DON'T MOVE OR THE POGO GETS IT

Wasn't there "evil" Asgard in the Pegasus galaxy? Whatever happened to them?

I still have to watch the last couple of episodes of SGU but one thing I don't get is why the Lucian Alliance were considered such a big threat to Earth. I mean Earth may not have the chair from Antarctica to protect them anymore, but they do have Atlantis parked somewhere off of San Franciso, and their own ships, not to mention all that Asgard technology the SGC got before the Asgard wiped themselves out. And the planting bombs with cloaked ships thing bugged me, because there was an episode of SG-1 where Carter tries to locate a cloaked ship by the signals it was giving off or something, and I imagine it would be easier for them spot cloaked ships now since they have Atlantis, which can cloak itself, and Asgard sensors among other things.

Speaking of Atlantis, whatever happened to it? I was hoping they make some reference to it in that SGU episode with Woolsey and McKay in it, but no mention of it.

Weir wasn't that bad in comparison to Forde yeah. I was glad when they got rid of him.

According to the series of books (it's a six part series called Legacy) that take place after the series, Atlantis (and her crew) eventually head back to the Pegasus galaxy against the wishes of the IOA.

In general I never read any of those novelizations because they're basically fanfic that managed to get published.

For those wondering what the SGA movie would have been about, JM blogged that it was to begin with Atlantis having been put on the moon, and then McKay finds it's about to self destruct due to a safeguard the Ancients put in to stop it being stolen from the Pegasus galaxy, so back they go.

As retarded as it sounds, I can somehow see the Ancients doing this. gently caress those guys.

The Lucian aliance sucked, Stargate command can defeat the Goulds, Wraith and Ori, but it's the space mafia that can finally sneak nukes into earth. Just binged though the second half of SGU, it became a much better show. They formed a cohesive ongoing plot that wasn't lame.

This is the main problem I had with it. Other than that SGU was beginning to grow on me. The second season was much better when they stopped the overemphasis on the drama and started doing something more scifi.

I don't give a poo poo about writing, weir was a bad actress, always too poised and squinting like she's looking off over a horizon or something. Never liked her and was glad when she was gone.

You should've seen her in that Stonehenge movie. She played a British scientist who's main talent was to break out in an American accent every 5 minutes.

So I was flicking through channels and I came across some Christmas movie with the guy who plays Apophis in it. You can imagine my disappointment, when he was asked who he was, he said "Your guardian angel", instead of "I am your god Apophis" and proceeding to mindblast them. He did have quite the afro though.

Exactly. Watched episode 11 where they encounter an alien space ship and that was a wonderful use of the stones.

Using the stones for short range communication in unfamiliar terrain or hostile territory? Great usage. Using the stones to go to a club and get drunk in someone else's body? Disturbing.

Now if this were a comedy, I can see huge potential in the stones.
"Why did I wake up in the hospital?"
"Eli ate a whole bowl of peanuts with your body."
"But I'm allergic to peanuts!"
"Indeed."

Didn't they sort of do this with McKay and his fear of citrus fruit?

I was actually referring to that episode in SG-U where characters from Atlantis show up. Specifically the bit where McKay starts freaking out a little bit because he thinks whoever he swapped bodies with was eating citrus fruit while in his body.

Hey guys, remember when there was that awesome PC game that was gonna be a FPS and was even teased in the episode where Teal'c was playing in the immersion chair?

Yeah, that went places too.



Wasn't there also supposed to be a Stargate MMO based on the game Eli plays in SGU? Whatever happened to that?
