I might wait until 2024 just to have all the threads in the same year. Thinking one thread per season at this point, pending character limit challenges.

Yeah, I should’ve made that rewatch rather than review. Changed the title.

A bit annoyed about defederations and community blocks. If an instance wants to be an island by itself, fine, but you shouldn’t have to stay up to date with random announcements from each instance to figure out all the places you need to have an account to access all the content you want to.

We can tell where in the Sol system a meteorite is from, based on no technological residue at all. And we can tell where something has been constructed on Earth by analyzing it, because of what it picks up from the environment in the process, so I assume it would be obvious when something had been made by an alien civilization in an alien star system on an alien world.

I’d rather have dead communities that can be revived than someone being able to block the names from being used on other instances.

One thing we didn’t need more of was Michael. Which also made what could’ve been a normal pregnancy into something outright stupid.

The general idea is fine, turning Wraith into people they could work with. And it going wrong is fine too, but they didn’t build anything with it. They even used the Michael plot to attempt to undo a mistake they shouldn’t have, because it was too late.

But that was just a few million years ago. We have common ancestors with other apes older than that, and are related to all other life on the planet evolving across hundreds of millions of years (multicellular life). And even if you picked up an ape to somehow genetically engineer it to look identical to life with a completely different biological history, the evolutionary pressures for that species from that point on are all from the environment it exists within.

One thing Stargate didn’t have enough of, was truly alien aliens. The Milky Way Replicators were the closest thing. The Goa’uld were just appearing as people, the Ancients were probably humans from the future (because the identical evolution hypothesis makes no sense), the Nox were hippy Ancients and not seen much anyway. The Wraith might’ve been the most numerous alien organism, but apparently they were also a byproduct of a human-like species.

Potentially everyone except the Asgard and that anti-terraforming civilization were derived from life on Earth. Edit: Also one or two in Universe, who I wish had had more screen time.

For any and all talk shows, there should be a sub-720p option. Don’t really need the video feed at all for most of an episode.

Good to see the naming issue was sorted out. I wanted to do another full franchise review in the near future, and looks like this is the place for it.
