Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[BoomerSperg1922]

Interesting fact the reason SG1 stopped doing the cringe super feminist episodes and things like the stupid speech Carter gave in the pilot is that Amanda Tapping asked the writers to stop because she felt the male feminists on the staff were writing lines that no woman would write or say in real life and it was turning her character into a bitch who didn't respect her commanding officer.

Strange to think we now live in a time where this sort of content is everywhere and every female character acts like the bitchy version of Carter's character.

Emancipation is easily in the top 5 of worst stargate episodes of all time. Abysmal dogshit.

Like the racist ghost truck episode of supernatural.

That's what happens when terminally online millenial members of the managerial class try themselves at writing. It's always dogshit in one way or the other.

LLMs will hopefully replace most of them.

Aren't we supposed to lock the threads of Dead lolcows?

This is now a TekWar thread.

Since nothing Star Trek related is happening I'm going to continue the SG1 posting.

I just finished season 1 and the episode with Senator Adm. Jellico has not aged well, at all. "Muh peace dividend" "Muh God will protect us!" I watched that episode with someone who didn't grow up in the 90s and she thought it was a joke. I had to explain to her what politicians were like back then. The first season is so 90s it hurts sometimes.

I promise I won't spam SG1 posts here. But I can't promise I won't make shit posts involving Star Trek actors in SG1.

Stargate was one of the dumbest movies I've ever watched. I'm baffled on how they went on and made a series based on that shit movie.

And the show is one of the smarter Sci-Fi series out there.

Stargate had like the most obnoxious marketing campaign at the time.



I saw the movie and was like… alright this is kind of nothing?



Spader’s a sad genius, which is fun. Jaye Davidson is the sexy alien god.



On rewatch, it's better than people say. It's from another era, I think. It’s a pulp thing. The TV show is basically a soft reboot, the only continuity is “there is a gate."

That's seriously some of the cheapest shit I've ever seen a show do, especially considering the budget CBS can muster.

Weren't they bragging about how much this show cost too?

Like the racist ghost truck episode of supernatural.

Unfortunately they later did worse.

Eric Avari and Alexis Cruz returned to play Kasuf and Skaara, so there was a tiny thread of continuity from the movie.

I stopped watching after season 3 or 4 when it stopped being about 'monster of the week' episodes and started being about angels and demons so I'll never know.

I like it quite a bit, but I also like Waterworld so I know I have shit taste.

I must’ve bought one of the first DVDs ever made of that, because halfway through the movie it would make you flip the disc over to watch the other half lol.

I thought I was the only person who liked Waterworld...

Damn, that movie is an underrated gem for the villains alone.

I was about to start my annual rewatch of DS9, but I might just go for that instead.

I’ve never seen it before. Did Jim Henson do the puppets?

PS: Jack Black is at that movie for like literally two seconds. He’s the guy flying the helicopter sea plane.

Jim Henson company did. His son Brian was very involved. Jim was still dead at the time.

No, it was his son, but the Henson company itself did do the animatronics/makeup/puppets for the shows entire run, which I would say is one of the biggest highlight of the show itself. Not to say the Henson company's involvement carries the show, but it is nice when an alien that would've just been a guy with some tattoos on the side of his head at best in ST gets full lucasfilms level makeup and prosthesis if not an entire animatronic rig in FS. Standouts include Pilot, Namtar from Season 1, and the Bug Merchant from the pilot episode.
