I love SG1 and the spin offs. It went a bit off the boil towards the end. But them's the ravages of time.
I blumming love 200.
And it has possibly the best time loop episode of any TV series.
It's been a long while since I watched any of it.

I love McKay, though I've learned the hard way acting like McKay is a good way to piss people off and get punched.
Big fan here. Loved all 3 shows. (SGU took a while for me to warm to it, but it foubd itself in season 2.)
I'm in the minority of really loving season 9. The deconstructing of the allies felt a bit like season 5, but given the situation, I liked how it all played out. Using Mitchell as the proxy of the audience was a great move.

I was a fan of McKay from his very first Stargate episode. The one where Tea'c is stuck in the wormhole and they got 48 hours to save him. I knew even then I would love to seem as regular someday and even hopped he would have replaced Daniel during the season he left the show. Was really happy when they made him on a regular on Atlantis.
well technically in my opinion, the first episode of SG1 feels like the sequel anyway. It even has the return of the skaara actor.
Yes. His interactions with Shepard are top notch and hilarious.
It does, yes, but it was also made way different than the rest of the show, since it was originally produced for HBO and intended to be a bit more intense than what the show ended up being. So, the different feel is unsurprising. The production team went back and reedited that two parter in to one full length film style pilot, including Christopher Judge dubbing his lines to sound in line with Teal'c as a character.
Yep and his name was Eli. The best character IMO on the show but Carlyle was also great. A underrated great character was Ronald Greer.
David Blue was actor playing Eli Wallace. Great character... met him at DragonCon years ago. Really cool guy.
"200" was high-lar-ious! I have a still photo of them in the Wizard of Oz outfits.
"Window of Opportunity"! A quick search says it's in season 4. One of (IMO) the 2 best versions of "Groundhog Day" ever done on TV (the other was a Xena episode).
The best part of the show (for me) came as Richard Dean Anderson got more comfortable with taking O'Neill in a different direction from how Kurt Russell played him in the movie. RDA is wonderful with comedy and several of his co-stars called him "an overgrown 14 year old" in some behind-the-scenes stuff I saw. I saw him at a con several years ago, and it fit.
There was a Stargate subforum here at the height of Stargate's popularity. I love the first 6 seasons of SG1. Atlantis is watchable and there are a couple of good episodes of Universe. They relied on the stones too much to ever advance the plot, though.
Also hasn't been a "chubby guy actor" for quite a while, which is an object lesson about typecasting.
That reminds me, I am really disappointed that out of all the various crossovers we had between SG-1 and Atlantis, including McKay's pre-Atlantis appearances on SG-1, we never once got a scene where Teal'c and McKay interact. That would be so awesome.
Holy shit! That guy is ripped! I mean seriously. Even with the name right there, my mind is having trouble comprehending the fact that he used to be Eli on SGU.
The fun part is, he'd already started losing weight when he was cast in SGU. It's not obvious because he's wearing the same big t-shirt all show, but there's a visible difference between the first and last episode. If the show had gotten a full run, he would've out Daniel-Jackson'd Daniel Jackson as "team nerd who becomes buffest guy on the show" by season 5 or 6.
The writers knew he was working out, by the way, so I do wonder how that affected their long-term plans for the love-triangle subplot. The classy thing would be for Chloe to still not be interested in Eli romantically even after he got hot, which season two of SGU makes me think would be the likely outcome, but season one's bad decisions makes me worry they would've done the thing that makes them both look shitty and have them get together once they're both on the same level of conventional physical attractiveness.
When I watch Stargate my ending is season 8. If I even make it that far. All the major villains are beat. The main characters go fishing in the last scene. Perfect ending. Hell, three episodes in a row you could end on.
No reason whatsoever to repilot.

I agree and then continue with what they planned, Stargate Command
Yup: Stargate's fun.
