SG-1 referred to in Republican Commentary

[Ugly Pig]

Great post. Why don't you send it to the author of the column?

[Bagpuss]

Sad to say,judging from the "Article",the author probably wouldn't even try to open her mind to ANY criticism of her sad, little, ignorant opinions!

IMO,best to express our opinions of the article here,and save the postage costs involved...............Ms C Devine-Molin can keep her rather flawed views!

Ignorance is best ignored,anyway!

Well, I've always thought there was too much political BS of any stripe on Stargate, anyway.

I'm sure the press coverage will end up doing the show more good than harm. "Even bad press is good press." *rolls eyes*

See, I guess it's d**ned if you do, and if you don't.

I was disappointed the first time I saw "Politics", that Kinsey was so evil. I'd thought his stance was interesting and that the show could've explored the political ramifications of the Stargate program, especially regarding the secrecy, which (as many a thread here has witnessed) could lead to some intelligent debate.

And, of course, some silly debate (also as many a thread has witnessed...)

But, I digress...

The show *didn't* go that way, and I can live with that.

But the irony is, that for all these years, they've chosen to address mainly the "safer" political issues, like "don't lock your women in a yurt" and "don't steal from indigenous populations"--but they've pointedly shied away from partisan politics, by twisting the political issues into ones of personal character and keeping parties well out of the picture.

But they still catch flack. And not well-aimed flack at that.

(...Do yurts lock?)

Dear God, as if Stargate was the only show to take a pot shot at the Bush administration.

I think Jack said it best once when he said, "Puh-leaze."

[Bogopimp]

ROFLs at right wing whinging

SG-1 part of left wing conspiracy?? No wonder I like it so much.

Great post. Why don't you send it to the author of the column?

If I thought it would do any good. Or, more importantly, if I thought she'd understand the humor. Ah, well maybe I'll save the postage and email it.

(Re-reading that I can tell I was in a worse mood after work that I'd originally thought! )

It was apparently a veiled reference, albeit from the typical liberal
viewpoint, to Vice-President Cheney as an unethical man who was
selling out his nation for contracts with big-business (Halliburton).
Yeah, yeah they'll say I'm reading things into the episode that
weren't there, but given the overall context of the dialog, I think
my impressions are right on target. Frankly, I resent these types of
manipulations, which clearly should not have been incorporated into a
popular TV series during an election year. But again, these liberal
activists in the entertainment field think that it's their right to
engage in improprieties when they're taking potshots at
conservatives.

Last I heard, Being famous didn't require an individual to give up their right to freedom of speech...

[Livi2Jack]

Well, then, it is a good thing they didn't quote Jack telling Kinsey that Kinsey was "...a limp di..ked sob."

[petzke_42]

I don't remember that!? When did he say that??

[Torley]

All I know is I wanna see Kinsey, a fictional character, get his comeuppance

Would be cool to see the Asgard abduct him and him totally freak out.

[Bagpuss]

I don't remember that!? When did he say that??

Jack "said" that to Kinsey, during the bit in "Heroes" Pt1, when they faced-off in front of the cameras, at the SGC.

(The bit where all the sudden noise and confusion left us to lip read what they were saying to each other! )

I've already posed the Q in the "20 q's for Jack"thread and that was the answer! LOL! Go watch the episode and see if you spot it!

Still can't get the point of that article,btw!
She's onto a loser if she thinks her POV will change anything in RL Politics!

I mean,does she think Stargate SG-1 REALLY holds any sway in tilting Voter opinion?

*Imagines masses of Republican voters hiding out at "Safe Houses" so they can watch Stargate SG-1 if Bush wins again ! * LOL!!

[petzke_42]

Haha...that is the coolest thing ever....Jack rules.
