#22Stargate. The original movie was cool but I never could get in to the TV show, even during its heyday with Richard Dean Anderson. That said, if they ever did a reboot I'd probably check it out!
The first couple of seasons are a little rocky, but once it established its own cast of characters and mythos, it really became something special.
The one where Teal'c goes to a performance of the Vagina Dialogs is one of my favorites.

#23I'm actually kinda curious what SG-1's production company setup was for moving around the gate to all of British Columbia's quarries and forests.

#24Does it act like a giant superconductor though?
anything is a super conductor if you can put an giant amount of energy through it in a short period of time.

Awesome, thank you.
In the picture section (in Google Maps on Android at least), there is a video of it being lit up.

#26Ok, you can’t just build something cool and expect people not to show up.
Which is why you don't tell people about having an elevator descending into a bat cave .. cool DIY build project (if you happen to have an old tourist cave on your land) but it's a nuisance dealing with the looky Lou's and drive by Penguin's..
Ya build one power producing nuclear reactor in your basement and suddenly everyone has an opinion on how you should spend your free time.

I've watched seasons 1-5 this year. It's basically my first run through, I'd only watched a couple of random episodes back in the day and not been impressed, so there's no nostalgia at play here. It absolutely holds up, and does things that seem to be impossible for streaming-era TV shows in terms of building the characters and the universe. The first season is very obviously done on a shoestring budget, but the prod…
You're right around the point they got renewed for two seasons at once, so they had a lot more freedom for extended plot/setting development. I forget exactly which two seasons they were, though.
If you're continuing and at all interested in the timing, SG-1 season 8 has a two-parter premiere, and Stargate Atlantis begins immediately after that, not before or at the same time.
I'd actually decided to re-watch the series this year and am just finishing the 8th season right now.

At least it's not a gate in just outside of Vancouver. ;)

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
Atlantis was a lot better than SG1 in my opinion (relative to modern attention spans), maybe start there. I liked SG Universe but it got a bit Home-and-away every now and then which was off-putting. Relationships in a sci-fi? Who cares
Universe was the only series I watched (due to Scalzi being a technical advisor), but I found it infuriating that they let Tim Roth's character continue to have the run of the ship after he proved himself a psychopath.
Do you mean Robert Carlyle? Tim Roth kind of looks similar to him, but doesn't appear to have been on any Stargate.
