    I'm nearing the end of season 6 of SG-1. It's getting near LOST levels of watching where I was doing four eps a night some nights. 3 of SG1 last night. It's like you just can't stop watching, you know should should but it's too good not to continue :( The humour in it is just done so well :D

    I think it's the ability to hit "play all", that button is pure evil.

    You think that's bad? Try having the entire season available on your HTPC. There's literally no excuse to stop, normally I'd blame lazyness with having to change discs etc, but that's a thing of the past.

    It's like this:

    Next. Next. Next. Next. Next etc etc :pac:

    universe just doesnt have the humour of sg1 and atlantis. Ronan just said 'this better not be a hive ship from another reality' and i pissed myself, ah the subtle humour in there is so good.

    all of atlantis watched, raging there is no more :(

    Im in the middle of the first ep of sg1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Redisle


    On to Season 3 of SG-1 here! Hard to stop when they are all on a file server! Some really good humour in these, loved the ep where O Neill and Teal'c switched bodies! Very well done.

    I am beginning to see the stupidity of having a show called Stargate Universe where they don't actually use the stargate :p

    Still like SGU though, but it is a very different show.

    Season 1??? Sure I'm over half way through season 3 at this stage and I started way after you.

    I watched all 5 seasons of atlantis and season 1 of sg1 now :p

    Eventually I will get around to storing my DVD collection (all 600 odd discs or so) onto some form of storage but for now I'll stick with manual input/output :p

    Like you though I think temptation would lead to continual play :o

    It's a labour of love, trust me. It's the most repetetive, boring & dull thing you can possibly imagine (archiving your collection, movies arn't so bad but episodic stuff is such a pain)...but the end result (your never really finished adding to it mind you) is just having your whole collection accessible from the touch of a remote control :cool: Well worth doing, but I started mine in 2007 :eek: Took a long time to get it anywhere near what I'd call finished.

    sam carter is not hot.

    but yep im on season 5 at the minite and I dont have season 5 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Just wrapped up SG-1 season 7 last night. All I can say is :eek::cool:

    I so want to ring Kinsey's neck, what an absoloute toad. Snow-Monkey, what the hell do you mean Sam Carter isn't hot? :p While she may not be hot in the conventional tv sense (which is already a good thing if you ask me!), after seven seasons of getting to know the character, she's so damned hot at this stage :D Gorgeous too :cool:

    Is this where I start SG - Atlantis folks?

    I ended up just downloading my tv series. Was taking way too much effort to do each episode individually. That and I lost it all when a drive died :mad:

    I've tried starting SG-1 a few times, so the first season kind of drags on a bit for me (seen them all too much). Might just watch the last 3 episodes and continue from there.

    I ended up just downloading my tv series.

    I just couldn't live with compressed avi stuff. Storage space is so cheap these days that anything less than 1:1 isn't really deemed watchable on a HTPC (from my pov). Unfortunately as you know, my method involves a lot more repetitive stuff than yours, but the end result is worth it I feel.

    Drives dying is a big concern :( I've 5TB worth of storage, so I can't really afford to back everything up (from a monitary point of view). Best I can do is keepa log of exactly what is on each drive, so in the event of a failure I don't end up scratching my head thinking "I know I had more stuff than that" kind of scenario.

    For a tv series that i only watch occasionally, it's good enough for me. That said, before last month my biggest display was 22". Now I've a 40" tv as my monitor so getting more stuff in hd to take advantage of it.

    Yeah My general file server is 5TB but the critical stuff backs up compressed to under 1TB, just media I can lose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Ok I kicked off Atlantis last night, only to find...
    Jack is now no longer in stasis, but is a general & seemingly fully recovered? Daniel just somehow realised the Atlantis address is eight chevrons, & a few mins later a group are in the Atlantis ship? Having found a weapon to protect Earth against the Goa'Uld, and successfully used it, O'Neil gives permission to take the weapon offline & use it's power source to travel to Pegasus in the search for...a weapon to protect Earth from the Goa'Uld?? Certain Humans have the ability to control Ancient technology, without any training or instructions? The Ancients were all defeated by a new superior foe, and didn't all ascend? Yet an Ancient little gate-ship was able to defeat a small fleet of enemy attack craft??

    Ok ok I've clearly missed a bridging episode, more than likely SG-1 Season 8 ep 1? And the answers to the above questions will prob be revealed as I go...but I'm getting a serious impression of McGuiver in space here :( Where's the humour? I suppose it's a new show (from my perspective) & will take time to find its feet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    This is probably my fault since I told you a few posts back that you could watch Atlantis after season 7

    I should have more clearly stated that you should watch Atlantis Season 1 with SG-1 Season 8. Start off with "New Order" Parts 1 & 2 (SG-1), then go to "Rising" (Atlantis) and alternate the episodes that way for the entirety of the season.

    Sorry.

    Sorry.

    Lol no probs at all, I'll call it the George Lucas way of watching Stargate :D I'll kick off season 8 of SG-1 tonight (first two eps). Do I rotate the two shows on a per episode basis from then on? Or are they directly related at all? Don't reveal too much to me tho :p

    Hammond better be back in the SGC or there'll be hell to pay :mad::pac:

    Watched most of season 2 at the weekend. Might as well watch the rest of it now :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 118 ✭✭SirenX


    I've done this so many times it's not even funny
    the only thing I won't re-watch is the first season of SGU


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 6,673 Mod ✭✭✭✭pinkypinky


    I watched it all for the first time a couple of years back in 3 months - then another month to get through what had been released on dvd of Atlantis (I think I watched one series on actual tv and the pace was painful after mainlining everything else). Then I went on to Battlestar Galactica, which I just ate up and then I watched some of Andromeda, which was rubbish and all of Farscape, which I loved. All told about 7 months of sci-fi.

    I think i watch at least one episode a day and have been doing so for the past 2 years or so ...its an addiction :P Its at this stage that I am helping identify which episode props were used in for people who cant match them.

    Cant beat watching the pilot now and again!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Bit of a bump, but prob not worth a thread of its own.

    I'll be kicking off SG-1 season 10 tonight (:() & am wondering where the made for tv movies fit in from there on out. I'm watching Atlantis concurrently, & will be starting season 3 of that alongside SG-1, so I'm wondering when SG1 is over, is there any reason to not watch the movies straight away?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    they come in at the end of the series, after the ori

    Straight away? Ok so there's no tie in with Atlantis at all that I need to know about/have watched? Cool.

    Oh & 'after the Ori'? So there's an after the Ori then :o:p


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I dunno, i actually havent watched that season, just remember somebody saying something like that!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭Taco Corp


    I watched the last episode of SGU last night which brought me to the end of my quest to watch all Stargate episodes. The sad part is that I only started mid March. Once I got into it I just couldn't stop. Got exams coming up and I knew if I was still watching by then I'd get nothing done. Whole weekends were lost to Stargate, including the 4 days at Easter. I was getting in 4 or 5 episodes some nights after work!! It truely was ridiculous.

    Awesome tv all the same


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Well I wrapped up SG-1 last night...ten seasons. I sure will miss them, I'll kick off Atlantis season 4 tonight which I'm really enjoying now too, McKay makes the show, the humour is brilliant.

    Ark of Truth & Continuum maybe over the weekend. The writers obviously knew they wern't getting a Season 11, so why wasn't the Ori arc concluded within the confines of the final season? Or did they know they were green lit for direct to dvd movies at the time?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,104 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    on season 5 of sg1, and all 5 done for atlantis.

    /sweat


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Watched Ark Of Truth last night, was good...very good. But just far too convenient a way to wrap up the Ori arc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Just finshed watching Universe season 2. So thats:

    SG1 1-10
    Ark of Truth & Contiuum
    Atlantis 1-5
    Universe 1-2

    All done in about 8/9 months, & first time viewing them all. To summarise, I fugging love Stargate & will miss it a fugging lot :(

    I'd like to get into the boxsets at some stage, but last time I checked they were stupidly expensive. Have seen most of SG1, but with repeats dotted around the place I suppose boxsets aren't really necessary.

    I've seen used sets go very very cheap, & its a far better experience watching them in dvd quality and unbroken by ads for Jedward every ten minutes. It can be dangerous though, I've been known to watch three or four in a row...just too damn good!
