    Now that we're settling into season 2 of SGU, I thought it would be interesting to see has it beaten out any of the other shows in popularity on boards.

    Simple enough, what's your favorite? :D

    Including movies, series, whatever you've seen!

    For me:
    1. SG1
    2. SGU
    3. SG - Original Motion picture
    4. SGA
    5. SG - Continuum
    6. SG - Ark of Truth

    two words, window of oportunity "ll":D

    SG-1 up to when jack left SG-1
    SGA till weir left
    Stargate
    Ark of Truth
    SGU
    The Rest of SG-1
    The Rest of SGA
    Continum

    not that im noting liking SGU, but the 8 seasons that occupy SG-1 and SGA at the start are just superior sci-fi, and stargate will always be loved and Ark of Truth was also pure sci-fi,

    sci-fi is suppose to be fun, what the hell happened:confused:

    SGU
    Original film
    SG1

    original movie
    sg1 at the time I really loved but looking back on it now it wasn't great at all
    sgu iffy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 911 ✭✭✭Flying Abruptly


    SG-1 up to season 8 (before the Ori)
    SGA (loved the last 2 seasons)
    SGU (like it but, but havent been dying to see the next episode as I was with the others)
    Continuum (a brillant long stand-alone episode of SG-1)
    Stargate (only watched after started SG-1, really explained a lot, found the other actors really confusing :))
    Ark of Truth (just used to tie off loose ends with Ori, didnt really like the ending)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    SG1
    <the rest>
    SGA

    SG1 is my favourite. I'm undecided on SGU, still haven't made up my mind.

    Reading this reminds me that it's been ages since I've watched Continuum. Must get on that :)

    My order is

    Stargate SG-1 seasons 1 - 7
    Stargate Atlantis
    Stargate SG-1 seasons 8 - 10
    daylight
    daylight
    Stargate Universe

    Stargate Universe is so terrible, I feel it could cancel the franchise. Watching repeats of Atlantis these days, beats the socks off Universe.

    I think SGU is much better suited as a follow up to the original movie rather than as a follow up to SG-1 and SGA. The humorless tone fits in quite well. Those who prefer the movie to SG-1 seem to be the ones who rate SGU higher as well.

    stargate sg1 was my favorite up until jack o neill leaving
    from there on it was on a fast track to boresville what a yawn


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,537 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster


    sg1 was the only one I ever really watched.
    saw a lot of Atlantis but never all, was quite good too.

    The original film looks terrible these days, especially after watching sg1

    I agree I love everything stargate but universe is pure rubbish


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    universe isn't great, but it's a real insult to say that it's worse than atlantis..

    i actually storngly agree that atlantis is superior to SGU, rewatching even the mid season clifhangers make SGU look extremely dull,

    think of season 1 of atlantis, we had rising and excellent feel of adventure going out all set to explore a new part of the universe, then we had the mid-season episodes of The Storm and the The Eye, great tension and atlantis being over run with geni soldiers, you actually thought it was set up for a lesser known but known carcater to be killed off, then the season finale, a 3 parter of the wraith coming to get atlantis and have a gateway to a new feeding ground,

    compare to season 1 of SGU, no plan, some mad scientist decides hes really wants to dial the ninth chevron so he does, and the base is under attack so all personel are gated to destiny, a delapadated ship out in gods know where land, no-one is prepared for the event, mid-season young and rush have it out, and rush is left on the planet, we know damn well rush is gonna be back, there is no tension resonating from either caracter, season finale, a 2 parter, i must say it was good, but also a bit stupid, i still dont understand why the LA would waste the effort of traveling to destiny knowing theres no way back, they had telford and god knows who else in the SGC to relay any information that they wanted, it just seemed ridiculus to travel to destiny at all,

    now i do like SGU, late season 1 and so far season 2 i find interesting, but im not fooling myself, i dont understand some decisions made and some things do drive me mad about it, as was the same with atlantis, and SG-1, but so far SGU is leading due mainly to the fact that its suppose to be space opera yet is entirely dull, not enough action to justify being called a space opera, there is entirely to much angst, im sorry but this shows target audience is stargate fans, and there are new younger ones every year, but a lot of them fell in love with Atlantis and SG-1, shows with little to no angst, so adding this aspect it retarded, it should be removed and replaced with a giant space battle,

    there has been heaps upon heaps of caracater development so its well past time to get this show moving,

    1. Stargate SG1 - made the entire franchise
    2. The movie - A classic
    3. SG:A - barely, could have been so much better
    4. Continuum - As mentioned already, a great stand along movie
    5. SGU - Should really be considered as a different series
    6. Ark of Truth - Terrible really

    Best episode of all time were the2 that created stargate atlantis when the found the antartic platform.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,512 ✭✭✭BigDuffman


    1. Stargate (Movie)
    2. SG1 - Before Vala (it just got camp and wishy washy after that)
    3. SGU - dark with an adult theme + issues.
    4. SGA - series 1 was good but after that it suffered from the quirky camp bug.
