McKay obviously took this godlike power straight to his head, creating his civilization to be technologically advanced and essentially worship him. It turns out this "video game" was actually an Ancient experiment where two civilizations of people were controlled through this video game computer. In this episode, Shepard and his team travel through the Stargate to another planet, only to find out it is exactly identical to a world McKay and Sheppard were interacting with in what they thought was some sort of Ancient version of a video game. While the two did eventually get over their inflated egos and learn to trust in each other as teammates, they still held a petty rivalry that almost led to a global catastrophe in the fifteenth episode of the third season. From bad writing to the mistreatment of Stargate's diverse cast, the following are some of the most controversial episodes in the Stargate franchise. With the prospect of a possible Amazon revival of the franchise, it seems an astute time to look at the darker moments of this beloved series. Yet even this show has had controversy, ever since the very first season up to the launch of Stargate Universe.

Stargate is often hailed as one of the greatest sci-fi television series ever made, right next to The X-Files. From the toilet flushing scene in Psycho, to Michael Keaton's portrayal of Batman, controversy has been the other side of the coin for fandoms. Controversy is by no means new to pop culture entertainment. Yet the other side of many fandoms is the side of controversy. For many, it is television shows like Star Trek or Stargate that truly defined the genre, and introduced entire generations to the ideas of intergalactic conflict and the ever-present struggle for peace and understanding. Sci-fi fans have no shortage of franchises to envelop themselves in. At the same time the episode where he died at the end where rodney and carsen where on the peer was one of the best scenes of the entire show.Whether it's the global superpowers of Marvel and DC or more obscure things like The Witcher or Attack On Titan, everyone has some universe they have fallen in love with. As for jewel staite I'm not a fan, I like carsen alot better I also liked his clone when they brought him back I was so glad. I was later glad to see that Jewel Staite joined the Atlantis cast but they didn't use her in any interesting way the way that she had done in Firefly.Īlso my least favorite but I still don't mind watching it. The parallel universe McKay episode was good fun, too. That seemed like it was just done to stretch out the episode without having to have too much special effects since you could spend the entire episode trying to solve the problem.Īnd with Stargate: Continuum adding another time-travel story that was done fairly well, I liked it too. Least favorite would probably be the one in Atlantis where Major Shepherd goes far into the future (season ender/opener). My favorite one of those would probably be the one called "1969" or something like that, where the team meets a young General Hammond. It's always fun to see how an episode will handle this.
