Were these any good? Worth a watch after all these years?
Recently remembered that the Sci-Fi Channel was a thing (fuck off with your SyFy newspeak bullshit fucking 1984 dogshit) and got a MASSIVE fucking itch to rewatch Stargate, tv shows included.
I remember OG SG being kino but were the shows any good? I remember catching a glimpse back in the day but it has been almost two decades now, I don't even have any hair left anymore...

GOOLD?

>>212225905
RE-PLI-CAY-TOOORS?

yeah its great. just skip the episode with shang tsung and you're golden

>>212225862 (OP)
SG1 is an awesome show.
My only regret about it is that I did not see it when it first aired. I don't know why I never saw it way back then.
But it's great. Atlantis is a good spin off too.

>>212225862 (OP)
The first Stargate movie was mid, barely worth a watch. How do the other movies and the shows compare to it?

>>212225862 (OP)
sg1 is unironically the best show ever made. sga is good too, just not as good as sg1. sgu takes a season and a half to become okay

Do the visuals at least somewhat hold up or should i stock up on beer for it?

>>212226221
They fucked up the early seasons by having the digital effects practically hardcoded into it so they couldn't redo them easily. It gets better later on.
Keep in mind it was done for tv back when the releases were still 480p levels of resolution.

>>212225862 (OP)
theres a naked chick in the first episode but never again

>>212225862 (OP)
No they were never any good, they made three shows and four movies over twenty years of carrying the SciFi channel just to troll everybody.

I watched it every now and then when it first aired and last summer I began watching it from the very beginning. I love it.
In fact I love it so much I made this.

>>212226012
INDEED.

>>212225862 (OP)
Sg1 is very Kino but eventually deals on for too long, Atlantis is alright but quickly becomes the Rodney show, never saw universe, watch farscape aswell

>>212226221
The first movie had decent visuals.

>>212226125
TV is pretty different tone wise, more comedy less melodrama
>>212226221
Aswell as you could expect from a fairly low budget 90's TV show

Ameterasu was so hot.

>Frasier gets wiped out by an errant staff blast while doing frontline medic duties for some reason
>Beckett gets blown up by an explosive tumour mere seconds from safety
>TJ's baby gets killed, her vision of it being taken to Eden by aliens is revealed to be false, then she gets ALS

Why did the writers hate medical personnel so much

Humans that have been transported through the chappa'ai thousands of years ago independently developed flecktarn,
They also happen to be speaking english despite modern english only coming to existence just after 1066,
Truly incredible.

>>212228535
It was easier than spending 5 minutes every episode showing Jackson deciphering the local language.

Vaccine Causes... something.

must breed

>>212228587
Yes. completely ignoring the issue and having 5 minutes of each episode be about it are the only two options.

>>212230553
It's a good thing SG-1 discovered the Aschen plan in the early 2000s because if it was a modern zoomette instead of Carter that heard 'the vaccine causes sterility' she'd be all

>Were these any good? Worth a watch after all these years?

I watched the movie and am now late in season 1 of SG1. It's...not very good. It's not offensive, but I think at least in modern contexts it's just too quaint, short, and episodic to really accomplish great things. But I also think that contextually, that's just what shows were like in the 90s. They were low-budget, they were monster/problem-of-the-week, and they were hammy and overacted and campy.

If that is your thing, and it can be, then it's ok. The premise itself is a little ham-handed in the "Every culture everywhere was invented by aliums and the universe is just full of humans living in various tribal/medieval cultural stasis moments." is ok on paper but in practice just means that every episode takes place in period-fantasy costumes in the woods of Canada.

I don't know, it's ok? Not amazing, you're not going to remember any of the events of it, but it's ok noise.

BOOB?

>>212228587
While that is a point I agree with as well, they could've easily handwaved it with some gate based technology that translates for you and even made it a plot point in several interesting ways.
It would've easily even covered why it didn't work in the movie because the gate was buried so long ago and they have to update it in some fashion.

>>212225862 (OP)
Movie is great. SG1 is meh. Just lots of wilderness in very earth-like places with very much human people in ye olde attire which I guess makes them alien. But the acting is usually good so if you can suspend your disbelief a little bit then you should be able to tough it out. Atlantis was utter dog shit and whoever made that should be fucking shot.

SG-1 finds it's stride in season 2, season 1 is not very good or very indicative. Season 2 gives a good idea what the show is like.

>>212225862 (OP)

>>212228587
Not to do the whole BMW in middle earth argument, but the ability to connect and communicate with aliens is a pretty big staple of the entire genre of scifi and saves the audience a lot of faffing around. Not every franchise can have Universal Translators and Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

90s-00s network sci fi is comfy like nothing else

>>212225862 (OP)
They were fine. Pretty mid if I'm being honest, but that's okay.
The main draw is that there's a ton of content.

>>212228535
The Gould decided to switch to english and forced it on their planets.
Except Ra. He was oldschool so Abidos spoke Gould.
Their english matches modern english because a Gould sleeper agent created english on Earth.
But he was killed by George Washington.

>>212234028
Enough of this Hebrew nonsense

>>212228535
english was spread through the galaxy after they went back in time in season 8

>>212227901
>Unbelievably retarded take
They pretty much go through every sci-fi trope possible, I can't even think of a kidnap episode.
It's been years since I did a rewatch but there's some great tv in there.
> Stargate Command receives an incoming transmission, accompanied by an SG-1 IDC, and through the gate comes a small, crumpled paper note. Written on it, in Colonel O'Neill's handwriting (and unknowingly to them as of then, spots of his blood), is a simple message: "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES GO TO P4C-970. COLONEL JACK O'NEILL". Not wanting to take any chances, General Hammond orders P4C-970 be locked out of the dialing computer immediately to prevent the planet from ever being contacted.

They got captured almost every episode, it was probably the most overused trope

Hello

SG Movie > Atlantis > SG1 >>> SGU

>>212242327
If you fuck a replicator to the nanites go up your pee hole?

>>212242340
Fuck you, SGU is a treasure.

>>212242651
SGU was definitely picking up. Especially the latter half of season 2.
Mostly I'm just pissed off they weren't able to properly wrap up two out of the three series. I hate plotlines that are never concluded.

>>212225862 (OP)
I've only seen the cartoon.

Stargate SG-1 used to run on channel 6 in my country every weekday. I would watch as often as I could, they did multiple reruns as well, so I've seen most episodes but probably missed a few. They also showed Atlantis on Fridays, a long with some other sci-fi shows like Eureka. Really good times. The shows are definitely worth watching.

SGU took too long to get good, but I have a real affinity for Rush just being so right at the same time as being an asshole.

I also watched the first episode of Dark Matter, do you think that show is any good? I'm inclined to skip it.

>>212244432
>SGU took too long to get good, but I have a real affinity for Rush just being so right at the same time as being an asshole.
One of my favourite moments in the show was when Rush remotely sealed Brody in the stasis pods to make Eli think he'd done it himself by accident. Robert Carlyle was so good at playing a ruthless and sneaky pragmatist.

>>212242938

Oh anon, but they do conclude it. In official comic book form.

>6 issue drama filled conclusion!
>action! adventure! Mystery!?
>tldr lol turns out that there were ancients on the ship the entire time and they just fix everything :D

It was the first time in my life that I felt cheated for purchasing a piece of media.

>>212228425
jewish writers wanted to blood sacrifice a goy to boost their rating.

beckett was killed off to remind the goy actors who was in charge of the franchise since everyone in atlantis was enjoying too much success..

tj's baby was just more jewish blood libel by the schitzo writer that couldnt stop shitting on christians because of his uncontrolable hatred for amalek.

>why medical personal

because they are fan favorites but not brand holders. they are loved but not core to the show's dynamic. its easier to kill off side characters for cheap drama and rating boosts than a mc

>>212225905
You all are my favorite posters.
