Effingham posted:drat. Part of me wants to think that's not just a fortuitous casting accident, but actually a clever plan by the powers that were on the show, a bit of an easter egg to those who were really paying attention. There's only so many actors in Vancouver.

There won't be much of anything good to be honest. This is going to be like desk chairs and shelves and poo poo like that. I guess if you're lucky there might be a logo on something.

I'd give a guy some nerd cred if he had one of the CRTs from he original dialing computer. Or O'Neill's couch or something.

So with this auction it means that more Stargate movies have no chance of being made? Or is this all stuff that they can get rid of?

By the time this gets rebooted the only cameo role Richard Dean Anderson will be fit for is Cheyenne Mountain.

I was always kind of surprised they didn't jump on the magical universal translator bandwagon since Stargate actually had a decent enough excuse for it. Something like the Goauld are sick of their slaves babbling on in fifty million different languages so they always leave behind a couple of translators. Not that I really care one way or another. Dealing with language differences in sci-fi is really loving stupid unless you're talking about a one-off movie or the language is actually part of the plot. Doing it every episode would have just been incredibly silly.

I think the only real reason why SGA didn't last longer is because they just could never find a good combination of four people for the team. Part of the issue, I think, is this unsaid rule that there needs to be a female team member, and we got stuck with Tayla. That only got worse when they tried to make her more important...spronk posted:I know SGU tried really hard for the "realism" aspect... ...and ruined it my making every single character more insufferable than Kavanaugh. Maybe they got better after I stopped watching at mid-season 1, but I doubt it. Paradoxish posted:Lexx is... a favorite around here? People actually like Lexx? I'm suddenly rethinking my strategy of watching shows based on goon recommendations. I liked Lexx, but I'd never recommend it to anyone because inevitably that person would come back to ask what the gently caress is wrong with me. Kerbtree posted:Yes. Lexx is a boldly honest b-movie tribute. Trash, smut, rubber(cg) monsters and all. It's, and gently caress tvtropes for making me feel bad for saying this, So Bad It's Good. It's a Rocky Horror in Space deal. I thought we Lexx fans had all agreed to never talk about Season 4? Flatscan posted:SGU is SG1's douchey little brother that acts like one of the goth kids from South Park. I think SGU came from someone taking "Teen Angst SG1" from 200 seriously.

Abydos was also moved magically closer to earth between the movie and the SG-1 pilot so it wasn't in an entirely different galaxy. I've been re-watching SG-1 and just started season 2. Season 1 has some clunkers but overall I liked it. Except for that clip show, but I guess every tv show needs that. I just wish that SG-1 overall had featured more Maybourne, he was one of my favourite characters from the show.

The clip show introduces the best human villain so it has that going for it. Its also one of the few clip shows that continue the plot lines instead of just being there.

Clearly, SG-1 merely had Daniel provide simultaneous translation every episode. His archeology degree comes in handy somehow.

Yes, we know they changed it between the movie and the tv show, that's the point that was being made, that all of a sudden everyone could speak English and all gates were the same!

Yet another reason why Amanda Tapping was horribly misused during season 4. Would have been a seamless transition with Carter taking Tayla's place once she realized she was preggers. Instead we get Carter stuck in Weir's old office doing paperwork and MSPainting the CGI sets for Sanctuary. That Guy From Pearldiver fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jun 18, 2011 |

All the laptops were gone by the time I got there. I did manage to buy a $50 mouse for $1 though. I wonder if Joe Mallozzi used this to click something with! I may or may not have bought a bunch of props and uniforms... (They were only $10 each!!) I'll post some pictures in a bit. edit: I think I got this guy's uniform http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Chen and a black hat that said O'Neil on the inside.

I bought 4 or so military jackets, one of them has a bullet hole and some blood. There was even a picture of the guy who played Chen wearing it pinned onto the jacket. Didn't buy the pants though because they were too big. I think I might have bought a Genii jacket too? Not too sure, I'll take pictures of those later if people wouldn't mind identifying what they are. Anyway, some pictures from today:

That Guy From Pearldiver posted:Useless Carter > Useless Tayla Yes but Carter was never useless  Daniel was the useless one of sg1, not saying I didn't love the character, but honestly when he wasn't playing translator he was just jacks conscience. I too would have loved the Carter McKay team, but that would have broken their team formula. But then I would watch "ronin & tel'c: wreaking poo poo" daily for a decade if they ever made that because their dynamic was so good. Hell, they should have done more sg1 Atlantis cross over eps too, because Shepard, Mitchell, and McKay had such a good dynamic on that one that I was hoping for more.

The whole death, ascended, alive, death ascended alive thing got tired quick. It was a neat gimmick the first time, but they shouldn't have kept killing and redirecting him, as that made it mundane.
