Stargate is better than Star Trek.

I admit that SG borrowed a lot from ST (replicators which can instantly make stuff, warp drive, beaming people, etc...) but some how ST just bores the shit out of me while SG still seems interesting. :libertystatue:

Though I do wish every planet the Stargate people visit didn't just happen to look exactly like Vancouver, BC. :terrorist:

That's because Canadia.

Eh.

Star Trek: cultural phenomenon with iconic characters that that has endured for decades.

Stargate: mildly amusing 90s sci-fi series of shows, stemming from a mostly forgotten movie, and memorable only to a few diehard fans.

They've had 3-4 Stargate tv shows, three made for TV movies, and one big screen film. Sure, it's only been around for continuously for 20 years instead of off and on for 50 years but it still seems to have a fair amount of staying power.

Which Star Trek series lasted for 10 seasons again?

How many parodies of Stargate has SNL done?

How many items from Stargate are in the Smithsonian?

How many theatrical movies (so far) have come from Stargate?

I like them both.

I want to ravage Teryl Rothery.

Hmm. I don't know about that.

I haven't really seen much Stargate to be honest.

Be gone, fool!

I like to see Stargate as the television successor of Star Trek. As has been said, it borrows many of the ideas. The thing I like the best with Stargate is the gradual development of the story/arc/plots/technology/etc. Things were well planned over the first five seasons, which I believe was its initial run on Showtime. Seasons 7 to 10 were lesser in quality, IMO, part of which I blame on a shift to the Sci-Fi network, which has a "genre" audience and the show became a bit repetative.

Fuck Stargate.

I'd tap Amanda Tapping. You seen the hoots on that broad?

I'd have a hard time choosing between SG1 or TNG Blu-Rays if I was stranded on a desert island.

Star Trek replicators and Stargate replicators are vastly different things.

Really? So if a character steps up to the Stargate version and asks for a chicken salad sandwich, is he gonna get a live cat instead?

No, he's going to get sprayed in the face with acid until he dies, and then broken down for his constituent molecules. Replicators in the Stargate universe are grey goo, except their smallest unit is the size of a Lego brick, so they're vulnerable to shotguns.

Of course, given that they eventually evolve a la the Cylons, yeah, there's actually a chance you'd get back a (nanobot-based) live cat.

No.

More explosions and space battles?

I will pee on your mother.

SG-1 was sure as fuck better than Voyager and Enterprise.

I enjoyed Stargate a lot, all three versions of it.

Star Trek was hit or miss at times.

Ah, those Replicators. The "rabid living Legos" Replicators. Tried to forget about those. Succeeded. But (Ruk voice) "Yoooouuuuu brought the eeeeeviiillll baaaack!"(/Ruk voice)

Star Trek is obviously more influential, but I would bet good money that on average people in their 20's have watched more Stargate than Star Trek, and more people would describe themselves as a fan of it.

They're different beasts and each have their highs and lows.

I like 'em both.

Speaking of Vancouver and SG's panache for making every alien world look just like it... This video is how time lapse film should be done. I normally don't give Canadians much credit given that they are a fake country but in this case they did a damn good job.

I note that it is the hippy dippy liberal part of Canada which produces the good shit, as always.

Those clouds in that video aren't actually clouds/fog.

It's smoke from all the marijuana-puffing hippies.

P.S. - Clyde never should have moved this to MC. It's clearly a troll thread.

SG is entertainment without the stale 'message' Trek tries to push. It never strived to be more when it was good, and it failed miserably when it got boring but 'deep' with SG:U. I'm not a die hard fan but I do watch the occasional episode more often than Trek these days

So, can we still say Visionrazer in this thread?

I have, visionrazer, I have. Very nice.

Col. O'Neill: "General Hammond, request permission to beat the crap out of this man."

You can't find camp like that in most Star Trek.

I think my favorite SG1 episdoe was "200."
