Does it have a Stargate? Does it make whooshy sounds? Sounds like Stargate to me

Still annoys me that universe only found it's stride in the last few episodes when the decision to cancel them had already been made. They introduce a species more powerful in the physical realm than the ancients - beings that can assemble a solar system - and then the show ends. They spent way too long trying to be BSG lite.

Critiquing is still technically discussion! :D

He spins, especially facts, a lot.

I'm not sure if he makes whooshy sounds though... his action figure might be lacking that feature, no matter how... detailed it was made in other respects.

No one cares? It's Stargate. All of it is good.

Except that Infinity bullshit. Nothing good came from that abomination.

I don't think it's fair to judge all of SG-1 as a single thing. There's a definite shift after Apophis' first death, then again when Anubis becomes the BBEG, and the Ori arc might as well be a different spin-off series. To me, it's Apophis-1, Atlantis, Ori, Apophis-2, Universe, and Anubis. But start to finish, I prefer Atlantis over SG-1 just because they didn't introduce a bigger, badder, eviler guy every few seasons.

'The law...requires...that I say "yes".'

Edit:

It does. It was jarring back when it aired, but if you go in without any expectations, it's not so bad. It was also getting better in S2 and in its second half it got real good.

I felt nothing when it got cancelled, because I didn't make it too far into S2. When I actually finished it years later I was really sad it ended.

SG-1 is fantastic and all, but I think we can all agree Universe is light-years ahead of the others.
