<div class="IPBDescription">Unlock the Universe</div> <a href='http://www.stargate-sg1.com/' target='_blank'>Stargate: SG1</a> is in it's 7th season of production airing on <a href='http://www.scifi.com/' target='_blank'>Sci-Fi</a>, an 8th is planned making it the second longest science-fiction series just after the X-Files, and there may yet be a 9th. I haven't seen it in many years but after catching it in syndication on a local station in I've taken a renewed interest. Remarkably it hasn't changed much over the years, it still is the best TV sci-fi series stories bar-none.

The premise of SG1 where any world imaginable can be visited through the <a href='http://www.scifi.com/stargate/welcome/tech.html' target='_blank'>Stargate</a> allows for a huge variety of stories that are linked together by seeing how the SG1 team works through them. The show seems similar to <a href='http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/VOY/index.html' target='_blank'>Star Trek: Voyager</a>, where the crew visits new worlds constantly, however the characters of SG1 have a much greater depth and are infinitely more loveable.

Anyways, I personally love the show, and I'd like to hear others' thoughts about what kicks **** or kicks the bucket.

For those that would like to see episodes, they are available if you know where to look, or <a href='http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/' target='_blank'>what</a> for.

    It is the best series ever, it's managed to stay relativly good on average through out all its seasons...

    The plot device makes that relativly simple though, as you said, there's always a different twist they can put on things...

    I don't know if it'll actually surpass X-Files in running... but unlike X-Files, it's managed not to suck in its now later seasons. (You have to admit, the last season of X-Files blew because thye abandoned their original premise and tried to bring their back plot and such to a conclusion.)

    I watch Star Trek now and then, but I'm not a big fan. I love Stargate, though. I've been watching it since it first came in syndication. The story is consistently good, very original. The characters are very rich and planned out. And just the whole idea and concept of the show is cool and plausible. They don't have to explain why everyone looks human. Star Trek just gives races some different foreheads and ears. My brother calls them the 'Forehead of the Week'. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    X-Files is a great show. Unfortunately, I've only recently started watching it. I do think that the later seasons aren't always as good, since they started following Agent Dagget and Agent ...what's-her-name.

    Anyway, I look forward to where this series will go, and ultimately end. I just hope they don't keep it living longer than it should. Look at Earth : Final Conflict. It was all good up until they got into that Space Vampire stuff.

    erm, I hate to participate in a SG-1 bashing, but ever since Sci-Fi took over (blame before! just like republicans blame recessions on the dems), it's gotten "weird." I used to watch before I went to Germany, and stopped after that (2001).

    I mean seriously, making someone a god, taking that away, doing other weird stuff... meh, not my thang.

    Making a good FPS SG game/mod seems impossible, an RPG would have the best luck...

    Well, if they just do a TFC/CS style battlefeild of SG GIs versus Jaf'fa like in a few episodes (them was good battles) then it might be worth a play for a change up every once in a while.

    Now... it would only be cooler if they modded an engine with vehicles... like Tribes... so that we could have those death gliders...

    SG1 = Pwn

    The eps where the lab geeks came in had me in stiches, Avenger 2.0 was Fricken HALARIOUS!


    but, at the risk of starting a flame war

    Firefly = MEGAPWN!

    Firefly had a nice gritty feel but it had humor pouring out every oriface. In the first episode aired (second filmed) had the ultimate line


    "Uh sir, shouldnt we-"
    "You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain im gonna BEAT you with until you understand who's in chage here? got it?!"

    Some of the Season 6 and 7 episodes are strange, but they still fit within the storyline, and were still good.

    One from season 6 comes to mind, "Nightwalkers" where young Gou'ald's zombified a small town at night was ripped straight from X-Files style and the characters, Jonas Quinn's personality was screaming "Agent Mulder" and Carter- Scully. Different, yes, but still good. Some from season 7, "Fragile Balance" where O'Neill apparently regressed decades in age had me cracking up throughout, and the most recent one "Avenger 2.0" seemed to be going for laughs succeeded but was a bit...perverted in places.

    Many of the plots are different, and the stories are a bit more light-hearted then earlier seasons, but the production and acting is still top-notch. Shouldn't jump to conclusions yet, not even 1/2 the way through season 7 though, and season 6 overall was seamless with earlier seasons.

    a semi rgp would work with it. you would have to one chose of several missions. depending on the out come of that mission the next set of missions to chose from would be affected. however each mission would be liniar. almost like GTA if the out of mission par was non liniar

    Despite my futile attempts, this is digressing into an unrelated topic. Please comment on the TV show "Stargate: SG1" or if you want "Stargate: The Movie" starring Kurt Russel. Start a new topic to discuss a HL SG mod/how to make one.
