Season 8 Premier

_CreeD_

It aired here (states) last night, a 2 hour episode. I won't go into spoilers as if you really want them you'll already have read all about it online. All I will say is it was great to see them launch back into the possibly last season with such an excellent episode. The acting/dialogue/storyline is as tight and funny as it has ever been at it's peak, and they re-energised and tied up some old storylines aswell as starting some new.
One of the best parts were the American-Idol style Atlantis audition clips they had on during ad. time, which hopefully they'll keep for SciFi Uk.

Also as an aside they showed short previews and air dates for "Farscape - The Peackeeper Wars" mini series (October 2004) and the new Battlestar Galactica series (January 2005).

Atlantis is up next friday, again a 2 hour affair, and then both will be showing side by side from the week after. TV has finally gotten decent again.

hey user,

Do you know what channel i can get stargate on in dublin? I used to be a big fan, but i noticed that sky one stopped showing it,?? i need to know if it is still on here???

ixoy

I don't know of any channel currently showing Stargate that's available in Ireland. Sky One should kick off the two series later on this year and, if previous years are any indication, be ahead of the U.S. when 2005 kicks off.

Meanwhile if you've a region-free DVD player, you can pick up R1 Season boxed sets at DVDSoon for about €35 a season (with Season 7 being slightly more expensive).

Any news on sky picking up atlantis yet?

Shrimp

Are you sure that none of the following channels don't show it:

RTE 1
NETWORK 2
TV 3
TG 4
ITV
BBC 1
BBC 2
CHANEL 4
SKY 1 = Possiblity
E 4

It would be a dissapointment if none did

Lyconix

Sky One will show SG-1 and Atlantis, I'm sure. Why wouldn't they?

bizmark

money reasions ? we already know they will show sg1 but atlantis is new and new stuff is scary

ixoy

Sky One is your best bet. They're not airing it currently, but they often show it in a daily slot. I've no doubt they'll be showing Season 8 of Stargate:SG-1 and given that the show is a ratings success for them, I'm sure they'll be picking up Stargate: Atlantis. I just don't know any dates yet.

They seem to pick up plenty of shows which end up being cancelled after their first series (Oddysey 5, Jake 2.0 and longer ago, Total Recall), so I'm sure they'll be willing to chance a show based on a hugely successful franchise

bizmark

I hope they show both i needs my sci fi fix and christ knows stargate is the best sci fi on by a long long way

Shrimp

do you have any idea of when the covarage of stargate will begin on sky?

bizmark

Few weeks

ixoy

I just e-mailed Sky there about it so I'll let you know if I hear anything

bizmark

why didnt i think of that

Shrimp

Cheers

I'd say posting on new episodes will be fine so long as spoilers aren't included in the thread titles. Where a particular episode title counts as a spoiler (e.g. Return of the Replicators, Anubis Strikes Back!), the episode number could be given instead

Personally I intend to wait for the Sky One showing...

Heya, I posted most of my thoughts on the matter in the sticky here. I think we can discuss them but, as Lyconix says, if the episode title is a spoiler then don't place it in the thread (they rarely are spoilers).

Something along the format that you used originally should suffice, e.g: 8x01 - New Order - Discussion [Spoilers].

As I said in the sticky, if the thread is clearly marked then I don't think we should need to use spoiler tags within the thread unless talking about an episode after that one (e.g. don't talk about 8x03 in an 8x01 thread unless it's in spoiler tags and marked clearly).

As for Friday's episode... well I'm going to be watching it later this evening, so I can understand you wanting to talk about it so go ahead, just observing what I said earlier

mr_angry

FFS - I go away for the weekend, and 2 new episodes get shown! Talk about bad timing.

EVERYONE should read the charter and the stickies, especially those relating to spoiler tags. Well done so far though - good posting quality.

Greedy! Isn't the Stargate: Atlantis spinoff good enough for now?

Yes but remember we got 2 star trek spinoff series one after another?
Ds9 and VOY?

Later i hope to get another 1 or 2 SG1 spinoffs

Very good episode, saw it last night, well worth the wait

Now, anyone else who couldn't believe their eyes when they saw....

the big jafaar dude I can never spelll the name of (te'olk maybe) WITH HAIR!!?!?

User45701

Tec`c i think it is.
He was wanted to have hair for several seasons now and the finaly decided to let him have it. He said a few weeks ago in a interview that he would have hair so it didnt catch me off guard.

Indeed. As

O'Neill said: "Teal'c - what's with the hair?" [pause] "Teal'c - what's with the hair?" I wonder if they'll mention Teal'cs own motivation for it.

vibe666

I think he should start growing a big ass afro. undercover jaffa brother.

Boro

He was a guest actor along with daniel jackson (the actors i mean, not the characters) in some sci-fi show - think it might have been andromeda or one of those. In it, he had big hair - first time i had seen him with it! The actor who plays Daniel Jackson was playing a warped ships computer and Teal'c was attempting to kill him.

User45701

Remember Share`a? Danials wife in earley SG1? He ended up marrying her and she is also in Andromada and i thought tel`c was the crazy computer in andromada (i dont watch andromda so i just hear from others)
