I personally liked Jonas Quinn and enjoyed his character. But I did miss Jack's and Danials interactions when shanks left for that season.

[@abadenoughdude300]

Same. To think he'd be discarded by the fans by just not being Daniel is depressing.

[@sparrow420500]

I liked Jonas too. It's a shame they couldn't have found a way to keep him on the show WITH Daniel Jackson.

[@jensdroessler3575]

Fans! It says it all. Yes, they disliked Quinn just because he wasn‘t Daniel, even though there was only Shanks to blame for Daniel‘s absence. They basically punished Corin Nemec for Shanks choice to leave.

[@jamesmeppler6375]

I agree quinn was cool, but he was essentially an alien version of daniel Jackson. The more he was in the show, the more he acted like danielle

[@youcanthandlemyname7393]

i did not mind him but i felt they handled his character very poorly. first his introduction to the series was a result of him pretty much being responsible for the death of a fan favorite character which is not a good way to start off. second in a desperate attempt to get fans to like him the show made a mistake alot of shows and movies make and they made Jonas hyper competent. this essentially made him good at every thing and bad at nothing which is a good way to make a character completely unrelatable and get fans to root against them rather than root for them. he had other issues too but for the most part i think these are the main reasons he never really caught on with the fans. they also made some of the same mistakes with Cam Mitchel though to a much much less serious degree which is why he eventually did get accepted by the fans and they made none of these mistakes with vala which is why she was accepted immediately. holly wood needs to learn that you cant force people to like characters by making them hypercompetent because that just makes us root against them. you also cant make them super incompetent as that tends to just annoy fans and make them question what those characters contribute to the team. you need to make them competent yet flawed so they can hold their own whilst still having struggles and room to grow. i cant think of a better example of that than vala which is why i think she is as loved as any of the original cast.

[@wookie_ze]

Jonas ended up growing on me, that by the time he left Daniel felt more shoehorned back in

[@AeneasGemini]

At first, but after a few episodes he settled back in

[@1845Raven]

Agreed. I personally didn’t like Jonas replacing Daniel. But I really got to like Jonas after awhile. Jonas getting the boot was disappointing. And I’d gotten use to the show without Daniel, so I could’ve done without his return.

@@jamesjohnston1935 Same - The only problem I have with it being on Netflix is the TV-MA tag here in America because the nudity in the two-part pilot (even though it's not in any subsequent episodes), that and when you let it autoplay to the next episode, it cuts off about 30-45 seconds of whatever recap may be included. I binged it on Prime last year and none of that happened. The SG franchise seems to flipflop on-again/off-again on Prime so... yeah. I did manage to find the two direct-to-video movies on Tubi last month just after finishing another rewatch of SG-1 though.

Stargate is the only scifi franchise to come close to Star Wars and Star Trek in scale and fanbase. MGM's mismanagement of it was epic too. I'd be happy for someone to take the IP and do a full reboot going for the same tone in a "today" setting. Hell, can be the same universe but a different timeline since alternative timelines where the Stargate is (or isn't) figured out at different times is a thing already. The Stargate itself is probably the best TV series plot device ever!

We need another series so we can find out if Jack is still collecting episodes of The Simpsons. It's the biggest question the franchise needs to answer. Then we can learn about the Furlings.

[@Alimoo1971]

I was thinking the same thing few years back. after watching the show on DAD for the.... i can't remember how many times. but i wrote a story on who the furlings are and SG1 knows them as the tollans. Oh one BIG question that needs to be answered is 'did Jack and Sam every get together and got married'

[@BogeyTheBear]

Fact #11: Jack O'Neill's eyebrow scar came from an alternate dimension. At the end of the first season Jack begins appearing with a small part in his left eyebrow, the aftereffects of a scar. This had to be trimmed in with clippers by the makeup artist every episode because the actor loved the look. The particular episode when O'Neill gets that scar, however, was that alternate-reality episode at the end of Season 1.

[@Dc-alpha]

"I lost my Son", The spot on comedic nature of the episode up until that point morphing into tragedy with the delivery of those four words was and is amazing. The looks on Sam and Daniel's faces were amazing. My jaw dropped and I squirted a tear. Show me an "emotional" moment done a 10th as well in new Trek and maybe I'll start giving it the respect (very few) people keep telling me it deserves. I've shown this to non Sci Fi fans and got them to deep dive on all 4 stars.

[@glenwaldrop8166]

[@WardNightstone]

WELL apparently SOMETHING is in the works I've seen several articles talking about Amanda Tapping wanting to do something new stargate related

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

Poor Corey Nemic seems to be the story of his life (coming on the established shows and having fans hate his character to the point they're written out), the same thing happened on "Supernatural". He played something like a cousin to Sam and Dean, through their mother, the fans hated the Campell family so much they were abruptly revealed to be passed by, or working with, demons and dispatched pretty fast.

[@SkyeMpuremagic]

... It always comes down to money 😑

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

@@SkyeMpuremagic I don't know, the official explanation was that Shanks (I think in his own words) was tied of doiding paper-mache rocks and wanted to do 'more serious' projects. The implications being that he didn't find a lot of 'serious' work and had to come back. It's actually kind of common but they rarely get the chance to come bask. In his defense, he, at least, seems to have a sense of honor about it because it was used in that episode they did about "Wormhole Extrem". There was a bit bout the actor who played the Jackson-ish character leaving the show and coming back. It was actually kind of amusing. :)

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Yeah, the looped day episode was fantastic. I simply can't get over the part when Teal'c and Jack decide to have fun with the resetting and Jack resigns for the sole purpose of being able to kiss Sam. Then, after fixing the loop, when asked by Daniel if he took advantage of the loop, Jack merely stares at Sam with the most subtle "hehehe" look I've ever seen. While I always liked Jack, that bit is what sealed the deal for me deciding he was my doppleganger in the show because that was something I would 100% do. You can even tell that Sam had no problem with it when it was happening by the way she hugs Jack as they kiss.

Always read the f*cking contract! Guess that $$ made them short sighted. Then they killed Joe Flanigan and his investors attempts to lease the rights to stargate and continue it. Then they botched Stargate Universe and Stargate Origin horribly. Then to top it all off they have just sat on the franchise since. 😞

You missed the best fact. The P90s that became so iconic of the show were a relatively new firearm that fires a specialized cartridge, the 5.7. Since it was so specialized, basically only being used by the P90 and one specific pistol, there weren't a lot of blanks in production for it. The SG-1 crew used so many blanks they exhausted the whole supply of them and were forced to downgrade some characters from using the iconic sci-fi looking weapon to more conventional firearms.

[@FuckTheSinistans]

At the same time there was going to be a Stargate Atlantis movie called Stargate Extinction that told the story of how Atlantis got back to the Pegasus Galaxy after landing on Earth in the final episode. At the time it was thought that it might also be possible to do a follow up movie or get a season 6 of Atlantis after Stargate Extinction. Unfortunately partly due to the recession and rise of streaming services both were canceled. When Stargate Universe was canceled Brad Wright started pushing hard to get one last movie that featured characters from all 3 shows for the purpose of tying up loose plot lines from the three series

I miss stargate, it was great entertainment

I watched this all during my childhood on sci fridays. I spent hundreds of dollars in quarter on area 51 at the arcade. I was in afjrotc in high school. The day I earned my security forces beret in the air force was the fulfillment of my dreams of standing in hallways at parade rest 12 hours a day.

200 is so brilliant

Here's a fun fact. In the original movie, its stated that the stargate takes the team to the other side of the known universe. Where as in the T.V. show Abydos is actually quite close to Earth relatively speaking, and that is why that address still works.

Gotta hand it to you, at first I was like "there's a low chance I never knew about these", but I don't think I knew a single one of these.
