Why is this show so based?
>Why is this good show so good?
Probably because it's good.

Stargate = farscape
There's room to love both
GOOLD?

Farscape was good when it was good, but it missed the mark a lot. The characters and writing were all over the place, and I think it took the writers a long time to really figure out what they wanted to do with Criton. It also had a pretty bad finale.
Scorpio remained the one sustaining force in the show, though, especially after he died and was just a hallucination. I probably would've lost interest during the slow bits if it weren't for that beautiful motherfucker.
Stargate was... different. It was less "deep" to be sure, and I don't think you could technically call the writing good, but it always delivered. The characters were great, everyone had chemistry with everyone - even the one-off side characters were memorable. Some of the best lore in any sci-fi show - It was just the right mix of everything.
>mfw people talking all these supposedly good sci-fi shows I'll never be able to watch due to lack of proper free time
>>70554450
Why compare the two when the last few seasons of Babylon 5 are clearly superior? No one will ever beat G'kar and Londo in their prime.
>>70555337
Imagine all the time you could have by watching shows instead of browsing 4chan, anon.
>>70555402
I'm just browsing and posting on /tv and /sp like 30-40 min per day, not a big deal, I don't spend hours here like most of anons.
>>70555357
Anon, I just started Babylon 5, been burning hard and I'm close to the season 1 finale.
Honestly, I don't know what everyone was talking about when they said that the early episodes were corny and slow. They were pretty good, and it's just been getting better and better.
I'm pumped as fuck for whatever Chrysalis is about, everyone says it's gonna be huge and the little psychic girl who's a terrible actress but promptly left forever dropped the first hint about it.
Because it's prime Sci-fi that was made just before the era of large, deatiled universed (made by lots of background development through classic "problem of the week" 22 episode seasons production)
Since Stargate ended, tv has shifted into 8 episode single arc seasons where the universe lacks scope and it feels like a 16 hour movie that takes a year to fully come out.
>>70555464
That's one episode of a show you could be watching, anon! Get your shit together!
>>70555503
It's a comparative distinction, anon, you'll understand later. They're certainly not bad, just incomplete.
It becomes so much more once the writers really figure out where they want to go, and the true lore and story starts shining through.
Just be prepared for a lot ofQUEUE SPARKLING SOUND EFFECT.

>not watching and shitposting simultaneously
>>70555528
But I can't, I need muh daily dose of 4chen.
>>70555844
But if you watch SG-1 then you'll have much more fun pooting in these threads. You need to alternate days between watching shows and pootin on this webzone yere.

I no longer understand where I am.

In what order should I consume

Shut up nerd.

RDA
Is the scene where Teal'c interrogates that scientist just by frowning at him the best scene?
>>70556539
The movie is not 100% necessary to understand the show. They do a good enough job explaining in the first episode. That being said, its worth a watch just a the basic source material. Though the show quickly shifts to a lighter tone early on.

the things i would have done to carter if i were stuck in a time loop
I'm sorry I have to link this, i found this by accident looking for the B5 chime sound effect.

Don't watch this if you haven't seen the show but, my fucking face hurts. I'm 40 minutes in and my face hurts so much. This is the funniest panel I've ever seen.
>>70556624
Its up there.
Also....How about we do nothing? is a good one.

Lots of the stuff about the gate design made no sense in the context of a movie
Like how the gate is treated like a combination lock in that it only goes to Abydos (they say they tried a bunch of permutations)yet they explain the coordinate system. And the chevrons were spaced in such a way to allow the 8th and 9th even though the ides of needing more than 7 symbols was never addressed
Glad it was turned into a series, the Stargate idea was wasted on a single movie
Also, strap in, fuckers, cause Roland Emmerich wants to revisit the franchise
>>70556770
Agreed, the series really did a lot better explaining the concept as a whole.
>revisit
oh God, here we go...if I say I wont go see it before its made, will the internet be mad at me?
>>70556666
Quads confirms this opinion correct
>>70553826
fuck i miss this show
>>70556770
Emmerich and Devlin have been claiming they're going to revisit the franchise for at least a decade. MGM never seems interested, so I'll believe it when I see it.
