“I heard the packs on Deck 8 have PB&J.”

He doesn’t say it tasted or smelled fishy, just that it was the juice of fish… and he apparently hated it.

What are the odds it has a similar aroma to Terran coffee beans?

aeronmelon,

Pull a Nutty Professor and just have Jeffrey Combs play everyone. Including the women.

Riker, over comms: “'Sup, stupid.”

Thomas: “I’m closing the channel.”

Riker: “How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?”

Thomas: “…I’m listening.”

aeronmelon,

Bat-a-bout.

aeronmelon,

You know, I totally forgot that was him. One of the better early episodes, too. Showing the Humans that they’re antics we’re leaving a paper trail across the quadrant.

aeronmelon,

If “in line with my tastes” means what I think it means, just wait until you get a load of Christopher Judge’s Teal’c. Especially in later seasons.

The first few seasons of SG-1 do feel darker (figuratively and literally). Atlantis had the advantage of taking what the main series learned along the way and employing it from the get go. The best thing about them, I feel, is how they aired concurrently and had multiple crossover moments (imagine if Picard’s Enterprise regularly checked in with DS9). So you might want to find a guide online to know what order to watch the episodes of both series in, if you care about chronology.

aeronmelon,

When you say silver fox, do you mean Richard Dean Anderson (the team leader) or Beau Bridges (the base commander in the later seasons)?

aeronmelon,

The ultimate irony is that all Stargate series were filmed and produced in Canada!

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that Canadian writers so perfectly zeroed in on the American mentality of shooting everything until the problem goes away?

I may be mis-remembering, but I think it’s a plot point of the early seasons that the Americans try to be American on other planets and slowly realize how badly that works out, forcing them to change their strategy going forward.

There are other things that cause this behqvior. Like some outsider coming in and trying to further militarize the SGC, etc. But those people are considered antagonistic by the main cast. Similar to how the crew of the Enterprises don’t take well to visiting Captains and Admirals.

That said, there are moments, even towards the end where patience runs out and someone stands up and says something like, “That’s it! Where’s the C4?”

shrug YMMV, but I think your general opinion of both shows will end up being favorable.

aeronmelon,

LOL! Fuck, you’re right. He looks like Big Boss. I will never unsee it now.

aeronmelon,

Hmm… Thinking about it, I guess SG-1 is a bit more action oriented. But I think that’s because it went on much longer than Atlantis. If Atlantis had less action, it was because it tried and failed - not because it was intending to be more “talky”. One of the defining moments of Atlantis is a gigantic engagement in space. It was so important they changed the show’s intro to include it.

Rest assured, SG-1 has a lot of great dialog and thought-provoking stories, too. I guess you got unlucky and saw all the “YEEHAW, MURIKA!” episodes. XD

One episode in particular is really rough because it focuses on the emotional aftermath of a single action scene.

The reason I called SG-1 “well-rounded” is because it’s a terrific balance between action and character. Atlantis does the same with less on-location filming, and a smaller budget. It’s really hard to pick one over the other because you should treat both as a complete set.

Critical damage is what Reliant did to Enterprise.

Catastrophic damage is what Enterprise did to Reliant. :)

“Kelvin Kirk crawled inside the warp core and kicked the emitter back into position. Show some initiative, Mr. LaForge!”

aeronmelon,

Galaxy Quest, Hone Improvement, and Alien in the same comic.

Masterpiece.

aeronmelon,

I love it, it’s like something from one of Roddenberry’s rejected sci-fi pitches before he landed on Star Trek.

aeronmelon,

Shift into neutral and promptly explode.

aeronmelon,

Star Trek The Motion Picture’s transporter accident gave me nightmares.

Galaxy Quest’s transporter accident made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself.
