Yes, it's one of the best sci fi shows ever made.

Yeah, give it a whirl! (you'll get this reference once you watch it)
>zesty
This is one of the worst memes ever. Also, yes. The issue I have with the show is the clip show episodes. A few are OK like the POTUS being explained who SG1 are and shit, that at least makes sense. I know they HAD to because so many people were coming in and going 'what's going on?' but still.
Hate to be that guy, but...
>Ackchyually...
The clip shows were made for budget reasons. The money they saved doing a clip episode, they then spent on the season final.

Yes, it's kino. Do not watch this if you're a vaxxie though, it's gonna buckbreak you mentally

Don't listen to the bots. It's safe.
>wtf are you taking about
Two episodes dealing with a people called the Achen
s4e16 "2010"
>Alternate Future Episode set in the year 2010 (broadcast in January 2001)
>It's been 10 years since Earth made an alliance with a people called the Achen
>The Achen helped us win the war against the series big bad, the Goa'uld
>Earth is now full of super-tech, like teleporters for fast travel around the planet, and the Stargate is in a central public terminal for public off world travel
>The Achen are also helping Earth to turn Jupiter into a sun, so that Earth will be able to double agricultural production with year round growing
>One of the main characters Samantha Carter is trying to have a baby, but hasn't been able to conceive
>Her Achen doctor tells her there's nothing wrong with her or her husband and to just keep trying
>She mentions this to her friend, Dr. Janet Fraiser, who is/was the main doctor at Stargate Command in the present day/main timeline
>They discover that Sam is actually infertile
>They hack into an Achen computer network and discover data that shows that more then 91% of Earths population are infertile
>They realize that the Achen are doing this as part of a long term plan to conquer and take over and Earth
>Sam reveals this to her husband
>Her husband, who is the Earth Ambassador to the Achen, reveals that he (and world leaders) know the Achen have been messing with Earth's fertility, via vaccines, medicines and anti-aging treatments produced by the Achen
>The Achen claimed they were only doing it to 1/4 of the population and that it was to stop overpopulation
>The team realize they can't stop it, but they can change the past
>They manage to use the Stargate to send a warning back in time, to shortly before they met Achen, telling them not to dial the gate address of the Achen homeworld
>In the past/present day, Stargate Command receives the warning and puts a lock on dialing the Achen homeworld's address
s5e10 "2001"
>Set in the present day (broadcast in August 2001)
>SG-1, visit a planet of simple farmers
>The Farmers introduce them to their allies from another planet, the Achen
>SG-1, who are unaware of the true nature of the Achen begin to negotiate an alliance with them
>The SGC realizes that there's a high likelihood that the Achen homeworld is the gate address they were warned about
>SG-1 is instructed to subtly investigate the Achen, just in case
>Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c talk to one of the farmers that introduced them to the Achen
>He says the Achen have always been friendly and helpful, since before he was born
>It's also revealed (at an earlier point in the episode) that the Achen turned a gas giant in the farmer's planet's star system into a second star, to double their growing seasons
>Most of the food is shipped off world to fed the Achen, as part of a "trade deal"
>The farmer asks if Jackson and Teal'c could help him remove some old scrap metal from one of his fields, because the Achen haven't gotten around to it
>They use C4 to blow it up
>In doing so, they open up an underground cavern, which they proceed to investigate
>They find the ruins of a city
>None of the farmers they've spoken to ever mentioned cities...
>They find a series of newspapers from different points in time and partially translate them
>The earliest mentions the coming of the Achen
>The second mentions a sickness that's spreading through out the world
>The third mentions riots after the discovery that the vaccine for the sickness, that was developed by the Achen, causes... something
>Daniel isn't able to translate the word, but has a theory what it may be
>He asks Sam, who is part of the negotiations to ask the Achen what it means
>The word translates to "Sterility"
>Achen realize their jig is up and try to virus bomb Earth
>The Earth Ambassador (Sam's alt future husband) sacrifices his life so that SG-1 can escape
tl;dr - The Achen render the populations of planets infertile with vaccines and medications that they claim are to help cure sickness and disease. They they turn what remains of the population into unknowing slaves to grow food for them.
There was one ep toward the beginning with that one lady in prison who killed whole planets with her "vaccine".
Not quite.
You're thinking of s2e3 'Prisoners' and s3e11 'Past and Present'
In Prisoners, SG-1 are sent to an alien prison and meet a woman, named Linea, who is feared by all the other prisoners. Linea is a scientist and claims that she tried to cure a plague on her homeworld, but the cure mutated and killed more people and she was punished for her mistake. SG-1 then manages to escape the prison with her help and take her with them. Another prisoner, who also escaped with them reveals that Linea is actually an evil mad scientist and the vaccine story was bullshit. She had created and released the original plague on her homeworld, just to see what would happened and then she did it on other worlds. At the end of the episode, Linea escapes out into the galaxy.
In Past and Present, SG-1 find a world were everyone is suffering from amnesia and can't remember anything from more then a year ago and there are no kids or old people. SG-1 offers to help them and in doing so, discover the Linea had visited the world shortly before whatever caused the amnesia. They discover that a pesticide the planet had been using for years had built up in the planets food chain and caused the human population to become sterile (which is why there was no kids). Linea had then come along and while studying the pesticide, discovered that it could be used to stop and even reverse aging. While experimenting with it, there was an accident in her lab and she accidentally released a cloud of gas into the atmosphere that caused the entire population (herself included) to not only regress in age, but also develop amnesia.
>SG-1 then manages to escape the prison with her help
by generating power for the gate through some chemical process using her plants
>had created and released the original plague on her homeworld, just to see what would happen
where have i heard that one before..
Don't they trigger a supernova or something too to destroy an entire planet?
You might be thinking of that episode of Farscape.
post yfw a gate you're standing in front of suddenly does this
>when there's no dial sequence
In coming wormholes don't have dial sequence...
...unless it's the opening of the episode and they're starting off with the stargate off screen, but need you to know there's an incoming wormhole.
zesty af
it's pretty much the only show that Cinemaphile loves unanimously, that should tell you something
Frick i miss him, the show and my fricking youth!!!
Frick this life
It’s too quirky for me so I just pretend to like it instead of actually watching
I feel like almost none of the particular episodes are good in and of themselves, yet it still manages to be decent overall.
My favorites are the black hole one, the Colonel getting marooned with that milf after that asteroid shower, the one where the Colonel quits to join the CID artifact retrieval team, and the two that buckbreak vaxxies.
>My favorites are the black hole one
FRICKING BASED YES.
Also the one with the kid & invisible alien invaders. And the one with OnNell getting stabbed in shoulder by angry orb.
>the black hole one
That one was really good and scary.
>two that buckbreak vaxxies.
what episode and season?
See
and
>And I vaguely remember the one where they have to censor a reporter who knows too much
There were two.
One in season 2 where a reporter approaches Col. O'Neill and reveals he knows about the Stargate. O'Neill then reports it to his superiors and is sent to try and sus out where the reporter is getting his information from. While meeting with the reporter, the reporter is hit by a car in a hit and run, and before he dies accuses Jack of setting up the hit and run. O'Neill suspects the hit and run may have been orchestrated by the government, but is told that it was an accident.
Second episode is in season 6, where another reporter approaches Maj. Carter about something called 'The Prometheus Project'. The Government decides to allow the reporter and her show access to the 'The Prometheus Project' on the agreement that the story won't be made public until the Government choices to make it public, at which point the reporter/her show/network will have the exclusive story. 'The Prometheus Project' turns out to be Earths first starship/space battleship (the x-303 aka the 'USS Prometheus') and then the reporters camera crew take everyone hostage and it's revealed the reporter was a patsy in a plot by the NID (a shady Government agency) to take control of the Prometheus.
The reporter appears again in a later season, after some rich guy (played by the rich guy in the Nanny) somehow got his hands on Asgard (alien) DNA and made an Asgard clone and tries to reveal the government has had secret dealings with aliens. The reporter is used to discredit him, by having Carter on her show, who shows off "newly developed hologram technology" (actually just Asgard hologram tech) to recreate the Asgard.
Season final of season 4, they lure the big bad Apophis to barren, uninhabited star system and then blow up the sun, by throwing a stargate connected to a black hole (
) into it.
>Only a couple good episodes
The ending is really underrated. The Asgard choosing humanity as the successors to their mantle is the culmination of ten years of galactic good deeds showing that we have the grit to prevail against enemies who badly outclass us, the intelligence to rapidly develop and close that power gap, and, most importantly, an unmatched affinity for fostering alliances instead of dominating our galactic neighbors. Anyway, I'm sorry but that's just how I happen to feel about it. What do you think, Jack?
Haven't watched SG-1 in a while. Why do people meme about that line again? What was the context in the show?
Groundhog day. 10 hours on loop for months and it always starts with him finishing that sentence.
kino
Why don't we take a sec to appreciate the real SG-1 whom they're based off of?
Is this an AI image?
No.
And I vaguely remember the one where they have to censor a reporter who knows too much, and of course the wormhole extreme episode.
>the two that buckbreak vaxxies
Those episodes were scary.
Carter looks like shit
yes
>Also, who's that zesty buck with the gold shit on his forehead?
that's the nig who does the acting for kratos in the new onions of war games
No. Sage.
It's a henna tattoo that represents the circle of life and the wheel of morality.
How about Atlantis, does it have memorable episodes like SG1?
I'm 2/3 into season 2 and while it's enjoyable, I'm mostly watching for picrel.
>does it have memorable episodes
The most memorable for me is also super early: the one where they get stuck in a gate
SGA is better than sg1
Atlantis is not very good from what I’ve seen. SG1 was carried by the cast, that’s why it starts to suck after richard anderson and don davis leave. The atlantis cast was weak from the start
As somebody who has not seen the show(s) and has only popped into these threads out of curiosity I believe that is a Jaffa or its name is Jaffa.
Yes.
The mark of being the top underling of his previous boss.
I dont think the music gets praised enough it is so uplifting and magical.
Ark of Truth has great music.
It's a shame that we will never get a complete soundtrack of all his work on each show.
The synth stuff he did on SGU was really good.
>WHOO WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP!
That'll be 95 dollars.
It's mostly bad. You won't understand it outside the context of 90s scifi/fantasy shows.
You need to give it a lot of leverage and most of the concepts will be done better elsewhere.
It's comfy to men in the same way that police procedural shows like crime Scene: Scene of the Crime Las Vegas Semen Victims Unit is to women.
What Malcolm Gladwell would call a northern show, a system working about as it should.
Fun fact, apparently at the height of it's popularity, the biggest viewing demographic was middle aged women.
>You won't understand it outside the context of 90s scifi/fantasy shows.
Lmao what? Its an eposodic light hearted TV show about a magic space ring that sends them off to distant planet its very fricking easy to follow. Dont listen to this moron if your considering watching it.
Yeah exactly. It isn't "worth" watching. It won't give you great writing or profound ideas. You have to accept it as an entertainment show that tickles the same interests as you presumably have.
If you accept it at that it can be entertaining.
Name 5 “profound” television shows. I’ll wait.
Chernobyl, Band of Brothers, Mash, Twilight Zone, that intelligence agency show they took of the air for exposing nsa secrets
>intelligence agency show they took of the air for exposing nsa secrets
I'm listening.
let me check if i find the name
It absolutely does give profound ideas.
The Aschen episodes
The episode where people are linked by neuralink and get regularly retconned with updates
Episodes with tight-lipped Tollans and why they're not wont to share information
Multiple times Stargate crew have gone native
>Episodes with tight-lipped Tollans and why they're not wont to share information
>tfw as a child you thought they were shit but as an adult you appreciate their opinions and perspective
I'm sorry I disagreed with Omac.
>Episodes with tight-lipped Tollans and why they're not wont to share information
While I get why Jigsaw didn't trust Earth in our first meeting with the Tollan, I always thought the whole not sharing tech with us was nothing more then some arrogant moronic bullshit.
Fair enough not wanting to give us super advanced weapons. But surely there were other tech they could have given us. Surely they could have done other things. Like look at the Tollan that had a crush on Carter. In the episode where we first meet them and take them back to the SGC, he can't work out how to use a blanket, because Tollan beds automatically adjust themselves to the perfect temperature. Why not share that tech with us? Surely there's other tech they could have share with us, perhaps even tech that they considered outdated, but was still advanced to us.
Honestly I wonder if they thought about it and realised that humanity might well turn it into a weapon, outdated or no.
Like every 90s sci-fi show, it starts slow. Of the first five episodes, two of them are among the worst in the entire series.
It gets amazing later on though. It's worth it.
>just got to the episode where Tealc says KEK
Yes. Stop at the end of S8, though.
S8 is worse than 9 and 10, fight me
I don't fight morons.
S8
>RDA phoning it in
>lots of uninspired political stories
>feels like a directionless rotting carcass
S9/10
>fresh new main character
>new villains, new threats
>sexy alien chick
S9/10
>shit
>almost like it's not stargate anymore but a farscape universe because scifi was too cheap to renew
>it's still shit
SG1 had a fine ending with them fishing at the pond. After that they just retread storylines with different characters. The one TV movie is literally just the final episodes of S8 redone.
And the ori themselves are literally the goa'uld redone.
The introduction of a strange new destination filled with ancient advanced aliens masquerading as gods. Possession, glowing eyes, funny voices etc. it's all the same, though to be fair they only used it with a single individual this time around.
S7 had the perfect ending, Jack sacrifices himself to save Earth, that's it.
Fat RDA waddling around trying to hide his gut and acting bored out of his skull is just insultingly bad. S8 is just a waste, the Orishit would have been better with another season of build up, introducing new characters gradually instead of dumping 4 new people (Landry, Dr Hapa and Farscapers) all at once. I don't think they even had a doctor again until S9.
>S7 had the perfect ending, Jack sacrifices himself to save Earth, that's it.
How did they bring Jack back from the stasis pod?
Same why they fixed it the first time, the Asgard did it.
Thor beamed him up to his ship, connected his mind to their ships computer, then removed the Ancient knowledge from it, so that he could wake up again.
kek you got absolutely btfo by
I watched it for the first time this year
It's pretty good, but stop at the end of Season 7, then watch Continuum.
thoughts on Jonas Quinn?
Didn't like him much back when the show was airing but on rewatches he's based and I wish we'd had more of him
>its a tealc dies episode
>who's that zesty buck with the gold shit on his forehead?
B O Y
That is Kratos
They did this guy dirty
well he was slightly annoying so he deserved it
Very antisemitic of them
>supposedly daniel's friend
>daniel does not learn he died
>never mentioned again
Nope. It's so boring, so so very boring, but it gets propped up because the CIA had to do some soft disclosure for their bosses "magic"[k] trick to work.
>oy vey see we told you goyim fair an square heh heh heh heh
GOOLD?
>zesty buck
I dont understand how in episode 1 the goould who came through the gate are bullet proof but but after that human weapons seem to work just fine to take them out
There are always ideas and things that get shifted or dropped from a pilot episode, remember the nude stuff? never happened again.
Cause they changed networks.
>remember the nude stuff? never happened again
What a missed opportunity
iirc they changed munitions to more armor piercing rounds after their first few encounters, I think it's mentioned off hand in S1 or S2
In season 4 O'Neill suggests and then they switch to the P90 and armor piercing rounds after Daniel gets taken by Chaka the Unas
>Daniel gets taken by Chaka the Unas
>WELLLLLL I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THAT TAU'RI STUFF BUT WELLLLLLLLLLLL I'M A P3X-888 BOY, AND DOWN HERE WE BREAK UNAS A BIT DIFFERENTLY!
Desperate Measures and 48hrs from fifth season are among the best eps of tv ever made
