STARGATE SG-1...who likes the serial?...And even better: who believes that it exists?

It's called science fiction for a reason. Scientifically, everything in Stargate could happen (and I believe it will).

I love this show~!  When all the network shows are done for the season... along comes The 4400!  A breath of fresh air!  It's entertaining and DIFFERENT!  I like it a lot!\n\nThe baby, Isabelle, is all grown up now.  That happened like overnight!  Jordan Collier is on the island.... I wonder if he was not really dead, and he got out of the coffin and "escaped" to the island, or if he was "stolen" by someone who has healing powers greater than Shawn's (is that his name?).... Hmmm....  We'll soon find out!

I think it's not fair to compare them just yet, I mean think about it SG-1 has had ten years to develop its characters and build plots, whereas Atlantis has only has three years. Most people would say SG-1 because it has been running longer and therefore we have grown more attached to the characters because we have seen them go through so much including death and a bunch of other things, we have also witnessed the changes among the characters and the development of their personalities. Atlantis on the other hand is new and has only begun to develop the dynamics between all of the characters, as well as work on new and interesting plots (which next season they will have a new enemy to contend with) and so it may take some time before we can completely relate to the characters of Atlantis like we do SG-1.\n\nOh, and by the way Joshua B, it's spelled Wraith :)

although its true that every star trek series has a few seasons (usually in the beginning) that suck (st:tng and st:ds9 weren't that good for the first couple of seasons in my opinion) afterward they were really great and got quite a following even the ST series that people really didn't like eventually found their footing and started to get good (voyager and enterprise).\n\nbut the question to ask on whether they make a new spinoff or not is, what else can they show? there was the original that was the root of it all by breaking new ground and showing what had not been shown on tv before. the following two spinoffs started by NOT reproducing the original but set 100 years later and in a more peaceful era within the boundries (instead of unexplored regions like the original) the DS9 was diff in that although it was on the border, it was on a space station and had some crossing over between the two shows. it took themes from the original series and followed up on them (mirror universe). \n\nvoyager in a way got back to its roots in going into unexplored space while enterprise tried to show how it all started. what else can they show? spinoffs following old characters in new settings? a spinoff set 100 years after ST:TNG? maybe show about how an adolecent alien goes from his home planet through starfleet academy and ends up on a ship encountering characters we've seen in previous shows? but then it would be teen angst drama in space and i don't think the fans would be too interested in that(at least we would know that the crappy part would be while he was at school). \n\nas much as i like ST i don't think they're going to be able to make a successful new series until someone thinks of a concept that will surprise and delight us as much as the original and next generation did.

ABSOLUTELY!!!   I am always in need of a Trek-Fix.  Thank God for DVD's and reruns.   It would be nice to see something new from the Star Trek Universe though, even if it came to us in cartoon format.  I'd still watch it.   Heck, they've redone Battlestar Galactica with all new casting.  They could pull it off with Trek, they'd just have to be true to the series (like not making a previously male character a female), or making Spock a Klingon.

I dont like this serial that much because there are so many similarities in here with other serials. I dont know why many are crazy over it. To me, it is only an average serial. \n\nIt did average in the box  office. If youn need to read the whole story just click http://www.spcnet.tv/reviews/review.php?rID=167

I  could spare only a few mints to see the serial.\nThe Serial Starts  with Raven getting the news of his son's death\nMegnath.Donot worry you did not miss much of the MAIN Charactors role in the first episode.

Battlestar Galactica!! SG1 has seen it's day, it's run for so long, there is so much mythology, you won't be able to know what's going on. \nBSG is just on a new story arc, and this season has been INCREDIBLE!!! Most definitely BSG. It's the best television show on air right now, you won't be disappointed!

Since no one seems to be reading the part of your question that says "with respect to the entire franchise"...here's my take.\n\nStar Trek.  No doubt.  Why?\n\n1. It PREdates Star Wars by a decade.\n\n2. It's cancellation and subsequent resurrection was accomplished by FANS in a letter-writing campaign, and had never been done before.  \n\n3. Star Trek conventions began in the early 70's, before Star Wars, and the whole subculture of sci-fi collectable markets, fan fiction, etc were born as a result.\n\n4. The EXISTING fan base for ANYTHING sci-fi, and particularly those fans of Trek, was part of the reason Star Wars was such a hit in the first place...that whole market of movie fans had been ignored for years, and all they had was re-runs of Trek episodes and Logan's Run (puhleease). \n\n5. While the Star Wars films are an AWESOME story...they are self-contained, concerned only with the characters within it's own universe, and basically just a good guy/bad guy, redemption story.  Trek focused on the future of MANKIND, it's diversity, intelligence, coupled with visions of tolerance, unity, and understanding.  This forward looking, positive attitude has kept it popular for almost forty years.\n\n6. There is no shuttle named "Millennium Falcon"...however, there is one named "Enterprise".\n\n7. Finally, when you see the success of shows such as Babylon 5, SG-1, the NEW Battlestar Galactica, Farscape...what void have/did they fill, or what show did they most try to copy, with their continuing story-lines, long character development and storylines?\n\nTREK

Richard Dean Anderson left Stargate SG-1 to devote more time to his young daughter.  As a single parent, he feels this is more important than his career, so hats off to him.  He is still actively involved with environmental and youth charities as well as his role as a dad.\nThere are persistent but as yet unfounded rumours that he will return for the 200th episode of SG-1 (in the next season), but that's probably just wishful thinking!

Great.\nI'd never heard of this show before two minutes ago and now I know more about it that I could ever want.\n\nI don't think that they are based on real people, though.\n\nHere:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_the_last_airbender

I like watching the show. He does freak everyone out on the show. But it is definitely mind over matter.

the original series is hands down the best for several reasons. the most important fact being that no sequel or follow up is ever as good as the first. not only were the story lines more consistently compelling and meaningful, but so were the actors and their delivery, even if a bit exaggerated at times like science fiction is supposed to be.\none can not forget the awesome music in those first episodes as well. sure the graphics in general and on the deck may not have been the best but lets not forget it was the late 60's and they were putting discs into disc drives before they existed. without trying to be critical of all that followed, i tried to watch all of the other series and always found them to rely too much on technology advances, new alien lifeforms and other themes that were too complicated for someone looking for good old fashion sci-fi entertainment. the original episodes, while they involved technology, aliens and time warps for example, the shows were more about the characters and their reactions to those things and the heroic nature in which they peformed their jobs in space - where NO MAN has gone before!

I hope so! It's actually quite possible that a stargate (or similar device) do exist, but it's also possible that one doesn't exist on this planet. Let's face it, we're not a very technologically advanced race, so even if there was one it would be doubtful that we could successfully operate it, or fully understand how it works for that matter. All in all, the technology is scientifically plausible, assuming that we are wrong about our understanding of a few scientific details (which I might add is entirely within the realm of possibility).\n\nHowever, I feel it necessary to add that I don't think the people of Earth are ready for inter-steller travel just yet. Think about, most of the people of our planet believe that we are the only race in the entire Universe, and believe that anything contradicting this is either a lie or crazy theory. Stargate is even proof of this, note how each race they encounter (with a few exceptions) are well aware of the other races and planets among the stars, yet on Earth the Stargate program must be kept top-secret, why? Because the people of Earth can't (most, actually) can not handle the possibility of life outside our own solar system. This is the crux of our dilemma, the simple fact that the majority of humans on Earth are to close-minded to accept that there are other races besides us. \n\nWell, I kind of got off topic there, but mainly what I am trying to convey is that I believe there really are stargates or similar devices somewhere in the Universe, but I do not think that most Earth dwellers are ready for such a change.

My husband loves it, he's addicted. He's afraid that now the show is so popular that the writers my change the original time line and drag it out to keep making money.\n\nHe's says they all could be dead or it could all be a dream. He thinks the writers are playing mind games with the viewer.

I obtain thousands of theories on this show and appreciate its diversity. The show constantly redefines itself presenting many moral and valuable plot threads that constantly unravel beautiful. Many people have looked for one cumlative thread to connect the show together... I believe LOST is more than this. I believe the show will forever evolve and take on new shapes in the progress.\n\nCurrently, I question John Locke's alliegance as proven in the finale. I believe his vicious circle is not over and would not be surprised if he passes to the Others. The Others may be commanded by the black smoke object which Mr. Eko saw in the forest. This creature is vital for the show and clearly represents the barren form of outright evil and malciousness. \n\nArticles have shown that Jack was going to be killed this season, but ABC denied this to happen. Uncontrollable he became the central point of series and remains the appex of the stars. I question how long this will last. The occurance in the Pearl seems to enlighten me about Mr. Eko. He is the clear hero and the leader of the resistence team. My question is if he will survive to led the army in war as the Hatch exploded.\n\nSeason 2 centered around the discovery of the Hatch, the exploration of the Hatch, the questioning of the Hatch, the hatred of the Hatch, and the destruction of the Hatch. It is difficult to believe this central point of the show has disappeared. A new fulcrum must be discovered for the show to continue. BUT WHAT?\n\nNo longer am I considered with the mythology finally evolving, but the Others who made their grand appearence this season. I will they have become the stars of the show and will lead the next season. I am curious about the Hanso foundation as ABC's lost experience has included fake Hanso commercials as well as a fake interview of Alonso Hanso on "Jimmie Kimbel Live." This organization will break free this upcoming season. \n\nFinally, the core of Lost is LOVE. Desmond's utmost love for Pen will continue the plot lines to more crazy extremes in the third season. I can't wait.

I've often entertained two variations on this theme.\n\n1. Aliens land on the Washington Mall and reveal that "Earth" is simply a channel on what passes for their television. They have irrefutable evidence that the course of the planet's history has all happened according to the whims of some "producers." Their highest rated episode was "The Extinction of the Dinosaurs," but recently "Faith" has been very popular. They expose that religion as we know it is simply a plot device that they came up with. Would people still hold onto their faith? I bet they would.\n\n2. Aliens arrive to spread their own religion. Strangely enough, they are as amazed as we are that we both have versions of the same scripture. Their Emperor Jamestak Bibliotome is very similar to our own KJV of the Bible. Facing this evidence would I remain an atheist? Probably not.
