Robert Carlyle/Dr Nicholas Rush Thunk/Appreciation thread
Both of my children are rewatching SGU. For me, it's the upteenth time, but for them it's the first. They both think it's the best of all SG franchise. I'm constantly amazed at the extra things that I'm picking up that I missed the other times.
You know, I have been meaning to ask about the other SG series. I tried to watch SG1 back when it first aired and could not really get into it. I hear it got much better. Wondering when I should jump in? I have heard a lot of people say just suffer through it...but thats a lot of episodes to watch!!!
It was so easy to get into SGU, the theme, characters, Rush.... and then once I started I couldn't put it down. It was really crazy.
I am pissed, Imageshack is suddenly saying they will delete all my images if I don´t buy a Premium account!
They never say that I have a 500 picture limit and now they´ll delete everything I put so much time and effort into by making screen caps and upload them. All my GW picture will be gone.
I had a much broader limit 2 years ago, and now, that.

Personally, for me, I never got into it except for SGU. I knew I had the first season of SG1 for my son from years ago. I decided I'd watch it with him last November. I had a lot of problems with it such as why only four people that's sent out to save the galaxy all the time? I also felt that Teal'C was the stereotype of the typical black superman. Remember, I grew up in the '70's where blaxploitation movies reigned supreme. AlexanderD helped me understand that there were truly men like that in the military. On and on. But I liked it once I let go of my suspension of beliefs. What I loved was how incredibly smart Sam Carter was, and how the women were all intelligent people. Yeah, of course the cleavages was shown, but it wasn't a bad show at all. It started to suffer when some of the cast of characters changed, but the writers never lost their intelligence and especially their humor.They even had a few eppies where they made fun of themselves and it was absolutely hysterical! We went on to SGA and the character, Rodney McKay and a few others were so incredibly well written, that I can understand the venomous reactions of fans when it was cancelled. I'll tell you, it helped a lot to understand the history of Stargates. I didn't know what a Go'uald or a Wraith was, but there were references to that in SGU. So, yeah, go for it! Two of the actors in SG1 were in "Farscape" and there was an eppie where they really made fun of themselves using the Farscape concept. So of course I got the whole series of that one and we are gonna watch that after SGU. So what if it's a lot of shows to watch. You got anywhere to be right now?

So sorry to hear that, hun. Try switching it all to Photobucket.

How very true I will have to give it a go. I think what turned me off about the 1st season of SGU was..well, I loved the movie and could not get past how different it was. But It was a long time ago, I was impressed with how long the series ran and how Dr Jackson changed so much. That much I know and am excited to see in the series, and it is great that they have such strong female characters. Carter is one sassy lady.
We will just have to start at the beginning I suppose and go from there.
Also, your telling me you have never seen Farscape???!! or....?
Farscape is AMAZING. I think I missed the last season and need to go back for that, but I loved every minute of that show, its so funny and quirky. Maybe I should start with that episode to get back into it
I cant get off of our SGU binge, we keep putting it back on as "background noise" have Twin Destinies on now. Can't get enough Rush
Glad you have been enjoying the show with your son, I know you will love Farscape. Lots of kick ass ladies in that one!
