how to kill millions of fans hearts and ruin a franchise

[sam_smithreview · 1/10 · 21 February 2018]

I dont think i need to write a long review, as those who have seen SG-1 or any Stargate show know how special and well written it is. This show is none of that. I honestly thought that this was a parody of the original. As Accents and actors play so over the top that it is cringe worthy to look at them. The writing is so bad that short films have better story telling and much more complex and interesting dialogue. But lets talk about how everything we were told in the original show is disregarded. This is "Suppose" to be a prequel of the show which tells the story of how they found the stargate and how it all started. But everything in this show contradicts all the laws and characters of the original., from the gate being able to be powered by a car battery to how it was first activated. To the fact that Goa'uld didn't know that the gate was open again.

Thank you MGM for allowing a troll to write this show and for you to give it money to film it. might I also add that the filming is pretty terrible as the lenses used make the actors faces in long shot out of focus!

Great Job

More of the same.

Trying it... so at least no one can say I didn't. It's only 10 min episodes...

*Sigh* Ok, I guess at a stretch a VW Kübelwagen could jump a Stargate. We've seen trucks and someone use a homes electricity supply to generate wormholes. But one human pushing the ring around? Meh...

Nazi guy is typical Nazi... No issues... But that blow did not knock out the Nazi guard, and the stereotypical 'tough girl swigging a bottle of spirits cos she's hard like' just no... it's Black Panther all over again with the 1950s backwards way of looking at 'oppressed minorities'... and she doesn't even have a reaction to doing it.

We get it, she's a 90's heroine and has to prove it to everyone because men are all evil and hate strong wo... give me a break... One thing Black Panther did well was it's women. Mercedes would do well to take note of how to have roles for women without resorting to them having to be pistol packing, whiskey swilling, Nazi punching relics.

Would have been better had she walked into the tent at the end, picked up a knife and cut herself free, before saying they have to go rescue her Dad.

But no, walks in, takes a huge drink of whiskey and... then what? She's not going to be able to construct a clear action plan. And in an hour or so is going to need a wee every 10 minutes... GENIUS. But no, Alcohol, the go to for creating a 'cool, badass'. *Sigh* How progressive...
