Proper Stargate Rewatch -- season 10 of SG-1

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary! Had I known about this site back then I would've joined then but I only recently found this and a few other Stargate sites after being a fan of the movie back in 1994. For the longest time I was member of the old Star Trek.com message boards and was the only place I posted because of way too many fan sites flooding the internet. Fortunately they had a Miscellaneous board that anything not Star Trek related could be posted and that's how I was able to post about Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, and a few other series and movies without a problem. So with saying that, yes I'm new to this board for a month now but not new to the process, I've been around these things for a long time.
A little about myself, I watched the 1994 Stargate movie on a Navy base in Yokosuka Japan when it was originally released and it was very popular back then with the Navy folks and I left the movie feeling they left it wide open for another movie or perhaps a series. In 1998 I finally transferred from Japan back to the States to Norfolk Virginia and found SG-1. I can't remember the SG-1 episode I first watched but it was sometime during the Fall of 1998 but I didn't understand what was going on since I didn't see the series from the beginning and only had recently heard of it after seeing something about it in Starlog. I tried watching the show a few more times but gave up because it made no sense.
Around 2003 after a friend suggested I give it another try, I was finally able to start from the beginning without being interrupted by a chaotic deployment schedule which really hampered all TV viewing from 1998-2002, I wasn't able to keep up with anything. I started my Netflix subscription and loaded up the first season of SG-1 and was immediately impressed and hooked. I just needed to see the series from the beginning to get into perspective of what was going on because Teal'c being on the team made no sense to me when jumping in around the second season with no backhistory. So before finishing my first batch of DVDs from Netflix I put the entire series in my que and binge-watched them until I was caught up with the series. I waited until the entire series boxset was available because I couldn't find all the DVDs at my local video stores and didn't even think about Amazon for them. So in 2010 I bought the entire SG-1 boxset and a few other series.
I also like the other series but SG-1 is my favorite.
As for which BBQ/steak sauce is best, I prefer my steaks with no sauce because I'm not ruining a $30.00+ steak by slathering a variation of catsup on it. I found out a long time ago when steaks are properly prepared you don't need sauces but I do like a little sea salt and fresh-ground pepper. Save the sauces for grilling burgers and dogs in your backyard but keep them away from steaks. Also since steak sauces were invented to hide the taste of bad meat, they really aren't required anymore.

I agree with you about not needing sauce on steaks. I prefer mine with just some salt on them (really can't stand pepper on anything though), and if they absolutely need to be cooked, it needs to be medium rare, burgers too, anything more than that is just overcooked and doesn't taste all that good to me.sigpic

Roast beef, prime rib, filet mignon, those are all good rare. The most seasoning/marininating I'll do to red meat is cooking flank steak or top round with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, along with salt.
I think they changed something with it. Idiots.

and yes salting BEFORE cooking allows the meat to absorb the salt and other seasonings and makes the meat more flavorful and tender if you use a tenderizer, Adolph's meat tenderizer. it can make "cheap" cuts of meat tender.
What is in Adolph's meat tenderizer?
Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch (Prevents Caking), and Bromelain (Tenderizer). Directions: Moisten meat. Shake Adolph's Tenderizer evenly over meat (about 1 tsp. ... For thicker cuts of meat, let stand 30 minutes, before cooking.
Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme mixture derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple plant.Last edited by epg20; 21 June 2020, 12:27 AM.

We changed the tenderizer from papain to bromelain in 2009; Dorothy; but we have not changed the amount of sodium. We’re sorry you were disappointed. ~Leslie
