MacGyver guest stared, too.
Which guest did he stare at?
👀
Better than seven of nine. Fight me.
Swoon
Having trouble focusing on the meme itself. Cause she's pretty.
I don’t why, but trying to load this low quality gif of a 15 year old mid budget sci-fi show has brought my phone to its fucking knees.
I can feel the heat from the cpu through the case, and the keyboard was lagging a good 10 characters behind while typing the first sentence of this reply.
What kind of gif is this?
Just a link from Tenor. Not sure why it's so load bearing.
Huh, going to the site directly is fine.
I can only assume my app isn’t handling the link well.
Gonna submit a big report to Memmy, because that was excruciating
Tried linking to Stamets post, then his page for a different post and both failed. Connect may be the culprit.
What is this from?
Stargate Atlantis.
Picardo plays a no-nonsense special ops commando, fighter pilot, neuroscientist who is also dashing with the ladies.
So, just the Doctor.
I must be on crack because I distinctly remember picardo being one of the “bean counter civilian oversight” people constantly trying to shut down the stargate project.
You forgot moments like him tossing a satchel of explosives to the alien queen and saying “Bomb voyage!” before making a jump through Stargate and landing superhero posed in Atlantis?
Was that the episode where he seduces the village elder's daughter after winning 10 arm wrestling matches in a row at the tavern?
His character had a wild shift when they brought him to Atlantis.
Is it weird that I spent many hours watching the series and have no memory of it?
How could you forget the absolutely insane CSI parody that was the finale lead in?
Because I'm also in this state, I want to say it's not weird.
I've been meaning to watch it, it's supposed to be good right?
Stargate is... its own thing, but if you like it then Stargate Atlantis is good.
Personally, I never felt like any of it was ever as good as even mediocre Trek, and it definitely has this military fetishism / combat focus that I didn't care for as much, but there are some pretty good and fun episodes as well and there's a ton of Trek/90s scifi alums you'll recognize (including Connor Trinneer playing a big bad that is definitely not Trip Tucker).
Stargate is great SG1 is a lot of fun and knows it’s generally not to be taken seriously Atlantis is big swings of good and just fuckterrible Universe sucks hard
Atlantis is the definition of “pretty okay, I guess.”
It’s what you watch when you want to watch SG-1 but also are burnt out on SG-1.
If you like SG1 you'll like Atlantis, because it's basically the same show with different characters. Stargate Universe is... different.
Stargate Universe is their attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Battlestar Galactica and Degrassi.
I've heard the second half is better, but I could never get past the first season. Entirely too much melodrama, and not the fun kind they had in SG-1, with good characters and interesting plot lines. Just straight up melodrama.
I forced myself to watch it just to see if it gets better in the second season and it sorta does. There's less melodrama, but it doesn't start feeling like Stargate until six episodes from the finale. And the finale isn't very satisfying.
Yeah. Sadly season 2 of SG: Universe is just good enough to make it sad that they cancelled it after it started to find it's legs.
If season 2 was season 1 we'd have seen a fan campaign that would have revived it.
Agreed!
See now, for me the first season is so good, better than most other sci fi, and this even though it starts with the base of mazlowes hierarchy of needs, air, water, food.... Meanwhile the second season is some rubbish with aliens and other stuff ruining the plot, and ends suddenly when it runs out of money.
I find SG1 too corny for repeat watching, SG Atlantis is better but not great. But SG Universe I have watched uncountable times. Enjoy it a lot.
Which just goes to show everyone is different.
Universe is a lot like Star Trek Discovery (Season 1): it deviates strongly from the source material by leaning hard into the "everybody kind of hates and/or distrusts everyone else" trope. At the same time, it explains some mysteries and expands the lore, so it's canon despite not being anyone's favorite.
I'm still salty they cancelled it right as it was getting good.
Sg1 is so good imo. It's like lower decks is to the rest of trek. Still thought-provoking and interesting at its best, but at its worst it's just a whole lot of cheesy fun. Voyager straight up copied some episodes from it, or at least was "heavily influenced" by episode concepts.
