I have watched a few episodes of Stargate because virginal tribalwar nerds said...
- Thread starter Kurayami
- Start date
Oh, you so DID NOT SAY THAT?
KRY!
Escape from NY?
Big Trouble Little China?
Kurt is too cool for school.
Those are indeed pillars of acting which all other movies are judged against.
Why would you do that, TseTse?
first couple seasons suck, except for ep 1x01 where there's full nudity
actually...
I've just been watching whatever they've been putting on Sci-Fi for the past week or so.
the first season or so is kinda "hey this is serious business" and isn't that great
then they let richard dean anderson spread his wings and he pretty much rules for the majority of the rest of the seasons

So explain to me why it's good.
I assume that in the end the hot MILF chick blows up the space vampires and that MacGuyver kills off the weird harmonizer people and the nanomachine people.
ATM Atlantis looks far more entertaining than the original.
Even if there is a Canadian in it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger could have acted both of those roles. Need I say more? Add on the fact that RDA is a better actor than most Hollywood stars to begin with, and Kurt isn't looking so hot.
Negative ghost rider. Michael Shanks, who plays Daniel Jackson, voices Thor. (aka, the gray dude)

In the first season, both RDA and Michael Shanks were trying to mimic other actors rather than just play the characters in their own way. Once they got tired of that, both characters became infinitely more badass. Carter also went from a homely, dorky chick with a retarded haircut, to an actual attractive chick with quite a bit more sass, but that change occurred much later. As did Teal'c's change from the silent guy who does whatever anyone tells him to a much more intelligent and vocal character who actually did things for himself. The first seasons had more creative episodes, but the acting and characters in general were noticeably worse.
That pretty well sums up what I was going to say.
That all being said, I've always dug on the Stargate series, yes Atlantis as well. (although I swear to god I always fucking hated Dr.Weir, she was that bitch from Earth 2, not really, but that's who she reminded me of.)
*EDIT:* In reality I only compare them because of the way the played the characters, something about it just bothered the shit out of me. And besides the chick from Earth 2 is way hotter than Dr.Weir.
SGA - Dr.Weir (Torri Higginson)
Earth 2 - Devon Adair (Debrah Farentino)
She also played the double agent psychologist on Eureka 1st and 2nd seasons.
