People don't seem to understand what my idea is... I'm not talking about an episode of SG-1 followed by and episode of SG:A that continues the story, I'm talking about a two-hour episode that is both shows. I suppose it could just be called "Stargate" something or other (so as to not infringe on the movie). In syndication it would either get split into two parts and shown whenever, or it would be shown all at once as a telemovie.

That would highlight both show's weaknesses- the lack of fresh ideas at SGI and the still-developing chemistry on Atlantis.
Or you'd have a lot of frictin between teams followed by backslappin budy-budy nonsense.

Well, at least they haven't done the "Stargate creates evil duplicate" thing.....yet....

It's coming. They've already done the Alternate Reality thing. I say we ban Stargate alltogether when they get to the Evil Clone of O'Neil stage.

It's close....they have to have the clone take over the 'Gould and try to destroy Earth to be really un-redeemable.
Also bad would be any episode that splits someone into their good and evil parts or anything that causes severe aging or de-evolving into cavemen or...
Wait, they did that last one already!

All three, if you're willing to count "look how evil Goa'uld memories/health care makes you" episodes.
I wonder if anyone considering keeping O'Neill around by bringing back that kid.
Well, hopefully not.
That episode struck me as nightmarish. Here's O'Neill, for all intents and purposes, but he has to go live a life not his own and never see any of his family or friends again.

You mean the android duplictes episodes? That would be nightmarish- to discover that not only are you a copy, but that you're a machine copy at that.
Of course, given virtual immortality, you could concievably find a way to grow a organic body one day.
It's amazing how many lame concepts we let Stargate get away with that we'd be disguted with in a current Trek episode though. All th instances I mentioned are unwatchable to me on Trek. Particularly on TNG.

I've not seen that one- I only get to see them in the reruns played at 6pm...and I've not had cable in two months now so no TV....
(sigh.)

Mini-O'Neill didn't so much have as wanted to live his life over again, which was fairly creepy and un-O'Neill-like (still possessing the mind of Maxi-O'Neill, etc).
Also, that episode never happened. At all. Ever. There are five lights.

I just saw the "Mini-Me" episode the other night. I actually liked the episode, mostly because the actor they found to play young O'Neill absolutely *nailed* RDA's mannerisms.

Stargate does ALL the sci-fi cliches, sometimes more than once, with the exception of shrinking the characters. The difference is, Stargate does them WELL. Farscape was the same way (though they actually did do the shrinking episode). The time loop episode of SG-1 was priceless.
