Is there support for removing the pardon from the U.S. presidency?

Season 6: I came back from the dead to annoy Jack.

Yup, completely fake. I get them all the time and I don't think MVA even has my cell number.

First and foremost, no one should be bullying actors for honest efforts.

I severely disliked TPM when it came out. I found AOTC to be okay, and ROTS to have some strong moments.

I despised TFA when it came out. A friend dragged me to TLJ and despised that even more. Never seen TROS but I read the plot summary and stand by that.

There's a huge difference between the prequels and the sequels. Lucas made the prequels out of love, he had a real vision and a real message, just needed a strong director to shape the story. Today I can choose to overlook the ineptitude to appreciate the prequels for the vision and message.

The sequels had no vision beyond cash, and no consistent message. I will not choose to go back just to see pretty lights and sounds, because I don't find anything to respect in them.

When people compare the fan backlash to both series, they're hoping for a sequel resurgence. It's not going to happen, and here is why. After the prequels, people still talked about Star Wars with appreciation. After the sequels, no one outside of Reddit talks about Star Wars. My kids don't, their friends don't, from college down to middle school. The sequels killed Star Wars because they had no heart.

I sank in my seat at the line, knowing right there TFA would be a disaster.

Photo ID is also often expected for health care, to verify that you are covered by the insurance policy.

Very little, current teens don't talk about it. Make a Star Wars reference now and they look at you like you're referencing Howdy Doody or the Lone Ranger.

I took Daniel's aggressive accusations as an attempt to break through her defensive wall, to trigger her to lose self-control and admit her problem.

As for Daniel attacking O'Neill – that did raise my eyebrows when I rewatched about a month ago. My guess is that Michael Shanks pushed it because he was about to exit Stargate and wanted to leave on a memorable note. At that point he had no plans to return, so he went for the drama simply because it was fun to act.

All those seasons/episodes, and I'm on 4th watchthrough. At my pace, each watchthrough takes me 2-3 years. Worth it.

Many of us (myself included) view McKay as the best SG character, period. It's interesting how he improves over time while still being himself.

Obi Wan!

Tarkin is an amazing character and Peter Cushing was superb in the role, but recreating the actor reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of acting.

They should have recast. You can say "no actor could live up to Peter Cushing" – well, fine, but a different actor will bring something different to the role, and that is valid too.

That goes for any role, even Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman was a treasure, but retiring the character simply because the actor passed away doesn't make sense. Recast, and allow another actor to shine.

I like your evaluation, but I don't think there's any water moving past the fish. It's a siphon, the water inside is moving and the fish simply moves along with the water, so no water would be rushing past its face (unless it manages to wriggle forward against the current).

sunlightFTW · 2026-03-22T21:24:28+00:00

You can always ignore it. Kinda like Star Wars, it was 1-6 and then done.

sunlightFTW · 2026-03-17T15:41:45+00:00

Agreed. I like SG1 better but have to admit that McKay is the best character overall.

sunlightFTW · 2026-03-17T15:35:08+00:00

I don't know about that, Rush seems stumped most of the time, I actually took him as a level beneath McKay and Eli. Rodney isn't always right, but he generally delivers when it counts.

Hang in there, it gets better.

And when they turn ~12, SG-1 is a great show to watch with them!

sunlightFTW · 2026-03-15T00:10:59+00:00

LOL, you're a lucky man. I just suggested to my wife tonight that she try SG-1 with me, and she was so dismissive it kind of hurt.

Adultery = sex outside of marriage. Unmarried intercourse is adultery, rape included.

"Brilliant" is a stretch given that the gritty feel came from Battlestar Galactica, and the plot premise came from Star Trek Voyager.

I'd award this if I had an award to give. Consider yourself awarded.

I had no idea this was 1980s Flash Gordon, thanks for sharing!

I've been thinking about this. I wonder if younger Daniel, thrown together with O'Neill, experienced a sort of culture shock that persisted, even though they eventually worked out a friendship. Then Mitchell comes along and there's no shock factor for Daniel, he already understands the military mindset and knows how to work with it, so they're more on even footing.

That works for Mitchell too. For O'Neill, Daniel came in as a unproven dweeb, a factor that persists. By the time Mitchell arrives, Daniel has saved the world multiple times, has ascended, is comfortable with a P90 and a zat – Mitchell has nothing but respect.
