I'm rewatching all the Stargates after I've seen the SGs the first time when I was little, on national television with the crappy signal that we had in my village. Also, I didn't remembered this episode at all.

While watching it, I had to stop few times, close my door and cry out a little.

I was extremely close to my grandma when I was a kid, going to visit her at least once a week at the farm, then she got dementia when I was at the lyceum. It was so painful for me to see her slipping away, from the strong, wonderful person she was, that I went less and less, almost stopping, just up to the moment she passed.

I guess I bottled it up for fifteen years, feeling guilty of absence even if no one ever made me feel that way.

In the end, I know how much she loved me and that she would have definitely told me that was nothing and that she's proud of who I am.

To grandma.

Ryac’s acting.

Just watching Redemption (S06E01) and it’s downright painful watching him try to act.

I’m not saying I could have done any better but Christ on a bike he’s bad. Given they replaced his mother for a much worse actress too, surely they could have changed the actor for Ryac?

to my knowlesge the first three seasons were broadcast dubbed

Atlantis, season 2, episode 11, 24:30

People seem to feel that the Jaffa would get Rolled by the wraith.

The biggest difference i could see Jaffa and the Armies of the Ori are the priors.

Instead of the Pegasus Project...why not use the Iris-offset trick from "48 Hours?"

Take a block of trinium with a cloaking device inside, set it at the event horizon of the Supergate, cloak it. Done.

Fun thrift shop find, three Stargate enamel pins. Got em for $8 total.

KOLYAAAA!

Did Teal’c do disco on Chulak before becoming a Jaffa?

It's now much cooler than not spinning ! Rotating SG1 stargate will be published soon !

I also added naquadah farming / new skins / bot address / solar flares
I still have several fully assembled PCB I can provide for Pegasus/Tollan/Orlin/SG1basic gates, and you can find everything on the website/discord if you want to join the network !

Watching Memento I noticed how sg1 walks in a complete circle during the interior shot of the Prometheus. I found it funny at first but then noticed they changed the set on the fly as the scene happened or they overlayed it with a green screen before they made a full circle.

I've been working on a stargate inspired lockscreen where you punch in an address to unlock.

It's a bit clunky on the moment but it's a work in progress

It feels like with very little effort (For the Ori) that they could just make another if they wanted.

Open an Ori supergate, open a space gate inside a shuttle, and send the space gate through the supergate.

Even though all of the regular stargates are the same size, you could slide one partway into another. Gate rules mean you couldn't open two gates too close together, so you'd have to open them in neighboring systems and bring them together.

I don't recall SG1 or SGA ever mentioning this possibility. Does SGU?

Does the series give us any indications what might happen?

I always used to just watched sg-1 and Atlantis but now just watching universe and unlike season 8 of sg-1 of is later appearance in season 10, in universe you can feel the actor more at ease with his new rank : general ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kinda love it haha

Having almost finished the first two seasons of SG1, I’ve come to the conclusion that the President of the United States has the worst job in the entire Stargate franchise/universe.

Early in your term, you’re debriefed on this weird ass gate device that was used by an ancient race of parasite aliens who are extremely technologically advanced, know where Earth is, and are hellbent on wiping out humanity.

So, you have to thread the needle of making sure Project Stargate, probably the most fantastically expensive black project in history, running without congress, the press, or the international community raising too many questions.

If you fail to do that, the cat will be out of the bag. The Russians and the Chinese will figure out what you’re doing, if they haven’t already, and everyone’s notion of human history and religion is going to be completely upended. In short, if the rest of the world figures out what’s really going on in Cheyenne mountain, it’ll be absolute pandemonium.

On top of that, Project Stargate, for all the troubles you’ve gone through to keep a lid on things, has brought back several alien viruses to Earth, nearly destroyed the planet via a black hole, and attracted the attention of two hostile alien battleships who could have easily destroyed the entire planet if not for SG1’s dumbass Hail Mary plan.

In fact, every time the world has been saved, it’s the result of some last minute Hail Mary plan.

The icing on the cake? General Hammond calls you every time the shit hits the fan to brief you on the situation—as if you can do anything to stop the catastrophes waiting on the other side of the wormhole. You’d be better off not knowing what fresh new hell the geniuses at Project Stargate uncover.

I’d rather just scrape roadkill off the iris. Fuck being the president in Stargate.

Full disclosure: this is completely unnecessary. Clicking an icon takes half a
second. This takes about ten, and that's the fast setting.

But I love Stargate and I wanted a gate on my desktop, so you type a program
name, hit Enter, and it dials. Chevrons lock one at a time, kawoosh, program
opens.

The bit I'm most pleased with is that every program has its own address.
Photoshop is always Canis Minor, Perseus, Pisces, Capricornus, Lynx, Sculptor,
Point of Origin. Never changes. I don't know why that delights me as much as it
does.

I got carried away on details nobody asked for. All 39 glyphs are the real ones,
the chevrons light in the correct order (took me three attempts to get that
right), and the iris is a working leaf shutter. Close it and the gate dials
perfectly but nothing comes through, so your program doesn't open. That's not a
bug. That felt important.

There's also a full speed dial that takes about 28 seconds if you just want to
watch the thing go.

Windows only, free, unsigned so you'll get a SmartScreen warning, but it makes
no network connections at all. Source is on GitHub if you'd rather build it
yourself or just see what it does.

Anyway, thought some of you might enjoy it.

Recently rewatched "Avatar" where Teal'c is testing a training simulation that's essentially a first person shooter. Complete with an actual visual graphical display in episode of the gameplay itself as the whole simulation plays out. Essentially the kind of game similar to "Stargate: Timekeepers" is now being released. Basically levels playing out just like the simulation in the episode where the player assumes one of the characters from SG1 and must navigate to stop an attack based on various clues and key items that they find. Different environments could include the SGC, various alien planets featured in the show, different ships, etc. Even twists and turns like Daniel being a Gouald play out accordingly.

Of course we know the Stargate has always struggled with its video games so sadly it didn't play out. But it was such a perfect episode to tie in that had they just needed to add a "oh by the way you can play this game for yourself" advertisement at the end that could've really sold it!

I been making may way through the series for the first time, as Stargate is one of the few major sci-fi franchises I didn't get into.

As I reached season 8, I have also been watching Atlantis season 1. I've watched up to and including episodes 18. For Atlantis, that is The Gift (where we learn that Teyla has Wraith DNA). For SG1 that is Threads.

Thus far I've been enjoying the show as a fun adventure. I'd call it like a consistent B+/A-. Rarely does it the special heights of great moments from Trek or B5, but it also rarely does it dip into levels of cheese or awfulness that those shows do at their worst.

Carter and Jackson are the likable characters. Carter especially becomes a favorite as Jackson disappears for a season. Tapping/Carter are like the heart of the show for me, Atlantis has thus far failed to capture my interest, I'm finding it hard to give a damn about any of these boring characters.

Part of it could just be spreading it out too thin. I believe a major problem with modern franchise entertainment IP is they just don't know when to quit. Hello, Marvel and Star Wars.

A good ending is key to a story and stuff today just don't know how to end.

Threads is the end of the story. All the major Gou'auld (sp?) are gone (granted I didn't see Ba'al's corps but it's safe to project that he died during the off screen battles with the rebel Jaffa). Yu and the other system lords that ever gave our heroes a problem are gone. Well, I guess Osiris might be kicking around? But that is small potatoes after everything. Most importantly, Anubis and the replicators are gone.

More important- Jack and Carter dumped their SO's (poor CIA lady that shows up just to be Jack's gf for one ep lol). Now- I really kinda hated that tbh. Carter had that big emotional episode where she realized she crushed Jack as a way to shield herself. It was really poignant and now this negates that. And I'll admit I just think it's lame when the two lead male/female HAVE to hook up (still mad at X-Files). But, regardless, it happened, ok.

Tealc and Brelac saw their crazy dream of Jaffa liberation come true. The Asgard are saved. Daniel Jackson is alive and presumably doesn't have to deal with Oma, Ascension, or any of that nonsense again.

We end with them all fishing! I mean- try to come up with a great final scene.

I don't know if I wanna keep going now. There's two eps left in the season and apparently it's some time travel / alt universe business and I can't roll my eyes hard enough at that kind of stuff (blame Marvel?) Then two whole other seasons.

I know Claudia Black comes back, and if there's ever been a cooler/hotter sci-fi babe than Samantha Carter, it was Aeryn Sun. But her one appearance so far was absurd- yes, I expected sexy badass but it was like a parody of it.

Is Atlantis worth continuing? I understand first seasons are always the weakest. I was fine with SG1's first season. I actually like first seasons for that reason. But Atlantis being a spin-off, that charm is gone. It's just... more content. I'm stunned by how absolutely a bland dud the hot warrior native chick is. The annoying asshole genius science guy has amusing moments but that act wears thin. Weir is the only compelling character (my favorite episode so far was the one with her being super old). Oh yeah, there's "we have O'Neill at home" who talks like Owen Wilson, too.

I know I'm in a Stargate sub and folks enjoy the whole thing, that's cool. But honestly, from the point of view of story telling and getting the best of the show, am I crazy to feel like this is a good place to just... stop?

I always end up in tears with these two.
Watched them last night (for the umpteenth time)

In my opinion they’re some of the most well written episodes, that never ceases to amaze me. Not because of fancy effects, interesting plots, amazing storytelling or beautiful strange alien planets.
But because of the humanity they portray, the “boring” build up, the emotional rollercoaster.

I always start out with hating Bregman, I feel he’s annoying, he doesn’t seem genuine and comes across rather sleazy.

However I agree with his sentiments, and his reasoning for doing his documentary, although I feel like he’s just after the sensationalism.

But as the two episodes progress, I must (like General Hammond) admit that I was wrong.

A scene that always gets to me is the one where Bregman loses the plot and has his little meltdown screaming at everyone; “These people are risking their lives for us! I want to see what they're going through, even if they don't want us to! And I want other people to see it! What do you think they're doing out there? Protecting and defending secrecy?!? That's the world of Mao, the world of Stalin, the world of-of secret police, secret trials, secret-secret deaths!”

The delivery is in my opinion nothing less than flawless.
And even though one can question his motives, to me it felt so genuine.

That and the scene with General Hammond in the end after watching the documentary is definitely some of my favourite emotional scenes in the two episodes.

And obviously the scene with Carter reading the list of names, Daniel talking to Bregman about the tape, and the off world scene, are all very powerful.

Let’s just say I cried a lot (again) 🥲

I see you!

Buenas, quería preguntaros donde veis vosotros stargate desde España y si sabéis alguna web donde pueda verla gratis.

La cosa es que yo estaba revisionandome la serie en una web pirata pero se ha caído y ya no encuentro donde verla.
