The OP also has every right to express his opinion - pro or con - on the series.
Everyone get away from focusing on the poster, and please concentrate on the topic instead. If that proves too difficult, feel free to skip the thread.

Why should a franchise have to die to satisfy a critic such as you? Just simply stop watching it! It won't annoy you any longer, and those that do enjoy SG-1 can do so. Everyone wins.
I thought it was a dramatic improvement on Ark of truth.
There was one scene that fits this description to my recollection, and it lasted all of 40 seconds. And it was kind of necessary for the story. Besides, I think a nice epic 'were screwed' scene in the Arctic was pretty cool.
I didn't see immaturity, I saw them finally being able to have a character react how normal people do to impending doom. I'd swear. The reason it jarred in this instance was because we've seen these characters not swearing to 10 years. So it seems out of character.
Needless gore? I hardly think it was gory. The violence was pretty clean really, they could have gone a lot more disgusting than they did. The Apophis death was a setup for the 'off the top of your head' line. Shooting in the head make ssense for a creature who has great ability to heal, yet, as we saw earlier in the film, resides in the head and hence is vulnerable there. The slicing in half was just a way to do an intersting death, and setup the scene wehre he talks to Teal'c with the sword through him. wouldn't really have worked with say a hand device.
First scene, I agree, but I thought alternate-O'Neill on the submarine was pretty much good old O'Neill.
Quite untrue. Did you watch Bane? And the middle section wasn't action packed, but you jsut told them off for being immature. If it had been loads of action in the middle, you'd have cried foul over that, too. I thought the way they did the middle bit was the most 'realsitic' (if you can say that in this context) portrayal of an 'alternate universe''s reaction to SG-1 showing up they've done. Not bending over backwards to do what they say, but actually decidign they liek their world the way it is.
A fleet designed to be seen as bigger than we've seen before, including Anubis' fleet, and show how ba'al now controls the entire Goa'uld fleet.
The costume was pretty decent looking, I thought, appropriate to the character and the fact that Ba'al historically was a god of hedonistic sex.
Again, realistic character response - how would you respond in such a situation? I'd say 'i told you so' too.

Neroon did, and he finally did something right.
There is no need for 5 different topics all bashing Stargate all saying the same thing just dealing with a different episode/movie.

Yes. But Joe Flanigan is in the show, so I must keep watching. I have no free will where Joe is concerned.
However, I've completely and permanently given up on SG-1. Even Browder can't lure me back. You are the final holdout. Never give up! Never surrender!
Does that mean all the threads praising Stargate get consolidated, too? That would mean two threads in this forum, tops. That would be fun!
And the ones praising it, and complaining about it at least are done by different people at different times. Nuts just starts 5 topics about the same thing exact thing, some random episode sucks, the movie sucks. Just have those talks in the movie topic, and the episode topic.

Flanigan is one of the best things about the show I agree, however... browder?? Surely not.
Nicely said.
Nerroon, let the merging begin so we can only have 1 pro thread and 1 con thread woohoo!
In the last four pages, I've started a thread bashing Continuum (it deserved it), a thread questioning the variety of Wraith storylines, and a topic querying the decision to have a 1 hour series finale. Hardly "5 topics about the same exact thing".
Re: Repetitive
Can't you make that same argument when SG-1 was in it's fifth year and they were still doing the Gould base/ship infiltration storyline which had about the same variation to it that Atlantis does with their version of it?

Sorry about this, as I should have explained earlier. It's been that kind of day. I was trying a new technique for merging threads, but neglected to post in one that's what was being done.Nerroon, let the merging begin so we can only have 1 pro thread and 1 con thread woohoo!
Everyone else, you need to allow for the possibility of people not caring for the show. For what it's worth, Kpnuts is on record as liking other seasons. Consider what it'd be like yourself to see something you greatly enjoy going down the drain.
Kpnuts, you ought to consider the other side as well, regarding the sheer frequency of such threads.
This ain't kindergarten. Just a place to talk about Stargate, so treat it as such and not as a referendum on a tremendously moral issue.
I just wanted to say that I quite liked Continuum and enjoyed the "gore" and even the swearing. I am however glad they haven't resorted to something as purely attention grabbing as say, full frontal nudity in the direct to DVD movies. Nudity has no place in Stargate....... 
It's certainly indicative of something about what is culturally accepted when the producers decide to put Stargate forward into the unrated zone and they feel the obligation to add more swearing and violence (Continuum, Ark of Truth), but eliminate any nudity (Children of the Gods: Remastered).
