SG 1......does the series get better in later seasons?
|
Let me preface this by saying I am a sci-geek. I love Star Trek(the original is still my favorite sci-fi series of all), Star Wars, Twilight Zone(original), Outer Limits(original) etc etc.
I never watched SG 1 while it was in production, but I recently found the first 4 seasons on DvD at a garage sale and scooped them up for $5 each. It really was a no lose situation. I have watched the first two seasons and I am still waiting for this series to "grab" me in some way. Richard Dean Anderson is good in his role, Amanda Tapping is cute, the guy that plays Daniel comes across as a whiny biatch and the actor that plays Teal'c(did I spell that right?) just raises an eyebrow once in awhile and delivers a one liner. There just has just not been a hook for me yet. This series ran for 8-9 years....so it seems like there has to be a chance of it getting better than it seems in the first two season!
What are your opinions??

I enjoyed the whole run though it had its good parts and bad. If it hasn't grabbed you yet not sure if it ever will.

SG-1 is great imo. I couldn't stand the offshoot abominations though.

the earlier seasons have a few corny episodes, just like any other scifi show, but when the original cast is together most of the seasons are great overall. in the later seasons with the cast changes i think the series started to suck hard tho. by the end it was like a totally different spinoff.

Exactly.
While I enjoyed the later seasons for different reasons, I loved that the first several seasons didn't take themselves too seriously.

I also enjoyed most of Stargate Atlantis. I've yet to give the new series a good chance though, too many other things on my plate. I've heard it's not that good though.

Atlantis was fun too, but the 4-5 seasons they had severe cast issues that were apparent.

i liked atlantis better than sg1. in fact atlantis was the first one i got into, then i went back and watched sg1. but yeah atlantis got worse at the end too.
universe is pretty weak. the show is so flawed but for some reason i still watch it every week. i want to like it so badly that i keep watching it anyway.

I liked SG1 up to the Ori BS then they kind of lost me though I did watch them all. I'm a sucker for the whole SG concept.
As far as the new show, it vacillates between total suckage and 'Ooh that was interesting'. IMO too much crew BS and not enough exploration of either the ship or it's stops.
If SG1 doesn't grab you, have you seen Firefly? Now that was a great show that no one heard about until it was too late.

Sanctuary is ok. Seeing them in the actual Sanctuary is annoying, as it looks beyond fake.
SG-U is horribad and doesn't even seem like an SG series.
Eureka is the only recent show on Sci-fi (f**K Syfy) that I enjoy watching.

I ended up watching firefly backwards as it had flown under my radar until the movie came out. Watched the movie and then watched the series. Really seemed like the movie was more of a way to send off the show for loyal series watchers. I get tired of watching shows that are canceled early and the big plot points are never addressed.
Oh what about Warehouse 13, that's interesting from time to time.

I loved SG-1. To me it only gets better until the Ori, then it starts to waver and within a season or two is finally canceled. The first few seasons are a bit dry without a whole lot of character development, mainly focusing on exploration. This changes as time goes on starts to focus on the war with the Goa'uld and our own government's bickering. To me it's a classic series that is well worth watching. Plus I love Amanda Tapping. Never got into Atlantis, never cared for the cast and haven't bothered with SGU either.

I absolutely love Firefly. I hardly ever watch network TV anymore, so I did not catch it until it was out on DvD. The Fox network is probably the #1 reason why I do NOT watch network TV. They have had so many good series that ended up canceled because of the way Fox scheduled(or did not schedule them).....Firefly being the prime example.
