Was it time to end Stargate SG-1??

[wraithfodder]

TV Guide - the June 18th issue - has a two page spoiler-ridden spread on the finale, plus the plot for "Ark of Truth."

Click on cut only if you want to know.... 

* Four pictures, two from "Unending", one off-set, and one from "Ark of Truth" - the one shot on the left is worth the price of the magazine.

* ER's Goran Visnjic visited the set and told tv guide he was "thrilled" to be photographed in front of the gate. [Darn! Jeers to TV Guide for not posting that photo - only wish Goran would do SGA!)

* Vala and Daniel become lovers - no, it's not Sam and Jack, it's Vala and Daniel. Sam and Jack will probably never happen, not if she's in another galaxy... [actually, I had no problem with Daniel and Vala as they make more sense than Jack and Sam - I mean, it's been a decade and it's still 'sir.' Ain't gonna happen...)

* Ark of Truth - "focuses on the Ori's threat to Earth and a device that may deprogram its soldiers."

* "Continuum," coming next spring, will feature an alternate-timeline story in which O'Neill, Carter and Mitchell find themselves in the 1939 Arctic battling Nazis - and an old alien enmy - over the newly discovered gate. 


I may be the only one who cringed when I read that, but Enterprise already did the Nazi plot thing, as has half a dozen really bad movies on SciFi. What is this obsession with Nazis in scifi flicks lately? Sorry, it's just so friggin' cringeworthy....

And after watching last week's "Family Ties," yes, I think it's time to retire the show... sorry to say...

Is it bad that I hear the word 'Nazi' and automatically my mind goes to Joe Flanigan playing either the son of or the younger Indiana Jones..?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, better than thinking 'oh god, not another insipid nazi scifi plot,' which is what came to my mind immediately. With bad CGI monsters, no doubt.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's just that I don't have SciFi channel and thus haven't seen all these bad Z-list movies...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, bad flicks are basically what SciFi airs ;)

[pisces227.livejournal.com]

Extremely bad flicks. I really can't believe anyone watches them.

I have been a fan of SG1 since the original movie. I'm sorry to see it end but I think it's time has come. The past 2 years have been very hard to watch. IMO.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I've actually watched them, too many of 'em, I'm sure ;(

I was a huge fan of SG1 in the beginning, but like you, the last few seasons have been trying. I like the cast and thought Ben Browder invigorated the show, but for me, the writing just got dull :(

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

I lost interest in SG-1 after the end of S7...I'm honestly surprised it went on another 3 years. As much as I like Vala and Cam as characters, nothing they did could honestly redeem the writing...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. Normally, when a show I like is bumped off, I get ticked off, but when they announced SG1's demise, I was like, oh well.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

I think it says something all these years on that I still pine for DS9 - yet SG-1 has only just gone off the screens and I really couldn't give a crap...

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

So what's the picture worth the price of the magazine?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

This one:

Ah-ha!! I'd been wondering where that picture came from :) Thanks!!

[whisper99.livejournal.com]

Ok, did they just rip off *ahem* homage Indiana Jones with both movies????

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure seems so.

I am sorry they won't give us closure one way or another on the Sam/Jack thing, although I can see and am glad to have the Daniel/Vala resolution--in a way, it ties up his search for Sha'are and dealing with her death.

But I admit I've just about stopped watching it because the writing was becoming excrutiating.

I just wish I could get into SGA. And I wish this wasn't the year of the bad nazi movie...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I don't think they'll ever close the Sam/Jack thing until they think the movies can float on their own. I think enough fans are still clinging to hope they'll see it in a movie (although at this rate, Jack's gonna be retired before it happens, and now with Sam in another galaxy...)

Daniel and Vala? ::cries:: I'm apparently the only one, but I find Vala insufferable. Daniel hasn't made a dating choice this bad since he boinked the Destroyer of Worlds.

And didn't The X-Files do an AU Nazi ep, too? I seem to remember something about a cruise ship and an AU Scully. It's been way too long since I've watched that show.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, X-Files did a Nazi episode, too... yup, a time travel episode. Oh my, Raiders of the Lost Ark and X-Files ripoffs in one episode ;)

[toasteronfire.livejournal.com]

Argh, not a Vaniel fan. :(

Also, time traveling and NAZIS?! Jeez, hasn't every other SF show done that already? The well of TPTB's creativity has truly run dry...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I don't mind Vaniel ;)

But the Nazi plot line... yeah, it's been done to death. X-Files, Enterprise, bad movies on Skiffy... the list is probably endless. Not to mention "Ark" and "nazis" rings of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
