Yeah I enjoyed the Stargate movie. I like James Spader as an actor too

Love the movie, love the cast, got it for my PSP for when Im on the go. I just haven't been able to get into SG-1, I find the cast change jarring, those guys did such a good job that I just can't get on with the TV actors (who amusingly have had many many many more years in those roles)

My problem though, not SG-1's I suspect so its all good for fans of SG-1. I dont mind Atlantis though.

Hmm, now I kind of want to take a break to watch Stargate again.

My problem with SG-1 and Atlantis lies in the idea that no government would ever let these gates be used unsupervised or controlled at any time by civies, and that they would inevitably try to use the gates to rule Earth.
After the movie, I would hold to the idea that the stargate would be shut down, or destroyed, by those that wouldn't want such awsome abilities in the hands of petty bureauocrats and hawkish politicians.

Remember why they wanted an Alien brought back to Earth? Ask Carter Burke.
Oh, that's right...you can't; an Alien killed him...

Anyway, painting the government as anything less than suspicious killed those two series for me.
(Or did I not see key episodes?)

You're right of course, Chris, but I ignore it in order to just enjoy. My kids got me hooked on the Stargate shows, both of them and also on Battlestar Galactica by virtue of the fact that it came on after, I watched and liked.

There have not been episodes that justify the government thing... they pretend. I pretend. It's as simple as that. However, I don't watch as much since I fell for Firefly, because I simply don't like it as much. Still like the new Battlestar Galactica though. It's not Firefly, but it's about the best on television (currently) that there is.

LOOOOVE the Stargate movie. Never got to see it on the big screen -- wanted to, but just never made it.

I kicked myself up and down once I saw it on the small screen.

Can't get into the series, though one of my sisters is really into it (or, at least she was. Not sure if she is any more).

I love the movie, prefer it too SG1, which is still good but hmmm... Atlantis I just can't watch, its what Excalibre was to Babylon 5, a cheap shadowy imitation imho.

Excalibre?? Do you mean "Crusade"? cause that was crap! but I dont agree with a comparison of it to SG Atlantis, I like Atlantis!

Crusade was fair crap, yes, but it has the fact that it is sci fi going for it. I'll watch any sci fi before most other CRAP on TV.

Yeah, your right I meant Crusade. It's not a straight forward comparision thing though, I can't watch Atlantis for the same reasons I can't watch Crusade, it cheapens what came before (for me). Just personal opinion, but I think Earth Final Conflict and Andromeda are terrible too, so what do I know?

Earth Final Conflict and Andromeda are pretty bad I agree but I still say that because they are sci-fi they are better than 95% of the other crap on the tube(or plasma).
