First off, i'd like to congratulate you on your use of grammar.

 

Secondly, i quote an IMDB user review that sums it up nicely:

'Terrible, awful, insulting, and painful. Stargate Infinity is to Stargate SG1 as Galactica 1980 was to Battlestar Galactica. Infinity shows almost no resemblance, continuity or respect for SG1 at all. There were staff weapons, used by alien creatures that looked like recycled Thundercats mutants. The staff weapons and the other cheesy-plastic ray-gun looking-things seemed to have the ability to hit any life form with a weak stun blast (less effect than one zat gun shot), while also scorching metal walls black and cutting down stalactites easily. Reminds me of the dubbing of season 3 of Space Cruiser Yamato/Star Blazers, you could see lasers going right through people leaving burnt holes, but of course the lasers were stun beams and the people were androids. Or the "robotic" (yeah right) defense forces in Battle of the Planets. There was the token tough guy, token telepath, token alien, token shapeshifter etc etc. Add to all this, one-liner lessons of life such as "Sometimes you just gotta make a choice, go for it and deal with the consequences" made me grind my teeth and cower in horror. The theme song and music were both, um, I have no words for how awful they were. I suppose Infinity might appeal to someone whose IQ <= their shoe size, but I warn any SG1 fans out there, be afraid and run away from Infinity.'

"Wormhole Extreme"' date=' anyone?[/quote']

 

was thinking the same thing

 

this has to be some fan made thing...has to be

 

unless their trying to pull a B5 and do a spin off, that has absolutely no chance in hell of succeeding. (Atlantis is doing fine, just stick with that and SG-1..)

Looks terrible. Sounds terrible. Has to be terrible.

 

I fear spin-offs. They were the end of B5.

 

It worked for Angel. SG Atlantis, hell if you think about every Trek besides TOS is a spinoff of sorts. While they can[/b] be awful, sometimes god awful, other times they can not only be great in themselves but also surpass their originals.

Trek have the only spinoffs that have worked for me.

FYI; I do not very much appreciate Atlantis.

 

 

Nah man! Atlantis rocks. OF course it's derivative as all hell... sometimes you can even imagine the threadlines where they've sewn together all these different bits and peices of preceeding scifi, but who cares IT WORKS! I bloody love it!

Atlantis is basically slightly different premise but the same cookie cutter...

 

A lot like TNG and TOS or TNG and VOY.

 

Spinoffs are generally bad because they're conceived purely as a a means of increasing revenue - not because the idea behind them is inherently good... I think that could probably be leveled at Atlantis but it's still enjoyable more than recent SG-1, at least.
