[SPOILER]The time ship recently recovered by SG-1 ("It's Good To Be King"), however, provides other options. With Jack in command of the mission (and needed to pilot the Ancient ship), SG-1 takes the ship 5,000 years into Earth's past -- during Ra's reign in ancient Egypt![/SPOILER]

Fair enough.
Teach me to trust a (not really) football commentator when it comes to sci fi shows.
(I wouldn't know myself, since I've always thought Stargate was a bit crap. ;))

And you've always been wrong.

Yer getting a bit testy there, grouchy smurf.
Don't worry, I'm sure you're not the only one who likes it, you'll get over the fact that i think it's crap soon enough.

I watched the original Galactica series when I was a tad younger, and as with all 'remakes' I was a bit wary of the new series.
Then I watched the mini-series... and I happened to like it. Gaff is a wonderful Adama, Starbuck and Baltar are my other favorites... too bad my favorite character from the original series didn't make it. Then again, not many people might want to see the new Baltar hump an old IL model Cylon... ;)

I'm surprised that I couldn't find one that already exists.
Who’s seen it? Speak! I require discussion!
Oh, and to put things into (my) perspective:
TNG: Cheesy, but important.
DS9: Best Trek Ever, on par with Trek6.
Voyager: Enjoyable, but stupid
Ent: Vomit
B5: Pure Joy
Firefly: A beautiful gift to scifi fans
Farscape: Rarely saw, but liked when I did
Andromeda: Puke
Stargate: People watch this crap?
Earth Final Conflict: Great 1st season, crap after that
I agree,
however:
1.TNG: cheezy and not enough
Olivia d'Abo. ST ain't that important: It's Wagontrains in Space/Cowboy Peace Corps fearing the Other with a Captain who makes funny and wins the alien babes.
2.DS9: Quark and titties and the black kid plus René Auberjonois; dump the rest.
3. Another Forehead Makeup Show; captain and some others are good, stoooopid writing, fake futuristic Frenchoid Résistance movements aside.
Lose the love schmaltz and make some real horn that matters to real people.
Which is where the new Battlestar Galactica comes in: it's fabulously honest and great and maybe the most insidious garbage also. To sell commercial product, TV shows have had to become great.........to sell product......to get our attention.
Go to a play, Brucie. :erg:
4. ST:Entness is unnecessary. Shoulda been caled
Star Trek- NEXT!!.
5. Babylonics Five: total agreement, paradise
with Billy Mumy. \o/
Got lotsa the obscure one-off TV movies, 'Sleeping in Light' and the like.
6. Firefly I know not, dammit.
7. Farscape has the goofy and
some nifty but it falls down into Americanized trope too fast. Pseudo-liberal sextease slop that's insulting and unsatisfying emotionally. Tease for cheese and customers. Commerce.
CGI can't solve everything. Not every alien will be a quirky human in disguise or evil, or BOTH.
8. Andromeda.............glossyshinyyummy.......................... puke.
9. Stargate:
humans went somewhere to work on this Slurm© and get paid???? Guns, guns, and Middle Easterners are sweaty, evil, smartshifty and have to get rubbed out so we can steal their tech. Oy. Oops, make it allegorical. Egyptians in space, yeah........that's the ticket, and a Michael Jackson weirdo is the leader. Make a series out of it and milk it forever. Yeah.
10. Earf: Final Fantasy Conflicted: yeah, on the whole; it kept moving around, homoerotic peaceful spacemen, never on when home and conscious, oops. Oh well, play Serious Sam.
================================
I wish I could have seen every B:Galactica new from start in peace, already.
I'm interested but highly suspicious and guarded; still gotta see it: it's DRUGS.
However dishonest.
Saturday used to be sacred.

I RECENTLY GOT THE MAXIM MAGAZINE WITH THE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA CHICK IN IT! It served me well for a while and then I realized how old she was and she looks like an alien.

You've never actually watched Stargate, have you?
And stay out of Dad's liquor cabinet.

God I loved DS9. I also really liked ST:TNG though. DS9 had an awsome continuing story, TNG was just kinda a new story ever episode with a few 2 parters. Thats what I really liked about the first few seasons of farscape, cool 1 parters, though the whole show was surely written with gods own hand ;).
Kinda off topic, fav episodes of TNG and DS9.
TNG:
All good things... This 2 part episode was just awsome. It was just so well done you cant not like it. It also had my favorite picard quote, when he was with data in the future and they were drinking tea and talking about picard possibly traveling through time, data's maid came in and asked if anyone wanted tea picard:"Tea, earl grey, hot. maid:course its hot! What do you want in it! picard pauses and gives her a surely look and sais "Nothing!" all disgrunteled like.
DS9: The episode where O'Brian gets captured and is in that prison camp for a long time(forget how long) and hes in there with that one alien that he becomes friends with. The guards stop feeding them, and one night O'Brian sees the alien hording some food in a cranny in the rock. Then one night he strangles the alien and goes and checks the food. He then realizes that there was enough food for them both, and the alien was hording for them both if things ever got really bad. Then O'Brian starts laughing and saying "haha you fool, you were saving for us both. Get up here and lets eat" and he realizes the alien is dead, and he just looses it. Then the guards start feeding them right after that. When he gets back to the station, he keeps seeing the dead alien who tells him not to feel bad and go on with his life, but O'Brian cant stand it. Hes angry at everyone and in the end hes about to commit suicide and Bashere catches him about to do it and O'Brian tells him the whole story, bashere convinces him not to do it and the alien guy leaves. Dark ass episode.
EDIT: TNG had 1 dark episode, the one where picard got caught by the carrdassians(spelling?) and was tortured for along time by 1 of them. (god damn good episode) Full transcipt of that episode (
