Stargate

About 3 years ago, I watched the stargate movie and really loved it. I immediately tried to watch sg1 but had a really hard time due to the characters being recast with actors who are significantly different than their movie counterparts.

Well, I guess enough time has passed and I got through the first 3ish episodes and have been hooked since then.

I just started season 2 this afternoon.

Please no spoilers.

I was working while listening to music and when it switch to this song I got really really distracted by the sound effects. I'm sure I can hear the gate connecting, a staff opening and make a staff or zat firing

Good evening everyone.

For people whose mother tongue is not necessarily English, have you watched Stargate in its original version or in a version translated into your language? I watched SG-1 in French and I'm beginning to wonder whether it's better to watch in French or English. I think I've heard that some adaptations aren't very good. Do you have an opinion on this subject?

This episode is by far my favourite, but man does it hit me hard, loosing my intelligence like that is one of my worst fears, plus David Hewlett knocks it out the park.

Actually, I watched two episodes. Once I got past the cut-corners animation, bad character development, the writing and dialog was just the worst ever. I thought I would watch through all the episodes and then pass judgement, but I barely made it through the second episode when the thing hatched out of it's cocoon, can barely speak, doesn't know anything, and everyone is asking, "Are you an Ancient?" And in the middle of a fire-fight too. I had to turn it off at that point. I can't believe I watched it.

I never finished SGU back when I first got access to it. I've finished both SG-1 and Atlantis countless times. I remember watching most of the SGU pilot episode and quitting. I thought it was being too overly edgy and grimdark, trying to follow in the footsteps of the Battlestar Galactica reboot. I couldn't stand the idea of a Stargate show that was just characters being awful to each other.

Recently I tried giving it another shot and made it through the pilot episode. The characters are still abrasive to each other, but much less than I remembered, and they seem to for the most part mellow out a bit with each other as the episodes progress. I just finished the forth episode and I do want to continue. I am hoping they start actually doing something more than "the ship is falling apart we need to do something to fix it" plots, but I suppose the show really is trying to plant the setting.

No one ever asks me how I feel about the passing of the last Ba'al clone....

As shared by some of the authors of the books, it seems like something is holding up the release of more novels in the Fandemonium Stargate series.

Apparently there is at least one book that is finished and ready to go (and has been for a while now), but there is something preventing it from going ahead. I'm assuming it's some sort of licencing issue, especially considering that the fan game Stargate Network was C&Ded when Timekeepers got the go ahead. (Still yet to finish releasing a full game on that one.)

MGM still pulling the old move of sitting on the IP without doing much with it.

Just love everything about this segment and a truly awesome look behind the scenes.

Will be posting up the rest of the segments in chronological order in the cross-posted community

Ran into this recently and was really impressed. The Stargate Project (website) is by Kristian Tysse (youtube).

Dumbed down the deep-cut-ness because of all the down voters, now basically anyone can get it so you don't actually have to think or know anything about SGA. I blame the initial downvoters and the hive mind after effect.

Rather disappointed in the mod as well, was removed without even clicking on the spoiler for context and/or asking a simple question about the meme. Lazy work.

Anyone complaining? Let's see your OC stargate meme!

Seriously?

This has got to be some kind of joke. This game has been through delays after delays, broken up into episodes, more delays, released in a broken state, delays again, and now they are wanting beta testers for the second part?

I'm happy for a Stargate game, but if the struggle is this bad, just pack it in and let someone else have a crack. Remember, MGM forced Stargate Network to shutdown for this; a fan made game that was a screen accurate FPS in the making with less bugs than this professional game.
