GAT4 - Gaters Against T4(Spoilers! Including major season 7 spoilers)

[Bagpuss]

I'd love to think that our campaign really worked,but I don't think their PTB will ever admit it !

However this contest sounds good.I'm afraid I missed today's ep,but I'll make sure I watch next time.

[Hywel]

So T4 have a new comp where you can win slots on the show to inform them and the nation whats been happening in the eps of SG-1 and Enterprise.... Anyone think that might have been due to our efforts?

I'd like to see this competition as the presenters saying "We admit we're complete idiots, and now we're begging the SF fandom to help us!". Just 'cos it feels so good.

[Verona]

Ok so the snide comments might have stopped but I find Vernon and co annoying. and even my five year old nephew noticed something wrong while watching lockdown today when they cut Jack shooting Daniel not particually graphic or disturbing IMO. As for wanting an expert sorry think they will just rip any poor shrub (if I can borrow Jacks turn of phrase) to pieces for the general morons sorry(so not) public who watch T4.

[Zardak]

Testing 1,2,3 lol

[dipsofjazz]

I agree Verona. The fact that they cut the scene of Daniel in the Gate room meant that it made absolutely no sense of the dialogue in the infirmary scene with Jack, Sam and Teal'c about who shot Daniel. All we saw was Teal'c zatting Daniel, but we didn't see Jack shoot him after he'd gone mad shooting all the SFs. I'm sure there are people out there wondering what on earth was going on. *sigh* Channel 4 sure knows how to ruin this show!

[Verona]

The only respect Chan 4 will ever get from me is they bought SG1 to my attention by seeming to repeat the first two series constantly and even then I had to go out and buy the vids to make sense of it. that and sticking with it and eventually showing season three on.

[LoveYouBaby]

I too kinda hate the T4 presenters but they don't slag off SG-1 as much as they do with ENT, so nothing to worry about. You just gotta turn away before they do their thang, but, I don't usually watch SG-1 on T4 anyway.

Regarding this competition, I hope someone is brave enough to say - "Vernon Kay, you may be the presenter here, you may even present Radio One sometimes but you suck, and June, honey, go get your life sorted out.."

then it'll end with 'POWER TO THE PEOPLE' being chanted on screen, everybody leaves their homes and goes to their nearest city, chanting 'POWER TO THE PEOPLE'.

And we'll have one huge fiesta and tacos and kebabs and stuff...

I was surprised they didn't cut more,actually.Their editing is absolutely hopeless !

I think you'll be proved right.*sigh*

Agreed .

Edited to add reply :

ROTFL ! I'd love to see that,but of course,they have a "delay" on live tv..so it'd get snipped !

then it'll end with 'POWER TO THE PEOPLE' being chanted on screen, everybody leaves their homes and goes to their nearest city, chanting 'POWER TO THE PEOPLE'.

Hmmm...I wonder how long it'd be before we all got maced !

And we'll have one huge fiesta and tacos and kebabs and stuff...

Now you're talking !
I was thinking of starting a drinking game .One sip per annoyance committed onscreen by the presenters or when we notice scene cuts...the only snag is that by the third or fourth Act,we'd be so paralytic,we could be watching a DIY programme,and not spot the difference !

[TPL2005]

What first alerted me to the episode being edited was the sudden change of music and how O'Neill suddenly appeared around a corner. O'Neill then talking about how Daniel 'shot up the gateroom' only confirmed my suspicions.

[kiya]

they did show a fash back of Daniel shoting a guard in the gateroom.
i know the show is on 3pm and they are children watching, but after they cut the shoting bit the next second you see a NAKE man walking around the room in an ad?
Also i think it was last week they show about 3 or 4 minutes then cut to the ad after the openning title. bad editing

[dipsofjazz]

Well, this is a day to remember! Nobody has any complaints about the Stargate episode shown this afternoon on C4? Is anyone here entering the scifi fan contest?

[Bagpuss]

I thought the presenters were a bit more professional today.Vernon didn't prat around at the end either, and just stuck to the autocue script,when he was explaining the contest.(I saw his eyes flickering to it,though !)

As for entering ? Nope.Not me..!

[stargate barbie]

i haven't watched sg-1 on channel 4 in a while now. i can't stand the presenters they have on though. i don't want to be harsh but vernon kay is a bit simple, and the only time i can stand to watch june sarpong is if she's on something with jimmy carr, because he can put her in her place, so to speak.

my one lingering memory of their attrocius comments (and its been burned into my retina's by the way!), was after smoke and mirrors and they refered to sam carter as "he". i don't care if the presenters don't like the show's they present, nor do i care if they can't be bothered to watch even a teensy piece of the show. but for the sake of professional behaviour, the very least they could do is to get someone, a runner, an assistant, anybody to make some notes about what they're going to say about the show, just so that they don't make fools of themselves and attempt to do the same to their audience. if they have to give the impression that they've just watched the show that's been on, the least they should do is have essential details, like character gender for example, correct. if they can't be bothered doing that, then monkeys in trampy clothes could do a better (and more entertaining!) job.
personally, and i get the feeling i'm not alone on this, i find the T4 presenters to be the most unprofessional, and incompetent television presenters around. and i have no idea how they managed to get jobs on television.

*Chuckles to himself* I'd pay to see that.... Vernon and June out-presented by beings "lower" in the evolutionary ladder!

On a side-note, does anyone get filled with intense rage when watching T4? Right before SG comes on, you mentally prepare yourself, clench your fists, grit your teeth, glare at the screen as if they were in the room, just waiting for them to say something which then causes you to explode into a fit of rage and several mixtures of curse words?

Crap, just me then?!

[chyron]

Ok UK fans!

I've gotta say it, those damn T4 presenters are P***ing me off more and more with every week that goes by. They butcher episodes, they insult the fans, they talk out of their asses!

Who else here hates these SOBs?

T4? Please enlighten those of us on the other side of the pond.

T4? Please enlighten those of us on the other side of the pond.

British Terrestrial Channel 4's Stargate slot is incorporated into the Teen Sunday schedule.T4 is the name of that section.

This thread is for dissatisfied viewers of that section to have a vent,and for discussion of the honking howlers made by their presenters and the "Kiddie friendly" cuts they make to SG episodes.

i used to, but then i just started to tune in a few minutes late and tune out just before the end credits came up, just in case. i rarely watch on channel 4 anyway. fortunately in ireland sky one is part of our standard tv package, and i've bought all of the dvds up to season 8, which i will be purchasing when the box set comes out, so i don't rely on channel 4 for stargate. thank god, because i think i would have had an annurism by now!

Oh the agony!

[Bagpuss]

It can be. This week's was ok,but not many other showings ,unfortunately !

[Chaka's_Mum]

I was somewhat intrigued by Vernon Kay's little speech during the end credits yesterday afternoon - asking people to compete for the privilege of being allowed on T4 to do the post-ep analysis for them (thereby saving the clueless presenters from triggering any more howls of disapproval from fans over each staggering ineptitude they commit). I only came into it halfway through - did I imagine it, or was he claiming that they weren't clueless presenters who trigger howls of disapproval from fans over each staggering ineptitude they commit? I hope I was imagining it - after all, I might have choked otherwise.

One assumes that this will be someone who has only ever seen the butchered T4 versions of the episodes and will not say something like: 'of course the pivotal plot point of this episode - without which none of the rest of the season will make sense - was XYZ. But no one will know what I'm talking about because T4's editors chopped it.'

Actually - I rather hope they do. Just for the fun of it.
