      And that makes it a good show because...?

      So, Steve that means that you are a....."gater" or something like that!??! There are "trekkies" and I guess there could be "gaters" or something? LOL
      Never seen it or even heard of it for that matter! Must've been earth moving! LOL!

      I looked at page 1 and 8. How did stargate get into the thread about this car? Because they're both sci-fi?
      Mark Hamill should be driving that thing.

      The guy spent 1.3 on that, and he's bragging about it? HA!

      Now, come on. I've seen more than 30 seconds of it. Can't tell you a for real number of minutes but let's say it was just enough to know it wasn't worth it. I watched the 1st Star Trek when I was a little guy, Next Generation and Deep Space 9 in middle school. Those were alright.
      You can definately tell the success of Star Gate is solely due to no current Star Trek program. All those Trekkies add up to be a large viewing audience.
      For the record, I am definately not a Trekkie. Those people are creepy, but I did enjoy it for the time when I was a kid.
      So, show me where there was a good story line besides them going to a new place, new bad guys, same old escape and victory scenarios.
      Sure the 1st Star Trek was like that but you could laugh all the way through the show. SG is just sad in that they try to be "intense".
      Hey, if you guys like it, good onya. I still hold it up there on the list as a poor program that is, sadly, succesful.

      As for the Obsidian, ehh. It's neat, but not $1,300,000 neat. I would say it is definately better than the show. LOL.

      What does is that it was on the air for 10 years and did well in the ratings.. That would indicate that people watched it. :shrug:

      You know.. I've never read more than a few words of a Dean Koontz book but it's universely known that they are the worst books ever...

      Gotta love the interweb...

      lol.. no.. I do enjoy good sci-fi stuff.. and I enjoy correcting silly statements not supported by facts made by people that admit ignorance of the topic.

      It's not my fault your post was innacurate in how much of the show you've watched.. :shrug:

      All shows are "formulaic" to some extent. It's fine if you don't like the show, it's just that your broad-brush statement isn't supported by data. To some it was the best show ever.. to some the worst ever and to most it falls somewhere in the middle.

      What was this thread about?

      sg1

      So what I have learned from this thread is some people like SG1 the mustang, some like SG1 the show, some like both, some dislike SG1 the mustang, some dislike SG1 the show and some dislike both while others have no opinions either way. This is what makes this site fun. No one has said anyone is wrong in their opinions. We are a family here, a disfunctional family.






























      I like both

      I hope you Gaters, AND Steve, aren't too mad at me. Sorry. The 30 seconds thing? Maybe I was just exagerating a little too much to try and prove I'm not a watcher.
      On the other hand, I am rolling at this thread.

      I do have a sneaking suspicion this Mustang was named SG-1 by the owner because he knew, like the TV show, his car was going to be one of those "Love it or Hate it" things in a monumental way.

      I realized some here might really love the show so I did a little search on YT to see if this show was as bad as I say........... and I definately agree with myself.
