Looking forward to it ... though it kinda reminds me of this.

I will at least watch the 2hr movie special...

    I've never seen Stargate, but it is something I would like to catch up with one day. The girl on the till at Asda told me that there was a good episode similar to Groundhog Day, where playing golf was involved or something!
    Well she made it sound pretty good anyway!

    I may watch it, but only because it say Robert Carlyle is in it.

    Stargate became ever so dull ever so quickly.

    Yeap, there was. It had Richard Dean Anderson hitting a golf ball into the active stargate. The episode is called Window of Opportunity in the fourth season (episode 6).

    There are some quirky and amusing episodes. There's ones where they meddle with history or parallel universes, then like Sliders are never sure if they've got things quite right by the end. The 200th one is the biggest piss-take.

    Earlier they had a story where an alien they'd given a human identity had largely forgotten who he was, and started writing a corny sci-fi show based around the idea of the Stargate. They let it continue as it was good cover. In the 200th episode they all pitch-in ideas to boost the ratings of the 'Wormhole X-Treme' show, so we see a teenage version, a spoof of Farscape, and a brilliant one with puppets of the team whose strings all get cut as they go through the gate.

    Ha ha! I always seem to get random people talking to me. I think in this case I'd actually bought Groundhog day at Asda and she was passing comment as she scanned it.:p

    Actually, you might be surprised - SG is amongst the most GF friendly sci-fi out there.

    The fact that the original series ran to 10 seasons would suggest that your opinion is in the minority. ;-)

    the first wormhole x-treme one was the 100th episode and took the piss a little too e.g. the poo-poohing of the idea that the 3rd shot disintegrates the victim - which is exactly what the zat gun does in SG1 as well as the "if you're out of phase why don't you fall through the ground too?" question.

    bought the 10 season box set up to season 6 now :)
