And straight off the bat I am reminded that the X-Files "Pusher" guy was a recurring character in this.

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

speaking of X-Files it remains my personal headcanon that Scully's dad didn't die he faked his death to go work at Cheyenne Mountain.

god the era of the shrieking wormhole lol

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

tho it's fun for now, I recall wishing the music wasn't quite so ~**!!**~~MUSIC~**!!**~~ through the rest of the season

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

enjoying the cute lil hearts on "Thor's" armor

I'm now making Ependa watch Hathor

nothere3.bsky.social•27 days ago

A lot of the S1 music was just the film score chopped up and re-edited.

dogblud.bsky.social•27 days ago

Which would be fine if they didn't do it in such a 'OH LOOKS LIKE YOU MISSED THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAD NOW, HERE'S A REMINDER' way lol

sedatespacecowboy.bsky.social•28 days ago

I love the older wormhole effect! But yeah, the sound, notsomuch. I'm pretty sure they just modulated a screaching pig and called it a day.

There were a few crossover characters. William B Davis, the cigarette guy got reincarnated as that Ori Prior Damaris guy in SG-1.
I've got his autograph somewhere

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

Lmaooo that's right, Cigarette Smoking Prior.

I'm still salty about the executive sabotage and cancellation of SGU

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

I have very conflicted feelings about SGU tbh. Trying to follow in BSG's footsteps and the very questionable body swapping stuff from S1 were huge turnoffs, though I heard it was finding its own feet/identity once it abandoned a lot of the ~edge~ at which point yea got its legs cut out from under it

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

I would've liked to have seen where it might've gone if it was given given a season or two more of Not Being BSG.

janet is best character no i will not take comments :3

luxgalador.bsky.social•28 days ago

YES YES YES I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS SHOW

eskiworks.bsky.social•28 days ago

This remains one of my favorite shows! Like anything shows its age, but it was so fun to watch. Teal'c is best!!

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

I literally just said to Ependa 'my memory tells me Teal'c is the best but we'll see if that holds up' LOL

I am also a big fan of the Sam/Janet wing of the fandom.

eskiworks.bsky.social•28 days ago

Sam as a character was so influential for me that I was sure if I had a daughter someday I would name her. Sam!

Also, I really enjoyed what existed of Stargate universe! It felt like their answer to Battlestar Galactica at the time, and I was really looking forward to the tonal change and the exploration of the universe through the ship's journey. I know it didn't land well with a lot of people but I liked it

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

I was just so done with BSG at the time Universe aired I think lol. I was like 'oh my god what are you doing to my junk food show??? what the fuck???' So I'll admit to being one of the people that didn't give it much of a fair shake.

howlitzer.art•28 days ago

yeah I think this is gonna be my next background binge too

hyenahex.bsky.social•28 days ago

the show has a very pleasing tone to it. super comfortable while still taking itself seriously

tehdeminz.bsky.social•28 days ago

My little brother hyperfixated on this and every single Stargate property for a year, sending me various clips completely out of context the entire time, and I gotta say

it's a banger

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

Atlantis is still my favorite but SG-1 was my burnout show for yeah roughly a solid year or so lol

sedatespacecowboy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Atlantis was great! Though I feel like on the re-watch Rodney just became way too intolerable.

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

He was very clearly whatshisname's personal blorbo and was treated as such. Which I think probably would've been fine if it didn't start to feel like it was being done at the expense of other characters.

Also, what they did to Weir frankly sucked tbh :')

sedatespacecowboy.bsky.social•28 days ago

It felt like they never knew what to do with Weir. From the beginning she seemed like a good civilian counterpoint. "Our manifest destiny can't extend across the galaxy." Then it was like, oops we're just gonna war crime our way through a new galaxy, and I'm fine with it.

dogblud.bsky.social•28 days ago

IIRC the actress who played her went on record saying that was pretty much exactly the problem. They didn't know what to do with her, and weren't really spending time on developing her enough to figure it out.

sedatespacecowboy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Despite that, I liked her, and ending her character the way they did was so bad.

tehdeminz.bsky.social•28 days ago

I say, knowing full well I would also be completely insufferable with my blorbo if I got a nationally syndicated narrative fiction show.
