5 Minutes of Premiere up on YouTube

Looks like SG-1 with BSG's camera work. In other words, not as gritty and "real", but headed in that direction.

It also looks like a bit of curiosity about the 9th chevron at the wrong time is what kicks off the events in the series.
 
Well, it looks like they ported over the visual aesthetic of Battlestar Galactica, but everything else is the same as SG-1. Eh, we'll see. I'm not particularly enthused by the clip, but let's see the whole premiere first.

If they wanted to swipe something from BSG, the vomit-cam would not have been my first choice. :rommie:

Foolish humans, why do they keep trying to take down those videos? Nobody stops teh internets!
 
Yeah the attack part looked like it was BSG to the point where i was rolling my eyes.

The camera angles were never really the issue with the show.
 
Well, that was entertaining, anyway. But I don't get how Carter's ship was getting its ass kicked by the Lucian Alliance. After all, an Earth ship with Asgard weapons can take out an Ori ship in a couple of shots as seen in Unending. Surely a Goa'uld Ha'tak would be nothing for that?
 
^Atlantis, Unending, and The Ark of Truth also established that the earth ships are pretty well hosed when ambushed.
 
Earth ships in Stargate are as powerful (or weak) as the plot demands. :)

BTW, what is all this crap about shaky/'vomit' cam??? If you think that clip showed extreme camera shaking, then you are either 65+ years old or you have some vision problems. That was pretty mild stuff.
 
Compared to some things it's mild, but compared to the very still (and when it does move, very fluid) camerawork of the previous two Gate shows, it's a big change.

Which is the problem with the franchise, they should have never have built ships, that's the start of the downfall.

Now they have super duper mega ships, but some old Gaoul'd weapons gives them hell? Of course with the horrible writing Sam's character has gotten, maybe it's all her fault.

This is true of all franchises though, ships are as powerful as fast as they need be for plot purposes.

Do you just read what you want out of what people say? Dear god read what I fucking wrote. This isn't Star Trek, or Star Wars, there were no human ships for 5.5 years and the mistake was having humans get ships so quickly.

Season 1 final had freaking space ships, and within 5 years we already had a pretty massive ship.
 
Yeah, I remember when I started following SG-1 more a few years ago, I kind of rolled my eyes when I first saw the Prometheus and that they now had hyperdrive technology and transporter beams. Was it really so hard for them to remain unique?

I'd hardly call the Prometheus that big of a ship and it was needed in the defense of the planet which is the mandate of the SGC. And I don't see any reason why SG1 had to remain exactly the way it had been after the first five seasons, then the show would've truely have gotten stale.
 
Im another one who doesn't think the ships were the show's issue. Really, the problem with SG-1 was that it went on too long. It told its story and wrapped things up...but it just didn't want to die and went on for 2 more seasons than it should have
 
^While I agree that the ships weren't the problem, I'm actually the exact opposite on the other issue. I thought they were really hitting their stride again, especially the last season, and I felt that they needed a couple more seasons to really develop and flesh out the Ori arc.
