Rhyno posted:Spent the day at WizardWorld Chicago today, met Alaina Huffman and Julia Benson. Alaina is super sweet and very cute. Julia is drop dead gorgeous, and absolute treat to talk to and had a rock on her finger the size of a gold ball. I told her how much I enjoyed SGU and how much the internet wanted a third season. She said they all loved working on the show and she was hoping for more opportunities to smack idiot scientists around. The we talked about comics and I told her she'd make an amazing Wonder Woman and she said he agent been pushing her to audition for the pilot but her schedule didn't allow it. Sup man  I can attest to all this; Julia and Alaina were super awesome, and Julia asked me about places to eat around Chicago (I told her Pequod's).

Eikre posted:Pretty sure its, "let's get the guy who can shoot and stab every Wraith on the ship at the drop of a hat to go with him." Yeah, I'd only want to have Ronon on my side during that mission. "If you wanna live, stay behind me."  Also, as a pure fan of action choreography, did anyone else like the Sateda episode? You know, the one where they just let Ronon loose on his homeplanet like it was a videogame level, and he ran around tearing up poo poo in a manner reminiscent of the over-the-top fight scenes in Desperado? Best part was him fighting the final END LEVEL BOSS Wraith, only to get his rear end kicked and get saved by Carson and a well-placed drone. And he doesn't even care; even gives the bloke a hug.

spronk posted:I don't get the Vala hate, I loved her character. She injected some great humor and "scoundrel" behaviour into Stargate. She reminded me a lot of Quark or Q. Of course, I liked her character on Farscape as well so that biased me. I can see how Vala would get overly annoying (I bet the same people who hate River Song on Doctor Who would hate Vala - they're very similar smug, overbearing mysterious aliens), but I do like her. And that is likely bleedover from Farscape. It's really interesting to see Ben Browder and Claudia Black basically switch characterizations when they go to Stargate - Ben Browder goes from wacky, slowly-going-crazy scientist to dour, dry Mitchell, and Claudia Black turns in her ice-queen persona as Aeryn for goofy space slut Vala.

eviljimmy posted:The only real thing I would have changed would be to replace Teyla with that replicator woman who came to the Wake for Sheppard's dad. She was likeable and great looking as well as being able to kick rear end due to being a machine, not to mention a fairly decent scientist with a background in nanite stuff. Then we'd have a Power Ranger on the team. (Literally, she was on Power Rangers.) I see little problem with this.

JetsGuy posted:I mean, that's what I was gonna say, but the overall team dynamic on SG-1 was better. What I mean by that is the four of them worked better together than the four on SGA. That's because of the dead weight that was Teyla. Sheppard and McKay were great, and Ronon was a fairly-good Chewie to Sheppard's Han. They just needed another good fourth character, and they never had that.

I think the reason I like Ronon is related to one of the things I like most about the SG series - I never really felt like it completely skimped on the action. They had a fantastic stunt team on their hands, and they were always willing to give it 110%. Episodes like "Sateda" and "Midway" let us just go balls-to-the-wall with over-the-top but really dynamic action sequences, since they found ways to do it cheaply, and had good stunt teams/willing actors to do the gruntwork. Sometimes things like the stick fighting looked silly, but it at least looked like they were fighting most of the time, and everyone looked cool doing it.

I'm actually slowly doing that right now on a rewatch, but since I own all the DVD seasons, I'm just alternating disks between series (disk 1 of SG-1 season 8, disk 1 of SGA season 1, etc.). It's nothing you absolutely need to do, but that gives me 4-episode chunks where I switch shows.

Yeah, the crossovers are inconsequential in the long run, but it's kind of fun to see the jumper in season 8, unknown to SG1, after we see what they are; the actual finding of the ZPM they bring to Atlantis at the end of season 1; knowing who everyone is when SG1 finally visits Atlantis if it's your first time, etc. All really little things that don't hurt your enjoyment of the show if you watch them separately, but still kinda fun to see together.

Both are watchable if only for the fact that they get to use a full orchestra this time, which makes Joel Goldsmith's (RIP) music sound tremendous. The fully-orchestrated score for Atlantis' pilot was also great, but the rest of the time it's mostly been synthesized orchestra.

bobkatt013 posted:I think he means in the Farscape parody that Daniel was John. It's also a play on the fact that they look somewhat similar, which is why Shanks had the half-beard for Browder's first six episodes - they were worried people weren't going to be able to tell them apart. Apparently a huge portion of the Stargate audience has prosopagnosia.

PriorMarcus posted:I can't remember what the gently caress is going on here. How did this come about? What's the Ori ship firing at or being fired at by before the gate opens? Why the black hole? It's whenever SG-1 is in Pegasus throwing a gate into a black hole to keep the supergate in a constant dial (so that the Ori can't use it). The Ori ship's firing at Teal'c Al'kesh I think; and the ka-woosh is what destroys it.

Burning_Monk posted:Rewatching SGA and they do seem to pickup a few of those giant Wraith stunners. They've got a few in their armory as well. They just look incredibly ridiculous and cumbersome to carry. A Zat earlier on would have been way more functional. Eventually they move on to the small pistol stunners at least. From what I remember, after the first season they also redesigned the big stunners to make them sleeker - they just repurposed weapons from some SG-1 third season episode to make the new stunners.

As impractical as it was to leave them out, I'm sure the in-production reason to not bring Zats to Atlantis was to separate the aesthetics of each show, and keep them as distinct as possible. At the very least, this extended to not bringing the weapons of a villain they didn't plan on having in the show at all. Speaking of weaponschat though, does anyone remember what weird gun Carter had in the back half of season 7? It had all kinds of attachments to it, including a huge foregrip that also surrounded the barrel.

As did I - I think it's very well-paced, it toned down the Whedonness just enough to make sure it wasn't obnoxious, the score works quite well, and I still believe Whedon should have kept this cinematographer for The Avengers, since this movie looks a lot better. It's a perfectly serviceable mid-grade space opera, with just enough quirks to make it stand out.

It's like they waited 5 years for the perfect chance to use the phrase. Fun fact - that kid was the little kid in Star Trek Insurrection, and was also one of the little high school friends in the Twilight movies. Kid looks like the spitting image of a young Edward Norton - those two should do a movie together along with Jason Dohring as one person in three different stages of their lives.
