Just watched the pilot for STARGATE- SG-1
The 'sci-fi' element was just window dressing for what is basically a propaganda film for the US military intervention in the Middle East.
Is the whole series just a future set war/action show? If so , count me out.
BUT......
to my surprise and amazement the pilot featured a super hot chick butt necked!!!!!!
was this a premium cable show and is there nudity throughout the series??
if you have watched this your advice is most welcome

What is that, a new STARGATE show?
I really enjoyed the short-lived (one season) UNIVERSE, but don't care for any of the other, earlier incarnations at all, except the original film.
it is a 90's show based on the movie

Ah....SG1. I read it as SGI (CSI: STARGATE? LOL!).
Yeah, I caught a couple of episodes of that show. Didn't care for it very much.

I've updated the first post with dates etc.
Many of the shows I'm following have ended their seasons (and some have been cancelled altogether, like MINORITY REPORT), but some are still on in their current season: FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, 12 MONKEYS, GAME OF THRONES, ORPHAN BLACK, OUTLANDER and PENNY DREADFUL.
I've also started watching HUMANS, the American remake of the Swedish series ÄKTA MÄNNISKOR (both have been on the list for some time). I was waiting for the Swedes to pick it up for a third season, but alas it seems to have been more or less cancelled. So I threw myself into the remake.
Another series I just discovered was HUNTERS -- a new SyFy series. I'm usually skeptical of SyFy-produced shows, but after the excellent THE EXPANSE -- and the entertaining KILLJOYS and DARK MATTER -- they seem to have upped their game. So I'm giving it a chance.
In the non-paranormal vein, I've also started watching THE AMERICANS, which I've also added to the list. I'm now up-to-date on that as well.

Can you give me an idea of just how long "further down" is? Life is short, Thor.
Also, I feel sorry you're not in a wider circle of people. How can you not know ANYONE who's seen TSP? Wow! You Norwegians!
Anyway, we have to have to subscribe to a channel called Showtime here in the US to watch PENNY DREADFUL, and I use to subscribe, but the first season just didn't do it for me.
My satellite bill was getting too large for my tastes, so I decided Showtime had to go, which I wasn't crazy about because I very much like their RAY DONOVAN series, but I don't miss PENNY.
Glad you enjoy it, though.

I think you may be overrating its position due to your personal relationship to the film. I would never even had known about it, had it not been for Goldsmith's involvement. Is this considered more of a classic in the US than over here, perhaps?
Oh, I don't pretend that it's a major American Classic Movie, only a minor one. Some think it overlong and ponderous, but others think it quite excellent. I'm actually somewhere in the middle. My affection for it is nostalgic that's true because it's one of those films my father took me to see as a kid and I've never forgotten it, but I believe there's something of a small cult following here in the States. Hell, there's even a fan website entirely devoted to it.
I wonder if it's on Blu-ray there in Norway, or available in HD streaming, because I'd only want tohear your opinion if you watch it in HD and on a large TV. What do you watch things on, by the way, Thor?
The US Blu-ray of THE SAND PEBBLES is unfortunately Region A locked, but if you have an all-region player, I happen to have an extra copy that someone I know didn't want anymore and gave to me. Give me an address there in Norway and I'd be happy to send it to you -- if you can play it and watch on a good-sized HD TV.
I'm not kidding, no problem really. You are a film scholar, correct? Believe me, it's just as much worth watching as PENNY DREADFUL, and I think more rewarding.
