Grrrr....now I really want to see them!

Stargate programs seem to be getting in the habit of stealing other scifi show actors. First SG1 became Fargate, and now Atlantis is having Star trek actors. Don't know if Connor Trineer is getting to be a regular.

Stargate and (to a lesser extent Galactica) is the retirement home for scifi actors. I'm waiting for Brent Spiner to show up on Caprica as the inventor of the Cylons.

Does any one remember when Stargate was about exploration? LOL - Fargate is not bad, and I really like the fact that it also has Mr. Shanks women on it, you know the hot one from that show with that dude that played that strong duded from Greek mythology... can't think of the name of it, Armagedon or drama something...... Still its nice to see her added to the cast of fargate.

As to BSG, well Richard Hatch was in the original was he not?

I think Brent Spiner would make an excellent creater of the cylons. I would watch that.

You know if they did that with brent spiner, BSG would jump the shark.
Also, blink and you'll miss it, the miniseries had cameos for a lot of the old BSG actors and actresses. Well, for the ones not royally pissed off with Glen Larson.

I remember when stargate was about exploration. They shifted that to "Search for X/Y/Z/etc" and stuck in the rut ever since.

They need to get rid of the uber villians for a while and move on to do some serious exploration and first contact. I would definately like to see what became of a lot of those worlds from the first three seasons.

I was rather uninpressed with SG1's premiere. I'm really tired of the Ori. Actually I didn't much care for them to begin with. The Wraith are a little more interesting because they aren't really invincible, there's just so damn many of them. That makes them a pretty good villian since you never have any shortage of cannon fodder for the good guys to waste.

The Ori suck as an antogonist though. They are so powerful that logically they should wipe up the SGC teams and everybody in the galaxy without so much as second thought. So in order for the good guys to win the Ori have to be really stupid (which makes you wonder how they got so powerful) or the writers have to change the rules and give the SGC some magic weapon or the ancients are going to have to break their own rules and step back in. Ultimatly I'm sure it's going to be a little bit of both.

Sg1 was awesome with the G'auld. They were too strong to take on directly, but they didn't go out their way to come after SGC. It gave us a nice malevolent presence over the horizon to keep the tension ramped up, but they weren't in every dang episode. There is only so many times we can lose "every ship in the fleet" to the Ori and then turn around and have another fleet in the next episode before it starts getting a little predictable.

When they announced the new Sg1 last season it was going to go in this new direction where they investigated the camelot myths instead of the egyptian ones. That sounded cool and the couple episodes they've had along those lines were cool. But they need to wrap up this Ori crap soon or I might stop watching it.
