With all the posts about #StargateSG1 I decided to take the plunge. Started by re-watching the original movie starring James Spader & Kurt Russell. I had forgotten a lot of it. The last 1/3 of the flick is forgettable but the entire world building/discovery is compelling. The pilot of SG-1 picks up a year after the events of the film & so far I like it. Richard Dean Anderson as Russell’s character is interesting. He’s now the alpha male instead of the nerd (Macgyver), interesting role reversal

There’s a line in the pilot where Carter says something about MacGyvering the Stargate and Dean Anderson rolls his eyes. I actually laughed out loud. That’s a good sign that it won’t take itself TOO seriously.

Quite enjoyed the 2-part pilot of #StargateSG1. Looking forward to watching more. Stargate was always one of Corey’s favorite shows, along with Babylon 5. He was always trying to get me to watch it but I never found the time. Maybe now I will.Kind of exciting not to know every little thing about a sci-fi franchise, not knowing where it will go, etc. Don’t quite understand the logistics of how the gate works exactly but I suppose that’ll come over time.

The second episode of #StargateSG1 was very good. I already really like General Hammond a lot.

Watching #StargateSG1 has been very fun so far. About 10 episodes in and every story has been quite compelling. Surprising amounts of character development too in such a short time. I also love that the SG team isn’t bound by something like the Prime Directive from #StarTrek. They just charge in and do what they need to do. Sometimes that bites them of course but in general the characters have no problems interacting and also interfering with the gate locals. It’s fascinating/refreshing.

Watching #StargateSG1 S1 E10 The Torment of Tantalus - Voted the best episode of season 1 by Gateworld, I’m about 1/2 through and it’s pretty great. Breaking for the Apple Event. Will return soon and finish it!

Just finished #StargateSG1 E14 - Singularity. Holy cow this show. It packs some real emotional punches, I tell you. Amanda Tapping as Captain Carter is just wonderful, her character is growing on me like Stargate moss.

#StargateSG1 S1 E16 - Enigma and I’ve arrived at what I assume is the first of *many* call back episodes. There are now enough stories and world building that the writers can draw on them to return to familar characters and places. This was another great episode that strengthened my love for both General Hammond and Sam Carter. “You’re a good man, General.”Yep, O’Neill, he sure is.

Holy cow S1 E17 - Solitudes of #StargateSG1 was good. And wow, that clever ending! The writing on this series is top notch I will say that. Didn’t see that end coming and I wonder what the implications will be going forward. No spoilers from me though!

S2 E7 of #StargateSG1 ‘Message In A Bottle’ was very fun. Contact meets The Andromeda Strain and yet another story where O’Neill seems doomed but manages to make it out in one piece.The whole “wild horses” scene between Jack and Teal’c is just awesome. A wonderful moment between fast friends that actually made me misty. 🥹

Bummer. They recast the actress that played Teal’c’s wife in S2 of #StargateSG1. I liked the original actress a lot. On the plus side S2 E8 ‘Family’ was really good.

#StargateSG1 S2 E11 & 12 The Tok’ra are my new favorite episodes of the series so far.There’s SO MUCH good stuff in this two part story:• Amazing production design• Sarah Douglas (Ursa!!)• Sam’s relationship with Martouf• ALL THE STUFF with Sam’s dad• “Piece of cake” callback• The entire host interview (so good)• The interpersonal scenes w/ Sam and General Hammond 🥲Just amazingly well written and plotted. Really looking forward to seeing more of them in the future.

Wow #StargateSG1 S2 E14 Touchstone… I wondered when that second Stargate from Antarctica would make another appearance and boy did it. It seems the series has a serious dilemma going on that will eventually have to be resolved. Namely how long can the SGC operate freely before the program gets completely taken out of their hands? Been building ever since Maybourne showed up in S1. Guess we’ll find out eventually.

Great ep of #StargateSG1 in S2 E16 A Matter Of Time. The SG team opens a wormhole to a planet being sucked into a singularity & can’t close the gate! Einsteinian drama ensues & boy what a well-written piece of science fiction it is. 🤓Good stuff:• ALL the physics/science stuff• O’Neill, Hammond & others telling Carter to explain things in non-technobabble terms 😂• Bye bye titanium iris! • Days to solve the problem top side due to time dilation (brilliant!)• Poor red / black shirt dude

After a VERY long hiatus I’m back watching #StargateSG1 and S3 E17 ‘A Hundred Days’ is a new favorite. Col O’Neil is stranded on a distant world when the Stargate there is buried in a meteor strike. After giving up all hope of ever making it home he falls in love with a native woman and starts to settle down just when he is rescued.Fantastic episode with shades of #StarTrek TNG’s The Inner Light. Teal’C is a standout hero here as is Richard Anderson as usual. Great story & performances!

Boy, the SG1 team sure left a crap load of equipment back on P2X-416, didn’t they? Weapons, ammo, radios, a M.A.L.P., Zat Guns, and even a naquadah reactor. And all in the hands of race of militant humans. Sure hope that doesn’t come back to bite them eventually. 😬#StargateSG1

Really enjoyed the S3 finale ‘Nemesis’ & the S4 premiere ‘Small Victories’ of #StargateSG1 introducing the new baddies The Replicators. Action packed w/ lots of heartfelt, funny moments. Highlights:- Teal’c’s goatee! - O’Neil’s genuine concern for Thor🥹- Daniel’s line “I just feel so useless. I wish I was going with them.” And Gen Hammond’s reply “Now you know how I feel.”- Carter HUGGING Thor!!! 🥹🥹🥹I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ve seen of the Replicators, they’re pretty fun villains.

About to watch the S1 finale of #StargateSG1. Was kinda dissapointed the penultimate ep was a clips show however. TNG pulled that w/ S1’s Shades of Gray, never a crowd pleaser, folks.

Someone #StargateSG1 command seriously needs to sit Teal’c down and debrief him about EVERYTHING he knows about the Goul’ds. New stuff keeps coming up that’s suddenly a big deal cause he hasn’t told anybody about it, until it… happens. There’s these resistence fighters called the Tokra that could help us save earth? Yes. Why haven’t we heard of them until now? You did not ask.OMG! 🤬

S4 E5 of #StargateSG1 ‘Divide and Conquer’ took me by surprise. The team searches for a brainwashed assassin within their ranks before a major diplomatic meeting and in the process Jack & Sam must admit how they *really* feel about each other. - I remember Vanessa Angel from the TV version of Wierd Science. Have not seen her in decades, wow.- The emotional reveal of O’Neil and Carter’s feeling hits seriously hard. I got misty 🥹- Wow that person’s unexpected death! Didn’t see that coming. 😱

I understand now why S4 E6 of #StargateSG1 ‘Window of Opportunity’ is a fan favorite. O'Neill and Teal'c are caught in a time loop in the S.G.C., and must relive the same 10 hours over and over again.This episode made me laugh out loud at least 3 or 4 times. I LOVE the running “Ok, bad example.” joke plus all the Groundhog Day references. This is like #StarTrek TNG’s ‘Cause and Effect’ but 1000x more fun. New fav SG1 episode 10/10 - The juggling!- The technobabble! 😅- That KISS!

I have to say one of my favorite aspects of #StargateSG1 is the lack of any kind of Prime Directive. I love how SG-1 and O’Neill have no problem making moral judgments about the societies they encounter and often proceed to interfere when they deem it necessary. Your society is based on slave labor? Nope! Not any more!! YOU GO, JACK! 🫡👍👊

#StargateSG1 has become quite the comfort food for me of late. Even though every episode is new and unknown to me the show still feels like an old friend when I watch it. #StarTrek has long served this role for me so I’m very glad it’s got some company now. Stargate is the perfect blend of sci-fi, well written characters, epic scope and humor that makes it a joy to watch when stress is high. Most grateful.

I enjoyed S4 E20 ‘Entity’ of #StargateSG1 much more than the previous 4 entries. Pretty standard scifi fare but done really well and with some nice twists and turns. Though O’Neill’s shoot first, ask questions later mindset is usually wrong, here he’s vindicated. Big time. More good stuff:- Amanda Tapping’s ominous, dialog-free delivery- Teal’c & Worf are brothers from another mother- A++ Production design - WOW! Cyberpunk cool!- Won’t someone please think of the M.A.L.P’s!7.5/10

The #StargateSG1 S4 finale ‘Exodus’ & S5 premier ‘Enemies’ are a great, action packed adventure w/tons of twists & turns. I can imagine how hard it would’ve been to wait months between these episodes ala TNG’s ‘Best of Both Worlds.- Great SFX w/ tons of spaceship goodness- Return of the Replicators, yay! Bad bugs, bad!🤖- AMAZING production & set design- “It’s the first time I’ve ever blown up a star.” - Teal’c brainwashed. DUH DUH DUUUUUH!- Fourth times a charm for 86ing Apophis?9.5/10

Holy cow! #StargateSG1 S5 E7 ‘Beast of Burden’ is a new favorite. This has all the hallmarks of great scifi including a very Trek feel. A GREAT Daniel J. ep too! SG-1 encounters a pre-industrial world using Unas as slaves & must decide what to do.• The awesome Larry Drake as the heavy!• “Why not? We’ve meddled in other societies before!” 😅• Reverse Planet of the Apes meets Enemy Mine• O’Neill’s change of heart over the Unas 💕• Michael Shanks’ Jackson SHINES• Plot twist ending!!9/10

As good as E7 was I liked S5 E8 ‘The Tomb’ of #StargateSG1 even more. SG-1 teams up with a squad of Russians to explore an ancient alien temple & learn their comrade’s fate. Holy cow the set design was AMAZING! Totally impressive on a TV budget. Creepy story and another one where Daniel is in his element. Just a really fun, Tomb Raider meets Alien story. • Closed caption Russian: “Holy shit.” You can say that again. 😅• Jennifer Halley as Tolinev 😍• Perfectly timed escape FTW!9.5/10

Oh no! The Cylons have infiltrated the SGC! If you took TNG’s Lower Decks and mashed it together with A Ship In The Bottle you’d get something like S5 E12’s Proving Grounds. #StargateSG1Not a bad story, but just an entirely inconsequential one and helmed by C-level cadets who are not one tenth as interesting as those in Lower Decks.- Non-surprise twist ending- Extra grumpy Col O’Neill- A very young, very unknown Grace Park- So say we all! 6.5/10

Recognized this halogen desk lamp from tonight’s ep of #StargateSG1 as the very same one that sits on my desk today. Kinda crazy right? Not as crazy as the fact it’s been 23 years and it’s still going strong with the exact same bulb. 😳🤓 Prob jinxed it now though.
