Stargate Continuum

The new Stargate movie has come out. It's not in theaters, just on DVD. Looking forward to seeing it, i've been a fan of Stargate since the original movie. Anyone else out there a Stargate fan?

They film it just across the water from here. I've always found it too "Canadian" for my tastes. Of all the current sci fi-ish tv programs filmed in Vancouver I think JPod is probably the best.

I saw the movie 2 weeks ago. It is a solid and entertaining movie although I normally hate the time-travel thing.

Wow, that's always been my all time favorite theme in Sci Fi novels. Movies though generally treat it very badly as a subject.

And this subthread seems to bear out what I've noticed on bbs systems many years ago, then on usenet, and now in discussion forums like this one --> when your sig is larger (by far) than the main content of your post, it becomes the focus of the message post. :doh: BTW, I enjoyed the SG movie with Kurt Russell, but the television series did nothing for me.

Love Stargate, especially the fragrant Amanda Tapping! Essex Girl I believe, so like Star Trek TNG, Essex Girls get about a bit.(I am pretty sure Councillor Troi comes from Essex too!) I am waiting to see Continuum, and, sadly, have every episode on DVD. (I also have near 700 episodes of Doctor Who too, God, somebody, get me a life! :) )

Although probably not required, I still prefer to see this parenthesised for clarity, like this: your.Cool = (your.Life == lifestyles.Programming);

Shouldn't that be: "you're.Cool" ;)

I've always enjoyed Stargate but I think it jumped the shark a while back. Atlantis is okay but it's getting to be a home for retired SG1ers. And let's face it, without the humour of O'Neill, it isn't really the same. Still watch the reruns nearly every night on Sky when I get home: how sad is that? :-)

The only Stargate I liked was the original movie with Kurt Russell. SG-1 doesn't do it for me. Anderson was great as McGuyver, though.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
I'm with you. The movie was entertaining but the TV series feels cheap.

Since when is programming perceived as 'cool' by the general opinion? I would say quite the opposite. Anyway, just by having a signature like that you sound geek rather than cool. Sorry...

I liked the original movie but the series left me cold.

Still too simplistic. I favor:
var weights = {coding: 2.0, tech: 1.3, food: 2.0, stargate: 0.5};
var threshold = 4.0;
var aggInterests = 0.0;
for each (var interest in interests)
{
aggInterests += weights[interest]||1.0;
}if ( aggInterests >= threshold )
{
You may be worth talking to
}
else

If it came to a choice between watching Stargate and plucking my body hair out with tweezers, I'd be bald from head to toe. One man's meat, and all that, but it is just cr*p.

I've never seen the movie, but based on your profile photo, it must be a very long movie. :-D

Well said. I can't bear the ones who think programming/technology is everything and look down upon the people who aren't in tech.
