      Seriously, why would they not utilize the weapon that was so heavily featured in both SG-1 and Atlantis? I wonder if it was a licensing issue or something.

        If I recall, the ammo ended up in short supply worldwide and hence prohibitively expensive.

            They use blanks. During the Iraq war there was a shortage of 5.7x28mm blanks. It’s possible they switched some blank production lines over to make live rounds for the war, or maybe the military needed more blanks to cover increased training needs.

      Just started season 1 again and I am yearning. Don’t know when they switch to p90 but I hope it’s in season 2.

        I read somewhere that it was around season 4. But it’s been a long time since I saw the show.

    They focused too much on interpersonal drama

    The tone of the show was too dark for Stargate franchise

    Nothing that happened in the show had much importance to the Universe as a whole

    No overarching enemies of interest

      I’m rewatching the series right now and wow - those Kino interviews add almost nothing. After skipping those and half the scenes with Chloe, the episodes are hardly 20 minutes long.

      The other issue (in addition to what you put) is that nothing of real consequence happens despite the darker tones. Pretty much every time something ‘bad’ happens, there’s a solution - And usually pretty uninspired. The really bad one imo was when Eli and gang got stuck off world due to the mine collapse.

      The only drama in the show I think I actually enjoyed was Rush v Young.

        Especially after how great the “Stuck in a hole” episode in SG:Atlantis was.

      For me the soap opera like focus on drama ruined the show. I really liked SG1 and the first 3 seasons of Atlantis.

      Yea, the first season was a total write off, and I felt like it was picking up steam in the second, but it was too little, too late.

    Coincidentally, Westworld is another show that stopped being good around the moment they stopped using P90s.
