Stargate: SG1

[Lasty]

Oh, the nostalgia... It went on for too long but the first couple of seasons were awesome. Started re-watching after over a decade.

[Lasty]

Nobody else used to watch this? Anyone? >__>

I'll let myself out...

[ghostrek]

@Lasty it's okay it was more or less a poor man Star Trek they go to a planet of the week fix a problem and go on

for a military SF so it's not really a good premise for exploration and diplomacy

Star Trek didn't have Richard Dean Anderson. SG1 > Star Trek case closed. It's not their fault they had the budget to make a handful of props they used over and over again and pay the actors. There was a Djembe, I swear it's the same one, that appears on several different planets... that didn't have west African roots...  >___>;  Still: Richard. Dean. Anderson.

is it good to stand for science fiction or  speculative fiction as a whole

[wacky1980]

The last season or 2 were kinda fun. Like, humans unlocked all the DLC from the galaxy and were taking down the intergalactic supers left and right. Of course.

I thought so but couldn't be sure

[SwimModSponges]

Last year my wife watched all the stargates. All the movies, all the shows.

All of it. 

Amanda Tapping did not age a day in that show, goddamn.

But always by the skin of their teeth! Like, every single time... "It's impossible!" "NO! Just unlikely... unlikely is our specialty."

No, no she did not. Amazing, must have been an actual host to some kind of extra-terrestrial parasite.

You hear what I mean about it going on for too long, though? Did she watch Stargate: Atlantis? Universe? Origins? The shitty cartoon, Infinity? I had no idea the latter three existed until I looked it up recently... they really rode that horse until they died atop it's corpse... I'll always love the first couple seasons of SG1, though.

Anywho, SG1 plays by their own rules. They have to in order to protect the Earth, and any random assed aliens they come across with very little information to go on to indicate it's safe.

@Lasty I do do that they do their do their own thing compared to Star Trek and it is a better franchise for being a little bit more military folks compared to a  Giant in the room of the SF television world but  but it is still in some way and shape it's a poor's  man Star Trek in my eyes but I am not I'm not saying this is a bad show I'm not saying this is a so I don't like I'm just saying it is in some ways reps off Star Trek and one way or the other but all other science fiction shows do that you ever notice how many anime science fiction shows use the Star Trek bridge layout I seen it in Gundam I seen that in other anime I have seen in other live action  sci-fi to television  and some Way start there's a Sci-Fi version of The Simpsons did the first it's called Star Trek did it first or Twilight Zone in some cases but you get what I'm saying

[SwimModSponges]

Star Trek is a poor man's Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

that's specific series came out in the 80s if you mean Buck Rogers in general yes and one way or another yes all fictions ripping each other off pretty much that's the fact of life mean I've been known to do that in my own fanfiction so did you sponges @SwimModSponges

[SwimModSponges]

Then you have no leg to stand on when you call Stargate a poor man's Star Trek.

 I'm not trying to defend it as though you were on the offensive, just speculating.  I wouldn't doubt that they ripped off Star Trek a number of times. All creativity is a combining of known elements in new arrangements. If the expectation is to make something 100% new out of thin air, then everything is a rip off and originality is impossible.

i agree  with you i have say  that some times fandom  is a like religion but I support is right and what you support is wrong and excetera excetera us you know but it's not like that it's just I like Star Trek More than  I like Stargate  or doctor who  or star wars you get what I'm saying? rigth? but it does not matter they're all fictional properties that does not have any impact on reality next to us being fans and getting some inspiration in our lives from them  at times

Don't get me started on Universe. I liked the concept of having a more mature Stargate show, but they fucked up by assuming mature means a bunch of meaningless sex scenes and relationship drama that was on a scale with Lifetime dramas. And the one fucking chance they had to really show themselves as something different, they undid everything so there were no real consequences. They wasted talent like Robert Carlyle, Ming-Na Wen, and Lou Diamond Phillips, and it still pisses me off whenever I think about it.

This is still a weak ass excuse to call it a 'Poor man's Star Trek'. And while Star Trek is an influential series, it's not the be-all and end-all of creating the concepts seen in Sci-Fi shows, but is more responsible for those concepts being placed onscreen for the first time.

Honestly, they should have stopped before they did the last few seasons of SG1... They had a huge thing going and ruined it with shameless cashgrabbing.
