Nope all new cast. They are pretty good though. Actually the main scientist on Atlantis did a few appearances in SG-1, but none of the same main characters.

I was a little worried that the new show would suck, but is not half bad. It is good enough to grow on you for sure. Just like the first i\the show needs to make you care for the characters and understand their quirts before the show will be real good. The pilot was great, way more action and blood then the first series, and the new enemy is very interesting.

I think we are a two years behind. The Star Trek ones we are up to four years behind in some of them.

It would help if channel 7 didnt keep fucking around and actually showed Sci Fi shows season to season...instead of here and bloody there

Can you get them on cable? That may have something to do with it.

Yeah I know. The movie was on to. That usually means a new series is about to start.

If the new season is coming then...dammit i wish they'd get on with it

I was never able to get into it. I enjoy it when I do watch and episode but I'm not religious about it. It didn't help that it ran on saturdays at 5 around here, perhaps the worst time ever.

I love Stargate as does my son

Yep, and I have to record it for a couple of friends who live in another state and don't have access to it. I agree about Stargate Atlantis, it is one that shows great promise the beginning movie has several of the Stargate cast, but the premise is that they go to a world far enough away that they can't return to earth, so once they left earth, it allows them to have their own show without all the complications of having to share cast members. And Sharni, there are new faces/personalities to find attractive in Atlantis!!

Must say i enjoyed Atlantis....can't wait for it to hit our shores

Yep ... we're now in the midst of season 2 I guess ... it's strange because the sci fi channel (which has taken over the production of both Stargate series) show about 12 new episodes in the summer and then 12 new episodes in the winter .. so I'm not sure if they are different seasons or just 1 season split up (probably the latter). We just had episode 5 of the winter last night. They have also added the new series (of the revamped) Battlestar Gallactica to the Friday night lineup.

Mr. Lil is driving me :spin: with the Battlestart Gallactica :dizzy:

Sharni

02-19-2005, 04:15 PM

*LOL*....We've just got Battlestar Galactica

Dunno about it yet....i was a BIG fan of the original...and i'm having some probs with the characters in the new one taking names from the old one....

fzzy

02-19-2005, 07:02 PM

Would that be the miniseries Sharni? They aired that originally in December 2003, then just started airing the series in January 2005. I didn't actually see the miniseries ... I have to agree it's taking me some time to adjust to the characters ... something to look forward to though is that Richard Hatch (the original Apollo) is in a roll (for at least one episode) as someone else. The new series seems to be a bit more serious of an undertone as well ... but I try to suspend my memories of the original series when I watch this one and it I'm enjoying it more each week.

We've had Part 1 & 2.....now i believe they are going to be shown like a series...and i bloodywell missed the first one *LOL*

Lost

02-21-2005, 05:11 AM

yup, I watch SG1 and SG atlantis.. missed the episode with Claudia Black (of the late SciFi show Farscape)
the 9th season isnt completely negotiated with Richard Dean Anderson (jack O'niell) and Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) may not be in the first part of the season a whole lot, as she has a baby due around that time of filming. Ben Browder (John Chricton on Farscape) will be joining the regular crew in season 9 though and Claudia Black is rumored to turn up on the show again, as an alien

Battlestar Galactica has also been signed on for a second season.

all good news to me except that Browder joining the next season means they WONT be starting up Farscape again, I was hoping the PeaceKeeper Wars mini would renew and add enough fans that it would be brought back

*EDIT UPDATE - ok, i got curious and did a little research, Claudia Black WILL be in season 9, a character in a 5 episode story arch*

Seeing how farscape was filmed here in Oz I was rather dissapointed that they didn't keep it going. The same could also be said about Babylon 5 that was back in the 90's. That was a great series. Went through 5 seasons and finished. It had Bruce Boxlietner in the lead role from season 2 onwards. I know I probably spelt his last name wrong, but we all know who he is.

Sharni

I thought Farscape was coming back.....thats what i heard

Lost

02-21-2005, 05:58 AM

unfortunaly, no, there are no plans in the near future to bring Farscape back, the last interview I read with Ben Browder he was asked about that and he would like it to but says it doesnt look like it anytime soon and IF anything was done it would probably only be a movie.

seeing as they unfortunatly going to i guess it will at least be good to see Ben doing Stargate, I like the show, just liked Farscape better is all

Ooopppsss sorry read it wrong....the Peacekeeper Wars was the finale

"This special television event would not be a reality were it not for the tireless, unwavering efforts of the Farscape fans to bring the series back. Like all of us at The Jim Henson Company, they believed that the epic story we were telling was something special and deserved a proper ending. We are thrilled to respond to their dedication by creating this miniseries, thus resolving many of the unanswered questions from the final episode and giving fans their just due." ---- Brian Henson

Just for info, read today that Andromeda will go for one more series, which is strange

given that all except Dylan died in the final.

Sharni, is the new Galactica on the one channel we don't get here (10)?
Andromeda ~ Damn i'm yet to catch a bloody episode of that *L*....and i like Kevin Sorbo...ahh well i'm sure they'll run repeats eventually

I cant remember which channel Galactica is on.....i'll look it up and let ya know

we just watched the season finale battlesatr the other night. it was pretty damn good.

BIGbad

I watch SG-1, SG-Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica.

I watched Enterprise until the new season of these^^ started on SciFi. What was Paramount thinking putting Enterprise up againest these three. They could have only expected to get less than half of an already small audience.

The season finales of SG-A and BSG were great! I never expected the ending to BSG (I won't give the ending away until the aussies get to see it). The final battle scenes in SG-A reminded me of Bagdad's shock and awe (WOW).

SG-1 on the other hand seems to have jumped the shark. I will wait until next season before I give up, but I am worried about the show. The writing has gone down hill this season there was only a few episodes that I liked.

There are now other shows for the SciFi crew out there right now. I look forward to their return in July.

I thought the movie was great but could never get into the tv series......I just can't get past the MaCgyver era.

Sharni

04-05-2005, 03:35 AM

Ahhh but Jack is nothing like MacGuyver *L*

After giving BSG a few chances (very glad i did i might add)...i'm well and truely hooked...love it...i think its the not calling Lee, Apollo and Kara, Starbuck all the time makes me more comfortable with the characters

Absolutely love Stargate Atlantis....and will continue to watch Stargate SG1 for as long as Daniel (Michael Shanks) is in it *LOL*

fzzy

04-05-2005, 03:22 PM

I agree Sharni ... BSG has gotten me hooked as well ... and like you, it took a couple of episodes for me to get there ... it is VERY different from the original series ... so much more about the relationships between the people ... I like it a lot and they gave us a whopper of a cliff hanger with the season finale ... can't wait til July when the new episodes will begin.

They show them here on the Sci Fi channel on Friday nights ... first SG1, then SG-Atlantis then BSG ... and then they run them through again, just in case you missed the first showing .. Friday nights are a favorite tv night when they are airing the new episodes! :) And SG-1 will be adding Claudia Black and the guy who played Crichton on FarScape with the summer season ... something more to look forward to!
