Der Luftwaffle posted:My favourite bit of all time has to be when Bratac starts describing the dangerous journey they have to make to blow the ship's reactor and Jack just drops two grenades off the catwalk. It so perfectly lampoons the ridiculous objectives in FPS games that I always forget that the show pre-dates most of them. I love this bit as well. I hadn't thought of it as an FPS lampoon, so much as those over-the-top quest things where step one leads to two, and so on. Hate railroading. But we're in the same chapter, if not on the same page.

My favorite Bratac line was in the first season when they first went back to Chulak. I forgot why, by O'Neill says "yeah well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Bratac immediately interrupts saying, "NO! The bridge is too well guarded!"

Tits lets you know the show is serious, however they have to be attractive lady tits and they can only be shown once. Nothing else can ever be shown. Anybody remember the Overstock commercial where the woman was naked for no reason? They show her head up and then at the end they show she's been sitting naked on a couch, like I can't see tits on the Internet or my cats. I'm glad Stargate is over, it means they can't ruin it any more. Maybe in 20 years we'll get Stargate: The Next Generation.

So the ubiquity of tits online is diluting the power of tits in popular media? Fascinating, I should do some serious research on this topic...

Now that the cat teet talk is over, I have a question. What was Rodney doing being one of the first people breaching a building? This was the one where the space Nazis had some prisoners and a ZPM and Chief O'Brian was a space Nazi. I could see Rodney being the last one so he could check the ZPM and make sure there are no space bombs, but he was like the 3rd or 4th person in. Since when did Rodney get training on breaching and clearing a building?

Yaos posted:I've spent the last few days reviewing the teets on my three cats. Each have six teets arranged in a 3x2 pattern. When laid out on a grid of space with Earth at the center and drawing lines between all of the teets I discovered that every line intersected over Earth. Do you guys think my cat teets are the secret to traveling through the universe? Purrhaps there's a catgate somewhere on the planet and we have to use all the cats to rub against it to provide the power to run it like in Futurama with the cats. I don't know what season that was in... but I'm plowing through the first season right now, and while obviously not so much with the training...but Rodney seemed way braver than I remember him being in the later episodes. Maybe I'm crazy. But the one that is Shepherd vs Wraith vs alien fireflies comes to mind.

Early on, Rodney would just think, "Oh why should I worry, it's not like I can't handle everything with my genius." Later on, he'd be realizing, "Oh crap, I could die here, I'm really hungry and Wraith don't care how smart I am AAAAUUUGGGHHH." *fires blindly behind him while running away*

Daniel went from being the skitish guy with just a sidearm to clearing rooms with a P90 in SG-1.

That's because Shanks wanted to play with guns and grow a terrible stubble-beard like all those other ludicrous, silly hardasses. Consequently, Daniel started sucking once they made him more soldierly.

Shanks was upset that they were turning him into a grunt and didn't feel his character was being used well so he left.

Yaos posted:Are there any other SG teams that have an armed scientist? There are other teams with scientists, but when we see them they are always fat, autistic, or both. Maybe Rodney will be Capt. Picard one day, he was pretty on the ball. McKay did go from randomly firing his gun in the air to knowing how to handle himself after the first Wraith attack, maybe it was character development. Well most of the other teams have one specific purpose. There is a diplomacy team, a scientist team, and so on. However, SG-1 always got mixed up in crazy poo poo so he picked up fire arms pretty fast.

How about a series from the Gho'uld's side point of view made out like it's Vietnam. We follow a squad of Jaffa, there's a jumpy one that see humans behind every tree and another one that keeps ignoring orders and running off. We get flash forwards to them after the war, maybe one serves with SGC and he can't get over what happened and he thought working with humans would help him get over it. I'm still waiting for the WW2 Stargate series that retcons the Ori out of existence so we can see battles between free Jaffa and Jaffa loyal to their now deposed gods. It could be called Stargate: Band of Jaffa.

I just finished watching the last season of atlantis, which I had missed before. And I gotta say, I liked teyla a whole lot more as a ruthless wraith queen. They should have kept her like that. And the alt universe episode in vegas was about ten times more badass than anything else they ever did.

golgo13sf posted:Thank you, I can never understand how people don't like that episode I think part of the problem is that it was the second-to-last episode of the show. If it had come right before a season finale a lot more people might like it, but as it is we get that and then a weird, messy finale that really felt like it could have used an extra hour and people just start to feel like they wasted their time with the alternate universe instead of seeing more of the characters the show had been about the entire time. (For the record, I liked it but think it should have been earlier in the season or something)

That was the second to last episode of the show? I could swear the finale was at least a two parter. But yes, CSI: Atlantis was brilliant. Even though it's satire it probably showed the skills of the people making the show better than any other episode did in that they pulled it off so well.

IRQ posted:I couldn't disagree more. The further Daniel got from movie/first season Daniel the worse the show was getting. That kind of growth was both cool and disappointing to me. For example, I always like how we were fighting these sci-fi alien creatures using currently existing technology early on and only really succeeded due to us having the element of surprise (and it came back and bit the team in the rear end in the first season's clip recap episode). But as the series progressed it became more and more space battle sci-fi - which made sense since were were seizing alien technology and backwards engineering it but it started to lose that underdog aspect to it I enjoyed. The first three or so seasons are some of the best; everything after is good but not as great as the first seasons in my opinion.

Hey I just thought of something else related to season 5 of Atlantis. You know how they tricked fake-Weir and her replicator buddies into jumping through a stargate into another stargate in orbit? Well... what's to stop that from happening normally? There are stargates on the surface of many worlds, with DHDs and everything. What's to stop some hapless farmer from experimentally dialing a new gate address and stepping through into eternal oblivion?
