large scale battles in stargate

[LT. COL. John Sheppard]

should there have been more large battles in the SG franchise?
off the top of my head the large scales in remember are
battle at the supergate
battle of Antarctica
the battle from the Episode heroes
the siege part 2&3
the battle of area 51 and battle above earth (atl enemy at the gate)
the battle of the episode Be All My Sins Remember'd
battle of Icarus base
and Lucian attack on Destiny

No. Those battles are expensive to make

Um no. SG1 did fine without big space battles in the early years

How do you figure that?

There was a fairly large battle in season 9 where I believe they were trying to rescue Teal'c from Baal, I believe. That was the one where I felt that they were using Jackson in inappropriate roles (he is too valuable to risk in a rescue mission). But whatever, that's just me .

Um??? Really? I thought it was a mixture of viewing figures, changing airing dates and Syfy's interest in cooking shows....

There was a nice battle in Unending too. I like the mix and having them and not having them. If they are done well, ala ST 09 battles, I cannot complain.

big battles suck up budget. since every big battle needs a cheap episode to compensate, it would've meant a whole lot more fillers. this is undersireable, and therefore i think it's done right.

additionally, CGI has gotten cheaper over the years, so more of it can be used now. in the first few years it would've been as expensive to make a ship in space as it now is to make a battle.

To listen to Syfy speak, CGI is still quite expensive.
