Watching "Citizen Joe" from season 8... And I did not realize the first time around that it was Dan Castellaneta playing Joe. Who else but Homer Simpson! This show just gets better every time.

My brain deletes the information so I can enjoy the frustration anew each time. Edit: my favorite thing about Stargate is how the enemies, be they enslaving worms or soulless nanites or life-sucking bugmen, will always pop the team in a prison cell. Sometimes it's for information or leverage, but sometimes it's just because Stargate. Brawnfire fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Mar 15, 2018 |

I bought all of SG1 and Atlantis on DVD one year ago now and I'm now on Season 8. It's great to run through it all considering I missed at least half the original airings. I just saw the two-parter where they go back in time to 3000BC Egypt (Moebius) and mess up the timeline and it is funny how many references to earlier episodes there are. Amanda Tapping does a great job of playing an almost completely different personality, and I love that they re-use one of the most cringe-worthy lines in the whole series. Was I on  though or does Moebius and the previous episode "Threads" end with an identical scene except for a couple lines of dialog? That was a bit of a strange choice.

If I recall that was due to be the end of the show, so the final scene was a call back ... minus the fish

I know a lot of people that aren't fans of The Ori, but I actually like how all the priors answer every question with an apt parable. It's frustratingly satisfying. Hallowed are the Ori.

They use it a third time in "200" when puppet Carter is introduced and doing a technobabble montage. They did not want that line to die!

They remade the pilot into a director's cut version that gets rid of the tits. Not sure how to feel about it.

On the one hand it's way less cringey and fits the tone of the series better. On the other hand I remember the directors cut also cutting out Apophis' "nice tits" head nod and that's a shame.

It makes more sense if you’re going to rerun the episode in syndication. It could have gotten a lot more nudity if it had stayed on Cinemax or Starz or wherever it started on.

It was pretty bad, Aset mind wipes Katherine and her father, Also messes with Kasufs mind telling him to go become the leader of Naquadah and help the holder of the Ra pendant in the future. Ra shows up kills Wasif and his boyfriend and raises them as jackal and hawk guards? Beil dies dialing the gate. Katherine and her father get back to earth, No one asks any hard questions concerning the dead nazi or anything else. Pretty terrible all around. Kasuf no longer helps the team from the movie cause he’s a good person but because he’s been brainwashed to do so.

*So* much Stargate. I'm a year into my binge watch and I just finished Season 8 and I thought oh no it is almost over, but no there's still 2 seasons of SG-1, 5x Atlantis, 2x Universe, and the movies. I'm not even half way yet, bitches! Also I am going to rewatch the pilot because I saw the re-cut to start this off and nobody told me there was a saucier version! I can't imagine a Game of Thrones style Stargate series where all the aliens are always having teh sex with naked people. All of the Gouald boasting would be about the size of their territories and how many people they get into their hatak for a bunga bunga party. There would also need to be some sort of velvet pillow area added to the bridge which if you ask me doesn't have nearly enough seating as it is.

They really dropped the galactic bridge like a loving hot potato after that Wraith incursion. I can see why, but drat if less than two operational years for humankind's first trans-galactic highway seems sort of... pathetic? Disheartening?
