We Finally Found a SciFi Series We Enjoy? Stargate SG-1

[@bensmith5064]

Should look into the pilot episodes for Earth 2, 1990's

[@rosshall6475]

Seems like a good show for you guys to pick up when you finish TNG. Ten seasons and two movies. There is definitely a lot of Star Trek in the show, if instead of Star Fleet you had the US Air Force and all the baggage that goes with that.

[@bobbyskinner3720]

You should definitely watch the first episode. As a pilot the small budget shows but it explains the team. It is much like star trek (episodic) in that each week offers a new independent story, but there is a overarching story that builds through out the series, so you can enjoy any single episode, but there is an ongoing story to follow. While I call it my second place SciFi series, in some ways it is better than Star Trek.

[@pauld6967]

I think you guys will like it. I have the entire series on DVD but Real Life has reared its ugly head and I have paused my rewatch mid-season four (if memory serves).

been watching this channel since they were on season 1 TOS and waiting with patient anticipation that SG1 would come into the watching mix. So when I saw this it made me so excited. I'm glad they watched one, but I so hope they'll add it to the rotation very soon. Maybe we need to hear a patreon goal to make it a reality!

Stargate SG1 is a fantastic show - well worth your time reviewing it properly.

[@DamienDrake2940]

Stargate did something that had never been done before. They start out in a modern day, real world setting, and gradually become a "sci-fi" show. And we see every step of that journey. They don't just find a magic object and advance 1000 years overnight. Hope you guys also react to the pilot (director's cut not the broadcast version).

[@dash4800]

they also come up with plausible, in universe, explanations for all the sci-fi stuff. Its not like star trek where they just babble off a bunch of nonsense that nobody could ever track to try actually understand the rules of the universe. In stargate you know the rules, and when something happens and they figure out an explanation you actually can follow it. You don't just shrug you shoulders and say "ok I guess", like you would in star trek.

I dunno, the director's cut had tighter pacing, but the broadcast version had full-frontal nudity. Kinda hard to choose...

[@michaelbreidenbach2834]

StarGate SG1 is one of the best Sci-Fi-series of all time! Season 1 is a little bit too fomulaic, but after that it's gold. It is also one of the first series that do have a true memory of earlier episodes, where earlier events are constantly mentioned and referred to. It is a problem-of-the-week series, but if they solved a problem a certain way, they don't forget that but (the writers) find ways, why it doesn't work this time - so they have to come up with something new. Can't wait for you to see the Asgard an Thor 😁.

The show so perfectly explores the ideas of the movie, with such great character chemistry, continuity, and progression, that by the time it's over... it's hard watching the movie anymore; It just doesn't compare.

Season 1 worked as the crew (and show) stumbling in the dark with having basically zero information about what they're getting into in terms of the galactic environment. It becomes more structured and things connect more as they become more aware of how things work in the wider universe.

[@brentoutashape9141]

Richard Dean Anderson agreed to the part because they told him he could do whatever he wanted with the character, rather than trying to imitate Kurt Russell, and his portrayal adds a lot to the character without ignoring the backstory.

[@rhaedas9085]

I love the movie, but the show would not be as much of a success had Anderson tried to copy Russell's character. His take on it worked so much better.

[@MrDraycanakatheotherbrit]

@brentoutashape9141 it was because of what Jack O'Neil experienced in the movie that he was more light hearted at least that's my take on it.

[@Valdore66]

There’s actually a running gag through the series that there are two O’Neill’s in the Air Force, RDA often refers to his name having two L’s, and at one point even references KR’s O’Neil as being “no fun at all”. (I forget the actual quote). So he kinda is, but isn’t supposed to be KR’s O’Neil!

[@krisdrake9529]

10 seasons and two spin offs. This series was so much fun to watch. Great characters and exciting stories.

[@memnarch129]

Likely the Torment of Tantalus was suggested cause it is deep lore wise. It shows the heights of what SG-1 does as a show. TNG does a lot of great episodes of the week. SG-1 is a giant 10 season long movie. Yes plenty of singular "filler" episodes where that particular planet/people/etc isnt directly connected to the main story but they all connect to the core theme of SG-1, what we as our current society, current for when it was made, would do and how we would handle dealing with a galactic threat and exploration. Also while yes Richard Dean Andesron replaces Kurt Russell his version of Colonel Oneill is amazing and a great take on the character. Kurt was great for the action movie that Stargate was. Richard is great for this series yet campy at times intergalactic romp. Also the supporting cast is superb. Christopher Judges Teal'c is a great character. And Id argue cause this came first that Sony likely wrote Kratos to act and sound like Teal'c. Also knowing the mythos of the entire Stargate series there is a cool kinda reason why they would LOL.

[@woidonmiguel1]

well said. And Michael Shanks as Daniel does a good job emulating James Spader, but he too makes the character his own and MUCH better.

[@FloatingFatMan]

SG-1 is one of the best scifi shows ever made and well worth more of your time. It has everything..

Stargate SG-1 is a planet of the week show, but each week can build more and more onto the lore. Jumping in at the wrong spot could be disorienting. I want to give the Patrons credit for selecting this one. It's own lore is self contained but it also serves as a follow up of the original movie.

[@TahoeNevada]

Chris Judge (Kratos, T'ealc) when he read the script for God Of War (2018) thought his agent handed him the wrong script. He thought it was an action movie, for a much more famous actor. Agent said it's a video game, and you *need* to do this!

[@christopherwanamaker828]

When I conducted 5 years of Uber/Lyft Rideshare driving there were several times I picked up customers and they asked me a serious questions and they said my character would be judged based on my answer to their question "Star Trek or Star Wars?" So, I would mess with them and said "I'm more of a Stargate fan first and foremost, then a Star Trek fan, then a Star Wars fan." And my answer either blew them away and they loved it or they were massively confused. It was so funny to mess with them. I'm a die hard Stargate fan I've watched all 10 seasons of Stargate SG1, 5 seasons of Stargate Atlantis, 2 seasons of Stargate Universe, and the TV series movies based off SG1 which was Stargate Continuum and then to finish the entire SG1 series was Stargate The Ark of Truth and I've seen all of these about 10-12 times. If your unaware both Richard Dean Anderson and Christopher Judge, who plays the roles of Jack O'Neil and Teal'c on SG1, they both played on the 80's hit series MacGyver, its what Richard Dean Anderson was mainly known for. Stargate SG1 started out kinda at a slow paced for 4-5 seasons with a mixed pot of good and bad episodes, and then between 5-6 the storyline writing got way better and deeper and it wasn't the same old story telling of exploring through the Stargate to an uncharted planet meeting aliens, exploring ruins, and searching for either technological or scientific research advances to advance and progress all of mankind. Season 8-10 were incredible, the stories were out of this world. Stargate Atlantis and Universe were more similar to Star Trek with more advanced alien technology and space exploration to it. So, I hope you guys checkout and run through the entire series and movies at least once.

[@sharp14x]

I hope you'll give Stargate your attention in the future - you'll find a significant amount of quality TV to wet your appetite when you run out of Star Trek.

Also, excellent job on the graphics, with the seventh symbol and the 90s CRT displays!

[@mightyrrt]

Even though I voted for this episode, it's not the one I would have picked as an intro to the series. I have a warm place for Stargate SG1. It did pretty well keeping itself "fresh" over a lot of seasons (although there are some obvious budget saving measures) and really seemed to appreciate its fans. I do think you should watch the first 2hr/2part episode. It does serve as a decent sequel as well as series premiere. And, as mentioned by another poster, it is better than the movie.

[@miller-joel]

It's criminal to watch just one semi-random episode. Specially on this show. They should just jump in and commit. It's one of the highest rated shows of all time, so it's a very safe investment. No one should have to convince them or bribe them.

[@Paulishdog]

I agree, not the episode I would have picked, especially for Star Trek fans. There have been so many times when they've complained on Star Trek and I've thought, "Stargate did that" and this episode wasn't a good example of that. But I'm happy they checked it out.

Had to add during the outro. Captain Doctor Samantha Carter is the smartest in the group. I really do hope you start the series from the beginning.

The pilot movie "children of the gods" to sg-1 is a direct "one year later" continuation from the movie that flows pretty well from the movies events. Worth a try at least.

One interesting thing from the post-episode discussion was the presumption that Catherine was a major character in the series.

Well I am one minute in and wanted to comment before seeing it. I am glad to hear you guys did see the film, it isn't really necessary viewing, but it helps a lot. What really impressed me was how much Michael Shanks version of Daniel Jackson, looked like James Spader from the movie. Stargate is easily up there among my favorite franchises, maybe not quite as high as Star Trek, but really darn close. I personally think SG-1 had a stronger season 1 than TNG, not the peak of the series, but strong enough I could see you guys getting into it. Anyways, like it or not, I am looking forward to seeing your reactions. I think Alex may find a kindred soul in Jack O'niell. Edit: Ok finished off your guys reaction, glad you seemed to enjoy it. I think if you guys were to do a season 1 reaction you would enjoy it, so hopefully this gets the views or engagement needed to make that happen/ Richard Dean Anderson (RD) who played Kurt Russel's character, was the original Macgyver and a fairly popular actor at this point in time. He was a major driver behind the creation of the show and it's earlier seasons. I was also just saying on your Buffy video how I thought an episode based around a guest character would be the best one for you guys to view as it wouldn't be bogged down by character development you had no context for. As you suggested, you missed a lot of context and story starting half way through season 1. I don't want to spoil to much in case you guys decide to watch this. But the show carries over a lot of plot between episodes, probably more so than TNG ever does, but it is still largely episodic. So you guys more or less hit the nail on the head. But the plot of the movie carries over, just the actors are different.

FYI, this and Star Trek DS9, were the first series to really incorporate serialized storytelling into its overall progression, so while there are certainly one-off episodes, it's far more serialized and not just, a gate of the week series.

Gasp! Stargate SG1 my beloved!!! So glad y'all posted this You got the gist of the episodic theme, once described on-screen as "We go through the Gate, we get into trouble, we get out of trouble, we go home." There is a good through-line of characterization even in the more episodic beginnings, but it definitely gets more connected as the seasons go on. Imo as far as episode quality goes it has fewer mad bangers than Trek but also fewer total stinkers. (many of those stinkers, unfortunately, in S1 lmaoooo). some eps are GOOD and once you get to know the characters you can really appreciate the ensemble nature of the cast. I have rewatched my favorite SG1 eps more than my favorite Trek eps. It IS very 90s and not a huge budget (the occasional clip show eps, oof) but the writing is usually just good solid stuff, sometimes dramatic and impressive and usually a rollicking good time.

YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER, AND YOUR FATHER SMELT OF ELDERBERRIES!”_ then running inside and saying “Be ready, he approaches.” before the God of War Thor shows up and hits the gate with lightning. 😆

[@admiralandy1983]

I still appreciate Stargate SG-1 episode 100 for making fun of itself and episode 200 for making fun of other sci-fi tropes.

[@marysweeney7370]

I hope to God you stick with it. By season 3, you will not regret a single episode.

[@JAYWALKER1000]

Teal'c of Chulak (Judge) is a lot like Kratos in his economic (terse. laconic) in speech pattern. He's the Spock/Worf of the series. Spock's tagline was "Fascinating!"; Teal'c's tagline was "Indeed!" and said once in God of War (2018) by Kratos - so it was a nod to SG-1 and not overkill.

[@WaylandYT]

A perfect easter-egg, fans of both will get it while the uninitiated will not notice anything out of the ordinary.

[@Verse84]

Before even watching the video I'll say that Stargate is the perfect show for you guys.

[@williampilling2168]

Of the four 'Star' franchises, Wars, Trek, Gate, and Search, this one is easily my 3rd favorite.

[@mikedowd420]

My star rankings are 1Gate, 2Trek, 3Wars, 4Battlestar

[@williampilling2168]

@mikedowd420 It's a joke from The Simpsons. Star Search isn't even a sci-fi franchise. It was a talent show competition from the 80s and 90s.

[@mikedowd420]

Fantastic show. Well worth your time. Another one that might be fun is Farscape.

I tried to seriously like Farscape, but I failed.

@@jvmauck I just couldn't get into the additions to the cast, but I did think that helium farts was a funny concept.

Welcome to peak Sci Fi guys!

[@welshlad691]

Stargate was a very good series, SG1 ran for ten seasons and became more sci-fi over time, its a pretty good watch if you ever do get around to it.

[@clearsmashdrop5829]

I think you will like the first episode. You really get a good dose of lore and origins.

[@chromosomeboo]

This series is amazing. Great character development, plot development and fun interesting cast of characters throughout the series. I hope you guys delve into it and give it a season at least. Cheers and I look forward to more TNG, STAR TREK and hopefully Stargate!

Stargate was half the reason that I joined the Air Force. It is one of my all time favorite sifi shows

[@UncleUncleRj]

one of the BEST sci fi shows.

[@davidge5856]

The Stargate producers LOVED Star Trek, so if you get into it, you'll see their versions of a TON of Trek episodes. And that's not a bad thing, ultimately.

[@kereminde]

I mean, except when it was. (*eyes "Emancipation"*)

[@cyberstormalpha789]

Even better: when all the Star Trek (or other sci-fi series) actors cross over to the role of the week!

[@subgum3403]

Sg1 is awesome scifi

[@j.rileyindependentproductions]

If I remember correctly, the reason they did that one scene in slow-motion is because it failed to look correct in standard motion. But with slow-motion it's harder to tell.

[@tinkinc85]

You're going to love it! Is a lifelong Trekkie as well as a Star wars fan and a die-hard Babylon 5 fan I still think Stargate SG-1 was the best written and best consistent television franchise Syfy ever

[@nelsonoberg9747]

Stargate SG-1 has a more accessible feeling because its based in modern day and adds in the sci-fi bits.

[@transitengineer]

When new, I watched the movie "Star-Gate" at the theater, and could only give it a grade of "C-". However, I was presently surprised when "Star-Gate SC-1" first aired on Showtime because, it was excellent. Even through over ten (10) seasons, this TV show was never less than an "A -". If possible, you really should watch the first two seasons. (smile ... smile).

[@SoloRenegade]

I'm suddenly feeling a strong desire to Rewatch SG-1, yet again. I love this show. I've watched it all the way through at least 3- times.

[@probably_afk]

This is the only non-st series I'll allow you guys to watch.

​Johnathan Franks on the set of Beyond Belief, "Bro has given you permision to watch the only Sci Fi show better than TNG, will you accept the invitation?" ​(Franks looks into camera #2 and grins) "You bet your ass, you're watching it." @@targetaudience

[@Budters]

Teal'c is one of the greatest characters in all of sci-fi, but so is the rest of sg-1 Sam is my favorite. The smaller cast then TNG allows for a deeper connection with the characters. And the cast is great, including the side characters. The story is epic, and fun at the same time. Thanks for giving this a chance 😊

[@Seastallion]

There is a reason Stargate SG-1 lasted for 10 seasons, had two spin-offs, and two movies separate from the original movie.

[@mikedowd420]

And that reason was because SG-1 is peak TV sci fi. this show is the GOAT.

[@po5283]

As with virtually every series, the first season has its share of rough episodes, but gets better throughout and will have you hooked by the end of the first season. Would love to see you guys choose this series for your next watch through and reaction series, have no doubt you'd have a blast and thoroughly enjoy the ride.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

But even the rough episodes are built around some pretty cool and interesting concepts.

[@po5283]

@@WarrenSmith1983 Absolutely, and some of them have great moments and dialog, but compared to the latter half of season 1 and onwards, you can really tell they haven't found their groove or hit their stride yet. They also tend to be the episodes, that people skip on rewatches of the season and or series.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

@@po5283 yeah I get why they would, but for me, the foreshadowing and lore setup always make the first season one of the most important, especially as they're basically flying blind at that point, and mess things up almost as much as they solve problems. I almost wish we could see a series from the perspective of the System Lords, as they become aware of these humans appearing and putting major thorns in their sides. Better still would be a series focusing on the rise of the Goa'uld, which would probably be more akin to Game of Thrones in space, and definitely not family friendly!

[@po5283]

@@WarrenSmith1983 I see your System Lords series, and raise you a series revolving around, and leading up to the societal split of the Ancients! Another interesting one would have been the Ancients in Atlantis, leading up to their inevitable withdrawal back to Earth. Always thought a series revolving around Janus, Merlin and Morgan Le Fay would have been really interesting.

[@WarrenSmith1983]

@@po5283 why not do both? Amazon could do for Stargate, what Disney did for Star Wars, just without overloading audiences with subpar series.

[@ThisisDD]

I had no idea you guys were going to do SG1 This is a great one. First season is rough, but really "grows the beard" in season 4.

[@eddiemidnite]

Shortly before SG-1 started Richard Dean Anderson was in a western comedy-drama called Legend. It only lasted half a season, but it wasn't terrible. His co-star in the show was John de Lancie!

[@TheystromReview]

My bff and I watched all of SG-1 in 7 months during our university years. I told this to Christopher Judge when getting his signature at a Con and his immediate reaction was "Holy shit" One of the most hilarious things about this series is the rotating pronunciation of Goa'uld as "gould", "Go-a--uld" The 4th episode of the first season of SG-1 was written by the same writer as the 4th episode of TNG, "Code of Honor". They have a ridiculously similar plot.
