Was watching andromeda, then started watching farscape, and already watched stargate. Is there a single one of these shows where the main characters arent crippled by extreme moral faggotry? Like a show where the main dudes are just in it for themselves. I like sci fi adventure but every one starts to feel samey and predictable when they always do whats right no matter what and save the day at their own expense.

>>211824219
NO! NO GOOLD!

>>211825345
the show you want is babylon 5.

president sheridan is going to bring his alien space fleet to conquer his homeworld because filthy psychers cant be trusted.

>>211825229

>>211825345
>Is there a single one of these shows where the main characters arent crippled by extreme moral faggotry
dark matter is two eras away from the shows you mentioned but it does feature a crew where some of the characters get to act like scumbags from time to time. it's by no means devoid of moralfaggotry, but it is more like a show where 50% of the crew get to act like rigel or firefly jane pre-"character-development". the other 50% are moralfags to various degrees, some less obnoxious than others but you get satisfying moments where they get put in their place.

Amazing what a lab coat can conceal.

>>211827013
Incidentally, Dark Matter's creator was the very same guy who as show.runner to Atlantis cancelled it so he could have BSG meets 90210.

>>211827183
interesting, i can support cancelling atlantis but i can't support season 1 of SGU.
controversial individual but i can 100% guarantee dark matter isn't as soapy as sgu season 1 nor as grimdark as bsg. it's genuinely a fun original show which managed to establish a surprisingly rich and complex lore for the time it had. even the fact it was cancelled early doesn't sting as much because of how well it was able to develop its storylines.

I will never not be mad that they weren't given enough time to resolve the main plotlines.
Just a perpetual fucking cliffhanger for both of them after rushed and unsatisfying series finales.

>>211827414
you can't really resolve a quest to unravel a pattern in the background radiation of the universe but atlantis should have been ezpz if anyone gave a shit.

Huge fan of all of Stargate. But recently discovered Battlestar Galactica (the 2000s series) and it might now be my favorite scifi show.

>>211827464
>you can't really resolve a quest to unravel a pattern in the background radiation of the universe
True but finding a way back to Earth for most of them at the very least would've given some closure. Leaving Rush, Eli and a few others on the journey.

I can fix her, not that there's anything wrong with her, but she would be better if she was filled with my babies.

for me it's the last SG-1 direct-to-DVD movie that was supposed to give a logical conclusion to that part of the franchise by revealing the existence of the Stargate to the public.
I'm still mad they couldn't even adapt it to comics (probably because they reused many plot points for SGU, they also did that with some of SGA S6 plots)

>>211828077
That's true. SG-1 wasn't left as open-ended as SGA and SGU but it didn't really *end* properly. Just left off with SG-1 in the field exploring the galaxy as per usual only there's no big bad anymore.
Would've been nice if the characters had gotten some more conclusive 'where they ended up' stuff, like Carter becoming a General and Teal'C becoming leader of the Jaffa nation etc.

>>211827464
If season 1 of SGU had just been more like season 2 from the start I think it could have been a lot more popular and not have been cancelled so soon.

i'd settle for a six or ten episode miniseries of sheppard and mckay roaming pegasus in a broken down jumper trying to find ford and bring him home.

Expanse's popularity should've lit a fire under their asses to go for it but oh well

explain the appeal of this franchise to me. I've only seen the original film and thought it was cool, so I don't understand how "portal that takes you to an alien planet where Egyptian mythology originated from" became "space dogfights with fully crewed human ships against ancient aliens with far more advanced technology, also oh we're still in the opening years of the 21st century btw"

It's the team, simple as. I rewatch for Richard Dean's shenanigans. By season 4 they've all have grown on you, as will the aliens and such. I just love the bantz between them. Focus on that and you'll forgive the Unavoidable obviousness of every forest being somewhere in Canada, and I've been a die hard fan since 1998.

>Terrans are extremely opportunistic and want to acquire alien technologies at all costs
>they explore dozens of planets with daily missions
>eventually convince a few alien races to ally because they are outnumbered, whereas Terrans have plenty of cannon fodders
>in exchange aliens give Terrans access to more advanced technologies
>all of the most brilliant scientists of the planet are recruited to understand and develop these alien techs
>eventually find an Ancient alien city filled with preserved alien tech ready to be used
but even t the end of the series Terrans never have more than 4 operational spaceships at any time. sneaky commando attacks and hacking the aliens' own tech is still their main tactic.

if we were to be very real the Terrans' tech progression actually feels WAY slower than it could have. only a handful of technologies (mostly the spaceship-related ones) become actual staples, whereas a ton of very powerful one-off techs are ignored without any proper justification.
if they had fewer episodes to fill the Stargate series could have been written with a very different tone, with fewer random alien techs but with Terrans trying to militarise every single one of them in an even more opportunistic way. it would feel more like an espionnage series with grayer morals.

that's basically SGU

>Cameos from TWO Air Force Chiefs of Staff
Crazy for a somewhat niche sci-fi series.

>>211827183
>>211827255
Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie didn't start actually writing full episodes until halfway through season 1. There's a pretty clear tone shift in the show and they start undoing all the bullshit people hated, then they went on to write the majority of season 2 which was infinitely better than season 1.

>>211834963
The very worst episode of SG-1 is The Other Side, where nazi Odo is literally offering no strings attached fusion power and laser drones but because there are blond people sleeping in pods this is bad.

>>211834205
I love how he kept advancing in rank between the shows.
There was also an airman on the Daedalus I think who kept getting promotions between the seasons.

>the SGC literally exists because O'Neil and then Hammond were humane enough to not nuke Abydos blindly
>chuds are still mad that they once refused to take part to a conflict they had nothing to do with
also you conveniently ignore the Kelownia storyline which was very similar and spanned two seasons, with the SGC actually getting involved. but it had no nazis stand-ins so of course you don't care.

>>211835316
the Air Force practically funded the whole franchise after the movie, no wonder there's cameos

>>211835454
They did that quite well with all the characters, which really gave a sense of progression to the whole setting.

I think you're thinking of Marks. Who shows up as a Lieutenant on Prometheus then reappears as a Captain then finally a Major.
Reynolds' first appearance is a Major at area 51 then reappears a few years later he's a Colonel and SG team leader.
There's also Pierce, who starts off as a Major but his last appearance is Colonel in charge of the Alpha Site.
Carter of course goes up from Captain to Major to Lt Col then full Colonel across the course of the show. Kind of poetic I guess that she ends up the same rank that O'Neill started the series at.

FLASH! AAAAAAH!

after years of rewatches one of the biggest issues i have with the show is they never really increased in tech even tho we know they got lots of new tech(from other teams and worlds obv)
like the tech they did show off they never work properly.
imagine if sam actually trained with the wrist device, that would happen in reality but they limit this shit cause its a show.

>>211838479
yes that happened but jack went full retard by not letting the guy with the knowledge actually come thru and help them. jack murdered the guy because "nazi"
really went against jacks nature and job since his whole purpose is to bring back superior technology. letting one "racist" live to save your world and countless others from the snake people seems like an easy choice

>>211845548
To be fair the underground aryans weren't just 'racists' they were also actively pumping poison up into the atmosphere with the intention of wiping out all other life on the planet which is why the 'breeders' kept sending wave after wave of bombers at them despite suffering enormous casualty rates in the process (iirc they mention that 'most' bombers in every single wave are destroyed).

But while that may justify letting them be destroyed, letting the guy splatter against the iris when so much could've been learned from him was definitely a stupid moment.

>>211851986
He had a fairly natural progression of becoming more confident and assertive and aggressive over time. Working in an armed military capacity is bound to change someone, so after several years of this being his daily job I would expect him to improve his skills and become more competent. Him constantly dying and coming back to life completely strips all stakes out of anything he does, at that point he's just Daniel Ex Machina.

>>211852168
If I remember correctly dead-Jackson was revived by Sarcophagus twice and Ascension/Descension twice as well.
There was also the WhatFateOmaroca thing where everyone thought he was dead but he wasn't really.

Yeah, that was quite cringe and I almost dropped the series after that episode. They toned her down, making her a compliment to the team instead of a source of conflict.

>>211858609
I still find it funny that they just completely abandon the idea of language barriers being a thing and everyone across the galaxy peaks English

They don't even handwave it with something like "we stole a shipment of universal translators from the go-a-uld"

>>211858701
GOOLD?

>>211858789

>>211858701
having the first 10 minutes of each episode be "daniel tries to communicate while oneill stands there rolling his eyes" would probably get old fast, but I don't think they ever explained it in-show.

>>211858876
I definitely agree, but it seems weird to not even make mention of it when a huge chunk of the movie was around actually communicating with the other humans

Some sort of translation technology would be an easy handwave - they could have even used it as a plot point for some future episode if they wanted

>>211859003
Mallozzi said (offhand, jokingly) it was translator microbes and then in one of the books they had it as DHDs doing translating (Earth doesn't have a DHD, which is why it didn't work in the film).

Or if you want to treat the show as an office-style documentary, then the aliens don't speak english, they cut out the "learning the language part", and the producers dub over the alien language in English to make it easier for the audience to understand (leaving some in where appropriate for dramatic effect like O'Neill's Ancient phase)

>>211858665
That wasn't even for an actual streaming service. It was for that retarded service MGM tried to start solely for Stargate. They tried to do that for all their franchises and it failed spectacularly. They had a yearly service plan and they gave it away to the first 100 people that signed up free. Then they called it a bust 6 months in and refunded everyone, even those people that got it free. MGM is truly the most retarded film studio.

>>211860961
They probably saw what people were willing to pay for box sets and thought they'd be able to get those people to spend that money on a streaming service for that show instead. Since box sets have to go through retail channels where each level is taking a cut, streaming would do away with that revenue sharing. The capital and operational costs of streaming has turned out to be bigger than what most companies expected, especially for high volume users. Then there's resistance from buyers at not getting a physical item that's their property forever without reoccurring costs.

Indeed, Meredith is my favourite character

What is your favorite catchphrase from the show(s)?

Why don't they make shows like this anymore man? I hate tv now

>>211866884
I love de Boer and can't fault her at all. She was great with what she had to work with, though I wasn't crazy about the little girl lost unconfident Dax.

But personally I would have fired Farrell very early on. She couldn't speak technobabble and sound like she had the slightest clue what she was talking about. Trying to find something to do with her and pairing her up with Worf was just fucking painful. Her Klingon shit was the crap she strugged with the most.

Her character was obviously designed to be killed off if necessary, and it was gutless of them not to do it when it was obvious it wasn't working - especially when the Klingon shit would have given them plenty of opportunity. Bitch couldn't take a bat'leth to her Curzon-influenced overconfident arse while fighting a Klingon twice her size?

I had no problem with the concept or the way she looked. The Curzon history with Sisko and the 'old man' shit was a good idea, but they should have passed the torch at most by the end of season 2. Would have given Sisko more to do and more to do with their friendship.

de Boer could have done way more with it if given it earlier, and even then it would have been fun if they killed Dax a couple of times over the series, so the audience was familiar with her past incarnations and could see their influence, and her struggling with them.

Ideally you'd have some other Trillfags kicking around the station so you got to see them in their pre-joined character for at least a season before getting their switch flipped to the Daxified version - and what actor wouldn't love that shit?

Total missed opportunity, and for what? To give Terry fucking Farrell job stability? Bitch was just as stilted and shit in that fucking sitcom she did after, but she'd be fine doing modelling or whatever the fuck she was doing before.

Katie Brown was a better match for McKay than Dr. Keller but I get why they wanted to have a reason to give Jewel Staite more screen time.

>>211867171
Fuck she was great. Most serendipitous casting option since Leslie Hamilton. Totally fit the part and their banter was first rate. Gotta love it when they show some n00b the stargate for the first time and was done really well. Pity they didn't do more episodes than they did with her.

>>211867352
She (the character and actor) wasn't believable as a science officer, much less the chief science officer. She was fine as a general administrative officer and that should have been her role.

>>211867466
Agreed, she was cute and the real brother/sister dynamic was great. All those familial shortcuts you can take when talking to your siblings came through to the screen well. It looks like they had a lot of fun making these episodes.

Reading Rainbow Nigger was a little shaky when he started with that shit, but he actually got better. She never did.

How could you play a character like that and never bother actually trying to understand at least some basics. Not doing that is like some kind of reverse-Method Acting but only applies to science. Like if you were going to play a cop and shoot guns, you'd learn something and haul your arse down to the range at least once right? Producers should have put that bitch in science 101 night classes or something.

>I wasn't crazy about the little girl lost unconfident Dax
After six seasons of wooden acting and shiteating grins that always culminated in
>I can do this because of a past life and also I am very silly and irreverent because of my past lives and much experience and wisdom which is why I act like a sassy teen except when I go raaaaah klingon blood oath raaah

Having a Dax that struggled with herself from the start would have been GREAT, because suddenly we have a character with all the experience/wisdom and none of the confidence, a perfect foil to early Bashir who was the exact opposite. Both competent of course but having them meet in the middle would also have been a great way for them to connect organically (if you know what I mean)
Tell me Im wrong

>>211867646
She did a Troi and just enjoyed being the pretty girl that didnt give a shit. Too bad that Troi only had Crusher as competition while DS9 had that smoking hot piece of feisty ass Kira walking around. Im not a good judge of how "well" someone acts, but its blatantly obvious that Nana actually gave a shit about the role

>>211825345
Farscape. They do shit like cutting off pilots arm and betraying each other for alien pussy. During the beginning of the show they really were actual dirtbags.

>>211835538
And wormhole xtreme literally spells it out. If anything gets leaked they can just point to stargate and say they got it from there.

>>211868008
kira is pretty but not even remotely in the same league as terry. acting wise, yeah, she's miles better, however kira the character is an annoying cunt

>>211868023
As i said i already watched farscape. Finished it just now as a matter of fact, and i dont count it because johns moralfaggotry was strong enough to go around. I did enjoy the occasional rigel dickery, and scorpius was great but 95% of the time it was john crying and shitting himself because he had to do consider maybe thinking about doing something bad. Honestly john was worse than dylan, at least dylan had less qualms about killing his enemies.

>>211868171
I didnt mention it but i already watched firefly, but this was a while ago so i might rewatch it later. I did like the characters in firefly but the only reason im hesitant is i remember it was cancelled too early

>>211868234
Only got one season but it's a very solid season
They made a movie which does a pretty decent attempt of cramming an entire Season 2 into a single movie, with a few very obvious signs, but worth watching if you did like the first season so at least the main narrative arc is wrapped up

>>211867957
>Tell me Im wrong
I can't. That would have been good, but I can see what they were doing with Jadzia - just a pity about the casting.

It was impossible to hate cute little pixie cut Ezri at the end of the day, and that would have worked fine if she'd had more time for her character to go somewhere, but right at the end it just wasn't the best choice.

Again getting rid of Farrell early on would have been the best move because you could establish that a symbiont gives you uber-confidence and all that crap, then kill her off, emergency transplant, and then have confused Ezri get her shit together over a couple of seasons for a complete arc. Her death would be tragic, and then have a best-of-both-worlds trained Trill that has Jadzia's Curzon-confidence and Ezri's cute demure aspects, and so you get like a confident science bitch who is girly, not annoying and is not going to get herself killed by being stupid trying to fight hand to hand with evil Martok from the mirror universe or whatever.
ie. You get to see their best traits integrated into the final result instead of just being told about their past lives.

I actually wonder if they had something like that in mind originally and they were just following the original plan when there obviously wasn't enough time. Maybe they figured if they got another season they could just stick the landing with Ezri.

>>211868386
I watched the movie already too.

>>211868008
Nana, Renée, armin, mark, Aron, and Andrew were the best actors on the show.

>>211868136
Nah nana visitor is way hotter than terry, the Kira makeup and outfits just usually weren’t very flattering. She has those big doe eyes and a way better ass.

wasnt the Mr Robot guy working on a new reboot?

This is the weirdest episode in all of SG1 I think.

It's like someone who never read a stargate synposis or watched it for 5 minutes - got to write and direct an episode. It's not particularly bad or anything - but the tone is so different.

>>211870766
It was supposed to be a comedy episode, I guess. Just a vague filler idea. Like the one they had to pretend to be terrorists. You can probably think of some other weird stuff as well, but nothing comes to mind.

Season 7 of SG1 was honestly the worst of the entire series. Richard Dean Anderson had completely checked out of filming. He was a glorified special guest that would sit in a room and "react" to things happening while Teal'C, Carter and Jackson actually went around doing stuff. RDA was also guilty of this to a lesser extent in season 6 as well. The last season he was fully committed was season 5.

>>211875962
To be fair when RDA took the job he probably didn't expect it to last more than three or four seasons just to tide him over until retirement.

is the movie canon to the show at all? or just a loose interpretation?

>>211876026
I don't really blame RDA. His motivations were entirely understandable. He had spent his entire adult life working like an animal. Him taking time to go raise his daughter and be a father/husband is an honorable thing to do. I blame the writers/show runners/networks for not just cutting him loose of the leading role(which they finally did in season 8).

>>211876173
Remember that time when O'Neill was invisible?

>>211876292
Wrong pic.

>>211876344
>>211876292
You weren't entirely off with your first pic. He had like one scene in that episode and it was a 30 second shot of him in an elevator talking to Daniel.

>>211836267
It's funny how sergeant Walter seems to be the only one who doesn't evolve and I think they even joke about it in one episode.

>>211876292

>>211876555
And poor Davis who couldn't buy a promotion lol. When he reappeared for the Atlantis finale he was STILL a Major.

>>211871732
I didn't understand this episode, couldn't they just move to the side?

>>211877062
No, because the end goal is to burn every inch of ground on the planet.

mfw it's time to repair an extremely unstable and dangerous device again

>>211877293
One of the best characters in the show. His deadpan responses to O'Neill's jokes are always perfect.

>>211877395
He was also his body double I think.

>>211875962
S7 was a glorious sendoff, it had lots of dumb goofy episodes (which were fun btw) but the entire Anubis arc was basically a crescendo of the entire franchise and the battle over antarctica still looks good, especially for a tv show.
I didn't even notice RDA checking out, I was too busy being invested and entertained. S8 was a pretty tired but also satisfying and more definitively final season tying up EVERY loose end (threads, literally), and I just ignore the last two since they add very little.
HOWEVER, I will say that I really like the early seasons as well. The mystery was still there when the stargate could go ANYWHERE and the galaxy was still infinite. Then it turned into nah the GOOLD rule everything lmao oh shit replicatorz!!!

>SGU never happened.
I liked it. Sad that it will never be finished, but at least they had sense enough to give season 2 something of a conclusion with the hibernation pods. We can just imagine Eli fixed the last pod and now they're all just hibernating to the edge of the universe. Hell, they could even restart the series from where they left off with all the same actors just by saying the pods malfunctioned and didn't slow down the aging process as much as they should, making everyone age by 15 years. Any actors who can't return, you just say their pod failed and killed them or that they have to stay in it (giving the actor a chance to come back).

>>211884356
I liked the idea of a more serious Stargate show but they leaned into it way too hard in the first season. The series has always had a bit of humor but they went full BSG and it didn't fit the show. By the time the curse corrected in season 2 it was too late as the network was only looking at S1 viewer data.

>>211882178
>>211884356

SGU felt out of place and happily fans agreed.. They threw away 5 Million viewers for a rip off of BSG.No mercy!

>>211885336
I still think if they were given a third season it would have picked up in popularity quickly, assuming it maintained the same tone and quality of season 2. I don't blame anyone at the time for giving up on the show early into season 1, though. I recently watched it for the first time and even knowing it was only 2 seasons and wanting to complete the whole Stargate franchise it was hard to keep myself going through all of season 1, so I can't imagine what it must have been like watching it week to week and expecting it to stay the same forever. BUT if it had been given a third season I bet it would have picked up more viewers and gotten even more seasons, and today it would be the kind of show where people say, "It's really good, just power through season 1 and it's worth it! Skip season 1 if you have to, it gets so much better!"

>>211885708
Agreed. The show had only just started living up to its potential when it finished. Shame.

Another year has passed
I'll have to rewatch the whole thing
Again

Stargate franchise airing: 1997-2011. 14 years
Stargate franchise being over: 2011-2025. 14 years

>>211888653
I'm honestly just happy that it's staying dead. That fate is preferable to whatever the fuck they're doing to Star Trek.

>>211888725
Oh I know. It's just how back then it felt like the franchise had been on the air forever yet now the SGU finale feels just like yesterday.

It's also interesting to see the huge advancement in CGI quality from the start of SG-1 to the end of SGU.
The advancement between the end of SGU and now is very little by comparison.

An accurate portrayal of femoid behaviour when their men go off to fight.

Though in Sha're's case she was possessed by a goa'uld so I'm not sure if 'cucked' really applied. Bitch literally had no control over her actions, she was basically raped.

>>211889043
To be fair you can't really say you've got cucked when your wife's body was taken over by an ayy lmao parasite
Teal'C didn't really get cucked either, and the bull got hit by three retcon blasts, so it'S OK

No it wasn’t he was always an actor that’s why they gave him long shitty hair and glasses and stupid clothes in the beginning because Micheal shanks is way to handsome

Over the years they let it slip I guess to show how Daniel Jackson was becoming more militarized, strong and confident? Idk probably Micheal shanks demanded he become the hot guy on the show
