    anybody into stargate?

    should i start at the beginning with sg-1, or skip to infinity, atlantis, or universe?

    • actually, infinity looks like a really bad cartoonscarabin
    • universe got lame... but to answer your initial Q... yes... watch it all :) Start with SG-1 (w/MacGyver)... it's a fun 'ancient aliens' ridePonyBoy
    • mehhhpango
    • it's campy 90's shit too... k... it's bad... fuck what I said before (watch it!)PonyBoy
    • cool. i loooved the movie, been wanting to check out the seriesesesscarabin
    • mostly i just dug the egyptian steez and wanted to fuck rascarabin
    • P90s that shoot lasers and really bad acting for the winterry_cloth
    • SG-1 is fucking brilliant. It gets better and better and then got shit when Jackson and O'Neil leave but that's not for like 12 seasons or somethingset
    • Stick with the hammy acting, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. The stories are excellent.set
    • don't know what happened with universe, it was a great idea but the episodes became more and more stupid.sted
    • cool, thanks!scarabin
    • I insisted we watch the movie the other week, after a load of arty/euro/subtitle films that were not my choice...detritus
    • ...I fell asleep after 20 minutes leaving her to watch the remainder, fuming, hahadetritus
    • (I've got nothing against arty/euro/subtitle films, i just like to balance them with [enjoyable] mindless Hollywood drivel)detritus
    • what set said :)
      I've watched SG1 in it's completion 4 times now... it really is that 'fun'... it gets very "Erich von Däniken" in terms of 'Aliens or Gods'

    • 'Universe' from the start was more about the humans on the show—personal social / sexual identity and relationships shit—far less sci fi...more soap opera zzzzPonyBoy
    • wow, that's some serious love for the show seeing as how it's 10 seasons!scarabin
    • i thought it was funny how the captain doctor made some comment about "mcgyvering" a solution in the first episode XDscarabin
    • Yea universe was more like the neverending cliff-hanger empirical bullshit of a lot of other more recent series. It was ok but SG-1 doesn't take...set
    • ...itself so seriously. It's an on-going story line but each episode has it's own contained story so you can just sit down and watch one and be satisfiedset
    • that's what i disliked about star trek: enterprise. the first season was mostly self-contained stories and then at some point they decided there needed to bescarabin
    • an overarching story and it all went downhill. with episodics i can bail if i don't like a story but still enjoy the seriesscarabin
    • I tried watching Atlantis, but I just couldn't get into it. So slow. The original movie rules tho.sea_sea
    • Atlantis will make sense if you watch SG1(and be much more enjoyable)... else I could see it being pretty hokey if you have only watched the orig. SG moviePonyBoy
    • Thanks pbj I'll try it that way.sea_sea
    • Atlantis was a comedy, Universe was great.i_monk
