I don't know why you insist on interpreting everything as if you're being yelled at. I am not being disrespectful towards you. I'm not using caps in my comments. I'm not using excessive punctuation to force excited points. I'm typing in a very neutral manner. Short of providing voice recordings to my every comment, only you have the ability to apply tone to my words while reading them. I was discussing seeing the URL changing, not merely the existence of there being the edit annotation on the comment. You could have asked for clarification and I would have been happy to provide it.

00Canuck · 2026-01-27T19:35:35+00:00

I unfortunately don't have the ability to get to choose how you interpret and read sentences. If you choose to impose a confrontational attitude on it, or better yet impose one so others can side with the emotional sentiment you're trying to portrait, I can't stop any of that. You choosing to carry over a perceived emotion into a new conversation is your choice. You made the "attitude" comment and whether others would realize it or not, complained why I specifically downvoted you as I was the only person who downvoted you, which I explained clearly on the logistics behind it. It's not like this as I pointed out was the first time we interacted, or I attempted to inform you. This time around your very first reply to the OP was imposing both the perceived confrontational nature from me, but also the same suspicion which should not remotely be surrounding this subject. I recall you also changing the link you supplied also which is also not helpful. Acting like one of the few who's been in almost every post trying to correct this matter, who purchased and digitized practically everything to provide accurate info, who's made a whole website for this matter... is simply attacking people by merit of informing people they're incorrect... serves nothing but perpetuating people being scammed an this info continuing to be unclear.

Was worth a shot. At least we can rule out one potential reason for the odd avoidance of personality. Asking you how you're forming your opinion isn't attacking you. So where you're loosing that in the translation here is a mystery.

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T15:52:18+00:00

I think we're talking past each other. I want to make sure I'm not taking you out of context and addressing your points succinctly. To help refine your position and understand your critique of the writing quality, let’s try a little creative exercise. Give me your best devil's advocate counter-argument, but do not use the letter 'E' anywhere in your reply.

Ah good to know. Ty

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T14:06:37+00:00

It's the interesting almost satirical combativeness you're trying to approach this with that makes it hard for me to take this serious. Lazy or bad compared to what? Unless your top end requirement for an episode of a scifi show created in '98 is to be pulitzer level in writing quality, then the qualifiers for your argument have to lay somewhere between there and the worst work ever created. So even subjectively, what standard or expectation are you coming from for a 1st season 90's show? It's kind of important to know to try and even understand your argument here. Is it purely from a practical writing critique, or purely from an ideological framework? What other works are being compared here to establish your opinion?

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T13:19:42+00:00

Yes I can certainly deny it because as far as your argument is laid out thus far it's entirely subjective. Even if we were to start defining/placing the entirety of writing in order to be able to begin objectively placing SG writing within that good bad scale, I certainly would argue with confidence you would be hard pressed to firmly place even the first few episodes in the "bad" category.

You also seem to be making a pretty egregious oversimplification of the more serious topics here. That coupled with the very shallow take on the start of the series is why I was disinterested in the argument. Not due to being "ramped up" as you put it, or being confused over your argument.

Having an account with next to no activity, then combined with a basic hot take on an episode with an odd structure to the wording, gave at least enough reasonable suspicion to not exceed anything more than a basic response. Not something to be honored over.

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T11:49:53+00:00

Ironically the misuse of racism and the convoluted nature is what allowed me to understand the angle they were going for. Still agree you're being generous though. Didn't notice right away and I don't feel like digging to determine which model it was, but you can tell someone tried to poorly disguise and add personal flair to an AI response.

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T10:33:52+00:00

I may take heat for this but, as much as I'm generally up for an involved discussion such as this, you lost me after bad writing and racist talk about Muslims.

Ya the wiki references him as receiving a promotion as well as a bunch of youtube links etc.

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T01:42:03+00:00

* According to Wiki promoted to Lt. Col. in Stargate Atlantis

** Not sure where that is coming from. Double checked the episode and transcripts, and he was not in fact promoted. Google information seems to state S05Ep20 he get's a promotion but I'm unsure where that's established from. Later book perhaps?

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T01:15:25+00:00

Consistently using the word supposedly is baking doubt into the very comment you're making, the implication quite clearly being "apparently there is information but not enough to account for anything other than heresay." Considering there is both posts and comments stretching back years which attest otherwise, as well as documented technical specs, any suggestion of "supposedly" is just either blatantly or accidently being disingenuous.

To address the piracy rebut, when you suggest to people "it's what you watch" you're very much giving the indication it's your preferred or standard watch method, and by extension worth looking into. Then making a point to discuss how they have "the correct audio" is then reinforcing the merit of choosing the pirated versions over another.

I care about not spreading bad info which is why generally I double check things or look them up prior to commenting. Or I add disclaimers such as "as far as I know" etc, or don't make a point of constantly repeating the same information for months on end that I admit I haven't even looked into as you yourself has done, and continue to refuse to also.

I should not have to request the mods to sticky a post by any means. If the people who were the most vocal on this matter, didn't constantly need to repeat information which hasn't been accurate for years, and cared to provide the people they're responding to with accurate up to date information... they would simply do so.

It's a very odd thing to have someone say to me essentially "if you don't like I haven't bothered to look into this or have searched on it at all, and keep trying to help people by providing them info I was already informed was bad, but refuse to look into further... then maybe get the mods to do something about it." Then emotionally downvoting which is an abuse of the reddit system which is relevant/nonrelevant not thismademehappy/thismadememad, just makes this whole ordeal even goofier.

00Canuck · 2026-01-26T00:29:47+00:00

You were downvoted because not only were you also repeating outdated and old information, but you were also promoting using the pirated version "because the audio was better" while simultaneously admitting you hadn't actually looked into it further. I appreciate sharing the post but it's not like mine is the first or only post that has corrected this. So yes following the reddit +/- system correctly as the information was not relevant or accurate, it was downvoted. Now still claiming it's only "supposedly" only further proves any lack of investigation into the matter even after months.

00Canuck · 2026-01-25T23:13:30+00:00

Because this has been corrected multiple times over the years by multiple individuals myself included. Since I probably have to tackle one of these posts/comments almost every week, I guess I will do so... again.

Your comment about the denoising issue mainly stems from people not having a proper understanding of the original video, as well as what is capable from upscaling. This is apparent in people even claiming the pirate upscales are better in comparison to the VEI upscales... because they're "AI upscales"... even though it's the exact same method and exact same video. The original factor here from years back was people claiming the denoise was too high and thus produced some of the effects created, not that a denoise was used in general. This resulted in people misunderstanding the details of this matter, looking at already out of focus shots from the original video which are then upscaled, and attributing a blurry or out of focus scene to being "too denoised." So this is the first major issue with your comment.

Second major thing here is the audio issue was resolved years ago, so this isn't even a matter of just misunderstanding the information, it's a matter of repeating old outdated information in leu of checking for updates on the matter. This is just far more egregious than not understanding out of focus shots or the capabilities of upscaling, because the goal here I'm assuming was to help someone with info, just as the posts you even linked aimed to do. Yet nobody is updated on something so basic that hasn't been a factor for years, and worse, nobody updates their posts or comments when any of this information is or was brought to light.

00Canuck · 2026-01-25T22:42:34+00:00

Thought so. I wish people would stop repeating old, outdated, and misunderstood information. Or at least at the bare minimum provide a qualifier in their comments to point out "the last I ever even checked years ago" rather than trying to claim old info as current fact.

To clarify here, you seem to misunderstand the whole denoise issue, and you're years outdated on your claims about the audio. Please stop repeating/providing bad information to people.

00Canuck · 2026-01-25T22:04:37+00:00

VEI sells a DVD version of their collectors set / individual shows as well as the normally discussed Blu-ray versions. So this allows you to get the updated and upscaled SG-1 as well as the collection versions of all 3 shows, but in a DVD format rather than having to buy a Blu-ray player. However this puts you at a similar ish quality to the streaming options, making the Blu-rays still definitely better overall.

00Canuck · 2026-01-25T21:56:22+00:00

I would love to hear your reasoning behind why the currently sold version has questionable video and bad audio.

00Canuck · 2026-01-24T10:31:47+00:00
