>huffs in frustration
Colonel O'Neill, care to explain why, despite spending billions in taxpayer dollars, your team has failed to retrieve even one single good stargate game? Gentlemen, Senator Mckinsey is threatening to shut this program down and if you can't give me answers there is nothing I can do to stop him.
GOOLD?
Colonel O'Neill do I look like im in the mood for jokes?
came for the goa'uld posting, think i'll stick around to see what else you magnificent cunts come up with next!
shut the fuck up moron gay
Wish I had saved the shoop where he and the eagle in the background had switched heads.
We're Rich.
can you autistic fucks go back to your containment threads you freaks?
REDDIT AND STONE BROTHER
Why do they switch between goold and go'auld with no consistency?
they dont switch between them do they? i thought the hammond actor just decided to say it that way and only him?
I remember Daniel saying Go'auld at first and then switching to Goold. Then there are characters that say Goold, but occasionally say Go'auld. Rule of thumb I think is Earth characters call them Goold because 'merica can't be assed to pronounce it.
My favorite is how Jack and some others pronounce the bad guys the same as the snacks
his reaction times are improving
I watched the series solely because of goold posts. Was a great decision.
It's so good. I still seethe over the horde of manchildren that worship Star Wars when Star Trek and Stargate have always been better than it.
Let's not bring up Trek. I don't want to think about what it has become
Why is his head so weird?
It's because the owls are not what they seem.
You're god damn right General.
Is SG-1 worth watching?
Yes. But I understand that not everyone has that kind of time.
Yes. S1 is a bit rought at times but it gets consistently better until S8.
Still waiting for ANY FUCKING NEW INFORMATION ON THE BLOODY NEW STARGATE GAME.
yeah, it suffers from lack of budget in s1 and 2 but from the s2 finale onwards it gets what it needs to really come into its own and gets a lot of good episode variety while building out pretty incredible lore and a lot of storylines that come together in a really satisfying fashion in s8. then they kinda milk it for 2 more seasons and some spin offs
i still don't get how the fucking pilot had full front female nudity, but the rest of the show is like star trek in terms of content.
(and god damn netflix has the 'nudity' warning on every episode)
the later seasons with jackson and whatever the aussie chicks' name were great, they had such good chemistry together.
claudia black? i guess but the story was kinda over at that point so it all felt pointless and no RDA messed up the overall team chemistry
SG1 shoulda ended at S8 and Atlantis allowed to go a few more seasons
yeah her, mala dorn now that i think of it was her chars name.
the new guy wasn't terrible, and they handled RDA's departure pretty well overall.
fuck, even beau bridges was good in his role.
for a show to run that long and not get too awful was kind of impressive.
>the new guy wasn't terrible
ben browder was a great fit, claudia black pushed the team chemistry a bit too far towards goofy
that said i fucking love farscape too
michael shanks is the real wet blanket
the episodes were daniel gets pushed outside of his moral code are the best for the character. unfortunately they made him space jesus which is just his character stereotype on overdrive and didnt do him any favors
>the episodes were daniel gets pushed outside of his moral code
Absolute kino
Hey, did you know that Goa'uld motherships are supposed to land on pyramids, but they only have three sides.
That's the old style that Ra used. The modern Ha'Tak can land anywhere.
Don't worry. The goold use their power to turn them into pyramids from tetrahedrons when landing.
>michael shanks is the real wet blanket
real MVP of stargate coming through
based, amendola is a fucking champion
michael shanks got worse in the role over time in my opinion, even excluding all the changes they forced onto daniel jackson as a whole
>goes from nerdy scientist to giga chat to literal god
to a certain extent you expect him to chad up after a few years of constantly being exposed to combat against the galaxy's most dangerous races but the space jesus thing was a bit much
The WAT?
Wait no, dont spoil it to me. Ihave heard the actor was a whiney bitch before, but that...
for all we know, all the shit that daniel got to do was a result of shanks bitching
Early Daniel acts like he has undiagnosed autism, can't communicate, hyperfixates on narrow interests, starts having outbursts when he's angry, will keep wandering off on his own.
I thought he was in a bowling alley for a moment
I was watching a guy play that Star Wars game with the hot Sith girl in it and I got really surprised that suddenly Bra'tac shows up as a Jedi hologram.
Bra'tac also has beer magic.
?t=90
>yeah her, mala dorn now that i think of it was her chars name.
Vala Mal Doran i think
>the new guy wasn't terrible,
I liked Mitchel. I liked Jonas too. The fact that they could change the core team throughout the series and it still worked out is kinda amazing when you think about it. By the end of SG-1 most of the original members had been replaced.
>SG1 shoulda ended at S8 and Atlantis allowed to go a few more seasons
This, but to me SG1 it was relatively decent, I just wished the first movie was the true ending to it
Still I agree with you about Atlantis, I loved the chemistry between the cast, specially Sheppard and McKay doing shit together.
>SG1 shoulda ended at S8
I like the Ori arc.
SG1 started as a showtime thing so boobies was part of the contract. It was a different time
Supposedly the show-runners didn't even want the nudity in the first episode, but Showtime forced them to put some tits in the show to justify it being on a premium cable channel.
Just wait until you see Farscape.
yes
I want to know this but with Atlantis, I am all out of scifi shows 🙁
Pff, as if. I bet you haven't even see Farscape.
That one and Babylon 5 just looked kind of silly. I'll check it out though, beats re-watching TNG/DS9 for the fifth time.
>babylon 5
>silly
oh no the fuck you didnt. B5 is one of the manliest war saga space operas of all time, you just have to have the smallest amount of imagination to look past the CGI that didnt age well.
Reminder that they still have the original renders
fuck I would pay all of the money for HD Babylon 5 release
Did HBOmax just do that? I seem to remember alot of people here being pretty hyped for it
No, that's just a guy from a group of people that have the renders, that's it. IIRC Warner Bros themselves did a quick and dirty upscale update on a 4:3 copy, not an actual re-render or anything fancy like that.
Babylon 5 will remain one of the best space operas.
Interesting plot, several memorable characters which evolve during the storyline, manages to have some non-monolithical alien species, etc.
Also, that delicious G'Kar / Mollari dynamic.
as much as I wish for more babylon 5 it had a complete narrative that knew exactly where it was going and didnt need to overstay its welcome. There are so many ways you could do a great B5 game though from starfighter sim, Sins of solar empire style or battle fleet gothic space battles, bioware style rpg, telltale games episodic adventure game
B5 could have been good if they didn't cast O'Hare
Sinclair was my favourite character in S1 though. Took almost the whole season 2 to get used to his replacement
Farscape and Babylon 5 are both great but take a while to really get going
Babylon 5 is fucking kino, please watch it.
atlantis is genuinely terrible, shits on sg1 lore, acting/writing/dialogue everything is bad except one of the wraiths is mildly entertaining.
Babylon 5 is like star trek but less gnomish and dumb (though still quite dumb) and eventually actually has quite a good plot. Some characters are very good but writing varies terribly.
Farscape is the best scifi (or sci-fantasy) show but the start is kinda weak because it was just a vehicle for henson showcasing. After that they got freedom to do what they want and you end up rape and genocide interspersed with fart jokes. It's mixes low budget camp and serious story beats so it's not everyone's taste.
Inb4 didn't watch Babylon 5.
i meant to say good scifi
Absolute shit taste.
StarGate SG-1 is my most favourite show of all time, but I really strongly disliked Atlantis.
It was so cartoonish in its design. McKay was the only good thing and the FemHammond was kinda hot in a stern MILF way.
But other than that? Kinda childish garbage.
I wish SG:U would have survived longer.
this kinda, in my opinion atlantis was a bit too heavily designed to be syndicated and its own cheesiness reminded me of xena/hercules
stargate universe i think deserved more time to flesh out but man they could have toned down the forced drama
are you fucking retarded? you hated it because it wasnt sg1. actually give it a chance. the characters are better than sg1.
Atlantis is fine, but not SG-1 levels of constant quality. Its highs are just as high, but its lows are a lot lower.
Atlantis suffers from occasional aimlessness due to the writers coming up with, and later abandoning, major plot points that are too challenging for them to follow up on; a wide cast of characters, some of whom get to engage in none of their supposed expertise on-screen; and asspulls galore to save/end dead-end episodes before the 50 minute mark. The set design is also of lower quality, though the city of Atlantis itself is cozy as fuck. SG-1's writing screams "we're doing our best with what we've got", while Atlantis frequently goes "eh, good enough".
Atlantis still oozes soul for its first 3 seasons. Season 4 was when SG-1 had ended and Atlantis became the sole SG series on TV, and it was already spent by that point. It just couldn't carry the franchise alone. Seasons 4 and 5 are mid and tired, though still manage to include a few of the entire franchise's best episodes.
Atlantis gets some hate, and a lot of it stems from it not being as brilliant as SG-1. In my opinion it's still worth a watch, especially if you find yourself loving the general idea of the Stargate franchise. Just do the chronological order thing (starting at SG-1 season 8, watch one Atlantis episode for each SG-1 episode) so it won't get a chance to wear you out.
Atlantis isn't as good as SG-1, but it's still worth watching if you want more Stargate.
Universe just kind of sucks and doesn't get decent until close to the end, then ends on a cliffhanger.
If you're looking for a top tier space opera show, give LOGH a try.
The retro tech is the best part. Remake with its modern scifi aesthetics looks soulless.
>Watch Star trek, Stargate, Babylon 5, Farscape, Battlestar galactica and any other scifi
>be done with them
>rewatch them because i forgot all the little details
This is max level comfy, I do not need anything more.
Firefly is worth a mention just because people have been mentioning other SciFi, the space western aesthetic is absolute kino (and to keep it Ganker, has only really been poorly attempted in The Outer Worlds)
Rimworld had a really nice space western vibe, complete with appropriate music, before the DLCs happened and diluted that aesthetic.
this.
>tactical ranged combat is perfect for the Stargate formula
>lots and lots of ways to set up a goal for an away team to accomplish, good enemy variety with Biotech
>medicine system and forced population gating make going on regular missions a pain in the dick to manage
The game insists on keeping up with so many variables per each pawn (despite running on a single CPU core), it starts grinding to a halt once you amass a large enough population. It's a goddamn shame because establishing a realm of your own with multiple sites and a functional economy would be such a great endgame goal to strive for in a game like Rimworld.
>(despite running on a single CPU core)
what?
why?
source?
Most games run on a single core
Multi-threading slows down game computations because it has to stitch the outputs together after processing, this usually isn't a problem for games, but processor intensive games like Rimworld and strategy in general really show it
Google, alternatively, open your task manager while you play and look at the processor load retard. That said, they've introduced some limited multi-threading to the game lately for low end calculations, lifting some of the burden it used to put on a single core.
https://twitter.com/tynansylvester/status/1231948440503910400
Can't find the specific tweet, but the dev himself has discussed the issue before. Multithreading in general is a complex game design hurdle that simply didn't fit the game's original scope as the dev laid it out. The majority of the game logic runs on a single thread (I said core in the first post, that wasn't quite right), though naturally some things, such as audio, are easy to separate to their own threads.
With the amount of variables Rimworld pushes around per tick, that single logic thread ends up really busy. There are mods out there that drastically improve the game's performance by reducing the rate of update for some less important variables (RocketMan), so there's a little less the game has to do per tick, but the load is still almost entirely on that single thread. Being highly CPU-intensive, Rimworld thus benefits massively from CPUs with high single core performance (high IPC and clock speed). Same goes for other CPU-heavy games such as Dwarf Fortress, Paradox grand strategies etc. Anything that has to keep track of a lot of numbers.
What
said is news to me, but even limited multithreading would be welcome in a game like Rimworld. That said, it's never going to be a linear improvement in performance due to the sheer complexity of having to figure out what, and when, you can effectively multithread without stalling the entire thing.
Even with the multi-threading it now has, it still doesn't run as efficiently as it used to with all the additions the game has had over the years. It really isn't something that can be fixed and will continue to run worse and worse as the game becomes ever more bloated. Woe to those retarded fucks with 300+ mod lists, god forbid anyone unironically using VE.
Turn-based tactical/base management sim like Xcom really would work better for a Stargate game than something like Rimworld. It's such a fucking miserable turn of events that we never got anything like that and probably never will. We do have AI voice synthesis now though, so who knows, we could actually get a game with Hammond in it now.
So many suitable genres out there, and all we ever stood to get were shooters and an MMO. I hope, in the future, when the state of western media has recovered from its current absolute state, Stargate will still be on the mind of someone influential.
Cute pic
Both SG-1 and Atlantis are amazing. Another sci-fi that's worth watching is Three-Body if you can handle listening to Chinese.
It is
the only real issue i had withh it (aside from kratos wanting to fuck every white chick he could get his hands on) was the retconn of the goa'uld
end of the movie, ra looked a lot like an asgard (when he's going back up to his ship, and they send the nuke)
in the show they're these weird worm looking creatures.
either is fine, just the discontinuity was a bit jarring =/
the movie is basically non canon at this point. oneill is a completely different tone of character, the ship is just a straight up pyramid and doesnt have the superstructure around it. Ra barely gets mentioned in the series and his death apparently didnt matter to the system lords.
well, i chalked up o'neill's change to coming to grips with his son's death, i can forgive that one.
it's been a while since i saw the early episodes, but i thought they mentioned him quite a lot in the whole apophis story arc?
either way, pretty minor stuff.
but the change in the goa'uld will always be a big wtf.
Alternate universes are canon, so I just go with that.
>(aside from kratos wanting to fuck every white chick he could get his hands on)
First 4 or 5 seasons yeah
Just skip the second episode and you will be fine
Yes these shows are great. Don't expect too much out of them, but they will entertain you.
Yes. Just don't expect to keep seeing tits, they stop showing them pretty early.
It's one of the best sci-fi shows ever made. What do you think?
>SG1
Rough season 1 and 2, good from then on
>Atlantis
Rough season 1 and 2, good from then on
>SGU
Chalk full of good ideas, but it has a lot going on and it's not always good, but engaging enough to understand that this is a gem. I don't have the webm of the chick with HUGE fucking tits.
Should have just said
>SGU
Rough season 1 and 2
Definitely has some late 90s cringe kino moments that can be jarring but overall it's good. The quality jumps wildly from episode to episode, but the stuff that's good is really good.
Yes. It's unironically the best TV series ever made.
SG-1 is definitely worth watching. I've watched it all the way through many times since I was a kid in 90s. It's probably my favourite sci fi show. And all 10 seasons are enjoyable imo.
Atlantis is pretty good too. Universe is okay, didn't really like season 1 but 2 is decent.
so, daniel impregnates a cute arab girl and then never visits her again? what was up with that nonsense
they resolved this plot line it just happened over the course of 6 seasons so if you have a short attention span you mighta missed it
"Scully did I ever tell you about the time your older half brother cheated on his coke addict girlfriend with a really hot waitress? He was a good friend."
It's pronounced Goa'uld.
foolish Tauri...only a god could deliver a good stargate game. Remember...all that glisters is Goold
What type of games? Every time I think about it it's either a rts or point & click.
an Evil Genius clone would be a pretty good fit
dark messiah in stargate universe
I'd say something like Dude Sex HHRR, where half the game is exploration/adventure with emphasis on dialogues (ideally) and then you have a combat section. I cant fathom a SG1 game being a straight pure fps
CRPG / tactics hybrid where each level is a different planet you are exploring, some missions solved primarily through dialogue and exploration instead of shootan
That one makes most sense. Stargate is about meeting new cultures and solving their problems so the game should be narrative-heavy.
Yeah, but it should have the series interesting balance between military jerkoff and pacifism, a bit of Ganker porn but also a lot of dialogue/diplomacy
>Stargate is about meeting new cultures and solving their problems so the game should be narrative-heavy.
This. But it should also feel like playing counter strike or Mass Effect. Source engine would be really appropriate for a Stargate game.
It would be amazing as a Jagged Alliance 2/XCOM type game.
X-COM styled game where you manage SG teams, collect artifacts, research technology, trade with off-world civilizations, and just generally try to come up with a way to protect Earth against the Goa'uld.
Do you fucking research

tactics game with story, out soon
>female jaffa
It's all so tiresome.
did you miss the episode with the female jaffas led by t'pol?
Did you not watch the show?
Not him, but it's generally understood that female Jaffa serving as foot soldiers is not a typical thing amongst the system lords, minor Goa'uld don't seem to have such scruples when it comes down to it, but for the most part, they seem to just stay home from what we've seen. It makes a lot of sense since the snakes take a lot of their inspiration from mythology and prevailing human attitudes from those points in history.
There was an episode whole clan of female Jaffa warrior led by Star Trek's T'Pol
Yeah, like I said, it's not a typical thing, but minor Goa'uld don't really give a shit. We never saw any female Jaffa serving under anybody else, much less any of the system lords. I always just guessed it was your typical feudal attitudes towards warfare. You conscript the men first, then everybody else if you need more troops.
well that character is a rebel jaffa like the ones in the show
It stands to reason that they weren't always and used to serve before the Tau'ri started conquering the galaxy with submachine guns
a military force that tries to aim staves as ranged weapons is not one you should expect any rationality out of
Not having female troops is the rational thing, ironically, even the US military has studied and determined that females literally cannot compete with men in terms of combat utility because they just can never get as physically strong as men can as a rule with very few exceptions. They do it anyway of course, since nobody really gives a fuck about infantry these days, and it's not as crucial in services like the air force.
That said, Jaffa literally have superhuman physical abilities and endurance thanks to their symbiotes not to mention they're slave armies, so it shouldn't apply to them regardless.
if you are a technological force that has weapons that dont depend on muscle strength it is foolish to cut your personnel pool in half for no reason. literally handicapping yourself.
>it is foolish to cut your personnel pool in half for no reason.
Women can't carry the same loads a man can
Women can't traverse the same distances with said loads a man can
Women can't carry wounded either
You are uneducated about the realities of service in the armed forces, so sit the fuck down before you make a fool of yourself.
women can sit in the cockpit of an air plane or the CIC of a warship, a UAV control trailer, a tank, or a joint operation center and employ sensors and weapons the same way a man can. i bet the closest you have ever been to the military was playing laser tag lol.
>it's not as crucial in services like the air force.
Already mentioned that, and the service isn't structured so you put the lowest scoring in physical fitness tests in cushy jobs, that's why the US army had to lower the minimum score to pass so they could have enlisted women. These are their own fucking words, Anon. It's not a political oh-you're-just-a-chud thing, it's an actual reality with study behind it.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/05/10/nearly-half-of-female-soldiers-still-failing-new-army-fitness-test-while-males-pass-easily.html
As I said, they don't really care because infantry haven't actually mattered for decades, my point has been made, you can accept that or continue seething about biological realities. Or just call me a chud, whatever, it won't change this.
you back and read the post you stupidly replied to without comprehending. a technologically advanced military that doesnt have to rely on muscle any more is foolish to ban women. even if there was some job that absolutely required hauling 100 lbs on a 12 mile hike, having women in your service to operate your tanks, drones, helicopters, boats, logistics services, frees up more men to do that one specific job and makes your military more effective and powerful. Try to read and not be retarded.
That's not how any military force works in reality Anon, it's just your preprogrammed need for gender equality in everything talking.
thats how we operate right now you fucking retard. we are currently experiencing a recruitment crisis and if we stopped recruiting women and got rid of the ones we had the military would become instantly non-functional. every removal of gender barriers to service was driven because of manning shortages and not because of the advocacy of equality. A technological force needs well educated volunteers interested in a career to be effective. There are not enough men interested in a military career to man the force. Women can do 90% of military jobs exactly the same as a man can. Ergo it is advantagous to have a mixed force. going to a draft will not solve this problem because a poor uneducated dumbass on a 2 year enlistment cannot operate networked weapon systems and it would take literally longer than his enlistment to teach him how.
And no one said they shouldn't be in the forces, but the fact is that they don't have the combat utility needed for frontline units, they failed the standard fitness tests even after the bar was lowered so they'd be able to pass. Infantry still have to march and run while carrying a full combat loadout, which women cannot and never will be able to do as effectively as men can, that's the undeniable truth.
You say it's irrational for a technologically advanced army to not have women in it, did you fucking forget that the Goa'uld don't hand out the fanciest of their toys to the rank and file? They conduct the Jaffa like a feudal army with better weapons. They're still wearing chainmail and plate for fuck's sake.
a fighter pilot is a front line unit. a CRUDES or SSN is a front line unit. a tank and an IFV is a front line unit. jaffa have enhanced strength and endurance like someone else pointed out. they dont carry gear, they move heavy shit like the sarcophagus around on anti gravity and they ride literal spaceships to get to where they are going, they dont march.
>a fighter pilot is a front line unit. a CRUDES or SSN is a front line unit. a tank and an IFV is a front line unit.
We're talking infantry, retard, and you know it. There are only so many vehicles, if you gave every enlisted women who fails the standard fitness test an aircraft or a tank, you'd have no infantry and a surplus of vehicle crews. It's also worth noting that even in damage control drills in the navy, women still fall short of the mark. You also need a great deal of physical fitness to be a pilot to deal with g forces, women fall short in that area too.
>jaffa have enhanced strength and endurance like someone else pointed out.
I pointed that out.
>they dont carry gear
They run around in chainmail and plate armour, which is a lot heavier than you think it is. Jaffa have enhanced physical fitness, but that still means that female jaffa are physically inferior to their male counterparts.
>they move heavy shit like the sarcophagus around on anti gravity
And yet we never see them use this for anything, so it's literally irrelevant
>and they ride literal spaceships to get to where they are going, they dont march.
If you actually watched the show, the faster ships that take hours to get where they're going is incredibly recent technology, before that, it was jaffa being marched through the gates if they weren't being transported by ship for actual months or years. They still have to march when it comes to occupying planets even with the faster ships.
What the fuck are you even trying to prove here? Women are physically inferior to men, this is a proven fact and you're working yourself up into an autistic tizzy trying to dance around it. If you're going for a "Ackshually, you can just put women in physically undemanding roles." Then that is literally not how any military works, fictional or not, and I dare you to provide a single fucking example. The closest example I can think of is the Soviets employing women as sniper units in WW2.
>If you're going for a "Ackshually, you can just put women in physically undemanding roles." Then that is literally not how any military works, fictional or not, and I dare you to provide a single fucking example
Israel.
Kek, okay I'll grant you that.
What do they actually do? Aside from plastering themselves half nude on online, I mean.
Live the high life on american taxpayer dollars I imagine.
I'd assume they do the office jobs. It's how it works here in Germany. There is lots of administration to be done and women are useless at anything else, so they get to sit in offices and do nothing all day.
so do they do nothing or do they do administration?
I barely see any difference between the two. They certainly don't warrant the same pay as actual soldiers.
im assuming those "actual soldiers" like getting paid so better hope those women are doing "administration" and not "nothing" or they will understand the difference real fast
Shooting at unarmed civilians is not a real military. You're retarded.
Mad arab of some variety detected.
Sit down, Abdul.
>were talking infantry
>nononononono only my specific thing counts!
ohoho changing the goal posts now? No, we are talking military force, learn to read.
citation needed on damage control and women pilots I am a naval aviator and you dont get your wings if you arent qualified and there are plenty of women pilots. plenty of my female sailors in repair lockers too.
I also pointed out jaffa are an irration army that use fucking staffs as ranged weapons which would be impossible to aim beyond a few meters.
Show 1 episode where jaffa go on a day long march, I dare you.
I think my points been well proven. you are grasping at straws out of some irrational dislike of women. If you had your way our military would be weaker and less capable. Example without even looking, been in the news recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Bauernschmidt#:~:text=Amy%20N.&text=She%20is%20the%20first%20woman,72)%20on%2019%20August%202021.
>and there are plenty of women pilots
And they're complete shit since women are unable to comprehend physics. Do we need to post that bottle experiment again? Where women are unable to comprehend how liquid inside of a container work?
you dont get your wings if you are shit. sorry lad but you are just objectively wrong.
Your wings mean nothing, westerner. The last time a real army existed was in 1945.
>a shitskin enters the thread
Women have menstruation. That alone is reason not to have them in any proper army.
men have to shit. this is reason to not have them in the army
Did you feel intelligent when you typed that out? Literally hylic midwit reply. have a nice day.
Oh look at that, a bunch of Jaffa getting ready to march. Your female counterparts are the ones who passed the tests by the way, they fail far more often than they pass, and this is even with the bar lowered, and aviation fitness requirements aren't as strict as infantry ones, but you should already know that. Hell, if you actually served, you'd know better than I how incompetent women in the forces are at physical tasks.
>standing in ceremonial ranks is a 12 hour march
the absolute state of the basement dwelling incel.
>Ceremonial
Kek, you don't even know what episode it's from. Not only did you lie about being a naval aviator, you don't even watch stargate, you're just a social justice warrior.
i see you are reduced to nothing but shrieking NOOOOOO
This
You've ruined a comfy thread with your feminist retardation. Fuck off.
I'm pretty sure if they had ships like these they had vehicles. We never seen tanks or APCs, but there's no way they didn't have them. Maybe because they'd be too big to fit through the gate? I don't think you could fit a Bradley through the gate, let alone an Abrams, although both would wreck Jaffa if they don't have counters. We do see them with turrets in one episode, and they can have an autocannon staff weapon analogue that Teal'c uses for a while.
Realistically, it's a budget thing.
That's what I thought, but they model ships frequently enough. Couldn't they cover a bulldozer with metal plates, add a turret with a staff cannon, and use CGI to make it hover?
Probably? But you have to remember that practical effects like that are far more expensive than short, entirely CG segments. Stargate's budget was already pretty small and they never really knew for sure which season would be their last.
I'm going to jump into this retarded conversation.
>And no one said they shouldn't be in the forces
The original comment that started this is
>Not having female troops is the rational thing
You motherfuckers are talking past each other and its getting tiring to read. Unless you want to autistically (and arbitrarily) hair split and only consider grunts and special forces "troops" theres nothing to argue about.
Jaffa armour seems to be decent against bullets. I don't remember if it protects against staff blasts. It would be more than enough to protect against arrows and spears when they're raiding primitive human worlds.
In the early seasons, Jaffa armor does well against hollow points and FMJ, but AP rounds go right through it. They never stood up well against Teal'c when he was using a staff weapon, one shot was usually enough to drop them. Oddly enough, it can take several to kill Teal'c himself even without armor.
Teal'c's son can also shrug off a staff blast to the back, it must run in the family
Not him but pretty much every armed branch across the world knows the vast majority women don't measure up to the vast majority of men because standard biological differences, whether that's reaction time, strength and general ability. It's huge. Right now the British Army is being sued because making women march unironically damages their hip bones, sexes developed differently Anon. Denying biological reality is retarded, it's impractical to have women as frontline troops but we do it because of progressivism. There's no job they can do a man can't do better when it comes to the military, basic standard evolutionary biology is not le heckin' hitler.
this game was supposed to come out 2022, its dead unfortunately
It's funny because this could very well be actual dialogue from the show.
I couldn't get through the whole series, I only got to like 5 or 6 and lost interest. It just doesn't grab me like other sci-fi does like good old Star Trek or Babylon 5.
To each its own
the expression is "to each their own"
Reminder that this episode exists
>it's a season 1 episode
it was hot dogshit but no worse than tng got in its first season
I just skip the bad episodes.
I like how Sci Fi was so kind to save everyone that trouble by just not airing that episode at all.
Reminder that it was written by the chick who wrote this episode of TNG, which is almost exactly the same
>Reminder that this episode exists
I honestly think one of the things killing TV is that tv shows arent allowed to have dogshit episodes in the first season anymore without everyone getting mad.
This, instead the entire show is dogshit from the onset, see DIS and PIC
Yeah, well, that's a consequence of having seasons that are only 6-10 episodes long and having them all heavily depend on each other. One bad one really kills the whole season.
I thought the episode was funny as fuck I don't get the hate. "Goofy feminist episode" that no one takes seriously is such a common tv scifi trope
This episode was fine, besides the whole gurl power stuff.
always thought stargate was a bit bland, plus after a couple seasons it really turns into one of those time wasting shows where nothing ever happens. but a game could still be cool, the original idea with ancient alien egyptian gods could be cool. what kind of game would it even be? fps? adventure?
>what kind of game would it even be? fps? adventure?
Team management sim. You recruit them from somewhere, train/etc them in your base and send them through the gate. Then the team eventually comes back if at least one guy survives and you get their after-action report.
I want XCOM Stargate edition!
Sex with Goa'uld (they're not inside anyone)
The modded Matrix and Stargate maps that were obligatory in literally every single early 2000s game were kino.
A KOTOR-like RPG set in the Stargate universe with the mountain base as a 'hub' would've been great, though.
There was supposed to be one for this game I used to play called tremulous, however the community died out before the map ever reached release.
Damn that Natural Selection clone? Used to fuck my gamma on my monitor up everytime I quit. Sick game though.
How come the gate never dematerialized the entire ramp every time the portal opened?
It's just too low.
The ramp was tilted
the "whoosh" (that's what it was litterally called) only came out in the center, and about 60% of the circles area. There's an episode where a dude stands in front of an opening gate, gets caught by the whoosh, and his smoking feet are left behind, so it's clear it hits about a 16 inches above the ground.
So ramps and floors where safe so long as they where installed correctly, which obviously the ancient designers of the things understood.

Man, why couldn't the US military just build some Asgard Exo-skeletons equipped with ballistic missiles and fully-automatic shotguns? We could've traded that shit for one of those beams that fucking deletes Goa'ulds and saved everybody a lot of trouble. You know damn well the American military industrial complex would be all over the idea of exporting weapons to other galaxies.
Seriously man, just imagine Thor inside one of these, mowing down replicators while screaming "I'M THE FUCKING GOD OF THUNDER, BITCH!"
Funnily enough, that's what the Vanir in Atlantis were. Unstoppable armoured juggernauts busting through walls and ceilings and ignoring all gunfire, but without the armour they were just Asgard of a different lineage, just as soft and fragile as their nicer cousins over at the Milky Way. If only the show had introduced and fleshed them out earlier.
They probably didn't do that thing you said because the image you posted is not real and is from a video game so it probably wouldn't get put into the tv show as something the government would want to sell to aliens
carter sex
best episode
For me, it's S10 E20 - "Unending".
The progression of their juggling always gets a chuckle out of me.
I only watched one episode of this show because I saw it mentioned on Ganker.
It was about how a black hole was absorbing a planet with a stargate on it, and it made Earth get sucked in as well so they needed to find a way to shut down the stargate.
The episode made 0 fucking sense scientifically but maybe I'm too autistic about it to enjoy it.
I get that, but the show was described as at least somewhat hard science.
The air force runs the stargates and they follow protocol and the soldiers follow combat tactics and the gear tries to be realistic and etc.
It was sold to me as at least a bit believable so that's why I got disappointed.
>but the show was described as at least somewhat hard science
I don't know where you got this idea.
it's sort of like in movies or TV when a ghost can pass through walls, yet is walking on the floor
it doesn't make sense, of course it doesn't. the point is for you to turn off the critical thinking portion of your brain and just enjoy the entertainment. all the sciency bullshit is just there as a prop.
(but you obviously already know this.)
>was described as at least somewhat hard science.
by fucking who lol.
it's not star wars I guess
It's accurate in terms of military. Not in terms of science.
its not accurate at all in terms of military they run around sending 4 man teams armed with fucking submachine guns with zero back up into the unknown.
a two star general can just call up the president and get him to change his mind whenever he feels like it, fucking unreal.
It's accurate when you view it through the lens of reconaissance. As for Hammond having a line to the president, there's obviously an extremely good reason for that, and he never uses it to change the president's mind, it's always to go over the heads of his superiors in rank. He's technically not supposed to be doing that, the red phone is for notifying the president of extreme emergencies, not as a get-out-shit-free card.
its also lol that the airforce is in charge of a program that is primarily ground reconnaissance and diplomacy. air force ground based forces are for targeting air strikes and of course SG teams have no access to air support. JTACs job is not to engage in combat nor are they particularly better at it than any other grunt. SEALS, Force Recon, or Rangers would make way more sense.
They do have marine units that go on missions in the SGC, it's just SG1 that's this weird flagship unit that doesn't play by the rules. O'neill's history isn't gone into too much, just that he's special ops with a history, but his skillset is pretty similar to air force pararescue units, and they are 100% suited for these kinds of missions.
>he thinks we have any actual idea how blackholes work and astronomy isnt an even bigger scam than astrology
The depiction of how things worked in that episode are 100% bullshit though.
From Ganker.
I think a story has to be consistent with the rules it has set out for itself.
So if it says magic is real then I accept it, but that doesn't mean ANYTHING goes.
>I think a story has to be consistent with the rules it has set out for itself.
SG-1 is.
It isn't for the previously mentioned example.
It is consistent with the rules it has established.
It's absolutely ridiculous you think you'd be able to judge that based off of seeing one episode.
You just prove that Ganker idiots are just that, idiots.
It's not consistent with basic physics was my point.
What do you mean?
You don't know what the rules of the show were.
>the rules it has established.
These are your words. You aren't talking about basic physics. The criticism you're opining isn't credible. People who actually watched the show are telling you that as far as the rules they set in this science fiction show they're pretty good at sticking to them. They don't asspull every time it's convenient like some other science fiction media.
Did you not read my post or what?
I just said that episode made no logical sense. No reason to sperg out about it. lol
>Did you not read my post or what?
I read every word and you are by far the dumbest poster in this thread. You're running your mouth about how the show isn't consistent with its own rules after watching 1 fucking episode as if you even know what the rules of the show are. Then when you're confronted with your clear ignorance about the show you back pedal and say you were actually talking about physics.
Shut the fuck up about the show if you're not going to watch it.
I explained pretty clearly that the game was described as a show that takes itself seriously and gets a lot of the stuff right.
I watched one episode that was blatantly wrong and nonsensical.
I pointed that out.
I never described myself as an expert on the show.
Are all SG fans as autistic as you?
that the show*
Oops.
>Are all SG fans as autistic as you?
No, but clearly you are, as you have already pointed out in your initial post:
>maybe I'm too autistic
Yes, you are autistic.
Seek help.
Goodbye.
Please calm down spergs.
You might have a leg to stand on if you didn't say this shit you fucking moron.
>the rules it has established.
Enough out of you.
>was described as a show that takes itself seriously
You were clearly tricked. It has serious moments and it stays consistent within it's own framework but it's also very goofy and that's part of the charm.
>No reason to sperg out about it. lol
Are you going to pull the "I was only pretending to be retarded" card now...?
As I said, you are of your element.
You made a nonsensical statement and get called out for it.
Now have some decency and admit to it or at least just walk away.
Your "point" is worthless and autistically stupid.
It's science fiction and makes completely perfect sense inside the show's universe.
Donny, you're out of your fucking element.
Your idea of what their rules were isn't exactly accurate, is it?
>I think a story has to be consistent with the rules it has set out for itself.
Literally impossible for a sci-fi show. Nobody can know how a universe in which e.g. teleportation works would function. It's impossible to be consistent unless you have a complete understanding of the fundamental physics of your universe, which we don't even have in our real one. It's also why the whole discussion in those portal threads is pointless. Just enjoy the sci-fi aspects like you would enjoy magic.
that's not a particularly interesting episode
then again, in these shows, you can tell how they have the budget for a couple of good adventures per season, and the rest is just "what bullshit can we spend time on using the 2 sets we have and maybe my backyard?"
base episodes were the worst, followed by "boring crime procedural on earth but teal'c is there and he's wearing a hoodie"
it's hard to recommend these shows, but I enjoyed the ride back then
my memory is hazy, but I think it got worse as time went on
I think there were more interesting off-world episodes early on
and the heists on gould spaceships/planets were a lot cooler when they were scrappy underdogs
I can see that.
I have the same opinion about Babylon 5. I watched the entire show and all the movies but I wouldn't really recommend it to people.
If you were watching stargate expecting hard scifi you weren't very well informed. Just watch it for the kino.
>The episode made 0 fucking sense scientifically
uhhh ackcgbyatully I meant
>I think a story has to be consistent with the rules it has set out for itself.
uhhh ackcgbyatully I meant
>It's not consistent with basic physics was my point.
fucking retard. filtered by stargate, ffs
Ok anon calm down.
The conversation is already over.
That's a meme episode anon
it's not a meme episode they play it seriously and even use the same gate address to kill apophis
I don't remember that, I thought it was the vax aliens
that's a different episode there's no black hole in it
What percentage of the show do non-meme episodes make?
Maybe 50%?
like 60% in early seasons then it reduces to like 10-15% down the line. the first two seasons literally have "recap" episodes that are just reshowing footage of earlier episodes to save money for a big finale which is hilarious to have in a season 1
Wait, that doesn't make sense. Do you mean the other way around?
that meme is ltierally how they finish off the series villian
It doesn't make any sense for stable point to point wormholes to be generated in rings of rock either, but you had no trouble suspending your disbelief for that.
The whole time dilation thing was exaggerated because it's a TV show, the real consequence would be that if the time dilation was that bad then the whole planet would be getting ripped apart by tidal forces already, but if you can ignore that one detail pretty much the whole rest of the episode is consistent and relatively scientifically accurate for a TV show.
Isn't the story that a star imploded and created that black hole but they somehow had no idea the star was gonna do that and also it didn't produce a supernova?
they dialed a gate that was caught in the event horizon of a black hole. the gate wouldnt shut down because time on the other side was basically frozen so the 38 minute rule didnt apply. the time dilation experienced from the warping of space time was used as a plot device with some non scientific modifications like it increasing over time and not instantly destroying earth for narrative purposes.
The increasing over time thing was supposed to be because the Stargate was getting closer to the hole. There were concerns that the gate could withstand the increasing effects for quite a lot longer than the Earth, if I recall correctly.
Yes but the black hole was not there from the beginning.
The premise was that the black hole appeared in the sky during their mission because a star exploded and created it, but the supernova somehow didn't affect them and the black hole just teleported next to the planet somehow.
I remember them having some stupid explanation for why the black hole planet was, you know, like that.

COLONEL O'NEIL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?!
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING!?
it's all so clear. some random person on Ganker said this was a hard sci fi show, and it wasn't. why did the show lie to us? why?
Not my favorite character.
Parker Louis will never lose. Not then, not now, not in the future. Not on an alien, yet very earth like planet.
He cannot lose.
Ever.
I met him at a fan convention. He spent most of the time drinking and hitting on female fans
He was just getting into the role as he was booted
From that point on I would've rather had him than the Daniel we ended up getting
I don't think they really figured out Jonas' role as a character so he kind of is just around. Like his backstory is being an alien scientist but SG1 already had a resident alien and scientist so that's nothing. There's the "I'm a quick study" bit to set up being the taking over as the human encyclopedia but nothing really comes of that so he's not even replacing the guy he's replacing. He unironically develops self-sacrificial tendencies because, in-universe, he can't justify why he should actually be out on the field. This is the most "something" he gets.
he was just there as a red herring to make you think daniel wasnt coming back.
but you see daniel interacting with o'neill right as soon as he ascends
that was the same episode. back in 2003 when season 6 aired and daniel was no where to be seen people actually thought he was written out of the series
Shanks also voices Thor, he wasn't removed entirely from the show, he was just brought back in for cameos, they paid him by the word. He came back full time because he realised he wasn't worth as much as he thought he was in the industry.
I like his attitude. He's always so positive and whenever he sees something that the rest of the team find mundane he gets so excited.
It's a shame they never brought him back. The Atlantis crew just disappeared as well, since they never got the film they were supposed to get. O'Neill was to get a film as well that I strongly suspect would've ended with him marrying Carter (Since that never actually went anywhere).
Any good modern sci-fi?
No. It's all been cannibalized by politics.
The Expanse was alright, though I stopped watching 2 or 3 seasons in. The best one before that, that I recall watching, was Almost Human. Still mad they cancelled that show after a single season
I cannot believe how hard they fucked that show up in season 5 holy shit
the first 2 or 3 seasons of the Expanse were decent, I can't really think of anything else right now and that's a bit sad. I'll also take a recommendation if someone has one
Fringe is a fun show
Fringe shit the bed in the last season
Well yeah, they were canceled and the whole last season was about quickly tying up the most important lingering mystery left.
That said it's pretty funny the alt universe just like vanished and became completely unimportant.
Battlestar
Yeah, the expanse was amazing until they apparently stopped giving a shit
I don't know if the source material just got worse, or if amazon screwed it up
still very easy to recommend at least the first season. keep watching if you care, stop when you don't
I'm planning on reading the books, but I'm giving it some time to start fresh
the source material was consistenly good, it's ESG bullshit that butchered the amazon adaptation
first season of altered carbon and first 3 seasons of expanse. both self contained stories.
I'm watching Westworld season 3&4
I'm really bored.
I gave up on that shit after season 1. They're clearly just making it up as they go along without any actual plan. I had enough of that kind of writing after Lost.
How did you make it that far? I found it mildly interesting until about most of.the way through season one, when they just started spoiling any of the interesting plot points. Those people don't know how to write.
Strange New Worlds is a mixed bag but it's watchable unlike all the other modern trek shows. Just skip the first ep, it's a fucking atrocious introduction to the show.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20242042/
Mando Kino. But /tGanker won't want to hear that.
Mandalorian is good but it's more fantasy than sci-fi.
Is the third season turning out decent like the first two? I've heard disappointment for Boba and Obi.
No idea. I'll wait until all episodes are out and binge watch it.
If you watched TCW, it's excellent. Seeing Mandalore again, on the aftermath of what the empire did to the planet, was amazing, excellent atmosphere. just watch episode 5 & 6 of Booba (though check out with a source other than me on the exact number of the episodes, but it should be these ones), where it became Mando season 2.5, as it explains what the Mando did in between season 2 and 3.
it will never cease to amuse me how creatively bankrupt boba fett was that they straight up made 1 of 6 episodes a full on mandalorian episode that had nothing to do with the rest of boba fett
>when the go'oald women start talking in that deep ass fake voice
Boner killer.
They've always spoken in deep ass voice when the symbiote took over since the beginning of the show, wtf are you smoking man?
I know, bro. But just because they've always done it doesn't mean my dick stays hard. Did you even read my post? I'm talking about my dick, bro. My dick.

>tfw no good stargate games
Cooper.. cooper. Two Coopers..
why do you guys only know him from stargate and never reference his perfect performance in twin peaks
This is literally, hands down, the MOST eloquent character in cinema. It is like he is a fallout character with 100 Speech. He always says the right thing and with such candor and sincerity.
I miss those all day SG1 marathons on the Sci-Fi Channel
I remember that dogshit Timecop show took its slot for the first few episodes, and then even the execs realized it was so utterly shit that they just swapped it to airing for a couple hours during midday and axed it after one season. The JCVD movie was alright, but by God was that show garbage.
Adam Baldwin and his team should have shown up more
Fuck them worm shits.
>oh no the poor little murderous baby worms
fucking women
It was more for Daniel's sake than for the symbiotes, he's not a professional soldier like she is, but doing shit like that can still have negative effects down the line. There's technically no rules of engagement, but they still abide by them for the most part because not doing so is how you become like the N.I.D.
>tfw you will never be a goold inside of her
those things are simply unreasonable.
her, t'pol, 7 of 9...
this is what letting progressives/women into entertainment (particularly sci-fi, which is aimed at dudes) has taken away from us.
it's depressing tbh.
Remember when SG-1 got their own 7of9, and then she was dropped after two episodes?
oh my god, i won't lie, i might have had a good wank or two over her.
it's the chick from weird science, right?
tits and campy sci fi go together too well to trust progs with the mantle.
upgrades is one of my favorite episodes
nothing will ever, EVER compare to the ST:enterprise episode with the orion slave girl dancing.
holy shit, i'm 40 (shut up) but god damn i was 13 again during that scene.

comTRAYA!
I can still fucking hear this, I haven't watch Stargate in over a decade. Weird what sticks with you.
>Shepard's eyes angle down just as the take ends
Sneaky
>actually logical military action produces results
i've always found it funny that goa'uld system lords have almost no equipment that counters earth ballistics and weaponry
sure shields and shit are on ships but the goold ground game is a fucking joke when put against earth artillery
There's also the scene where O' Neill and Carter demonstrate Earth guns over staff weapons to the rebel Jaffa
>This *indicates staff weapon* is a weapon of fear. it is made to terrify your enemy. This *holds up P90* is a weapon of war. It is made to KILL your enemy.
This , I feel like earth doing so well was sufficiently justified one the grounds that earth had more people, so faster potential research and that goold were more focused on just keeping order in their existing empire with no external threats.
i think also they were so used to dealing with energy weapons their defenses were adapted/specialized to counter them. sort of like soldiers of today don't have a ton of protection from a sword or club, because they don't routinely face them.
The System Lords were locked into eternal stagnant warfare out of fear. Every one of them wanted to be top dog and rule over the others but none of them wanted to develop new weapons or tactics, go on the offensive and lose it all to luck or treachery.
That and the more advanced their personal equipment was over the Jaffar the longer they could pretend they were really gods and not technology hoarding parasites.
We're they basically scavengers that used other race's tec? It's established a few times that there are big boy aliens out there that could easily shit all over them if they wanted.
unlike most shows they have a pretty reasonable explanation for that. the goa'ulds are just feudal lords who rule over primitive peasants using fear, awe and stolen technology. They rarely innovate and the only enemies they fight are each other, using the same technology and it's mostly ship vs ship battles (and their motherships are pretty decent unlike everything else).
>quietly dropped Zats disintegrating things with three shots
>now there's a plothole in the first time travel episode
I do not remember this for some reason, when did they drop that?
It's hard to say when it was made no longer canon, but in the Wormhole X-Treme episode they point out how shooting something 3 times to make it disintegrate is a stupid idea.
I thought it was just bodies that it disintegrated
Do shows still use blanks or is it all digital?
>P90
>Made to kill the enemy
oh i am laffing
In its time, yes.
You may shut up now.
I'm watching Stargate for the first time. Do the invisible guys ever come back? It seems like the show just forgot about them.
No, but the guns used to detect them are used a couple more times
Yeah. I just finished the episode where Nirrti comes back for Cassandra.
What did people think of SG Universe? I hated it, but maybe thats just me
It's shit, unfinished, and the comic ending was fucking shit too.
Hitler was neat I guess.
>and the comic ending was fucking shit too.
>Hitler was neat I guess.
What
There's a comic that finishes the story. It involves ancients being on board all along, just in cryosleep
Also, no one here knew Robert Carlyle outside of that one movie where he played Hitler so everyone just called him Hitler.
>Spoiler
Wouldn't they be, you know, old as shit because of how cryo works?
I honestly don't remember the whole plot, precisely because it was kinda shitty, but I think they just ignored the fact that you still age in cryosleep.
You've never watched Full Monty?
Not that guy, but I still haven't seen it.
I recognized him from Ravenous and Trainspotting.
I liked stargate universe. People don't remember it and exaggerate.
Gave it the three episode rule, and it was way too far into being a drama. I hear it gets better after the first season, but I'm not willing to suffer through that, and I'm too autistic to skip it.
First season especially is busy wringing drama out of the characters to get anything done. There's a couple of decent episodes, but mostly nothing substantial happens.
Season 2 starts off on a similar note, just a little lighter. The second half of season 2 is straight SG-1 tier sci-fi gold, and then the show ends on a bullshit cliffhanger. It could've gotten so good, had it gotten more seasons. Alternatively, it would've been so much easier to forget it had it been canned a season earlier.
Probably best I didn't watch it, that shit pisses me off to no end. Can't believe you get cliffhanger'd right when it starts getting good.
SGU's second season actually was coming together and could have led into some kino but they canned the show before they got a chance.
Syfy randomly changing the day the fucking thing aired without any notice certainly didn't help the ratings though
I liked it, mostly season 2 and it's a shame they dropped it. Most of the characters were shit though.
I disliked all the characters and only the scientist made up for his unlikeability with other qualities.
Remember when Carter slept with Caldwell?
>still no SG1 game in the XCOM style
sad
GOD
Stargate was good fucking shit. Too good.
How many times did Daniel die?
8?
Why did some dickhead senator even have any influence on a secret military organisation that would presumably only be under the president and joint chiefs?
The US political system is retarded
Pretty sure he explains it in the episode he's introduced, he found out about it and then basically blackmailed the Administration into letting him in on it because "the American public deserve to have oversight on such a dangerous, tax dollar consuming project".
Baal > Apophis > Replicators (forma machina) > Ori > Replicators (forma hermano) > Anubis
All the Goa'uld villains were pretty samey. I only remember Baal because of that one torture episode with the gravity going towards the wall. They mostly weren't really characters but just a narrative threat instead.
Jaffa do be kriing.
What was that other sci-fi show that was cancelled right after its final episode revealed it was a Stargate crossover the entire time?
Dark Matter?
Never watched this, was it good?
It's not terrible, but it's not great either. It also ends on a cliffhanger.
The little girl from Silent Hill was in this. She was less little.
She was also in Stargate
Wasn't there a theory that the two settings were connected?

Episodic content blows
Watching Teal'c manhandle people is so satisfying.
There was one in a later season episode, maybe 8 or 9, where they were chasing a guy and he just runs into a clothesline from Teal'c, made me laugh my ass off.
SGU was shit and flawed from the outset. There are a few good elements, like Rush and Greer, but overall the series is fucking terrible and cannot be salvaged.
*blocks your path*
Which to watch first?
SG-1, Babylon 5, or Farscape?
SG1 up to season 8, then farscape, then SG1's final seasons, then babylon 5
Farscape->Babylon 5->Stargate
This.
None of them are connected, so either whichever one appeals to you, or go by air date.
B5 is my favorite, then SG-1, then FarScape, but they're all absolutely fantastic and worth the watch.
comfy thread
>have Ben Browder
>have him play a different character
That's a good punchline
Is this worth following for a first time watch order?
You don't need to watch the movie
But he should anyways.
It's fine. People who have seen it all and are rewatching would probably not bother alternating SG-1 and Atlantis episodes, but for a first time watcher following this would align with the original watching order / airing date.
There are occasions where events in one show impact the other, so I still think it's worth alternating unless you just have zero interest in one of the shows.
It's fine. For maximum autism, here's the complete chronological order.

I've watched all the star trek formula shows like stargate, battlestar, etc but I've never watched star trek. Which series should I watch? Normally I would start from the beginning but I don't think I can make it through a show from the 60's.
>also chiana best girl
tng and ds9 are the only ones worth watching and easily the best of these kind of shows
TNG and if you like TNG go to DS9. Then the rest it doesn't matter. Also be aware that all the treks take 2 seasons to hit their stride and that the 1st 2 seasons can be hit or miss, so you might not immediately like it. also if you watch DS9 and decide you like it, watch Babylon 5.
Absolutely give the original series a shot. It's comfy.
TOS ranges from amazing to mediocre depending on the episode, but there are certainly some gems worth watching. TNG is overall pretty good as long as you skip season 1 (the Q episodes are still worth a watch though). DS9 is pretty much peak Trek, though it's a lot more somber and down-to-earth compared to the uplifting atmosphere of TOS and TNG, so be prepared for that. VOY is mediocre overall, with the episodes that revolve around the Doctor being the ones that stand out the most as good quality trek. ENT is a series that had lots of potential, but it was ruined by a bunch of bullshit having to do with the Temporal Cold War, only a few episodes out of the entire series are worth watching, and most of them are in Season 4.
I would also just pretend that any series released post-2009 under the Star Trek label doesn't exist or at the very least is not part of prime canon.
og twilight zone
Definitely TNG. Then give TOS a shot. If you don't like it, go to DS9. Then Voyager. Enterprise is mostly meh. Nu-Trek is a complete waste of time.
TNG/DS9 aren't worth missing out on if you enjoy Star Trek, DS9 falls off near the end because the writers went pants on head retarded but the majority of it is good. There's a reason Gul Dukat is remembered to this day and posted so often.
Protip: Gmod - Carters pack.
The gang's all hear
Here. I don't know why I wrote it like that.
>Its good to...make your acquaintance - Mr...Jackson..
Hammond of Texas?
Why was O'Neill so based?
Das racist!!!
Stargate threads on Ganker are always some of the best and most comfy threads.
bought this as a kid, because i loved stargate and its a fucking 3d tetris?
I miss Jonas.
I miss Tyler.
I swear this TV series was disclosure. All the Ganker & Q shit makes sense if you watch this show like it is a documentary. Once I took the wormpill everything made sense. We really are ruled by Archons that are involved with Alien/Worms which are actually manifestations of an alien race called demons from Orion/Saturn.
Close the iris!
Can you hear it? I can hear it.
FASTER!
Open the iris!
Thanks for the chalk. It was great. Very yummy mmm.
It's a little squashed.
Why is SG not popular as SW or ST?
the first 1 and a half seasons being "explore samey forest planet #312 with primitive earth culture of the week" make it hard to get into. Once they start opening the apeture with the asgard, the tok'ra, and seeing the working of the system lords and hinting at the ancients the show gets much more compelling
The sad thing is that stargate could probably never work as well as it does in mods for other games such as Gmod RP servers or minecraft. Those have dedicated fans working for free on-top of a framework of an already established game, and if they were to make a story-based game which would be dope it would cost too much for a shovelware game.
Procedurally-generated dungeons are all the rage nowadays, you could absolutely cram a series of encounters into a single planet. The biggest issue there is having wild enough writers to add a shitload of different stories, which games like FTL already manage well enough.
Too bad that godawful basebuilder that was on last NEXTfest is the closest we'll get to that, and it flubbed the concept on every level.
How many times did Daniel actually manage to achieve near-godhood?
Six
Was Andromeda any good?
yes but it never graduated from episodic story telling so there was never really a satisfying meta plot that could come together
Hey now, the SNES game was a solid 7/10, and had a great OST.
Literally just make an SG1 Xcom game, it's that easy.
Jagged Alliance had systems for training and equipping local peasants to fight against invaders. Plug that into the SG-1 setting and you've got a perfect game setup.
I wish Claudia Black did more voice acting. Her voice is sex and she was hot in SG1
There was like 3-4 years where she was in EVERYTHING at one point, and it got really tiring
>uncharted
>gears
>dragon age
>mass effect
Actually the Stargate iOS game did rather well, sir.
I said good stargate games
Stargate Worlds
We see a Goa'uld city when Sokar gets killed, so they do apparently
Indeed.
I'm still disappointed about Universe being canceled. Yeah, Atlantis fans were justified in being upset about Atlantis being rushed to a conclusion and Universe had a really obnoxious faction conflict focus for way too long but damnit there was a good idea and it had just found its stride.
Universe was dogshit
Universe was fucking gay. SG1 literally made fun of shows being younger, darker and edgier in episode 200, and Universe went ahead and did precisely that. I remember falling asleep when the first fucking episode premiered.
The post you replied very obviously described the show changing significantly before it was canceled, indicatiing that it started pretty bad and became something interesting (as happens to so many shows). It was no "darker and edgier" than a typical "dark and edgy" sequence of SG1 or Atlantis. It just didn't have a bunch of camp to contrast. You're just a "CHANGE BAD" gay. Or, to put it another way, a stupid sub-genre purist like fans of a band flipping around to shittalking them when they shift style STILL WITHIN THE SAME GENRE. There's a bunch of older sci-fi TV shows tonally like Universe without some fuckwit like you trying to paint the death of art.
every episode where teal'c says indeed or o'neill and daniel do their "danieeel... jaaack..." thing or hammond says goold or carter's love interest dies is a meme episode
>final movie
they should've just made two of them have a kid or something who would ultimately end up in an existential paradox after the windback rather than aging up tealc by like 70 years.
>Hammond is out, here's a blonde lady as the sgc boss
>after 1 episode she's a different actress
>after 1 more episode she disappears
lol
It's crazy they got the chief of staff of the air force on the show.
Some XCOM type of game where you have to manage base resources and expeditions could be pretty dope.
Stargate is the best isekai series in existence
Farscape is
Wait, what is that? Is that the AI episode?
It's episode 200
That guy with the hat has his eyes on the prize
What's the Stargate episode equivalent of Threshold?
stargate the movie
The Broca Divide. Although I suppose it's closer to the episode of TNG Genesis
>After visiting P3X-797, SG-1 discovers The Touched, a race of humans infected by a disease that seems to devolve them into animal-like creatures. To make matters worse, SG-1 inadvertently brings the disease back with them, where it rapidly spreads throughout Stargate Command.
Early access open world survival game. You are stranded on a planet and have to repair the Stargate and find ancient tech lying around. It's that easy to make a popular Stargate game.
Why did McKay hallucinate Carter only half naked?
He wanted into her gate room.
he knew he didnt deserve her
Anyone have a rewatch episode list? I might hit up SG-1 again after I get through X-Files.
the siege was a kino episode, it was all downhill from there
Ha'Tak ships are so cool
I like how they choose to use .50 cals to cover something 10 feet away.
You don't know what's going to come though, and they can shoot though the gate. If they sent a UAV through then they could probably designate targets on the other side.
>If they sent a UAV through then they could probably designate targets on the other side.
They actually do this a couple times.
with missiles. a M2 browning is notoriously innaccurate and dififcult to handle. There is no way to aim it based off a remote feed. In a confined space like the gate room it would be a huge danger to people and equipment from richochets and head space and timing would pevent them from even traversing it at all since they are so close. .240s would be better but realistically the entire defense force needs to be backed up and they should have installed actual purpose built fortifications for them to man.
The gun emplacements are pretty stupid, yeah, I don't even recall a single time they were actually used. Jonas has a vision about it one time I think.
You're right, the gate room is too small to properly defend and they have no cover at all. It would've been cool if they could flood it with gas; the animal helmets worn by guards seem to be sealed, but we never see regular Jaffa wearing respirators.
Why is there no Stargate-themed Battlefield clone?
Stargate: The Last Stand is outdated jank.
What is the IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD of Stargate
Retard kino coming through.
Lexx still has the single greatest piece of sci-fi technology ever, the ugly woman repurposing machine.
Well gentlemen, it's been a good thread. I'm glad I was here to enjoy it with you.
