New forum for Stargate sci -fi ?

    Stargate sg1 is one of the most popular sci-fi programs around and with its up coming spin off series in summer (which sky one is going to show) a successful movie a rumored new movie and one and a half seasons left of Sg1 + a huge fan base it is quickly becoming as big as star trek and star war's.

    So I was wondering if a forum could be set up for like minded fans. As I think it could become as popular as the Star wars / star trek forums in time

    I knew their would be a good few people that would be interested in a stargate forum

    I wonder what the almighty admins think though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭angelofdeath


    i concur


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭mr_angry


    I agree. I think its a necessity!

    Did anyone else notice Carter humming the Stargate theme in the elevator last night? Hilarious. I wonder if that was scripted, or if it was an ad-lib...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,137 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Don't watch the show myself but with the huge fan base and spin-off series coming out it could be popular.

    Nice to see another yummy female in the show....that sarah bird is fit.

    Also like Carter in those low cut tops & skirts....beena while since she whipped her femines side out.

    Very much scripted I'd imagine (though I did laugh). The Simpsons have done it in the past - I was expecting O'Neill to tell Carter to stop humming that annoying tune.

    (theme from McGyver would have been funnier but they already put a reference in s1ep1)

    Dunno if it warrants a forum of its own to be honest but I'm not saying nay.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 857 ✭✭✭davros


    A Stargate forum would definitely entice me into the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. Very classy show that makes Enterprise look even worse than it is.

    Not just a show either, but a whole new universe / technology / Earth backstory - plenty of stuff to discuss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    but a whole new universe / technology / Earth backstory - plenty of stuff to discuss.

    Aye stargate already has a lot of depth to it interesting race's starship's ground combat real world technology interesting main cast etc ...Then you have the movie and the up comeing spin off set it a whole new galaxy against a new enemy with a new team + from what i know their's a pc game in the work's

    Their's a lot to discuss


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭phreak


    would make a great addition to the Sci-Fi section imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,608 ✭✭✭✭sceptre


    I didn't know about the new series starting.

    Thumbs up from me then

    Gets my vote. Beats Enterprise (and, previously, Voyager) into a bloodied pulp.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Make it so.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,107 ✭✭✭TheSonOfBattles


    Support inserted here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    i too would like to see a stargate forum its a great show


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    Up to the admins so seem's people are happy to have this forum :)


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    As always, i'm against. With SG1 having a forum of its own the last vestiges of any vaguely decent scifi ever created will be removed from the Sci-Fi board. I don't expect anyone to agree though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    You expect wrong, my young padwan, for I agree with you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 340 ✭✭DrEvil


    Ye i would like a SG forum would be good.
    Any1 think it's a funny show and doesn't take itself 2 seriously and jack is always taking the piss. i was watching a show 2 night and daniel was talking 2 jack about sumtin then jack just takes out a yo-yo and starts messing with it and just completey ignores daniel! u don't c that in star trek!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,463 ✭✭✭shinzon


    Wouldnt mind a bit of a Stargate forum meself to be honest, with the spin off series and of course stargate infinity theyll be lots to talk about. plus lots of piccies of carter in low cut dresses MMM


    so let me be the first to post a piccie lol

    shin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    I vote that we move all the sci-fi/fantasy subs back into sci-fi/fantasy... yeahey who's with me!! ;p

    Its slightly more possible that Azezil will sort them out and they will come back wearing tank tops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    wouldn't be the first time!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,481 ✭✭✭Vader


    this is actually the first season od SG I didnt watch. Ive been watching since season 1 and say the film when it first came out. (YES IM A BIG NERD) it definitly is very popular but thats because its not really that sc-fi. Good Sci-fi is never popular.:p
    I agree there is a good deal to talk about and I vote yes to this forum but dont even begin to compare it to ST. SW maybe (but if you take the eu into accout NO!).
    SG hasnt that much depth, no eu and the acting isnt that good. On the plus side the props costumes and effects get better every year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    eu?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    expanded univerise ........its the star war's books that piss all over the cannon of the movies
    and the acting isnt that good

    You have watched the 2 lateist star wars movies right? ....i could act better than all of them :dunno
    wouldn't be the first time!

    What a horrible though :ninja:

    Read Timothy Zahns trilogy then say that. :p

    This 'devolution' of the fora on boards is a bit annoying to be honest, there aren't enough topics generated on the Scif-Fi board to warrant it, and I doubt there's an 'if you split is they will come' phenomenon at work. (For the record I love SG1, but am perfectly fine with the current setup)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    well there is a bit of a if you split it they will come phenomenon star trek never got the number of threads it does now when it was part of sci-fi originally


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭_CreeD_


    Ya know whether it gets it's own section or not should have nothing to do with how good it is (And yes I'm a big fan too) but the actual need to use a subsection to handle the amount of threads it inspires....which at the moment are damn few. It's not like the SciFi section is overloaded or anything, going back a month there are just 3 relatively small postings about SG1 specifically.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭Moriarty


    What kaids said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    any say on this admin gods?

  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭Tazzle


    I'm with Kaids, there should never have been any decentralisation of the sci-fi/fantasy forum, it just isn't warranted. No new forum for SG-1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Im suprised i didnt notice this topic before. I would definatley like a SG1 forum. The new season is showing now so it would be a good time to start a forum and the SG1 spin off is starting in a few months so the new forum could be on that aswell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    He saw the idea, and lo he thought the idea was good. He went to Devore and asked him to make the Idea a reality !!!

    (Thats a YES PLEASE from me)

    Gandalf

    (ps any chance of a Samanta Carter sub forum,,, mmmmmm goodness!!!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Ill ask her.

    im not exeatly sure how the boards.ie "rank" system works. Taz said this would not happen and he is a MOD yet biszmark and you gandalf are both MODs aswell and you want it?

    How does this work who gets the final say? Is it DeVore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    mods mean nothing up to admin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    Its up to the admins (their our gods) it doesnt matter if your a mod or not :)

    but the admins havent replyed yet :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark
