Stargate: The Definitive History of the Franchise!

[@N1lav]

The attention to detail on Stargate was awesome. They didn't just materialise a ship out of nothing. First they got the alloy for the hull, then the engines, then the hyperdrive, then the shields. It was a linear growth. Regulars of the show were always rewarded.

[@thej3799]

I loved how it maybe possible because after the timescales of the seasons. The ship took 6, 7 years to get the prometheous? And barely working. As guard help without upgrading our weapons just to see if we could properly crew a real interstellar ship. Later the gate Bridge was genius blowing it up sucked

[@texivani]

This was the coolest thing to me, the series literally takes you, step by step, from humans never having left the planet or seeing aliens to them being a powerful space-age civilization with many allies across multiple galaxies. Every advancement (almost) has it's own episode.

Yeah I hate that many other franchises just do that and nobody questions the stupidity of it and they even break records... How many seasons it took them to finally build a 304 right?.. Even then there were issues and inexperience. They got help from other races both technically and informationally. They've been in and out of how many Hataks now 😅

Imagine you're a primitive culture with a mysterious ancient artifact on your world. Suddenly, after hundreds of years, the artifact comes alive, spins, makes sounds, hisses, a giant vortex of blue energy violently bursts forth, annihilating a few of the most curious onlookers, just to retreat back into an ominous shimmering liquid surface, bluer than the ocean and almost see-through from the other side. Hundreds of people have gathered around the artifact, some bowing to the gods they believe created the machine, others fleeing in terror. Then it happens. A tiny white ball flies through the ring. The blue energy disappears. That's it.

Once you peel away from the veneer of SG-1 and Atlantis and let it stand on its own as it's own entity but paying homage to what came before it. It is an absolutely phenomenal series. It was years ahead of its time. That show came out now it would be a smash hit

I'm still pissed too. I think they could of easily done 10 seasons total. Imagine if they finally figured out how to make ZPMs? And on top of that, got some more spaceships together, perhaps allied with some aliens, and started taking the fight to the Wraith. There's all kinds of neat technology they could of found in Atlantis, especially from the lab of the Ancient known as Jonas. The whole arc of becoming more like the ancients and slowly mastering that technology would of been awesome. Imagine a season 10 where, after finding more Atlantis like cities, they have multiple city ships and a fleet of Ancient/Asgardian support ships flying around kicking the Wraiths asses? I always feel like that show had only scratched the surface. And while I like SG-1 a lot as well, it has always irritated me that the superior show(imo) in Atlantis ran for only 5 seasons and SG-1 received 10.

Having been in the US military when Stargate SG-1 began in the 1990's I naturally loved it's very positive realistic portrayal of guys like myself rather than the usual Hollywood stereotypes of American soldiers as being mostly mindless idiots or right wing psychopaths, Don Davis was totally believable as Gen Hammond since he was in fact one of the few Hollywood actors since the Vietnam Draft ended who actually was a military veteran having served a couple years as a US Army officer over in Korea. I'm actually sort of glad the reboot never happened because I far preferred Dean Anderson's version of Jack O'Neill to the original one with no sense of humor and suicidal self-loathing. As Patton once noted you don't win wars by dying for your country. You win wars by making the other poor dumb SOB die for HIS country. My old man who was among the first Marines to march into Nagasaki after the Bomb was almost always smiling about something. You realistically can't do a job like that with no sense of humor or you'll go nuts,

Kurt Russel's Jack O'Neill was still suffering from his son's accidental death and with divorce coming up sure he was suicidal, but like Dean Anderson said himself the character arc of O'Neill adopting that native boy allowed him to have his surrogate son and help him defeat the tyrant thereby sort of making amends for failing to save his son life. I don't think a happy go lucky Jack O'neill would have worked in the movie.

As far as I'm concerned, SG1 and SGA are the best science fiction ever ... though I suspect Firefly might have given them a run for their money if it had a chance to run for a few years (though Firefly was a fairly different kind of show and thus might not appeal to every SG1 or SGA fan).

My problem with SG1 was nearly every episode was just them going to a planet that looked a lot like Earth's countryside, populated by farmers.

Universe is deeply underrated. It’s the vocal “worse. series. ever.” part of our fandom that criticises it. Flaws in SG-1 and Atlantis get brushed off, even though they weren’t perfect either. But guess what? They all have fantastic production values and stand each on their own, despite being imperfect. I don’t give a toss if Universe is the “ugly duckling”, I absolutely loved it, and reading through the comments here, seems I’m not the only one.

[@andreasneu302]

Agree. I'm only just getting into this franchise. I decided to watch Stargate Atlantis because I love anything Atlantis, so I thought hell I'll watch it I have NOTHING else to watch lol.

I love it and will now go back and watch the rest once I'm finished. I am so excited they are talking about a new one!!

Meh, I really hated SGU. I wouldn't force people to like SG1 or SGA but it's my opinion that SGU should've been it's own show targeting a different more grim audience. I was alienated by SGU and only gave it a chance because it was Stargate. There were some things I liked about it, and I've played with the idea that I might've liked the show more if it had not been Stargate and rather something stand-alone and original. A lot of people do like it though. Suppose that means it wasn't a total loss.

YES. It left me undone after discovering the signal. I'd LOVE to see how would they deal with the concept of "universe creators". I mean thats a plot worth watching, so many possibilities. Producers ended the show when it begun to really set off.

[@Dargonhuman]

That and Rumplestiltskin being the obvious villain and should have been ejected out of an airlock by the military as the show didn't need a villain at all made the show painful to watch more often than not. The look and tone were fine as the premise of surviving on their own with limited resources paired perfectly with the darker, grittier atmosphere, and the sci fi elements were great.

[@Scottlp2]

Alexander Inget SG1/A had wonderful humor and were beloved by fans, but perhaps were products of their time and cannot be done today. SGU took SG, subtracted the humor that everyone loved and gave it the BSG treatment. A pretty good SF show as long as you weren’t expecting SG.

[@oats9036]

SGU was Lost... In space. It was shit bud. SG1 and Atlantis on the otherhand were action packed episodes with wit, badassery, and the perfect amount of humor.

There were some episodes in that second season that were as good as any in the whole franchise. Robert Carlyle is also a powerful actor who really made the show work when it did. There were some deep problems though, and a criticism of people acting as professional military personnel was one of them. Unevenly acting talent and in your face social justice commentary that had nothing to advance the story line were among them. The basic premise of SGU was still a good idea and I really wanted to explore the Destiny and the stargate seed ships (aka how stargates would be placed all over the universe). Much more could have also been told about the ancients through this ship.
