If you dropped darth vader in ww2 would he take over the world
Or be all fucked up because the psychological mechanism he relied on to deal with his emotional problems has been torn away and he now has no goals

remember that one episode of stargate sg1 where one of the goauld was on earth with all his knowledge, his collection of high tech shit and whatnot

and yet the best he could accomplish was to get a small cult of followers

That sounds very interesting. Do you know the episode's title?

this one

and he used magic to brainwash his cult too, lol i forgot about that.

Man the Goa'uld couldn't even take over the world when they co-opted an already existing shadow government agency with considerable resources.

All ten seasons of SG-1 are on Netflix. Should I watch any of it?

Seasons 1-8 are the best. 9 is so/so. I don't think I want to remember 10.

hay guys what about stargate atlantis

8*20 episodes is 160 episodes. Let's cut it down some.

They aren't all on Netflix in the States, at least. Many require a disc.

phantasee, start watching it and stop when you get bored?

i actually liked sg1 season 9 and 10 when i watched it a second time

didn't really like it the first time

but did the second time


i think the difference is the first time i got really annoyed with how different it was

new characters, the plots changed, they barely even used the stargate anymore



but the second time i found mysel enjoying the new characters and stories as more like a spin off almost to watch and like on its own merits

instead of OMG THEY CHANGED MY SHOW THOSE BASTARDS

my complaint is that season 8 was really a great spot to end the series if they wanted to

but they decided "nah let's run this into the ground who needs an ending lol"

I miss BSG.

I think the main problem with the last few series is the hilarious sexism
mcguyver dropped out of the show, so do they put carter with her years of experience in charge of the team?
lolnope, let's bring in another character who's just like jack o'neil in the same position in the cast, but without the charm

the ori were potentially interesting though, in that they basically were gods... but they didn't really explore that like they should've

Oh whoops spoilers lol

That was MacGuyver in the series?

Richard Dean Anderson = MacGyver

I'll be damned. I can't believe I never noticed that.

there's an outtake out there somewhere (a friend showed it to me on a DVD I think), from the episode where o'neil and carter were trapped in an ice cave with a broken stargate. He's all like 'carter get on with fixing the stargate' then she goes
'Oh damnit, why don't you fix the damn thing! You're mcguyver for christ's sake, why don't you just improvise a nuclear reactor out of a couple of rubber bands and a chocolate bar, or make a subspace radio out of your hat!'
before that outburst, they were thinking of axing the character

O'Neill or Carter ?

Probably Carter.

carter of course, mcguyver was one of the executive producers
(or was that only later on?)

No, RDA was always involved as producer (at least for the first eight seasons).

Netflix doesn't do discs in Canada, it's a streaming only service.

I know. I just think it's balls! that we are getting the shaft.
