Not gonna lie I do think tv peaked with stargate sg1
#nobody apples and oranges me on this#but like watching it now there is so much that tv shows have forgotten in the last 10 (+) years that I want to be remembered#like. modern tv it’s like everyone wants high concept 10 hour movies in chunks. and now companies are falling short on even those#expectations#and then there’s sg-1. and it’s corny#it’s high concept but it doesn’t showcase it’s narrative as its centerpiece (which really works in its favor) while also having some#semblance of continuity throughout the episodes. it has characters that while consistent aren’t immovable or incapable of being wrong#and ultimately serving the episodic narrative point. it’s universe is rich and expansive but also keeps it close to home#and watching the clipshow episodes feels like such a non diagetic time capsule being a method of a bygone era#not to mention how much the main cast has and continues to do such incredible work???? and it shows how much they know came from this show#(specifically looking at christopher judge and amanda tapping- absolute legends both)#idk man I’m just… this show is so fucking good like what would I ever do without her#also like it can be deep but also like. it’s fun??? it’s just fun. we don’t just have fun with tv anymore#(only exception I know of might be foundation tbh. they have a vibe that comes very close to that
