      Yep exactly, and we'll throw certain shippers and huge fans of certain characters a bone, but don't worry those who don't care for it/them - we just have to hit the reset button!

        What they said Welcome, desert fox. I felt the same way before I found this thread. It is great to know that you're not alone, that it's not just you.

          Mostly S9 & S10 make me want to cry.


          I've been laughing. But *at* the show, not with the quips. Actually what I've been laughing at is my (somewhat) witty Pythoning of much of S9. And a few choice eps of S10.

          This 'woman with issues' is *still* raging about "our hero" "the new leading man" Cam. actually being given leadership of team SG-1.

          Sexism hopefully subconscious sucks. Hey! It could happen! Look at Irresponsible. How could the B@B not see that as the equivelant of using a rape drug on his wives?

              In fact I haven't watching SG-1 since "Lost City" ( That is when I gave up hope. I mean , a carrier group destroyed , a huge battle over Antartica between spaceships occured and nobody else realized ? ) But reading about stupid roles of BB and CB just killed me. Farscape was perfect. Really perfect. But cancelling it in favor of silly seasons of SG-1 plus Atlantis and getting its stars for stupid roles in SG-1 was more than I could bear.

              RDA made the right choice by leaving the show it seems.

                Yea, a lot changes (for the bad) occured when Coop took the reigns of the show, and unfortuenately continued on into s9 and 10 his new brain child

                  there was a very definite shift from 'just MIGHT be happening' realism to 'let's have fun' spoofyness

                  Had the new show stood on its own, i likely coulda looked at it like Dr who...so campy that it's fun. however to alter the show's recipe so much, just didn't sit well with me. it was too much of an alteration for my tastes, adn my enjoyment of the show has faded more and more as they've camped it up

                    That is so true, time travel and alternate realities are the biggest cop out.

                        I had to come in here having just seen unending and it was terrible IMO. I would go so far as to say the worst ever ep, and I don't say that lightly.

                        Spoiler:
                        The team were stuck on the ship for like 50 years and yes Daniel and Vala kissed, and were together pretty much the whole time.
                        There was plenty of icky shippiness thrown in, I haven't cringed so much at a stargate ep ever, I mean much as I am an anti shipper S/J ship had nothing on this, you just couldn't ignore it here, of course at the end they hit that magic reset button and went back in time and only Teal'c remembers what happened.

                        And they effectively killed off the Asgard which I can't forgive them for, how can they do that to Thor No suprises but they didn't even mention Jack once, I mean come on the final ep ever and this is what they come up with.


                        To be honest after seeing that I'm glad the show was cancelled, I just don't care anymore, the team that I started watching the show for is long gone, and I really can't care about the movies either. As far as I'm concerned the Real SG1 got stuck in an alternate timeline after Moebius and this lot are just clones. Can you tell I'm in a bad mood, I know it's just a TV show

                        RIP Stargate SG1

                          I read the thread. I must say, I'm disapointed with the Asgard plot twist. especially since Thor was supposed to be in one of the the movies. The whole thing sounded very shippy and then they did the magic reset button in a vain attempt not to piss of the non shippers.

                          Spoiler:
                          Gaining the asgard technology is a shot in the foot. Now, they will have even more reasons to time travel and such. Thus, screwing with the show in the movies even more.


                          I will probably watch the episode--but not go out of my way to see it.

                          I agree the show ended for me in season 8.

                          long live repeats! So say we all!

                            The series finale sounds very similar to Moebius.
                            Spoiler:
                            Stuff happens to the team. Except it really doesn't. Time travel/AU, suckas!!

                            Also, it features Vaniel. That's a big slam right there, IMO.


                            Now, I haven't watched any of the second half of s10. Would anyone be so kind as to recommend what to watch and what to avoid once it hits the US?

                              I'd watch "The Shroud," mainly because of Jack.

                                And yet, they pissed off the shippers by

                                having Daniel and Vala hook up. Whether they remember or not, they still did us S/J shippers wrong

                                Absolutely. S9 and 10 never occurred. That was a spin-off that got cancelled quickly. SG-1 ended with the true team fishing in Minnesota.
