OT: Stargate
 

How many of you have been watching Stargate SG1 over its seven year run?

Well if you have you know that this is the Last year that Stargate will be aired, and that a new Stargate Series is being developed.

SPOILER

Over the Last year they have been talking about the "Lost City," a city built by the ancients who originally constructed the Gate system. Who ever crontrols the Lost City will have unlimited power. At the moment only the SGC and the System Lord Anubus know of the City exsistance and are locked in a a deadly race to discover it.

Well I just discovered it.


SPOILER

The Sci Fi network ran an preview comerical for the new Stargate series, and in doing so inadvertantly revieled the location of the lost city.

Stargate Atlantis.

Man kinds great unknown treasure, is the lost city of Atlantis.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

That's interesting. I think you are right. I've heard for months they were developing Stargate: Atlantis as the next series, and I've followed the story arc lately about the search for the lost city of the ancients, but I didn't make the connection. It makes sense though.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I've been watching Stargate since it first began. However, I didn't know that they were ending this series, and beginning another. Does anyone know if the new series will have the same cast, or a different one?

Anyways, Stargate is definitely one of my favorite Sci-Fi shows, and I think it's only gotten better as time goes on.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

The new series will have a new cast, while SG-1 continues onto its' 8th season (i've seen conformitations for s8ep1 Online) AFAIK. There are a couple fansites that have this information (like SG-1 Archives )

I know that I am really looking forward to this seasons' finale. I'm watching it on Sky One, which is one week ahead of Sci Fi http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Hmm... you people with Sky One suck.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">atlantis? Atlantis?! ATLANTIS?!?!

atlantis is way to overused. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

*once again, Narf's on the forum are not as mad as they appear. mostly i did that for effect.*

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I think Stargate is a great series, although the channel that aires it in Finland sucks (they just finished 4th season). So I watch it by downloading them. I'm really waiting Stargate Atlantis, there's Robert Patrick in the premiere.

Oh, I just noticed that Atlantis will air July 16th 2004

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Fyron, there's always suprnova http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: Stargate
 

oh, i do like stargate. but >it< is way overused.

*>it< used to avoid spoilers*

Re: OT: Stargate
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes...they do...as all those with good tele-com (or whatever you call such things) services. I can barely get a working phone line in this dump...grumble grumble.

Stargate is ok...fun, if a little far fetched at times...there are too few good 'ol (yeeha!), scripted adventure shows these days.

A few questions/comments tho:

1. Why doesn't this thing star Kurt Russell or Patrick Swayze? I mean...how can ANY show succeed without them?

2. The show needs more jokes at the expense of Richard Dean Anderson. MacGyver is too good to pass up.

3. Does anyone else think that "Daniel Jackson" character is an annoying hippie-dork and in desperate need of a messy demise?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I just don't know how to answer that question without giving away a spoiler. Although here in Australia we are a season or two behind, so I assume most people who watch it know the answer.

http://www.scifi.com/atlantis/

It's a companion series not a replacement and SG-1 Cast will be making the occasional crossover into the show.

It says the adventures take place AFTER the SG-1 series and refers to jack O'niel as General O'niel so it sounds like this will take place a little into our future.
http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/s1/101.shtml only one guy looks like he's in modern uniform two of them

"SPOILERS POSSIBLE!"

I KNOW are aliens so they are wearing their own uniforms probobly and the one guy is just wearing an odd uniform so I dunno.

"SPOILER POSSIBLY"

They have a new enemy called the Wraiths I WANNA KNOW WHAT UP with the Goua'Ould?! They better not just leave the Goua'ould as a cliffhanger ending or some such because that would just piss me off http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif .

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I looked at the link. Daniel Jackson is in it?. Boy, is my information (or lack of it) out of date then.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I peek up from behind my lurking bush and scan this thread. I look to the left, then to the right and then face forward and say..

"Interesting,.. Verrrrrry Interesting"

Re: OT: Stargate
 

This is one of my favorite Sci-Fi shows to watch. This is excellent news, and a Mod based on them, well that would be outstanding. I had no idea this was in the works. Thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Stargate
 

It appears that Atlantis will take place in the not too distant future but in the future none the less because of the fact that some of the stuff I read that I wouldn't want to spoil for you guys.

I can deal with a story in the not too distant future as long as they keep the Goa'Ould in the story line since so far Anubis is far from falling and the System lords seem to be uniting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .

Re: OT: Stargate
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">They did one in the pilot. Major Carter was talking about some rig job they did hooking up the Stargate and she said they "MacGyvered it". I've been paying attention on the others, but if they've done any more I missed them.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I could be wrong about the location of the lost city, but man it just fits.

As for the 8th season, I have read, and heard two distinc stories on that one. So I am optomisic that we will get a season 8, but reserved to the fact that we may not.

What we all need to do is start our own Sci-Fi movie channel and produce sci-fi movies about the things we like.

Space Epires **
Staintless Steal Rat,
Tribes

Are the three I would produce.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Two stories? Hrm... i've only read a preview for s8e1, along with part of a spoiler. I don't know how official the spoiler is, however. I do hope that the episodes continue being as much fun as they are right now.


And i really think that the VP is going to get an ulcer if he continues worrying about the stargate that much. He's annoying. Maybe they should trade him to Anubis in exchange for peace?

As for the Atlantis storyline... this oughtta be interesting. I don't see who else they could be fighting at the same time... they're spread sortta thin as it is right now. SG-1's tactics resemble guerrila warfare right now, mostly because of a lack of just about everything.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I've been watching SG-1 almost from the beginning and have always enjoyed the "snips" the characters take at one another.

There was a big spread in the US TV Guide six? months ago about SG-1 and its spin-off SG-Atlantis.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Well the new enemy are called Wraiths that's all I know and if it takes place AFTER SG-1 the big question is how can you be running 1 story in the present and 1 in the future because you'd know how the war against the Goa'Ould ended???

Either that or we are gonna see some SERIOUS changes occuring the SG-1 storyarc to include the Atlantis base.

BTW Atlantis it is confirmed is a military base NOT as I've heard suggested a new SG team.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

a new base - sortta like another Cheyenne Mountain? (sp?)

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Heh it's a city that's in another galaxy on another planet with it's own inhabitants http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

So more like Cheyanne mountain on steroids.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

The reason that they can have 2 story lines going at the same time is that the NEW baddies are in the Pegasus Galaxy, not ours.

I wouldn't be supprised if after season 8 there are movies to keep the Goa'Ould going.

Randallw--Yes your a season or 2 behind, but don't worry you will see why/how Jackson comes back, it makes sense (to me anyways).

Looks like this new President has a good head on his shoulders.

Ohh, I only follow Star Gate a *cough* little. One of my moments of epiphanies was a few years ago. I had always chuckled at people that watched soap operas, but when I realized that Babaylon 5 and SG-1 where my addiction, I eralized that they were just like soap operas *sobs*

Re: OT: Stargate
 

How do they qualify as soap operas?

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I would guess they can be called soap operas because they have multi story arcs and characters and events in one episode turn up again in another episode, and you watch to see what happens to someone from a previous episode. Unlike "non-soap operas" where each episode is unconnected to a previous one except they have the same cast. I like Star Trek, but I have to admit at least with the old series the crew goes from planet to planet and nothing they did before has any relevance to later episodes. With NG you at least had the occasional "Worf" episode developing his character.

edit: second thought. Also with a soap opera you might miss a few episodes and when you watch it again the characters keep referring to something that changed the show, and you might think to yourself "hang on, did i miss something important?". Whereas a non-soap opera you miss a few episodes and come back and its like you didn't miss a thing. By the way I don't watch "soap operas" so I'm just going on what I think the term means.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

this my opinion of course, but I consider them in the same league as Soap Operas because I HAVE to see the next episode, I am addicted to the show its-self.

I had thought that Soap Operas were lame, that people that got into "the story" were a bit shallow to get into them, BUT here I was HOOKED on Babalon 5 and SG-1, I had to see next weeks episode, I was connected to the characters in a way that I had to honestly say that there were no difference between me and the Soap Opera watchers.

Perhaps my definition is not perferct, Randallw's was better. Are the soap opera shows the same as the sci-fi shows I mentioned, no they are different, it was just how I had looked at the shows that changed.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

In my mind a soap opera is defined by continuous, drastic and overcomplicated plot twists at the expense of the "good" literary devices your english teachers tried to get you to learn...

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I think of pro wrestling more as a "soap opera for boys" than SG-1.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

We had an episode of Futurama here a while ago. They were showing an ad for the Robot Soap opera "All my Circuits", out of about 5 plot twists 4 of them were. Amnesia, Amnesia, does anyone here not have Amnesia?, and "when i tell you this you may well have an attack of explosive amnesia". All I know about real soap operas is that if a season rates badly they just say someone was dreaming and they go back to the start. Also Last time I saw Days of our lives someone was possessed by the devil.

Edit: boy, is this thread getting off topic.

Hee...hee!!! Nothing like a good off-topic, off-topic thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes...it seems that they've been big on possession, witchcraft, aliens, and the like lately. Desperate for a little whiz-bang I guess...tho it's still the same ol' melodramatic, let's-stretch-one-episode-into-twelve routine.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Awesome! I guess I'll have to give the show another half star...or half thumb...or whatever.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Maybe 'Soap-Opera' is the wrong term for comparison. Personally I think we just all got sucked into the 'Cliffhanger' effect. Where we just got to know what happens in the next episode. Even though each episode is not directly linked like a true cliffhanger, our love for the characters gives it the same feeling.

hmmm, "Just one more episode,.." "Just one more turn,.." hmmm it looks like some of us carry our SE addiction into other realms of entertainment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Season 7 ending, it's like wow... one of the best endings. And now to the waiting of the season 8 and Stargate Atlantis... They are too far away :/

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I like Stargate too. But here in Belgium, they are not kind to any kind of science fiction show. They seems to buy it to fill air time and they reschedule it every so often. It really ticks me off. They did it with Voyager, Stargate, Buffy, Angel and other show. I HATE THEM.
Hehe, i feel better now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Here in Tasmania its not so bad with Stargate. The free to air channel showing it puts it on at a reasonable time like 7.30 or, it starts agin this week, 10.30. The other channel which shows Star Trek and showed Babylon 5 though doesn't appear to care much about sci fi. When a new program starts they usually have it in prime time, but by the second season its on at about 1 o'clock in the morning, and they aren't interested in keeping up to date. They still havn't shown the final season of Voyager and we have had Jeri Ryan on Boston public for 2 seasons.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

In the US network television seems to delight in creating a sci-fi show and then placing it opposite another sci-fi show on the same night, so that an already limited audience is split on which to watch (and keep going for another season).

Re: OT: Stargate
 

The great thing about stargate sg1 is that it is produced in Vancouver BC. That is only about an 8 hour drive from here.

It amazes me that they have come up with so many excellent stories over the years, and how each story often ties in with another one.

SPOILER

I am saddend at the death of Dr. Fraiser at the hands of the guled, but I guess that is to be expected at one point or another. The killing off of a popular character.

I would like to see more episodes with Jonus Quin (sp) in them even though he is back on his home world.

I recent bough season six on dvd and I have to say that there were many fine eposides in that season.

I do however feel the season finally should have been two hours long and had a lot more depth to it. Not really there fault as they thought the show was over.

I will enjoy the new stargate spin off and I hope that we get to see the Promethius again in both shows. For an ugly ship, it sure is beautifull.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

SPOILER DO NOT READ


I was right. Nuff said. (look at original post)

Re: OT: Stargate
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I missed how they got this ship. I wonder how they managed to get their hands in such an awesome ship. And they even have death-gliders now, when I remember rather clearly that O'neil and Teal'c almost got space-cooled the Last time they tried to fly one of those gliders.
Obviously, I have missed several episodes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Actually, all those ships, in the show, were built by the USAF. The X-302's were based of the death glider design - but are designed with thier own hyperspace drives, and the X-303 was an original build. There are several episodes covering the X-303's exploits.

Stargate Atlantis is based entirely off-world in another galaxy. There is a lot more information at http://www.gateworld.net/atlantis/index.shtml

Re: OT: Stargate
 

What about that ship, the Prometheus?
How they got it, who built it?

Re: OT: Stargate
 

The USAF built it. They got a bit of tech from the Asgard, and plenty of stuff stolen from the Goa'uld over the years to reverse engineer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

It's the episode with the Russian Gate and the Mini-Sub.
They know more about the US Star Gate program than SG1 can remember.
Waht a hoot, sheeeeeeeessssshhh.........

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Well we have had the season 8 premier of SG 1 and the new seires preimer of SG Atlantis. Both were good, with the SGA being really good.


S P O I L E R

I have to say the writing for this new show was very good. I especially enjoyed the conversation between the Wraith women/thing and Patric. Very spine chilling to say the least.

"You can go to hell!"
"Earth First."

SGA I think has a great cast and a very interesting idea. Although they did use a couple of my old ideas, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif great minds think alike, genetically coded controls, and mind activated equipment.

I wrote a story four or five years ago and posted it on the old TOP forum about a boy who finds a space ship that has been hidden on earth for sixty thousand years and despite all the humans that came near it, it only revieled itself to the boy because he had the "gene" that marked him as one of the decendants of the original crew. A concept that I was going to use in OUTS. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif The second was to think of doing something and the controls respond. Ohhhhh I often wonder why it is that my ideas are shared by so many. Over population I guess, with more people, fewer original ideas.

Needless to say, it was a good premier.

Re: OT: Stargate
 

I really enjoyed SGA, I think it will be a promising series. The only problem I had with it is that they didn't bring a nuke. In the movie, when they were jumping into the far unkown, they brought the nuke. But if they brought the nuke and nuked the alien ship I guess there wouldn't be much of a series would there. Lesson learned: always bring your nukes =)

Re: OT: Stargate
 

Hey AT, what channel did you watch it on, and do you know when they'll be on again?? I haven't seen them yet, and really want to! Then again, the channels will probably be different in the US and Canada...

Re: OT: Stargate
 

The premiere episode of Stargate Atlantis in Canada will air this comming Monday on the Movie Network.
