    i went to rewatch all of sg1 a while ago, but about halfway through season 1 i said to myself that i'd skip all the 'crap' episodes

    went through the series in 2-3 nights, I think there was one season where I only watched 3 episodes.

    can see me skipping a lot all right heh


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    I'm in Tar, have been meaning to do that for ages. Also, judging by a stray episode of Atlantis I saw on TV the other night, it appears I might have missed a few. :eek:

    taking so long to get them, must be out of stock in hmv or something >_>


    yes new recruit!

    I would join you on this epic quest but I've seen all of SG1 so, so many times on sky that I don't think I could stomach all the filler.

    I'd rewatch atlantis because I've only seen it once and there are some terrific eps in there....but again sections of season 1 lagged quite badly. Plus after watching him for five seasons I kind of want to strangle McKay :p

    You could take all your frustrations out on Leimrod instead, he's the spit out of McKay's mouth, win win!

    I really have to watch all of Atlantis. Plus Jewel Staite <3

    Edit: And plus the Wraith are epic. Best SG villains by far. Though I like the blue dudes from SGU too, they're creepy.

    what is jewel staite?


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    what is jewel staite?

    :eek:

    Go watch Firefly. Now.

    I'll wait....


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Yup, Jewel Staite, of Firefly fame.

    oh ive seen firefly, I know this woman!

    Thought you would alright! :D

    firely staite > atlantis state though

    she got a bit too skinny


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    That was her normal weight before and after firefly. She gained the weight because Joss Whedon liked her, but wanted a "real girl that wasn't anorexic".

    But I agree she looked better with the extra 20 pounds. But thats personal taste I suppose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    I did this, having never seen a full episode of Stargate before. I watched my boyfriends dvds starting from SG-1 season 1 all the way up to Atlantis season 5 in order. It took me almost exactly 2 years :D

    I still sometimes miss not having an episode of SG to look forward to when I get home from work.


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,840 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Done that before ....

    id love to watch them again from the start, but there a bit to fresh and i have so many other tv shows ive yet to watch,

    i have the all the DVDs from collecting the book and its always great to just pick a random one and watch it, was thinking of buying the smaller set one amazon for 100 yoyos, but it looks great havin a 5 foot long collection of dvds spelling out stargate, :D

    Only earlier this year I realised SG-1 is a direct continuation of the film :o (which I love). Once I discovered that little snippet, I decided to take the plunge and start form the beginning of SG-1. I'm half way through Series 4 at the mo & loving every minute of it. It took me a while to seeing Anderson as Jack, as I had seen the movie loads of times, but I'd say watching the movie now it'd be the opposite :D

    It started off with copius amounts of 90's cheese, but where I am now I can see it maturing very well. One thing I wasn't expected in it was the way the writers fit a lot of comedic value into it. It's rare these days that a tv show actually makes me laugh, but Jack's one liners, Teal'c' (the time loop episode & thermometer was genious :D) & a lot of others are genuinely very funny.

    I'm watching it alongside SG-U (which I fugured was pretty safe to do as they are so distant), and loving every minute of that too :cool: I'll progress to Atlantis when I have SG-1 done.

    Finally, something that fills the gap left by LOST, thank you Stargate! :pac:

    theres a bit of cross-over, youll probably see atlantis in SG-1 if you dont watch them chronlogically, atlantis started when SG-1 was on season 7, and ran beside it for 3 seasons, so from season 7 you might want to start atlantis, maybe switch back and forth ever second episode,

    Finished season 2 of atlantis atm. Am watching them before the original. Where do the films fit into stargate? Haven't watched any but the first.

    Pretty much all after Season 10.

    Children of the Gods, the re-cut, is of course the first thing you should have watched ;) Yes, there are no boobs, or mention of reproductive organs, but the rest of it was good.

    i turned off that POS, carter appeared and didnt say that so i turned it off, took away the feel of the whole show, and they wonder why people dont buy dvds, ill buy it once and i aint paying twice especially for a substandard merchandise (i didnt buy it i saw it)

    "Ark of Truth" after Season 10 of SG1 and Season 3 of SGA. "Continuum" after Season 4 of SGA.

    it was honestly the stupidest line ever, and would only still belong in there because they reference it again on the 100th episode and the season 8 finale. Other than that it was such an awkward line and really not one that fir her character that much at all.

    You're missing out if you didn't finish it. Teal'c doesn't sound like a girl anymore: he re-did all of his lines using the macho voice he learned for himself after the first couple seasons.

    Yes but then they sent it up so wonderfully as well in '200' that it's almost worth having in the first time around as pay off.
