My Clinical Supervisor at work discovered this and has become concerned, as he is a big fan. He has therefore leant me the first season on DVD. So I am about to start it.
	What?!?!?!?!

All seasons of all the various SG genres (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) are available for streaming from Netflix. Stick with SG1 for now - Atlantis would be next or pick it up where it actually begins somewhere around season 8 of SG1. Once done with all 10 of SG1, watch the two movies in order - Ark of Truth, then Continuum, then watch Universe.

	What?!?!?!?!

I'm a BLOND Vulcan....I'm MOSTLY logical. Posts: 365 Group: 100 post angel ent. Member #1,836 Joined: January 22, 2008	3 Things 1) I live in Colorado Springs. It is absolutely amazing how many people ask "So is there there really a Stargate in Cheyenne Mountain?" (For those who might wonder....I've been inside the mountain. Yes, the tunnel scene is true. However, NO Stargate but there is a man made lake and a small electrical plant.) 2) I'm still a little miffed about that one episode where it's suggested that Sam and the guy visit the zoo and she says "Colorado Springs doesn't have a zoo." WHAT! The writers couldn't do a little bit of basic research? We have a fantastic zoo! And it's called the Cheyenne Mountain zoo. 3) Stick with the show. There a lot to like about the TV series (even with #2 above)

Redneck Posts: 2,660 Group: Movie Era 1000 post angel Member #5,962 Joined: August 9, 2010	I don't know, I finished the first episode finally. Wasn't too intrigued by it. You all are saying it gets better, so I'll give it a few more episodes and see what it does........and please tell me it isn't going to have every planet being a coastal cedar rainforest like the ones convieniently around Vancouver BC, because after Andromeda, Smallville and Battlestar Galactica, I'm not sure I can take much more of that!

Dude, this is gonna take you forever

It's shown on one of the DVD extras (can't remember which season set it's on) Granted it's the door of a broom closet but still, I think that's pretty cool Oh & Wissa do you want to move this to Norad please.
