Rodney destroys 3/4s of a solar system the only mention of it (aside from later one-liner jokes and pokes at Rodney's expense) is an over heard argument of Weir yelling at Rodney and Rodney apologizing to Shepard. I think the writers should have spent a bit more time on this particular storyline - or not used it at all.
Yes. The 7 year old got me hooked on Stargate Atlantis even tho I haven't finished with the original series of Star Trek.
I found the teasing about it later funny. But I thought John forgave Rodney too easily afterwards, even though he said he kind of understood and had seen fighter pilots die from similar hardheadedness (assuming I'm thinking of the right episode. SG1 and Atlantis blew a LOT of planets out of the sky)
Yea, the teasing later on was funny. But ..., I know it's supposed to be a lighthearted show, but ... even SG1 had it's serious moments - they took Dr Frazier's death very seriously. I think they could have done the same for this episode.
No, they blew it up deliberately to kill Apophis, who was expected to show up in that system with a big fleet. The explosion flung he and them to a distant point in space as they were trying to escape, where they were attacked by replicators. I think I'd call that era about the peak of SG1.
oh, yea. I remember now. But, she did it intentionally, not because she was being stubborn or thinking she knew more than the Ancients.
Apothis was subsequently killed when his replicator controlled ship impacted the atmosphere of a planet. The SG:1 crew pulled a similar stunt again when they as a 'gesture of good will" gave a series of StarGate addresses to that alien race which is turned out was destined to conquer Earth and sterilize most humans (Carter included). The first StarGate address was to the one falling into that black hole. As the Colonel said "they get steadily darker after that".
If Earth could figure out how to disable the gate from a black hole, I'm certain that other race could figure it out. and once the first group that ventured to the "darker" planets came back with snakes in their heads, that "superior" race quit using the addresses we provided them. and it served them right. They were just as bad as the Goa'uld in thinking they have a right to take over other planets and sterilize the indigent population. Still not seeing a problem with any of Carter's actions.
Might be more difficult. IIRC, the gate stuck connected to a gate on a planet going toward a black hole was a couple of years earlier in the series. So by time the "sterilizing aliens" would've dialed the "Black Hole Gate" it would've been much closer to the singularity and the effects would likely have been much more severe. Or we can hope.
SG-1 (in all of its incarnations) was as boring as whale shit. Not even the addition of Ben Browder and Claudia Black could save this festering turd of a franchise. Speaking of which, Farscape really needs to come back!
As far as I know, some have been on for 50 or 60 years - Is Guiding Light still on? and Days of Our Lives? Just because you or I like or dislike it, doesn't mean someone else can't think differently. and enough people like it, that it stayed on television. I like Stargate - all of them. So, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's "boring as shit." It just means you don't like it.
You mean the one where they go to some old spooky building and use a lot of shaky-cam and think that maybe they might possibly have sort of seen/felt/sensed a spectral presence, and one of them gets all wigged out and want to leave?
