With the banning of fable, I couldn't help but think the entire time i was at Disclosure Day that alien reverse engineering really is just a predictive metaphor for AI.

We never had private companies holding magical technology in secrecy and using that to make us shitty products.

But we do now!

And the new conspiracy from here on out can easily be: [company] has AI that is better than anything we have and they are using it to make us cancer subscriptions.

the first 20 minutes of Stargate is so fucking good then the rest of it and the 6 other tv shows are such campy bullshit, the premise is so good if they had made it more serious it would have been amazing

Stargate Universe is alright if you like star trek, but don't like the main stargate storyline.

I agree and it seems like a typical failure of imagination or budget to me. They had the fantastic opening, but couldn't deliver with the reveal. So many films fail at this level it makes a sad.

IDK i thought the movie was good, it delivered a solid ending, told the full story about the universe etc.

What didn't you like about it?

The TV series was like a cross between Xena & Star Trek that never really hooked me.

It just pivots hard from this like serious hard sci thing into a summer comedy less serious action movie once they step outside the pyramid, it had to of been studio notes or something like the setup is super serious, dudes kid is dead and he doesn't give a shit so he's gonna detonate a nuke on the other side of the gate to jackson getting dragged by a Star wars Bantha across the dunes then from there on out it's a completely different tone to the whole movie

Remove that one jokester character actor on the away team he can't be taken seriously and basically all the native tribe scenes, slow burn with them just traveling through the desert and jackson dropping Chariot of the Gods achelogy info tidbits into a badass Ra/alien reveal that's scary as fuck like Fire in the Sky alien level and it's the best movie of all time
