“They started it!”
I love Stargate. Most episodes are: we find a foreign people who are un-american and have to do what we can to make them more american. The whole thing is blatant military propaganda. I’m still mad about atlantis season 5.
“This… is Starfleet. It’s designed to judge people.
This… is America. It’s designed to KILL people.”
…effectively at 5 times this range
Worshipping the Sun is one of the most logical things a species that reproduces civilization can do.
Tell me why we shouldn’t worship the stars.
because even at this distance, the sun will burn your ass if you moon it for too long.
That’s a standard feature of gods though. At least the sun is (mostly) predictable.
Well. some gods. Others might try to peg it. Dionysus, for example.
The P90 are your new God!
Ra… tatatatata.
doctor who vs doctor who in a nutshell.
if you know rtd, please don’t suggest a plot involving the doctor in a nut shell. because i’m pretty sure it’s already on the schedule
A team of 4 who spend their time powering up (with alien tech) so they can eventually kill gods? I never before realized that SG1 is just a JRPG.
While sg1 are foreigners they are technologically primitive so the prime directive wouldn’t even apply to them.
It’s interesting, this is true in the early days of the show but around season 4-5 it’s clear that while the humans (of earth) are still technologically primitive, they essentially are making use of huge swathes of the American military industrial complex. Especially in terms of r&d. Theyre also not beholden to centuries of rigid doctrine around combat. So even though a staff weapon is far more technologically advanced than a gun using gunpowder, the gun is more ergonomic, more usable, more accurate, comes in specialized forms, etc etc. Plus they can implement novel tactics like shooting laser guided missiles through the gate and painting targets with a laser.
That show was pretty cool.
To be fair, on pretty much every world SG-1 visited the Goa’uld had already violated what would be the Prime Directive in Star Trek. SG-1 was just setting things right.
Also, the federation violated the prime directive whenever it was convenient; including doing all the things that we’d criticize SG-1 for doing; like arming natives in an arms race.
One block of C-4 at a time.
That’s one of the reasons I stopped rewatching Stargate. It’s so noisy.
One night, I was rewatching Stargate late during the night and I realized I needed to lower the volume often to avoid annoying or waking up the people around. I could wear headphones but I don’t want to hear guns and explosions so frequently so near.
I really liked Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis) but now a big part of what I see and hear when I watch it, is guns and explosions, and I’m passed that.
WOOP WOOP that’s the sound of UNSCHEDULED OFF WORLD ACTIVATION!
Turn down volume, turn on subtitles
I just watch Carter for forty minutes at a time
