Re: Happy Xmas
This thread's popularity seems to be rising. I figured that, by replying to it, will increase my own. :crazyxmas:
So even though it's a bit early and I am not in the christmas mood, I would like to wish everyone a merry christmas and also a happy new year since I'm at it now. :xmasgrin:

W00t! Those shows rock! Stargate Atlantis isn't as good as SG-1, though, and doesn't have as particularly cool a theme tune, either. Make it better!

Re: Happy Xmas
The show is über skill, and from the credits for them it seems that a lot are written by the actors (like a lot of the Rebel Jaffa episodes in SG-1 are by Christopher Judge).

Re: Happy Xmas
Yer, it started recently. I'm not a fan myself.. I haven't really been a fan of SG-1 after the first few years. I've watched it, just they started to lack something as the seasons went on.

Re: Happy Xmas
Well thats a matter of opinion as far as I see my would be one along lines of follwoing more. The newer series of stargate SG1 are losing focus. The idea for the series as a follow on for the movies plot, though that of course doesnt take much to work out. The furrther along they have gone though the further it seems they have gone from the ideas that made stargate good the possibilites it made you think about that where not compelty implausible.
As far as the direction of the new series is are going it seems as though in an effort to extend it the plot is getting more and more ridiculus with each season. Not that far fetched plots and unknown possibiltes dont appeal to me but there are more than enough sci fi series out there with such notions to satisfy anyone. What had orignally attracted me to the stargate film and series was the fact it was not set in the far distant future or neither where the situations encountered within it all that unreal.
Instead now it seems to have developed into a rather stagnant plot hole and is trying to change its image to much from what made it diffrent to begin with. I cannot really blame the writters for this current situation though as I am well aware that we all need jobs to survive upon sadly, and they are just hired by the production company or through someother methods to develop these stories. In some cases I commend them in the fact that there is still some originalty within some of the episodes I have seen from more current seasons, I see more of it as the studios inability to accept that there comes atime when a show must end in order to keep it good and memrable.
Instead it seems that they have seen fit to try and expand upon the idea and transplant it within a new series aka stargate atlantis, that follows the adventures of a new group of explorers within a new sector of space. As these things develop of course they come across a powerfull malevolent alien speices hell bent on conquering anyone that is not like them. From the way I see this and from watching the show up to season one finale found nothing new or fresh within them. Rather it seems simply that plots from the orignal SG1 have been altered and bluntly put into place into a new host.
Some amy think I have not seen enough of series to really be fully justified, but I have watched both series from start to finish baring new ones that have yet to come out. From the point of view I see them there is a slow degrading aura about them that simply means the show has slowly been falling out of my favour when the plots started getting rather enstranged and cliche.

Re: Happy Xmas
IMHO, Stargate Atlantis is poor. There is nothing to get your hopes up, no surprises, the characters are mediocre and they never have any problems. To top it off, the theme tune is annoying and boring, whereas the SG-1 music is always quite good.

Re: Happy Christmas
Atlantis needs to be less like Voyager, as a GDer put it some time ago. However I can't let you knock the theme, at least not the "Eei-aayh-yu-aaae" bar of it, very nice. However Major Shepard needs to loose the O'Niell sense of humor, and they need more Dr.McKay, for he is a key instrument to the win.
I'd hardly call the plot farfetched, not in the technological sense, Sam and Rodney keep the laws of physics in check at any rate and for the most part the earthlings have very little access to magic like technology. While the majority of the enemies they face have been built up across seasons, not simply "and then a more powerful enemy attacked"... anyway, in conclusion, SG-1 season 1 and 2 box sets arrived in the post this morning, CHRISTMAS IS MINE!!! all of it !!!

Deepspace 9
Stargate SG1 - more recently
Stargate Atlantis - more recently
Hercules the legendary Journies
Xena - Warrior Princess
(again most of my work went to these two shows)
Sinbad
1 off shows
New Series of Twilight Zone
Outer Limits (was quite lucky with these shows)
so there you go - you can look closely at any of these shows but you will not see my name in lights cause the shows by me scripts of me and then they modify them to fit the actors who they wat to star in them.

Re: Happy Xmas
Galactica is the only sci fi series I've watched since, well, ever. It's good stuff. After that I also started watching Firefly, which my parents seem to have on DVD. Also good stuff. Stargate I was never really too keen on.

Re: Happy Xmas
Stargate Atlantis - Beginning was so-so to me, yet the series as a whole is warming up to me. And the intro, damnit, I actually liked it from the begining.
Stargate SG-1 - So far it has not "jumped-the-shark" in my opinion, a miricle considering how long it's been on the air.
New Battlestar Galatica Series - What, I'm a dirty American, of course I haven't seen them cause they don't air till January here.
*Quickly shuts down bittorrent while whistling.*
But from what I "heard", well-done so far. Of course, there is the issue of the obvious NEC monitor onboard galatica in some of the episodes, with the label clearly visible . For some reason I don't think that they have a trade arrangement with Earth for LCD monitors considering they don't know the location.

Re: Happy Xmas
I adored Farscape, but i missed two episodes so that the whole storyline made no sense from then on in (seriously, so much happened in each episode which would then be vital for the continuing story)

Re: Happy Xmas
Ahh Christmas time... the over commercialisation (hope I spelt that right) of what was once a religious holiday to the point where most of day time television gets reduced to toy adverts, you can buy absolutely everything you need for christmas by the end of november, when even the christmas specials tv specials are repeats, your internet connection grinds to a halt because every so and so now shopping online, going out becomes an exercise in escape evasion and survival techniques as you dodge numerous mindless zombies both on the roads and in the shops, when doing anything even vaguely near any retail outlet or high street means sweating to death in a packed shop in a 15min queue, the pubs are usually full and getting to and from them involves freezing half to death.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Re: Happy Xmas
The food is fine as long as you don't have to be the one to go into the shop and buy it... If you are it might be a good idea to fit ramming spikes to your trolley, and wear a big heavy set of steel toe caps for booting small children out of the way...
Anyway it's not about the food at all... the booze is far better
BTW Wraith don't worry your safe, they never show Star Trek round Christmas time... It's usually star wars
/me starts planning post involving super powerful electro-magnet, death star and wraith...

Re: Happy Xmas
I completly agree about how X-mas has become a feeding frenzy for our cultures to spend vast amounts of money on gifts most of the time people will never use (Myself, I always ask for gift-cards/SPECIFIC items, don't trust people to give me good stuff :-P).
And for the record: I HATE the fact that the only Star Wars DVD's out there are the special editions. I miss the originals (DAMN YOU George Lucas for changing Boba Fett's voice in the old trilogy)

I must say, atlantis does seem a bit like watching old episodes of SG1, without the acting skills.

Funny, I haven't had that problem anymore since I got bigger. People just move aside for me without me having to ask for anything. I guess they just recognise superiority when they see it. Well, either it's got something to do with my natural facial expression being one that radiates "blink at me in a funny way and I'll rip your head off" along with the body that suggests i might actually be able to pull it off, but nah, I choose to believe it's former. I'm really a very nice guy. :xmas: (Or so claim the survivors...)
As for buying all the food, I don't care about that. It's the one that has to prepare it that's off a lot worse.

Funny, I haven't had that problem anymore since I got bigger. People just move aside for me without me having to ask for anything. I guess they just recognise superiority when they see it. Well, either it's got something to do with my natural facial expression being one that radiates "blink at me in a funny way and I'll rip your head off" along with the body that suggests i might actually be able to pull it off, but nah, I choose to believe it's former. I'm really a very nice guy. :xmas: (Or so claim the survivors...)
As for buying all the food, I don't care about that. It's the one that has to prepare it that's off a lot worse.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
