Into the Gate: Stargate SG-1 (Spoiler-Free)

I agree. I wish they would've mentioned earlier that Earth was close to completing the Oddessy as she came right out of the blue. I understood Daedelus's appearance as it was the sister ship to Promethesus and I figured they were building two at once. I don't know yet what to make of the Lucian Alliance plotline but I'm really liking Baal's attempts to regain power and I can easily see him doing just that.

 

There is a good one in season nine about immaculate conception and Star Wars

 

Thought this was cool and shouldn't just be reserved for the spoiler thread.

Just FYI for those interested. As part of free comic book day, diamond will be giving out free Jack O'neil figures from their upcoming SG-1 line.

Edit: You should just wait for season 9 to come out to make your video Quest. You got another jewel tonight.

Daniel: "A lot of legends and folk lore have a strong basis in fact. Avalon, Atlantis...
Teal'c: "The Easter Bunny"

 

Jedi council = ancients/bra'tac
My name on gateworld is wako! for anyone registered
Here is a nice star wars/gate video

 

That sounds great. But I bet they'll either be all out by the time I get to the shop or they'll never get any in the first place. I always only see the lame stuff on Free Comic Book Day.

 

Well season 9 has come and gone. The first half of the season was a disappointment to me. I'm trying to find some time and watch some re-runs of them on Sci-fi. What was everyone's favorite episode? Mine was the episode Stronghold, where SG-1 and a few other teams go and rescue Teal'c on Baal's ship. Another good one was when Mitchell, Carter, and Daniel became invisible to everyone else.

 

Don't remember all the episode names, but my favorites were the ones with Vala. She was a great addition to the cast and I hope to see more of her next season.

 

Well I won't get too far into it since it is the NS thread but you may get your wish SotS

I loved the first part of the season. Avalon, Origin, Ties that Bind, Powers that Be all great. I wasn't thrilled with some of the middle but I still liked it. Started really picking up with Arthur's Mantle, Crusade, and totaly went out with a big, big bang with Camelot.

 

I tried watching the first season but found it awful...a couple months ago I saw an episode on tv, and that, amid claims that the first 2-3 seasons generally sucked, prompted me to give SG1 another chance. I rented the complete 4th season, and I LOVE IT!!!!

 

Yeah I was never a big fans of the early seasons either.

 

I think the first season was strong in general, but when you compare it to other first seasons i think it does very well for itself. I think the second season wasn't as good as the first.

 

Thats probably true (though I don't know if I've seen enough of season two to say if it was better or not). I think first seasons suck in general.

I can't think of any relatively long running series I like where I think the first season was the end all best season. Buffy, Angel, Alias, Futurama, Farscape, I think they were all great but once they hit their stride in later season the were phenomenally good.

Atlantis might be the lone exception for me. I was really into it the first season but never quite carried it into the current ones.

The best thing about the early seasons of SG-1 are being able to look back and see how far the characters have come. Shanks and Jackson is always a good example looking at how he evolved it from just being a caricature of what Spader had done in the movie to really making the role his own.

I also wanted to start kind of a mini banner contest for the show. As you may or may not know there is a standing offer from the mods of this board that we can submit banners for big events in SFF F&TV (like the current BSG banner to mark the season 3 premiere). As the longest running SF TV show I think that we should defiantly get something together for SG-1. Obviously we missed the season 10 premiere but we can still do something for when the show comes back from the mid-season break or the series finale [face_sniff].

I've got a little work in progress going but there is obviously more work and progress needed on it. :p

Ideally we could get a couple of options as I'm sure everyone would have different ideas of what they would like to see (for example I don't know if everyone would like the season 9 and 10 slant that mine has). Then we could pick one to submit to [b]506[/b] around March-ish.

I know thats a long time to go but I wanted to drum up some support early on so as we get closer we'd be sure to have something to put up. If nothing else comes up I'll defiantly be submitting a (hopefully) more finished version of what I'm working on around that time so if you want something a little more representative of the series as a whole be sure and make one up. :p

If you are interested you can find dimensions, tricks, and tips in the [link=http://boards.theforce.net/communications/b10006/15616242/p1]Offical Banner Makers Thread[/link].

I hope to see at least a couple that we, as the fanbase for the show on these boards, can decide upon to represent one of our favorite shows for at least a little bit before its demise.

Edit: I like to keep this in the NS board (though I will be posting in in the Spoiler board as well) just so that it is accessible to those who might be avoiding spoilers.

 

Well cool at least we'll have two.

That is a good image for a banner. I debated on using it or the one that I used.

Here was the one I was working with. Little lo-res but it might work for you if you can't find a better one without the extra text

I was thinking that too

I'm also interested in seeing what they offer up in terms of downloads. I'll probably stick with iTunes but I'm sure I'll grab one or two from the site just 'cause.

Looks like MGM is looking at a digital future as well.

 

Banner take two.

Edit: I don't know if we get to choose or not but I've been trying to come up with a good "Poof-ism" to go along with it. I kind of like the Kleenex thing but I was also thing about "Yarael Poof doesn't care if they're inside or outside". Something that would be the epitome of in jokey.

 

Yeah I thought that the gate would make a good curve peice. Unfortunatly when I was trying it I had to really blow the gate up to the the arc to go over everyones head. I'm not real thrilled with how the resolution turned out on the gate because of that.

Still, plenty of tinkering time to go.
