Reminds me of Garrett Wang. He was introducing a Star Trek panel, a TNG panel if I remember correctly, and was talking to the audience a bit about his relationship with Star Trek. Said he watched it growing up but in his teenage years it phased out. Then he heard of TNG and turned it on. First episode? Code of Honor and he said "Okay. No thanks." Cut to a few years later and he sees TNG is on. Why not check it out, can't be as bad as it was before? It's Code of Honor again. Cut again to a couple years after that. He has an audition for Voyager coming up and he decides to watch some Star Trek for reference. Finds it on a channel and starts watching it. Code of Honor.

He ended the story by saying he credits Code of Honor for getting him the job because if he saw any other episode he'd be too much of a fanboy.

Funny how she also wrote the worst StarGate episode.

[–] startrekexplained@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it was an even worse remake

How many shows does StarGate have

5? SG1, Infinity, Atlantis, SGU, Origins. Though Infinity isn’t cannon, and Origins isn’t really a show.

Forgot about that animated show. I only count SG-1, Atlantis and Universe as canon and I only like SG-1 and Atlantis personally.

Second season of SGU is really quite good, I honestly prefer it in tone to the attempts at “darker” stories in Atlantis.

I'll have to watch it eventually, i gave up after the first season

[–] Jaccident@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I appreciate that S1 was trying for something; the slow burn etc, but it doesn’t work very well. The pacing and intrigue of S2 was much better.

[–] startrekexplained@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I should rewatch SGU before trash talking it

[–] Jaccident@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aww bud, you weren’t trash talking it! You just didn’t like something (and that’s very valid given the swings in S1 were mostly misses).

[–] startrekexplained@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thx :D But I do think it's fair I actually watch the full show first before passing judgement on it.

[–] Jaccident@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno bud, think you’re flogging yourself over nowt here. You had an opinion; you shouldn’t have to watch every episode of something before you judge it. Otherwise the only reviews online would be 5 stars

Thanks for this :D You're right

Ok yeah that one definitely wasn't great. I usually don't skip it though just because the utterly backwards logic in it is pretty funny.
