Stargate and Star Trek

[trancejeremy]

I pretty much stopped watching it after they brought in Beau Bridges (I just can't buy him as a Air Force general) and that elderly lady from Farscape and they added the guy with glasses's wife (Andromeda). (I hate shows with husband and wife couples on them, too cutesy)

However, before that, I liked the show because it had likeable actors (particularly Richard Dean Anderon and Christopher Judge - both can be very funny); lots of gunfights (I like how guns actually are useful much of the time); drew from real world mythology, both in terms of the gods, but also from UFO Lore (ie, having the Greys as aliens, albeit as the norse gods); and once I got to watching, I liked the strong level of continuity between shows.

Claudia Black is not elderly she is only her early thirties. And Michael Shanks who plays Daniel Jackson the guy with glasses has had very few scenes with his wife. she has mostly had scenes with Beau Bridges and Ben Browder and none of her scenes has had any coy flirting with the Jackson character.


I have question did you mind the scenes with Daniel Jackson and his wife on the show Sha're the onw who gets taken over by the Gou'ld in the pilot and later bears the Haresis child?

Also, the fact that on SG the good guys usually win made it a good companion show for BSG which is much darker. (On Sci-Fi both were shown on Friday.) SG is the appetizer and BSG is the meat.

I know that when Stargate first came on the air their was some criticism of RDA portrayal of Jack O'Neill because he was not as angry and depressed and suicidal as Kurt Russell's character in the movie. I didn't agree with the critics on this. It worked in the movie but watching that character week after week would have just sucked the fun out of the show. They choose to allow Jack's character to heal from his son's death and move on and it worked.

Well, it's not that I don't want him to heal from his son's death and move on to living his life. It's his one too many stale one-liners. Was he a failed stand-up comic before he joined the Air Force?



To me, he's like the Defiant in DS9: Couldnt stand it in the beginning, but over time grew to like it.
