SG.1

So I've started to watch SG.1 to see if I would enjoy it. TV has been pretty craptastic (I'm still not sure how we justify the cost to Rogers... but hey) and the SG series has like 10 seasons, so lots of viewing to go.

So far, the first DVD disc of season 1 has got my attention, though I hope things improve a little.

Review of episodes:

  1. As intros go, it's ok - wait was that a MacGyver reference??
  2. This one was ok - those worms are nasty looking. Things are looking good.
  3. Wow, this one was quite bad. I sure hope this isn't what I have to look forward to.
  4. Aren't any races more advanced that humans?? Jezus. What is with the non-military investigation slant? I guess the writers just realized that the story scope would be too narrow if all missions where 100% military by nature.
  5. Eh... a tad overdone and cheesy on the 'ethics' side of travel
  6. This one was cool, though the end was a little fast to wrap up
  7. Concept was cool, but a lot of new story elements introduced w/o background (ie. the first one). I hope they take it somewhere :)
  8. Interesting, though again the end was a tad quick.
  9. Pretty good - I wondered if they'd try a UN like alien thing
  10. Pretty ok
  11. Kinda fishy.
  12. Had some serious possibilities - a little of a let down in the end.
  13. Another god, very cool
  14. This one was inevitable.
  15. Interesting...
  16. Frustrating - someone shoot that advanced butt head in the brain pan
  17. Very cool
  18. Eh... boring.
  19. Kinda over done foreshadowing, but not bad
  20. Ack! a flash back episode... why or why do shows do this...
  21. Ok, the big battle... and it's 'to be continued'... damn you! Damn you all to hell!

Lemme know if you want to borrow some of the other seasons. I have several.

SG-1 is tres good. Season three and four are the best IMO, nine and ten (the current season) are also good.

Have you checked out Farscape?

Season 1 has a mix of hits and misses. Some of the episodes in this season are pretty bad.

Season 2 is much more solidly hits, plus they push the idea of the show more, dealing more with the Stargate and its implications etc.

No farscape, perhaps I'll check it out.

I'll stick it out, aside from one really awful episode, it's pretty good.
