Stargate SG1 was amazing until about S9+ where Anderson left the show and we got an obnoxious thot to help fill the gap. The shows afterwards got pretty woke as well.
Yes. Great show, a lot of the core plotlines and characters still hold up today. The writers originally made Samantha Carter an insufferable feminist, until midway through season 1, her actress (Amanda Tapping) went to the writers and told them that genuinely capable women don't talk or act the way Carter did. The writers then not only changed course, but made it so that losing the feminist chip on her shoulder was in-universe character progression.
I genuinely cannot fathom this happening in a mainstream TV show today.
It's funny cuz I have only watched it through season 5 before the actors leave. It is good.
It's a show where you don't feel like you have to consult the Wiki every 5 minutes (cough House of the Dragon). They have so much screen time -- 22 episodes a season, that they actually tell everything onscreen instead of all the details being in books you'll never read.
There is talk of a new Stargate show. I think Amazon has the rights and has been talking about it, maybe even beginning pre production later this summer
And I loved the original shows (universe tried too hard though). Carter being a woman was a plot point for the first season or so, then the show got over it except for situations where it actually would have mattered.
Teal'c being black literally never mattered to anyone, and was never a plot point as far as I remember.
But now? It'd be hot trash because the left can't help themselves.
Why you gotta bring Junior into this? It wasn't his fault, and he never did anything wrong, in fact he helped Teal'c multiple times (and then got replaced with the meds).
They had the episode with Rene Auberjonois where the elite white people lived in a bunker breeding eugenical while they bombed the mixed breeders on the surface with drones. It was an advanced culture that was prepared to share technology with the SGC but SG1 let the surface people destroy the bunker people.
'Waah, an actor for a show I used to watch doesn't parrot my opinions!'
Welcome to what the 95% of us have to endure.
I'm just glad there's no current talk of bringing Stargate back as they'd likely fuck it up.

Richard Dean Anderson was the backbone of that entire franchise and no one can convince me otherwise. None of it works without him.
I agree.
Shit, I thought I was the only one.
Huh she is also the voice of Morrigan in worst Dragon Age entries.
Jesus, she was only in her 30s?
And the Ori were just a sadder version of the Goa'uld.
Still worth getting into? I'm always on the hunt for old for "new" shows I never watched, especially with how shit shows are nowadays.

Ohh... Okay. Because I tried to watch it and found her to be an insufferable feminist.
If I start with season 2 will I have missed much?

Origins probably killed the franchise for a good while.

It's going to be shit.

Teal'c being Jaffa is way more important than him being Black. Literally, it's what's on the inside that counts.
Why you gotta bring Junior into this? It wasn't his fault, and he never did anything wrong, in fact he helped Teal'c multiple times (and then got replaced with the meds).
Obviously being an alien (or whatever Jaffa are) would be way more important than being black. But an SJW show would think differently.

tbf, I see that as more "not my circus, not my monkeys".
Moral issues are a staple of sci-fi shows.
Yeah that was one of the last episodes I got to before I stopped watching. I didn't stop watching because of that, but i'm barely further. lol
Amazon though now have a history of cancelling projects due to feedback
Look at that supposed 40K show, that seems dead thanks to the constant fan response and now Games Workshop is more fucked due to cucking.
Just sell it to Disney, and let's be done with this clownshow. The world obviously needs more Disney remakes; Star Wars went so swimmingly.
The Best Joker, phenomenal voice actor and good actor in general, shit political opinions.
The best example of a stalwart, wise, and principled captain on TV. Excellent at mentor roles in general. Commie.
slightly based actually
I never really saw him in anything but SW, and it's fine.
He should be an imperialist. His whole schtick is acting like british royalty. That's not very uh common, comrade.
Not as much as TD says he is, but he's ok.
