(05:12:41 PM) Ketara: Really need something better to do than watch Stargate SG-1. My brain is bleeding out my ears at this point.
(05:13:35 PM) James: You watching the new SG-1? Universe?
(05:13:57 PM) Ketara: Watching that and the original. The new one is really stupid, the old one is also really stupid.
(05:14:51 PM) Ketara: I was telling Tian about it. It's fine to have alien races and technological advancements etc, but when the way people behave within that environment is completely ridiculous it just bothers me.
(05:17:04 PM) Ketara: Like they have these episodes where a culture way more advanced than Earth has some catastrophe and in order to save themselves they turn their bodies into robots or go into hibernation or etc etc. If their world is dying and they're superadvanced then why not USE THE STARGATE or build spaceships.
(05:20:32 PM) James: lol
(05:20:56 PM) James: I always felt like the characters were one step away from doing an aside towards the camera and speaking their internal monologue.
(05:21:16 PM) Ketara: Yeah the acting isn't that great. I think the writing is worse though.
(05:22:16 PM) Ketara: Or like I really enjoy how there's only one stargate on every planet, but the extent of every planetary expedition is to only explore the area around the gate, and the only city of interest on the entire planet is the one the stargate is in.
(05:22:34 PM) James: lol
(05:23:06 PM) James: I love how Family Guy has no continuity whatsoever.
(05:23:19 PM) Ketara: Or like how the bad guys control dozens of entire planets, but when they do an expedition somewhere to beat the humans they send like, five guys.
(05:23:46 PM) Ketara: Family Guy is a lovely show.
(05:24:23 PM) James: I also love this episode on right now. Everyone's fine with Brian dating a young woman but not an older one.
(05:24:30 PM) Ketara: I like how by the end of a Family Guy episode I have no fucking clue what they were doing at the beginning because it was totally unrelated.
(05:25:54 PM) James: It's kind of weird that in a few years some of the older remedies for health matters will phase out just because no one stocks up on cod liver oil and milk of magnesia.
(05:26:43 PM) Ketara: Also great, the Earth stargate is super guarded with their silly Iris mechanism and then like 30 marines and they have anti tank turrets and shit and blast doors in the gate room, but when they go onto one of the Gould worlds that they're fighting there's like, two unarmored guards at the gate and the SG-1 guys just toss a grenade through and then walk in.
(05:27:23 PM) Ketara: And what?
(05:27:42 PM) James: Exactly.
