I’ve recently gotten hooked on the show. The origional movie I liked, but I never got interested in the series until recently. Does anyone have any remarks or feelings about the show? I personally would love to have a Gou’ld (or however they spell it) sound-alike voice synthcizer so I could sound like them. “Foolish human, you will tell me where the ruffled potato chips are. Or you will die!”😃 ---

I’m watching it on both the Sci-Fi and Showitme, as I somehow missed a bunch o episodes, and the older episodes are in syndication, try a fox affiliate. I love the show, and some of the twist it takes are fabulous. I’ve only seen a few instances of bad writing. ---

I try to watch it in syndication, but they sometimes play rather sporadically. I have season one on DVD, I’m still waiting for the next season (MAN they’re slow at releasing it!). It’s a fun show. Sometimes they go overboard at pushing Colonel O’Neil’s ignorance of science matters, but sometimes it fits in well. ---

I’ve been watching this show in syndication, so I’m behind a season from what’s been shown on Showtime. Now SciFi has picked up the sixth season, and I’m still catching up on the fourth… Can someone give me a quick spoiler as to what happened to Daniel in the fifth, and why this Jonas fella is so guility about it? ---

**BraheSilver** , here’s Jonas’ character blurb from [SciFi.com](http://SciFi.com): > [@](#): > > A human dignitary from a world with which SG-1 was negotiating interplanetary trade, Quinn was present at the accident that gave former SG-1 member Daniel Jackson a normally fatal dose of radiation poisoning. Initially involved in a cover-up, Quinn later made amends by smuggling a small amount of Naquadria — a Naqaudra-like element — to Earth for the SGC to study, in the hopes of developing shared defensive technology. For his actions, his homeworld has branded Quinn a traitor. ---

Just wondering what everyone’s favorite episodes are. For me: Dramatic:the two part episode with Sokar in the third season. Humorous:Ergo(my favorite quote from the show comes from this episode) “Doctor is SG-1…uh…” “Insane,sir?” “Thats the word” 🙂 ---

I LOVE this show! One of my favorite episodes (and the only one I have on video tape) is the one where they are stuck in a time loop and O’Neal and Tealq (sp?) are the only ones that remember what happens in each loop. Lots of fun that episode. ---

SG-1 rocks! The scripting, the characters, everything is so well done. I was not a big fan of the movie, but the show has got it all. Even the main female actress is not a little, fluffy girl, but a real ass-kicking scientist-soldier. I also like the way T’ealc (sp?) and O’Neil play off each other, or how O’Neil plays off of T’ealc. ---

Ha, that time loop episode really was excellent. I never seem to be able to catch the show as often as I’d like… Fridays I’m doing other things, and sports always intervenes on Fox here. Like I really want to watch Nascar instead of SG-1.
