Update on my Stargate obsession

[FatherRob]

Good evening, everyone...

Well, my new SG friends, I've disregarded my bank account and common sense, and have heretofore viewed the first three seasons of SG1.

Coming to Stargate, I have been a huge B5 and TREK fan, as well as a fan of the original Outer Limits, the 2001 series, and the Planet of the Apes series (among others).

What amazes me is how different Stargate feels than most other Science Fiction. At any rate, I hope to get seasons 4/5/6 on Thursday evening.

I did manage to get a local sports bar in Chicago to air Stargate Atlantis for me, but there was so much noise that I really couldn't hear much. Oh well. Par for the course.

Umm...
...good for you?

[Elwe Singollo]

Hehe, i share your obsession Although i wouldn't watch Atlantis in a bar, because of yah, the whole talking talking, haha...

[Newbie]

As a Trek and Planet Of The Apes (the old series ) fan, I know what you talkin about, it does feel different! it's really sad that you didn't really get to see Atlantis, I hope you'll find some way to watch it agian! And I'm jeloust that you got the DVDs, I want those for my BIRTHDAY!!!

[Hellcat]

Fully understandable.

I'm a big StarTrek and B5 fan as well - Stargate is so different in so many ways.
First thing is it's playing "now" in our time, nah it's simply great.

I have season 1 - 7 and the bigscreen movie here in my shelf and I'll definately will get my hand on S8 and Atlantis once the are released

At any rate, I hope to get seasons 4/5/6 on Thursday evening.

Now THAT'S ambitious!! Hope you're still conscious by Friday!

I agree...Stargate SG-1 is different than most scifi. The fact that it isn't futuristic and it doesn't take itself too seriously are big plusses for me. I hope you find a way to see the Atlantis premiere without the sports bar atmosphere.

[Hellcat]

[...] and it doesn't take itself too seriously [..]

Well yeah, that are not really taking them very serious
They are constantly making fun of themselfes, best example: "Wormhole Extreme", the 100th epsisode

And yet nicely placed between the lines they are joking at themself, damn I love this <thumbsup>
(second quote in your sig is a very nice example for this too, BTW )

If only i could afford both the stargate DVDs and my new hobby!

[VirtualCLD]

If only i could afford both the stargate DVDs and my new hobby!

BTW: What's your new hobby? Is it building life-size stargate that move and/or light up?!

I know I can't afford allot the DVDs yet... it's been a toss up between B5 and SG-1. So far, I'm concentrating on Stargate, starting witht he movie. Arg, those school loans look sooo high when compared to my income....

[aAnubiSs]

Spammin these forums and proposing to me is his hobbies.

He's giving me gifts nonstop.

[Mio]

Oh.

I'm trying to automate my room.

The lights, A/C, etc.

You know, this stuff ain't cheap. A PIC16C745 is like $11.....

I know what you mean, being a recent convert to SG-1, being a long-standing Trek Fan ever since TNG's pilot (and for the record, I do watch Enterprise), and trying to catch up on Farscape as well, but that's for another thread somewhere.

I just did the same thing for the first three seasons of SG-1, and should have three seasons within two weeks max. (Seasons 2 and 3 are being shipped to me, since I got a great deal on them.) I am also looking for a good deal for Season 4 in my local area, but it's taking time. (Probably since Season 4 is the first chocked with special features. )

[Hellcat]

The first seasons also had specials.... at least here in Germany....

And yes, I HAVE THEM ALL Movie and season 1 - 7

Welcome to GateWorld, Father Rob!
(From a fellow Hoosier.)

Did you manage to see Atlantis for real?

I can't explain the draw of Stargate, really. Though I certainly agree with what's been posted here. In short, while I'd never argue that it's the greatest show ever made, it sure has drawn me in. The fan connections have helped cement that, for sure.

So, welcome--and I say: Obsess away!
