to make them. It was one of those episodes where you can pretty much guess what's going to happen.

What I am nervous about, is that now they can go back to earth, is this just going to be a cheap imitation of SG1? What is the motivation of Atlantis now...I got the feeling in the first season in the beginning was how to get back home...and then as the season came down to the end was, How do we stop the Wraith from taking over Atlantis....they have to give us a direction...and honestly I don't know if it can be as simple as "to learn stuff in the new galaxy"...that's pretty much SG1's direction, minus the new galaxy.


SG1, I am loving the new characters....they are doing great and they are meshing well with the older characters. The Ori is going to be tough to handle...I am wondering how thier storyline will unfold...obviously we are going to have to learn more about the ancients to learn more about the Ori...we have to also have some interaction with some ancients which we will....tell me if you want spoilers style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[goodwije]

Got to be honest i am a little fustrated with the Ori Priors. I know the Ori are very powerful and it shouldn't be easy by any means but listen, there should be some way that SGC can combat them. I understand setting up how dangerous they are but i hope this season shows us a way to confront them, and doesn't end up a long string of yeah yeah, all powerful beings. I wonder if any of the other ancients will help now that Oma is locked in an everlasting battle.

I am enjoying Atlantis for some reason. I liked that Rodney had a screw up, hope he learns from it, but not too much. My only complaint.. put Ronan Dex in a frigging uniform. I know it sounds fanboy-ish but that is classic Stargate. Even Daniel Jackson when he was just a weasely unknown scientist (aka the motion picture) was put in uniform. And so was Teal'c and Kayla. It is part of joining the team.

I love Atlantis! I don't know but did they get rid of the Ford character just to get the Ronen character?

[goodwije]

well they really didn't get rid of him. He is off all half wraithy killing wraiths single handedly, and more than a little off his rocker. The problem his character just didn't have enough personality and they wanted to take it a different direction. Which allowed for a new, completely different type of character to step in.

i hope they kill ford off and i hope they have a wraith do it.

I think Ford was put into the background because his character really was boring...no backstory, he has no real matzi to him, and honeslty very bland. I bet they were going to fire him and then he begged and they went this route with his character.

He wasn't that good of an actor so i thought maybe he was a DeLuise nephew or grandson or something.

Then a really odd thought came into my head, his acting style seemed familiar in some ways. The way his lines where delivered and what not. Was that kid jake Lloyd? I don't think it was him, since Jake is like 16 now and the kid playing Orlin seemed younger, but they sure look alike (and act alike).

[P-Ray]

I can't believe it was the season finale of Atlantis already!

I like what they did with the Ford character!

BTW, how long are we going to have to wait for the new season?

[Master Cephus]

This was a mid-season cliffhanger.

Sci-Fi is afraid to put their Friday line up against broadcast channels so they split it up. The season continues in January.

I liked the cliffhanger in Atlantis. I have a feeling we are going to see the Wraith as a Goul'd type feudal system before long. I think they started that process with some of the ideas that Ford's guy told McKay. This would be better, because the Wraith have been built up as unstoppable.

Now onto SG1, is anyone else getting rather board with this storyline? We hardly see any battles, and the idealogy is getting rather weak. I liked the idea of the Ori in the beginning, but it's about time we see some action against them, or the Ori showing some action....it gets rather board when all they do is walk around for a moment and then people get sick....Stargate is about action...we need more!

[Master Cephus]

Going to gateworld.net (http://gateworld.net) it seems that the last episodes of SG1 and Atlantis produced series low ratings...very scary. It seems that with the addition of Friday Night Smackdown and other series on Friday night, it looks like Sci-Fi Friday might need a relocation service. I don't think Sci-Fi can market the night any better, so maybe a change in the day would boost the ratings. I don't see Atlantis going away, but if ratings stay really, really low, I could see them wrapping up SG1...

[Jediwan]

They did it for season 9. Maybe they took a long time going through the renewal process. it also doesn't say if all of the characters will be there.

[Nathan Butler]

Stargate *will* return in January, but that's for the second half of the current season. The mid-season split is always billed (idiotically) as a "season finale" when it's not. The *new* season will begin next Summer. So both are right, depending on which new episodes you're referring to: new ones from this season or new ones for next season (which come after another 10 or so that we haven't seen yet). Same for Atlantis.

Meanwhile, out of curiosity, did anyone else ever watch Stargate: Infinity? I only caught a few episodes before it was cancelled and am getting the (mildly horrid) first few episodes on DVD (the only few they officially released) very soon.

[empire21]

I never seen Infinity, I just heard about it in this thread a few weeks ago style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

This is completely unrelated to the above and I know I might get flamed for it, but I did ultimately enjoy Stargate: Infinity. I realize it's been disavowed by all the fans and the creators of Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, but I still think it had its merits and could've been an interesting show had it not been bogged down by the cliches that affect so many Saturday Morning cartoons these days.

Me either! What was it's premise?

[Anguirus111]

It was set roughly 20 years after SG-1 where a bunch of aliens(I forget their name) was planning on invading Earth. Anyway, Major Gus Bonner was apparently onto them so they framed him thanks to a shapeshifting alien. This shapeshifter then allowed the invading aliens to enter Stargate Command where they began destroying the place. Major Bonner escaped gathered up his original team(of all demographics, which is one of the cartoon cliches I mentioned), who were unsure whether to trust him(no one knew about the shapeshifting alien), and they beat back the aliens but were left with no choice but to go back through the Stargate to the aliens homeworld. They blow up the aliens Stargate after using it to go to another world first. The aliens apparently had another Stargate and continued chasing Bonner and his team throughout the series as Bonner tried to prove his innocence. Unfortunately this would prove difficult for him as the shapeshifting alien that was still on Earth convinced SG Command that Bonner was not to be trusted so SGC sealed off his ability to open the iris to return to Earth.

Anyway, the series which lasted for one season was ultimately nothing spectacular and always had a wholesome message at the end and I guess SG-1 fans couldn't cope with it and swore it off.

I'll be honest, I thought that Vala was a better charcter along with Daniel, Mitchel and T'ealc.

I think the problem that Carter brings is that it's like "They are in peril....ok carter has the answer" You always knew it's coming. I just like the knowing that there is a chance that they might not have the answer.

[Jediwan]

I was thinking the same thing too GW. But I think with this new enemy that Carter won't always have the answer. I also think that Vala will be used more for comic relief.

http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s10/index.shtml

Gateworld has compiled a bunch of things we know already and some spoilers.

[Anguirus111]

So I was watching the pilot for Stargate: Atlantis and I had some questions:

1. How did they manage to lock in an eighth chevron? I thought the gate only had seven locks, was the eighth always hidden below the metal deck?

2. How does the team always know how to dial back to where they came from, from whatever world they're on? Stargate the movie made it seem like you had to find the dialing address(though that poses even more questions like how do you know said address even dials back to where you came from).

3. This is a basic question but establishing a wormhole from one gate to another means that you can only go one way correct? You could never go through a stargate where you didn't initiate the lock yourself I take it. I'm sure this was addressed early on in SG-1 but I barely watched any episodes back then.

Thanks.

[Master Cephus]

great questions, I will answer them one by one:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>1. How did they manage to lock in an eighth chevron? I thought the gate only had seven locks, was the eighth always hidden below the metal deck?[/b][/quote]

There isn't the chevrons are just symbols. There a bunch of symbols on the gate, you just have to have the right combination. Now the 7 will give you an address somewhere in the galaxy that you are in. Think of the box where the middle of the box is where you want to go (that is 6 chevrons) and then the 7th is the location of where you are right now.

To get to another gate in another galaxy, you have an 8th chevron. You also have to have a lot of power as well. This can first be seen in the episode "The Fifth Race" in season 2.

As far as Atlantis is concerned, they are able to go to the Pegasus galaxy because the ZPM.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>2. How does the team always know how to dial back to where they came from, from whatever world they're on? Stargate the movie made it seem like you had to find the dialing address(though that poses even more questions like how do you know said address even dials back to where you came from).[/b][/quote]

I believe it's one of those asuumed things. In SG1 when a team gets to a planet for the first time, they figure out how to get back via the DHD. In atlantis, I believe that it's just configured in the jumper and also by just figuring it out when they get there. It's not shown, because that would get old in the series. It's the same as why everyone in all the galaxies speak English....you just have to have to have a story.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>3. This is a basic question but establishing a wormhole from one gate to another means that you can only go one way correct? You could never go through a stargate where you didn't initiate the lock yourself I take it. I'm sure this was addressed early on in SG-1 but I barely watched any episodes back then.[/b][/quote]

I can't remember which episode it was told (maybe even the first episode or two) but you can establish a wormhole and go to the place you established, but the other side cannot go through. However, you can send small packets of data (such as radio signals and what not) but that's it.

[Anguirus111]

Yeah but how did they lock in an eighth symbol with only seven locks is the root of my question. I know how the gate dials out but I thought the gate could only accept seven symbols because there were only seven locks on the gate which is what's confusing me and was never really addressed in the pilot of Atlantis. Did they just end up using a lock twice to lock in the eighth symbol?

Anyway, thanks for the rest though.

[Jediwan]

That's a good question, I've always wondered it.

[Cassus Fett]

i think they had to lock it twice for the eighth

[goodwije]

yes the top chevron did not "lock' like it normally does. Instead the gate spun around again and then the top chevron engaged again, this time locking the final (8th) symbol.

They explained it as something like an area code you use to dial long distance, the eigth symbol redirected the gate to the other galaxy, whether that be Pegasus or the Asgard. and then the normal 7 sequence event marked location with three deminsional space and starting location.

yes the top chevron did not "lock' like it normally does. Instead the gate spun around again and then the top chevron engaged again, this time locking the final (8th) symbol.

They explained it as something like an area code you use to dial long distance, the eigth symbol redirected the gate to the other galaxy, whether that be Pegasus or the Asgard. and then the normal 7 sequence event marked location with three deminsional space and starting location.

didn't the eigth lock a different colour to what the normal colour it locks with aswell?

[mirax terrik horn]

Quick little answer to one of the questions above. I seem to remember Daniel saying something about the dialing address home is the same it just needs a point of origin. Kind of like when they dial out from earth it is always the triangle with a circle over it, they just have to find the symbol that is not familiar. I think that that is the answer but could be wrong.

[Cassus Fett]

So whats this second movie about then?

[Jediwan]

It'll be about missions with SG-1 when Jack is still in command. <div onClick="openClose('25e197906d06032e26aed0a2b05af7ac')" style="font-weight: bold">[ Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide]</div><div id="25e197906d06032e26aed0a2b05af7ac" style="display:none">And speaking of Jack, I'm pretty sure that I saw him in one of the commercials on Sci Fi advertising the new episodes of Sg-1.</div>

[empire21]

Hopefully if a movie does happen Jack will be a part of it because Stargate just isn't any good without Jack.

[Jediwan]

It will, at least according to gateworld.net it will.

[Jediwan]

Just was at Gateworld and it said that the production of Stargate II will not commence until after the finally of SG-1. Well that won't be for a while. It was written before even Season 7 was confirmed so....it might be a while. But there is the Stargate: Atlantis Rising for us to watch for another SG movie.

[empire21]

I just read the same, If you want a good Stargate combo try watching the season 7 finale 'Lost City' then watch 'Rising' feels just like a movie

[Jediwan]

5 more days until new episodes come out!

[empire21]

I watched Promethieus Unbound the other day, then I watched some season 9 episodes, i'm not that into the new Characters but I got to admit Vala is a pretty good character, so perhaps i'll start watching more of SG-1.

[Jediwan]

So what was everyone's reaction to the new episodes? I especially liked the fact that they brought back the theme songs and not just the cut off version. Though I'm still used to see RDA as the first actor shown and not BB.

[P-Ray]

I enjoyed Atlantis!

Thats a good thing, as long as RDA is not in SG-1 it's will never be the same, although I must admit to be enjoying Vala, she's alot of fun to watch, but dammit we need O'Neil back.

[Jediwan]

I'm pretty sure I saw him in one of the Sci Fi commercials.

Back to the eight chevron thing, I'm wondering if a plot point will ever come up where a ninth chevron would determine what time period you could travel to. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scratchchin.gif

[Master Cephus]

I'll be honest, I am really getting bored of SG1. This whole Orii thing needs to get going. This story arc is really slow to gaining speed. I want to see action! I hope by sometime this season they really get into some good battles, I want to see some Ancients in action, although I doubt it will happen.

As far as Atlantis, I think it's doing OK. I have a feeling that they are going to turn the Wraith into the Goul'd type enemies in that they fight each other for control. Which is OK, but they steal too many ideas from SG1 already and to me shows a general like of writing.

Your only bored because of the absence of O'Neill, which is understandable, but this whole Ori thing really needs to start going somewhere, wheres Jack when you need him.

[Jediwan]

Lets hope that there will be one episode where Jack comes back and there is major Ancient action.

I'm hoping for more than just one, more like a season style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bigsmile.gif

[Jediwan]

That would be much better. I was actually hoping when General Landry got infected that they would put Jack back in command, but it didn't happen.

[empire21]

Jack's only place is in command of SG-1, and as cool as Vala is I would rather have Carter, it's just too bad we can't have a six person team.

[Jediwan]

Well some of the other teams are larger than four, so I don't see why not. What I would like to see is Jack demoted from Major-General then Landry decide that someone with the rank of Brigadier General be in command of SG-1 and have Jack be that general.

Just got done reading the same style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif you gotta love these types of episodes.

[Master Cephus]

^ it has to be about time travel, or alternate universe right?

Jack isn't coming back because RDA wants to spend more time with his Daughter in LA, and SG1 shoots in Vancouver almost 6 months out of the year. So I don't think that he will be back. I liked his character a lot, but he wasn't my favorite. I think with Mitchell we can have the same type of action that Jack brought.

The only problem I have with this season is the lack of action. A plague just doesn't get me going. I want some action. I want to see a massive army of Orii followers who are headed toward Earth and only SG1 can save us.

The story line has to go somewhere. Take for instance the last episode, all hope was lost until 4 minutes left in the show and then all was figured out...4 MINTUES LEFT in the show (I am exaggerating, but only a little). I want fights and I want the Asgard back. I want to see season 1-7 again style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[Jediwan]

I was reading through Gateworld and the Asgard are back. Also the final episode it said that the Earth Alliance (Tauri, Jaffa, Asgard, and possibly others) will have their ships flexing their muscles.

Indeed,I hope so too. Vala & O'Neill (now that's intresting). However if Jack ever did come back, I would love to see his relationship with Sam to grow.

Because in an alternate universe Sam & Jack are married . (I'll really like to see how that happen.)

Do anyone of you Tivo Atlantis or download the episodes? I was out of town and someone with children was dog sitting for us and when I tried to watch "The Tower" tonight it was only 3 minutes long....someone stopped the recording of the show. I have tried to use bit torrent, but can't find a good torrent. Do any of you have the file, or have Tivo so you can give a copy?

[Jediwan]

Actually Gateworld had an announcement about that about two weeks ago. None of the Atlantis episodes until they are rerun will be able to be recorded by Tivo. I believe they will start rerunning them in March. But sorry I don't have the files MC.

[eddie]

I have just recently become really addicted to Stargate: Now I have bought the movie, as well as Season One of both SG1 and Atlantis!!! I am gonna watch everything in the right order (although this means that I will have to put Atlantis away for the time being and watch the first 7 or 8 seasons (also buy them style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif ). I also want to watch the episodes and read about each and every one of them in the Companion guide...

Question: Are the comics and fiction-books worth buying?

Haven't read any of them, but I would definitely give them a try.

Yes I believe those novels do contradict the timeline. They follow after the Stargate movie, and not the series. I've only read one, and it was okay.
