@aoinatafanboy84 they had 10 eps that aired on tv 3 that were filmed that didn't air and plans for more beyond the 3 that didn't get made. They only had half a season.
@dragongirl4741 You are right, the full amount of episodes for a drama is in the 20's. I was thinking for an animated season. They usually only make 13 per season.
@panther2552 -.- too many different opinions...I am familiar with a 13 episode stint because most shows I have seen only lasted up to there. I guess I was right to begin with.
@laelamarie1 That was one of the great things about SG-1 is all the current day references and 'in' jokes. It served to bring the characters out from a SciFi realm into our daily lives.
@TacticalNotIncluded Maybe thats why firefly was cancelled before it got worse and couldn't hold it's own in story for a period of 10 or so seasons. Just sayin.. I liked firefly, but it definitely was not better than the stargate series, but that's just a matter of opinion.
@FarlosArakalot No it wasn't, the stargate series did not get created till after the movie, in point of fact the very first episode they contact jackson on abidos,who stayed on the planet at the end of the movie.Also they ended up having to explain why they lied in their reports about blowing the stargate up in the first place.
@Kylejnelson88 Well, with no sleep, and starting at 12am and going for 24Hours, and counting in the average time of Stargate being about 43 minutes per episode, one could get in 33.48837 episodes in one day.
However, if played on double, or even triple speed, then one could do about 100 episodes.
Personally, my best is only 12....and then I recouped my social life the following week. :D
When RDA left, the continuation of SG1 without him on the main cast was to be called "StarGate: Command".But Sci-Fi kept pulling on MGM's leg to extend the StarGate: SG1 as a show just so they can have some kind of record in broadcast TV.
Oh and then Sci-Fi turned into Sy-Fy, and airs wrestling! Like, WTF?!
If only these idiot executives knew the power of the Nerd/Geek side! Otherwise shows like The Big Bang Theory would not be so popular and it's chock FULL of sci-fi and comic book references
actually, they were talking about SG-1... the series ended with season 8, but because the DVD sales were a lot better than anyone had expected, they decided to bring the series back for another two seasons.
@nekogod Yeah sorry, i think it was just a stupid idea of me to compare both shows. Both are Sci-Fi but in detail the genres are to diffrent. I miss some of the good villains like Ba'al or Apophis.
@AnteyPL Yeah, they just shouldn't have made it so soap opera-y. I like character development, don't get me wrong. but I agree with you, it was not executed well at all.
@WesCambell I see that I'm alittle late on this but, uh, how would it have aired in 08 if this was posted in 06? I'm not trying to be snarky or anything I'm just curious. . . . .
@hardcorehunter1 Whew, thank you for making that decision for me:-))) I just didn't know what to do. I'm so glad there are people like you in this world! I mean that!:-)))
@realdad32 Easy SG1 wasn't on Fox, both are good shows(well SG1 was until Richard Dean Anderson left). Only thing I would've loved to have seen on S1 was a MacGuyver reference being dropped.
@roguelead72 there was one in the original movie, plus Amanda Tapping pulled a related prank on Richard Dean Anderson while filming the Antarctica episode (the one where they get sent there by accident to the second gate)
@jemappelledan When they're all talking about Vala being pregnant with her claiming she's not had sex... They all sort of start talking about the religious implications "Well, it has allegedly happened one in human history..." "Really?? Who?" then Teal'c butts in with "Darth Vader" with his deadpan awesomeness. Gets my vote for funniest Teal'c moment.
if you'd kept the show running they later made a reference to Farscape...I believe they say something about a Muppet...don't remember it's been a while
@TIAAVENDEALANTIN Wow...I forgot that Vala was posing possible ideas and that they actually did a sketch of it...trying to pick an obscure show to copy...can be seen here: watch?v=TDlez_5_sc4
I love Firefly as much as the next Browncoat but I think you're hearing what you want to hear. Firefly ran for 12 eps not 3 people. How can this possibly be a Firefly reference? Ok so the 'performed well on DVD' phrase makes sense but still. I think you're all seeing Jesus in your toast if you catch my drift...
@anarchotrent In an episode that was dedicated to riffing off of various other shows? Oh, yea, they were going for that shot. It's an injoke, Firefly was a big cult phenom, and so the joke is an easy one for the SG-1 crowd to recognize.
well, easily... SG-1 had 214 episodes, from which only 14 episodes were excellent (counting douple-episodes as one). where in FireFly there were only 14 episodes, which all were just brilliant...
well, easily... SG-1 had 214 episodes, from which only 14 episodes were excellent (counting douple-episodes as one). where in FireFly there were only 14 episodes, which all were just brilliant...
@Usul573 the only reason Firefly got such low ratings while on TV is because FOX did the world's worst screw ups and aired the episodes in the wrong order. Not just they accidentally swapped 3 & 4 and that was it, it was horrendously out of order, and the pilot episode was one of the last ones to be aired!! Given more time, better advertising, and a much better, less selfish and biggoted company, Firefly would have continued for MANY seasons
Stargate isn't set in the future. Yes, the Stargate took them to other dimensions and times but the home-base was a US military installation in the current. That's why you see things like Dell laptops and Snickers bars.
@DanisCoral I was at a con recently at which Morena Baccarin said that the SG-1 guys were Firefly fans (which is why she was Adria) so chances are that was, in fact, a Firefly reference (when combined with what WesCampbell says about the nature of the episode).
Fox started considering taking firefly off the air after the first few episodes due to the low ratings it was getting mainly because they were morons and were not showing the episodes in order and therefore all the character development which was happening did not make sense. So in my eyes this is a firefly reference
14 episodes to Firefly...maybe? Granted 2 of which never aired on television, but that still makes 12 episodes. This is NOT a firefly reference...fail.
The 200th episode of SG1 was filled with references to other shows. The reason Serenity (the movie) even got made was because of the strong sales of the Firefly DVD set. So while yes, technically they're talking about Wormhole X-Treme, I will always believe this is a reference to Firefly given the nature of the episode.
@WesCambell Hahahaha, YES! Like you said. Though they were talking about that one show, I'd like to believe they were referring to all shows that only lasted one season, including Firefly, Valentine, and Cupid.
Firefly lasted an entire season. And it was an awesome show I only started watching after it was ended. Man, I regret not being there to support them when they needed it.
sg1 was always making references to stuff like that... I remember one about that movie where the aliens are burned by water and mel gibson is there.. I forgot its name
Was that really a Firefly reference? Did the writers realy mean to talk about Serenity? If it was that's cool but alot of shows do well on DVD but suck on TV. The New Dark Shadows for example or Lone Ranger.
@eaglemike1515 agree with you SG1 was to nothing can over come that but SGU was indeed gona fail it whent from what 10mil fewers to about 2.5 in 5 episodes they should have stayed with SGA indeed and now they are bankrubed th basterds
the whole episode "200 remember when" is a joke on all of sg1
the reason it stayed on the air despite having few viewers after its first 3 seasons was because the dvd sales were one of the highest for almost any show
this has nothing to do with firefly, if you want to see cross show references watch castle
@c4codyharlan So this episode didn't have parodies of the Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, and Farscape? The entire episode was all about SG1? Did you even WATCH the episode?
you're an idiot. it stayed on the air because the channel didn't have any ideas to replace it.fox on the other hand was eager to replace fire fly... SG1 did not have early DVD sales and was made from a movie which was anything but epic
If I could travel back in time, I would so insert Firefly references into the Declaration of Independence. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: you cannot take the sky from me!"
@DarthPraxus27 But then when Firefly did get made, it wouldn't have any of those references, since the people making the series wouldn't intentionally rip off the United States Constitution or other similar work.
Poor advertisement and bad timeslot, sure, but then they also played the episodes way out of order. Plus it does have that low budget look, and that really mattered to some of the higher ups it seems.
Uh, you take your meds this morning? For all you know it was also me, and it doesn't make it any less true. Don't be so desperate to try to call people out on everything, especially moot stuff that you can't even prove.
I wish people would stop getting all butthurt over a friendly in-joke. Stargate was a good show, and so was Firefly, and the Stargate people would be dippy to insult Firefly anyway, considering how many SG fans are also Firefly fans. Stargate had lots of little in-jokes like that to amuse their fans. It's all in fun, so get a grip, k people? Thankssomuch.
@TeldarinanPictures What do you mean? Yes it was short. But how does that stop it from being the best? I think it IS the best Sci-fi series of all time.
They were actually referencing SG-1 itself. The first few episodes were slated to come out as a movie, but Showtime picked it back up as a regular series.
@eXpriest I could make a long list of points proving against your claim; but I think you're smart enough to know them yourself. Your attempt to present yourself as some grand know-it-all, has instead opened you to mockery.
@timbit87 Your attempt to present yourself as a being both wise and benevolent in an attempt to dismiss my point without addressing it is tired and weak. Fact is, Children of the Gods was released originally slated as the start of a series, but was released as a self-contained movie, only to be picked back up by Showtime.
@TeldarinanPictures Its the fact that fox was in control of it, they fucked up big time, firefly wouldve been amazing had it aired on a better tv net work.
@TeldarinanPictures and the reason it was cut too short was because of crappy timing... it was on at the same time as some other very popular show... But I miss it, and I heard they're starting another season...

No, this episode originally aired in August 2006, while the movie Serenity, which obviously came after Firefly, came out in September 2005.

@WesCambell My mistake. Thought this was from a pre 2002 SG1 season.

sg1 was always making references to stuff like that... I remember one about that movie where the aliens are burned by water and mel gibson is there.. I forgot its name

@WesCambell You are correct, for some reason I always thought that Stargate SG-1 ended in 2008. Idk why just always thought that. :)

Was that really a Firefly reference? Did the writers realy mean to talk about Serenity? If it was that's cool but alot of shows do well on DVD but suck on TV. The New Dark Shadows for example or Lone Ranger.

@Anaken12 Did Lone Ranger or The New Dark Shadows have theatrical movies thanks to their show's DVD sales?

this reference is about sg1, not firefly
the whole episode "200 remember when" is a joke on all of sg1
the reason it stayed on the air despite having few viewers after its first 3 seasons was because the dvd sales were one of the highest for almost any show
this has nothing to do with firefly, if you want to see cross show references watch castle

@c4codyharlan So this episode didn't have parodies of the Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, and Farscape? The entire episode was all about SG1? Did you even WATCH the episode?
CronoDyne 1 year ago
@c4codyharlan It's true that SG1 didn't really get good ratings until a few seasons in...
However the show wasn't on DVD until like season 7...
This IS a refference to Firefly, because the movie was being made around the time this episode came out.

you're an idiot. it stayed on the air because the channel didn't have any ideas to replace it.fox on the other hand was eager to replace fire fly... SG1 did not have early DVD sales and was made from a movie which was anything but epic

If I could travel back in time, I would so insert Firefly references into the Declaration of Independence. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: you cannot take the sky from me!"
DarthPraxus27 1 year ago 164
@DarthPraxus27 But then when Firefly did get made, it wouldn't have any of those references, since the people making the series wouldn't intentionally rip off the United States Constitution or other similar work.

Poor advertisement and bad timeslot, sure, but then they also played the episodes way out of order. Plus it does have that low budget look, and that really mattered to some of the higher ups it seems.

I wish people would stop getting all butthurt over a friendly in-joke. Stargate was a good show, and so was Firefly, and the Stargate people would be dippy to insult Firefly anyway, considering how many SG fans are also Firefly fans. Stargate had lots of little in-jokes like that to amuse their fans. It's all in fun, so get a grip, k people? Thankssomuch.

Being an SG-1 fan and a Firefly fan, I found the reference both awesome and hilarious.

@TeldarinanPictures What do you mean? Yes it was short. But how does that stop it from being the best? I think it IS the best Sci-fi series of all time.

They were actually referencing SG-1 itself. The first few episodes were slated to come out as a movie, but Showtime picked it back up as a regular series.

@eXpriest I could make a long list of points proving against your claim; but I think you're smart enough to know them yourself. Your attempt to present yourself as some grand know-it-all, has instead opened you to mockery.
timbit87 1 year ago
@timbit87 Your attempt to present yourself as a being both wise and benevolent in an attempt to dismiss my point without addressing it is tired and weak. Fact is, Children of the Gods was released originally slated as the start of a series, but was released as a self-contained movie, only to be picked back up by Showtime.

It only lasted "three episodes" because FOX is run by dumbasses... *grumble, grumble*

@TeldarinanPictures Its the fact that fox was in control of it, they fucked up big time, firefly wouldve been amazing had it aired on a better tv net work.

@TeldarinanPictures and the reason it was cut too short was because of crappy timing... it was on at the same time as some other very popular show... But I miss it, and I heard they're starting another season...
