There are two main reasons why I like Stargate SG-1 (and its spinoffs) less and less as time goes by:
1. It's a thinly disguised knockoff of Star Trek crossed with Babylon 5 -- ie. completely derivative without any new ideas of its own.
2. The self-entitled SG-1 fanboys who piss and moan that the upcoming reboot trilogy is going to ignore the SG-1 continuity (while completely disregarding the fact that SG-1 ignored everything about the original movie beyond the basic plot. Double standards much?).
People said the same thing about Space: 1999 when I was a kid. Except for the B-5 part, since it didn't exist yet. ;)
Must every show reinvent the wheel? I thought it SG-1 was better than the movie that inspired it, and even that was mining the '70's Chariots Of The Gods? idea that ancient civilizations were heavily influenced by aliens.
SG-1 and Atlantis are still better than much of what SyFy thinks fits their network these days. They're showing CSI reruns now, what the hell?
