Premature Rumors about Stargate Season 7?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the curse-the-internet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "While some were excited about the news of Stargate's renewal, others remained cautiously skeptical. Those is who did might be interested in reading this story posted on Zap2it." I for one hope the show keeps going. With the loss of Farscape, SG1 is possibly the best straight up sci-fi on TV- and the last show on the SciFi channel I watch.

    Are there any robots in Stargate? SciFi is only good when there's robots.

      Well, Richard Dean Anderson's acting is sorta robotic.

      [Nerd alert]

      Episode 18, Season 1, Tin Man.
      Original Air Date: February 13, 1998
      O'Neill and the SG-1 team arrive on P3X-989, only to be zapped by an electrical trap that renders them unconscious. When they awake, they find themselves in an underground lab with Harlan, a strange but apparently peaceful native of P3X-989 who claims to be 11,000 years old. Harlan, the planet's last survivor, who has lived for 11,000 years in a synthetic (that is, "robot") body, has also created robot duplicates of SG-1. Hilarity ensues.

      "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your colonel speaking. Welcome to P3X-niner-eight-niner where it's a balmy... room temperature." - Col. Jack O'Neill

      How embarrassing for me.

  2. I have problems watching SG1 by pixel_bc · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm a Vancouver person -- I find it odd that every single planet they visit happens to look just like Squamish, BC. :)

      Yes, I imagine being so close to where it's shot would ruin the illusion quite a bit! ...well, I guess you'll just have to figure out how to enjoy watching it from the viewpoint of it being a show about a secret team exploring the outer reaches of Canada...it's almost just as alien, you know!

  3. Crossing Over? by victim · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just checked their web site. Looks like their only original series left will be Crossing Over. Sort of a misplaced show. High marks for fiction but no a zero for science.

    They should change their name to the fi channel

    ...and if they can't do a dignified farewell, at least get some more hot chick involved. Do a spin-off show called "Stargate SG-1 Hawaii".

  5. I'm still missing Lexx by MadBurner · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lexx had it all. What more could a sci-fi nut want? Great tits, erotic undertones, a dead assasin and a live ship. Only thing it was missing was full frontal nudity.
    Oh God, I hope I didn't miss the full frontal nudity.
    Anyone know which episode it was in if I did miss it?

  6. Five words: Crossing Over with John Edward by peaworth · · Score: 2, Funny

    What mindless drones feel this should be included with Science Fiction? How about palm reading with Madame Zora and your daily horoscope by Hubert the One-eyed goat?

      For a second I thought you had written "daily horoscope by Hubbard the Ron-eyed goat"

    In other news: Hollywood has perfected human cloning. Until this post I too thought they were the same person.

    or perhaps the original poster was saying that the show hasn't been the same since it began... without James Spader.

    ...I'm, I'm sorry, really this has never happened to me before...


    Aw, sorry, I just couldn't resist it. Personally, I've not really watched it much recently (on plain UK tv that is), but I did like it (and the film of course) when I watched it in the past. Wonder which series it is they're showing over here, I expect we should get a fair few more before the end.

  9. Daniele Jackson? by WIAKywbfatw · · Score: 4, Funny

    Was an excellent series until Daniele Jackson died, then it just went downhill. I wouldn't be suprised it it was continued, because of the trend that SciFi seems to be taking. But, if they do continue it, I will continue to watch it. KREE!

    Daniele Jackson? Have you been watching SG-1 in a parallel universe where all the cast members are of the opposite gender?
