Meh, imo compared to most of Star Trek or Babylon 5 it was kinda mid (even Star Wars - The Clone War was better). Just basically American mil-prop but in space.
Let me remind you of the original premise: A ~~conspiracy theorist nutjob~~ eccentric professor (thinks aliens build the pyramids, but is somehow still allowed to lecture at an university) is hired by the military to help them explore an unknown world where they have to save ~~uncivilised savages~~ helpless slaves (using, you've guessed it: guns) from an ~~evil dictator~~ all powerfull god (who still needs slaves tho).
The more I think about it, it's not even mid, it's crap. It has no wonder for what's beyond the stars, just a constant psychotic fear of anything that could even remotely be considered a danger to ~~America~~ Earth. And the only solution to it is shoot at it.
Daniel Jackson was lecturing to like five people in a hotel lobby at the start of the movie. He was a known crank. He just happened to be right.
Ah, okay my bad. Whatched that movie 10+ years ago and that's how I've remembered it.
you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can't exactly remember. It's ok to be wrong though we won't hold it against you :-)
Oh absolutely, and I'll happily admit it. I know almost nothing about SG, but then again I have some strong opinions about christianity without having read the work of fiction they base their whole lives around.
I just remember that your mother should stone you to death, if you wear clothing woven from two types of fabric or sth along those lines. Who cares about details of a mediocre work of fiction?
And the military not even consulting a real scientist makes its antiinterlectualism worse lol
