I know age is a factor. But Richard Dean Anderson was literally the best thing in a show of amazing cast. The golfing through the stargate episode was awesome. Lmao

[@robd1329]

That was one of the Best episodes ever filmed for sci fi tvA

[@gownerjones1450]

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.

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 😅

Stargate is just insanely cool. While other scifi franchises are often either just sci or fi, stargate is a unique combination of actually believable and almost real science, and equally believable yet purely fantastical fiction.

[@user-un8tv1pp8m]

I agree. I liked all of the shows, but SGU was by far the most arresting of them. Fallible characters in conflict with themslves and others, fighting for life, hope, love... stories spanning a long arc, exploring power dynamics and ruthless humanity... It was simply great, and while I understood the fanbase feeling a bit estranged - it was like getting the new generation of the franchise. SiFi TV grown all up. A shame, anyway.

Im glad you got to see all the series. Its in my opinion its one of the top shows out there. My wife and I have started rewatching the shows on Prime. Im kind of jealous of her because she doesnt remember them like I do. So each episode is all new to her.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Christopher Judge is absolutely incredible in this series, with an incredibly honorable end in the movie, i'm so glad he was cast to be the voice actor for kratos in god of war!

He was in the dark knight rises too. Cut him out because he was bigger in height and musculature than the guy who played bane.

I love it when he does not get the English idioms exactly correct. Untamed equines could not prevent me instead of Wild horses couldn't drag me away.

[@mancamiatipoola]

Not only that but he was also a writer and co-producer during the show with significant creative input. He even tried his hand at directing a few episodes. For him and his co-nationals this was the role of their career.

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

I love that quote. And the actor. Nails the line.

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

And even funnier is when he DOES gets the English idiom exactly right, but his friends were prepared to hear him get it wrong. They give a quick facial reaction of surprise that he got it exactly right, but do not mention or respond with words. Then O'Neill says " yeah what he said".

Stargate SG-1 is by far one of my favorite shows of all time. Both me and my father served in the military (him Army, me the Marines), and we both agree that the show is the absolute gold standard for how the military should be portrayed on screen. No other military themed show even comes close in my mind to portraying the mindset and culture of the US armed forces as well as SG-1.

[@sharonfavorito5410]

Lifelong sci-fi fan but due to life’s needs never found Stargate until I was 70. I think I have watched SG1 series 5 or 6 times now. I am on season 6 for another go round.

[@jorislemoine1488]

You haven't even mentioned the music! The theme song was there from the get-go and I still get thrills hearing it. The sound design and music department were stellar allowing the show to veer between comedic and dramatic in a way that even the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn't truly mastered.

@Rob Mintz WE dude, you do you. SGU was more like one big story with secondary mini stories, direct oposit of all the others, where you have different story each week and the main story comes second. I always prefered series that have focused on the main plot more than the individual mini plots (like Expanse for example). SGU was that.

[@miloswishorb1163]

The original movie deserves so much more recognition 😩

It really does. If it wasn't for the original movie, there would be no Stargate TV universe. Don't get me wrong, I've watched SG1 and Atlantis and like them.

[@JosipMiller]

Agreed. Creating "universes" around original movies diminishes dignity of source material.

[@ghost7524]

@Darryl Ruiz But remember, they changed the Kurt Russell movie Jack for the TV show. Richard Dean Anderson's TV Jack isn't playing the movie version. Whose to say that the movie version couldn't have been good in the TV show? I agree that James Spader's movie Daniel was great.

[@kaeok8869]

Universe was amazing i adored it the way it ended is the only real injustice Stargate as a brand has truly suffered

[@briano6115]

When you talk about Stargate, you HAVE to mention David Arnold who wrote the opening theme and thematics for the film. This is a true overture. All of the elements of the opening theme are layed out in true overture presentation, and to have such a work as this proves that such a classical form is still worth its weight. Personally, I would like to classify Arnold's Stargate overture as one of the greatest thematic pieces written in the modern age. And yes, I love the movie too ! :)

[@TheFiown]

I just watched 'Origins', never so bored with a movie that I paid to Watch !! SO I bought the first 7 seasons of SG1 to Watch that !

[@Maples01]

WHY, because syfy decided showing ghosthunters and wrestling was more important, so I turned them off!

[@trance_trousers]

Never watched Atlantis or Universe, but absolutely LOVED SG-1! I would always eagerly look forward to each new episode and was rarely disappointed. The characters, storylines, and humour were great.

[@leeschuler7826]

As a franchise I've probably re-watched SG more than even ST. You need to watch Atlantis. There's a couple of episodes I've watched over more times than I would admit-- Rodney and his sister.

I like how the US Air Force made Richard Dean Anderson an honorary colonel. I remember watching this when it aired on Fox 5:00pm during the weekdays. Then eventually Syfy channel got their hands on it and I was hooked.

[@fakecubed]

@@ruben34 Eli was the audience stand-in. There was no way they were going to actually kill him. He was either going to repair a pod and sleep with the rest of them, or there was going to be some Deus Ex Machina that saved him and the crew from having to be asleep for the rest of their loved-ones' lives. Knowing Stargate, it would've been the latter, but I know for a fact both options were being discussed in the writers' room.

[@petrolhead0387]

I can confirm that SG-1 was huge in the UK. I loved it right from the pilot, took me a while to get into Atlantis because there was no Teal'c. But I grew to love it as much as SG-1, abandoned Universe after 3rd episode. It felt like they were too busy trying to create character backgrounds instead of good plots. You shouldn't start doing backstories until the characters have been properly established, and people start to get curious about their origins.

[@maxbootstrap7397]

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).

[@carasmussen27]

yes and we also love Firefly. That was such a huge mistake to cancel after only one season

[@slothystyle]

A new Stargate series would do very well today too as space SciFi shows are very popular.

[@childofthesun32]

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. There'd be some dickhead heathen scandal and the team would save the day. I got to Season 5 still with the feeling that "I was waiting for it to get started". I'm a Star Trek man, through and through though. Stargate is.... Ok.

[@slothystyle]

@@childofthesun32 Understandable, I used to say the same thing but if you dig into the history of the ancients, earth was their home planet in the milkway and they populated planets in the milkway and even teraformed them to be like earth so humans can live on them. That's why a majority of the planets they visited have similar earth like features.

[@childofthesun32]

@@slothystyle My annoyance with that comment was someone once described Star Trek as being about them "beaming down to a planet that looks the the US countryside populated by farmers that all speak English". I was pretty annoyed at that. I was like "U WOT M8?? You're confusing Star Trek with Stargate, man. Also.. There's an actual reason why people all speak English in Star Trek... They're using Universal Translators. Tell me the reason why a bunch of aliens (who may or may not have originated from Earth in Ancient times)... All fucking happen to have developed the same English language lol? Stargate is almost trash to me. It's watchable. But it's just junk food.

[@CesarMarin33]

New amazing series would be Stargate: The Ancients

[@daddystork8132]

Cesar Marin Well Cesar, while I happen to agree, SGU, SG1, & Atlantis, all seemed to be drawing closer to ‘finding/understanding’ them, I’d say, let’s ‘discover’ the ancients with our modern day comrades, first, then after we learn about them from the modern characters perspective, and only then, would I even feel prepared to learn about them, the ancients, at least to learn about them, their perspective, reasoning, and logic behind them creating the SG system... hope that made sense... so while I agree, yes, very great pitch for a way forward, for me personally, I don’t feel like SG1, Atlantis, and especially SGU are done understanding them yet; in other words not ready for that ‘reveal’ until the other plot lines are concluded in their understanding of the ancients...
