SGA.... well both Stargate series, like any good scifi continuously break and rebreak the laws of physics. At least they do it in a fun way and actually spend the smallest amount of time explaining why. They could do a whole lot worse. They pretty much have their own set of rules and only break the laws in a way that can be called idiotic on one or two occasions. For instance last weeks episode of Atlantis.... um seriously? I will not even try to explain or even try to figure out what they were thinking. A rare example of an episode that despite the good banter I could do without. Sad to say. The rest of the season so far has been really good and yet just a teensy bit disappointing.

I read that a lot of cast members had issues and stuff and weren't available at some times, hence the 'filler' type episodes. Plus Higginson won't be around for the fifth season that just started shooting, so a little more difficulty there...
But the show's characters are what I watch it for, not the science or whatever- I think it rocks! It's like a lightweight cross between Voyager & Firefly to me.

THE GIFT was another interesting entry- Taylor's past & geneology were cool.

SEIGE pt. 1 has me goin'...more later.

Hey all. This thread couldn't have come at a better time, as I'm really falling in love with this show
I watched SG-1 religiously but only watched the first few SGA episodes (mainly due to lack of time than a dislike for the show) I caught the tail end of season 1 during repeats then stopped again.
Now, missing Stargate, I've recently started watching again, the middle of season 4 no less.
The first one I saw (don't know the names, but it was the third part of a story involving finding a wraith hive) I didn't like but each episode since has got better and better

Even though it was pretty much a bottle episode, I LOVED the last one "Trio". It had plenty of Jewel Staite , Carter and Rodney, who is just the best character EVER!
I also sensed that maybe the writers are leading to a triangle of sorts with Ronon, Rodney and Keller. Not exactly a bad thing if we're gonna get more of Jewel, who I must add looks even hotter than ever nowadays!

I agree, Jewel is hot, but I also liked her better on Firefly when she had a bit more weight on her. Sorry I just don't really think skinny women as as attractive as those with some weight. Don't take that to mean I'm into the obese... I mean a good healthy weight.

Anyway, I loved the banter in Trio. Unfortunately the fact that they seemed to presume the audience had the intelligence of a dog sorta seemed to turn me off. I can see a show not holding up the the intelligence of a real life Physicist but a geek with barely more than a High school education shouldn't be able to see the flaws so easily. This episode just left a sour taste in my mouth is all. Had a bunch of good laughs and quite a few chuckles. Sadly, for me, it doesn't make up for the bad... which pisses me off as much as I'm sure it does my fellow fans. I really wish I could have enjoyed it as much as the rest of you seem to.

Good news is it looks like they may make up for it tonight with Teal'c visiting. If last weeks "Trio" filler episode is the worst SGA ever gets it'll still be better than anything a Trek series has ever done.

Space Casesssss! It only ran for two seasons and Jewel was only in season one. Made in Canada, cheesy special effects and plots but entertaining.

I started an entire thread about Space Cases. I didn't watch much past the start of season two but I remember being a bit mad they took Jewel off. I guess I've been a fan of hers since then. I watch Firefly and knew she looked familiar and about the time I'd watched the pilot for the third time I figured it out.

Oh and The Siege is a great episode isn't it? Interesting what happens to Lt. Ford.

Oh and also...

Last night's Atlantis has given me new hope that it's not just devolving into a parody of SG1. It was easily one of the best episodes to date. Everyone had a good part except for a few of the best recurring characters... though Chuck and Lee did get a few good lines. As did Cavanagh but we all hate him since he's either an ass or an idiot every moment on screen. Still it was interesting to see him again after so long.

Also 157 old Teal'c with long hair=women swooning and thrusting themselves upon him. Seriously.

Oh and let's all please use spoiler brackets when talking about major plot points from the series. We got folks still in Season 1/2 who might not want stuff like that ruined. I might start my own thread for discussion of spoilers... or just go to the Atlantis boards... which I've never been to.

Imma stop reviewing eps for a while- I haven't come across one I haven't liked yet, so I'll just post about extraordinary eps (like Siege 3) or moments, or ones I ain't too pleased with, if any.
