I have to vote SG1. It's the original Series, what more can be said. Yes, Atlantis and Universe were good, but they both got sidelined way too early.the last episodes of each were rushed. You could feel that "this isn't the way it should go".
Terra, I too sided with Rush (since day one). He has a dark side, but understandable since no of the others could comprehend things at his level. If he looked at a tea cup, he seen it for all that it was. A technological marker, an icon of specific societies and cultures, the materials involved in it's creation, etc. Everyone else just would see a tea cup and that's it. I hate to say it, I feel Kin to him, including with feeling surrounded by "Single cell organisms" in my daily life (not speaking of anyone here on MSFC, but rather, my home, my job, my town, etc). Crazyfrog knows exactly what I speak of. He's been here. Simply, when he or I walk into a building here in this town, it's as if the entire Building's total IQ just tripled.
Sample: I was at work one day looking at the newspaper that was just delivered. It had a picture of the Space shuttle lifting off on the front page. My boss at the time walk up behind me and stated "That was fake. It doesn't really go anywhere. It flys up than then lands just to blow Tax Payers dollars." I shot back with "what, there is no outer space?" she replied that if I believed that, then I believe the earth was flat!...
What the heck? So If I believe the shuttle goes to outer space, then "I" believe the earth is flat? Sorry, but she has that all wrong. Because being a man of science and technology means there is no why I would ever believe the earth was flat!
Another sample, I said one day to someone here "isn't that an Oxymoron"? She replied "I am not a moron, you are!"
Another time I said that here, a different person said "I am not a Mormon, I am a Baptist!"...
The Schools here have only one kind of "After school activities"... Sports (no A/V club, Chess club, Spelling Bee club, Jr ROTC, etc... nothing but Sports, and Band which are part of the sports activities... Oops, I forgot one, Ag... how to grow Pigs and crops). So actually I guess there is 2 after school options for kids here. You either fit into those groups, or you are unacceptable in the local social sect. The local kids here that are "unacceptable" have formed 2 other groups on their own. The ones that stay inside playing video-games or the ones that roam the streets doing drugs, causing trouble, wasting their lives. The Average scholastic level here is 37% below the USA's National Scholastic Average. The few bright kids are outcasts here (3 of them are my kids).
Anyways, that's why I feel a connection to Rush. But in the end, the SG1 team gets my vote. I am a big fan of Carter and Jackson. And O'Neill makes me laugh every time he refers to a "Big honkin' space gun".
