A team of 4 who spend their time powering up (with alien tech) so they can eventually kill gods? I never before realized that SG1 is just a JRPG.
Worshipping the Sun is one of the most logical things a species that reproduces civilization can do.
Tell me why we shouldn’t worship the stars.
because even at this distance, the sun will burn your ass if you moon it for too long.
That’s a standard feature of gods though. At least the sun is (mostly) predictable.
Well. some gods. Others might try to peg it. Dionysus, for example.
While sg1 are foreigners they are technologically primitive so the prime directive wouldn’t even apply to them.

Basically once they get the x302 with the sort of working hyperspace drive. That would count as their Zefram Cochrane moment.
It’s interesting, this is true in the early days of the show but around season 4-5 it’s clear that while the humans (of earth) are still technologically primitive, they essentially are making use of huge swathes of the American military industrial complex. Especially in terms of r&d. Theyre also not beholden to centuries of rigid doctrine around combat. So even though a staff weapon is far more technologically advanced than a gun using gunpowder, the gun is more ergonomic, more usable, more accurate, comes in specialized forms, etc etc. Plus they can implement novel tactics like shooting laser guided missiles through the gate and painting targets with a laser.
That show was pretty cool.
“This… is Starfleet. It’s designed to judge people.
This… is America. It’s designed to KILL people.”
…effectively at 5 times this range
The P90 are your new God!
Ra… tatatatata.
doctor who vs doctor who in a nutshell.
if you know rtd, please don’t suggest a plot involving the doctor in a nut shell. because i’m pretty sure it’s already on the schedule
I always thought it fell into one of a few categories:
- fixing the timeline someone else screwed up
- minor changes won’t matter because the timeline corrects itself
- fixed points that just flat out can’t be changed
But unless it was a “fixed point” he basically would do what he wanted, and most of the time it was the tardis that sent home somewhere to stick his nose in things.
“fixed point”
part of what makes DW so good imo is the control that the writers get over the entirety of existence. need a new star actor? regeneration! need to explain a plot hole? fixed point! need to destroy the universe again? daleks!
it’s always been a back-and-forth show. some people really hate the new series, and some people really hate the old one. it’s all so funny, and it’s probably a lot of fun to write these shows knowing you’re inevitably going to infuriate some cute group of nerds somewhere
I love Stargate. Most episodes are: we find a foreign people who are un-american and have to do what we can to make them more american. The whole thing is blatant military propaganda. I’m still mad about atlantis season 5.
Just gong to pop this over to !chevron7@lemmy.world.
in one of the sg1 episodes, the norse descendants on a planet still worship the “asgard” and they dint want to break thier belief system just yet. goauld was off limits, only one other planet had extreme resistant to thier beliefs(the one where tealc got blinded and was healed by an advanced race that believed in a specific goauld.
Just different approaches to the trolley problem.
“They started it!”
