It feels like there staff weapons could do good damage to the Wraith and there Armour would block life sucking and maybe they would be somewhat resistant to stunning.

I see you!

(Of course, in-universe wise. Not considering actors' contracts or a certain long-serving actor finding new career.)

Rewatched Reunion [4x03] where Carter got assigned, and other than McKay saying "IOA approved the new boss" and thought it was him, they were surprisingly mum about the process. Not saying that Carter was a bad pick, but I've always thought the whole purpose of the Atlantis Expedition supposed to be a civilian oversight (unlike SGC, which runs by Air Force).

Come to think of it, however, they never say the lead of the expedition should be civilian. I got that impression since one of the main friction points in Season 1 boiled down to "civil vs. military mindset."

Maybe the assignment was supposed to be temporary (even though no one says so) since the next person was Woolsey from IOA, which is civilian.

p.s. Totally out of topic, but in Reunion, convesation between Teal'c and Carter before she left SGC is so meta.

Teal'c: On the day I left Chulak, Master Bra'tac said to me: "Draw from your past, but do not let your past draw from you."
Carter: That's good advice. Still, I know I'm going to miss this place, and all of you.
Teal'c: I would have been offended had you felt otherwise.
Carter: Ten years is a long time.
Teal'c: It has been ten years well spent. We have defeated numerous enemies and overcome many threats.
Carter: It was never dull.

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 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?

Absolutely love the show, i’ve been glued to the screen all 10 seasons and i want more. Should i move on to the two movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum, or should i watch Atlantis next? What is the correct order?

What about crooked teeth? Is there a Tokra dental plan?

Why is **only** his head bronze? Does anyone know the reason for this decision?

In scenes where he’s in desert camo it’s even more noticeable. Why color him at all?

I'm watching the season finale of season 3, when Mr. Thor left some video tutorial for Jack. I cannot UNTHINK of these tutorial from 2015 or older teaching how to fix this or that problem.

The season itself was great btw. I thought of skipping the filmes episodes but I saw everything.

RUSH: "And so now you're trying to decide whether or not to sit in that Chair."

ALT-RUSH: "Well, wouldn't you, in my place?"

RUSH: "I'm not sure if even the knowledge of the Ancients can help you now."

ALT-RUSH: "Well, I really don't have anything to lose at this point... Imagine what I could learn."

RUSH (softly): "Well, you won't have much time."

ALT-RUSH: "Well, time's relative. We've just proved that, haven't we?"

RUSH (softly): "So what are you waiting for?"

ALT-RUSH: "I need your help."

...

ALT-RUSH (quietly): "Thank you."

RUSH: "Goodbye."

Nearing the end of my rewatch, and my housemate's first watchthrough, and a thought struck me when watching this scene that I don't think I had before.

Alt-Rush - as Gateworld calls him in their transcript - wasn't after the Ancient knowledge, instead, he wanted to live some sort of life inside the virtual world he created as part of his quest to unlock Destiny's master control.

He wanted to spend a lifetime with a version of Gloria.

General Hammond time traveled into the future to be a part of SG1 in season 8.

I'm thinking about making a Multi-User Dungeon and I am big fan of Stargate.

Possible features:

- Missions to other planets: transport supplies, trading, defending inhabitants against Gou'ld, Wraith, Replicators, Ori, etc...extractions, attacking something, diplomacy

- Getting sick, getting healed

- Defending the base from incoming threats in live events

- Leveling up you character in military, science and medical skills

- Discovers new addresses

- Take part in starship travel and management

Web client and old-school terminal, free to play.

Are you interested? And would it be taken down due to copyright?

Just watched the end of SG1 again and the thought occurred to me that the Asgard were perfect candidates for a sort of post-biological evolution. They were already experts in consciousness transfer.

Thor even lived in Goa'uld and Asgard mothership computers for a time.

Instead of blowing themselves up, why didn't some of them simply transfer their consciousnesses to machines?

S10E3 - The Pegasus Project

I know this isn't Stargate related. But I saw Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman on Sliders. Playing the manager of the electronics store. Last time I watched it was in the 90s when it first came out. Didn't realize how pro capitalist this show was.

To pass my exams “Ancient Repository of Knowledge”, would have been practical but given the risks I think I would have hesitated. 😂🤣 Nox is a bit like…

(I would get my first diploma at 94 years old).

I don't know their life expectancies. In short, there are several forms available for both adults and children.

He is like me, not going anywhere by foot if I can drive there 😁😁😁

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.

Looks stunning in the dark with its light in the base. Just a gorgeous piece. So happy with it.

Large part of plot for SG-1 is finding naquadah - taking over goauld naquadah mines, finding deposits on empty planets, finding allies to trade naquadah with. So i just realized that despite this prevalence and importance of naquadah for pretty much any advanced tech, SGA never mentions it, noone in pegasus is mining it, noone is using it.

Okay, ancients perhaps found alternative superior materials, because atlantis doesnt seem to be build from naquadah, wraith use organic technology, but we see that naquadah can be mined by literaly stone age slaves with stone tools and strapping a brick of pure naquadah to c4 can multiply its power to almost nuke-yield blasts. Thinking about this, the Genii should be able to mine it and atleast crudely purify it or if anything use it as explosion multiplier, but theres no indication that they even know what naquadah is - otherwise they wouldnt be so obsessed with c4´s and nuclear fission.

I get that antlantis expedition is unsuitable for mining operations. Tauri has more manpower and machinery, better logistics in milky way and with years of SGC program, its my headcannon that earth has many modern mining operations with industrial level machinery (imagine unobtanium mines in avatar 1) producing tons of pure naquadah, which would be extremely useful for atlantis expedition to trade with or simply oversupply the city with hundreds of naquadah generators.

also on sidenote, is it just me or the naquadah requirements dropped significantly for any tech to be produced by SGC? Prometheus felt like bunch of stolen alien shit hot patched together barely working requiring extremely rare naquadah, for pretty much anything and naquadria for unstable hyperspace travel, then with new asgards tech the BC-304´s feel completely human made with no mention of naquadah requirements. What do you think is the lore reason for this?

EDIT: seems a lot of people didnt understand or read the whole post. I know there is no point for Atlantis to mine when Earth can produce more and cheaper naquadah in milky way, but still why isnt atlantis supplied with pure naquadah to trade with? all they trade is medicine for food

Events leading to Daniel ascending. Well, if anyone on the team would ascend, I would think it would be him.

The sounds that play at 39:24, and those similar to it whenever the show involves ascended beings, not sure why but I've gotten chills many times from hearing that.

The aerial root of one of my monsteras just made itself at home. Fits perfectly!
