    I was obviously talking about the other SG shows, dearie.

      I know. Just saying that Origins didn't have that kind of money to play with.

        It had money?

        I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

              I was really looking forward to it, going to back to the beginning again and seeing something new.......

              But oh dear, did that excitement die quickly.

              The special fx were terrible, what special effects there were that is.
              The acting was poor, the dialogue poor and the story line, in my opinion, was even worse.
              I'll never forget the 1960/1970's style batman spinning screen at the end of each episode, lol.

              It just seemed like a complete waste of time, money and tarnished the stargate franchise forever in my opinion.

                If it's any consolation, that spinning effect is not present in the digital feature download.
                But I guess that's too late for you now.

                Well, I'll be sure to let Stargate Infinity know there's a new contender in town.

                  Lol funny that Adam mentions that, it was the same story for me. At first I was like, meh, it's not that high quality but its SG I guess, the actors are decent... *end of episode 1* Really? Spinning effect? Guuuhh


                  Well, I'll be sure to let Stargate Infinity know there's a new contender in town.
                  I watched 5 minutes of this crap and nearly burned my screen after.

                    It is worth of watching the Stargate : Origins. Some part of it is really-really bad, but some part of it is quite enjoyable.

                    I can also suggest the Stargate : Infinity, when you have a calmed 20-25 minutes. Don't expect anything serious as the gate animation is really awkward, but they named the alien races and the characters are also so-so acceptable. The stories are really didactic, but it was meant for children to educate about different values. 5-6 episodes were really creative and entertaining out of 26, so I would give a try.

                      Infinity was nothing more than a fun, non-canon kids show. Not to actually be taken seriously.

                        According to one review, the further you are from being 5 years old, the less likely that you'll enjoy it.

                          Have you seen it at all? Desperate times, desperate SG episodes. It is really not as bad as it seems. The drawings are much better than the comics... We can make an "Infinity rewatch" thread if you need my emotional support.

                            I haven't seen it yet, but I'm planning to fit it in with rewatch.

                              Since it doesn't connect to the canon, you can start it any time.
