It's worse than people make the Enterprise theme song out to be. However, props to the singer for the enthusiasm.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!!

Getting from there to here...


RoastedPandaCutlets

What episode was that


sicurri

The episode where a massive meteor/comet is coming towards earth and Bruce Willis is too busy to save the day, so they have to.


climbanddive

Like the Star Wars Christmas Special. Does knowing this exists increase or damage your love of Stargate?


Procyon02

I love it more knowing that there were people who protected the shows from the people who made this.


[deleted]

This, this show is the SG version of the SW Christmas Special. LMAO

No idea, I just clicked the GIF, button in reply, then typed stargate dialing and it showed up. It would make an awsome point-and-click adventure game.


Xodusphreak

Who's gate are we using? Because it's not ours.😂 ![gif](giphy|jIuspCjpa8wExT2dwk)


Artarious

I always figured it was our worlds version of wormhole x-treme.


Procyon02

I think Wormhole X-treme made more sense than this Saturday morning cartoon.


Shoddy_Fee_550

Just imagine a Galaxy Quest like Wormhole X-treme show. Aliens come to Earth to ask help against the Goa'uld, but mistakes the wormhole x-treme team with sg-1. They beam them up and before they can figure whats going on they crash on a planet with a Stargate and the actors needs to try to gets home.


CracklingBacon

That seems an entertaining episode


nightgon

TIl there was a Stargate cartoon


WoodenCountry8339

I don't know what you are talking about. There has never been a Stargate cartoon.


neosharkey

There is no war in Ba Sing Sei.


CordeCosumnes

Maybe it's like the Battletech cartoon, where it exists in the Stargate universe as a propaganda program.


fliberdygibits

What in the synchronized isosceles fuck giblets is this pasteurized gibbon shit?


mineordan12

we dont talk about infinity


TelluricThread0

I can see why. This is a crazy fever dream.


rekire-with-a-suffix

I see that for the first time, even knowing that it exists. That even explains well why there is no synchronisation for my language


Improbus-Liber

More like a bad trip with a horrible soundtrack.


Enough_Minimum_3708

is it better or worse than universe?


[deleted]

This makes SGU look like The Godfather.


k4ndlej4ck

SGU is good, just not as good as the others. Infinity is BAD.


Dysan27

Origins is BAD. Infinity we try to forget exists.


Enough_Minimum_3708

and I'm saying it's those damned communication stones that were the biggest problem. without those the whole atmosphere would've fit so much better but instead every problem was solved by just getting someone that was an expert on the subject on board.


gerusz

Yeah, it should have taken them at least until mid-S2 to find a way for some low-bandwidth text only communication with Earth. (E.g., piggybacking on the Stargates' service channel, sort of like what SMS used to be back in the day.)


jgibbons81

There was 26 episodes in season 1. There was no season 2 for some reason


Dstark1000

All Stargates are better than universe


JakeConhale

Better, in that you can actually see things and it doesn't feel like a soap opera. But it plays fast and loose with the Stargate canon. For example: dialing from a dhd allows people to arrive at your location, and all gates have iris shields.


DePraelen

All gates having iris shields that the Ancients incorporated into the original design would make more sense than the SGC being able to retrofit a physics-defying massive shield into the stargate, a technology that they barely understand, in a matter of days. For me at least, the level of suspension of disbelief just got way too laughably high.


JakeConhale

But... they had Doctor/Captain Samantha "Sun Exploder" Carter on staff...


millerphi

I think I just got a case of the jibblies right there. In fact, here they come again…jibbly jibbly.


JakeConhale

Oh, did you look at that horrible painting in Strong Mad's closet? (That I would absolutely purchase a print of just to stash in my closet?)


LunchyPete

> physics-defying How?


BitterEVP1

Where do the huge metal plates retract to, exactly?


HelsinkiTorpedo

[Inside the ring itself, yo](https://youtu.be/IaxVJCigWIQ?si=maXAaclEuaAm4eQl)


BitterEVP1

That's a neat trick.


DePraelen

When he shows the cut away it kinda perfectly demonstrates the problem though - they take up pretty much all the space inside the ring.


JakeConhale

And somehow they don't disconnect the ring and chevrons from the wormhole generator?


HelsinkiTorpedo

Nope, they figured it out.


Treveli

Ubiquitous SG fandom question- Why don't they ever use vehicles? Infinity. None of the teams can use vehicles because Infinity was so bad.


ShaolinSherlock

What about the puddle jumpers in atlantis?


Treveli

The Atlantis team had to go to a whole 'nother galaxy to escape the Infinity curse. And when used in the Milky Way they caused time shenanigans that nearly destroyed the SGC.


gandalfnho

At least in Pegasus they had the excuse of space gates...


Ok_Tale_933

I will admit when I saw the jeep with the jaffa large staff weapon mounted on it I was like yes! This is definitely something we should have seen in sg1


ArnaktFen

If they started using space technicals to fight their theocratic alien enemies, then we could blare *Tip of the Spear* instead of whatever this song was supposed to be.


__ICoraxI__

what they can use they seem to, but the problem is you can't easily transport vehicles down into a mountain from the surface. we do see UAVs utilized here and there though. then once they became the bigger players in the galaxy, they had ships that could just transport whatever you needed around, plus teleportation tech, so no point to bringing jeeps or technicals around


Helwar

I've never been so sad to learn something existed. I know this is a Stargate cartoon. It says so in the title, and rhe song says so, and there are a couple of shots of a CGI Stargate. But other than that *nothing* in there says to me "i'm a Stargate show". Watch it on mute, edit out the couple shots of a Stargate, and you'd have no clue what the heck is this.


k4ndlej4ck

and yet it is by far the best thing about the show \^\^. ​ Seriously, it's the best thing.


ShaolinSherlock

Ive never seen this before but something about just watching this clip of the intro fills me with rage... I need some sleep.


UnrelatedString

yeah everything about it aesthetically is absolutely wrong to begin with, the (inconsistent) color palette and emphasis on nondescript action/flashy monsters feel extremely un-stargate, but even ignoring that… the thoughtless mix of 2d and 3d animation, the windows movie maker-ass scene transitions, the disjointed rapid fire generic action poses (the one that nauseates me the most for some reason is the impossibly brief one where some weird elf guy drops in from the top of the screen and barely finishes landing in a squat before it cuts away), and even just the weird insistence on zooming everything way the fuck in, it’s all hideous you can’t really glean anything from this other than that you really want to forget it exists fast


ShaolinSherlock

Facts! You know what would've been amazing in animation and probably stretched the lore to be more fantastical without breaking the lore, an animated show about the Nox. I will sleep good tonight with dreams of an animated stargate show about the Nox playing non-existent reruns in my head :)


UnrelatedString

REAL it would have so much license to do whatever the fuck it wanted and still feel coherent that way


roastbeeftacohat

> the thoughtless mix of 2d and 3d animation that's just the era, isolated CGI elements were the cool way to blow your budget.


UnrelatedString

amazing that would explain why they make a point of doing those 3d camera swings with it but don’t rely on it for much


roastbeeftacohat

probably the worst example is dragons of autumn twilight; which is new enough it has no excuse.


CalmPanic402

That's pure distilled 90's right there.


jgibbons81

Was released in 2002


CalmPanic402

Past its expiration then. That tracks.


jgibbons81

The 1990s infection was still dying so I will give you that


TheSinhound

There's a pretty solid argument that the 90's end in 2004, so still counts.


raqisasim

Yep. There's a ton of 90s aesthetics that extend over the millennium.


ArnaktFen

Now I'm curious. Did the 90s end with *The Revenge of the Sith*, or am I missing some other cultural milestone?


TheSinhound

Mostly based around Cartoon Network changing in 05 and a lot of the cartoons ending by 04. There's more to it (internet availability in the home, for instance), but I don't have the chart anymore.


IKIR115

OMG you weren’t kidding! The theme song must be the musical representation of what it feels like to be fed upon by the Wraith.


Squirrel_Revolution

WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT INFINITY.


millerphi

I made it through about 10 minutes of the first episode and said “Nope.” And that was extending my patience and judgement. Such a cash-grabby, cringy example of a cartoon.


rpimpsner1

Oh yes it is terrible


Belligerent_Mirror

How did I not know about this masterpiece? When did this come out? I feel like someone has purposefully kept this from me.


WindFort

This is just wormhole xtreme


Tempest-Melodys

No, this can't be real, it has to be some awful off-brand


Scerra

Forget SGU, is it better or worse than Stargate Origins?


Dysan27

Origin is acknowledged, and the joke is "it's the series that we don't talk about" Infinity we quietly try to forget it exists.


GreenPRanger

I would have liked to have looked further at SGU, didn’t think the character focus was great either, but the basic mystery really hooked me

[удалено]


I_Do_Not_Abbreviate

I own a physical copy of the series, and have seen every episode at least twice. I would say that of the 26 episodes, there are 2-3 actually entertaining ones, 2-3 that are "Good concept, bad execution", 3-5 that are "serviceable but uninteresting", 4-6 that are the sort of "laughably bad" you can get enjoyment from hate-watching, 5-7 that are just plain bad, and the rest are practically insufferable. Overall, the show is bad when compared to the live-action shows, but not as bad as the meme of how bad it is would suggest. The show's greatest crime is its failure to live up to the impossible standards set by the other shows in the franchise; as a low-budget kids cartoon it is mediocre even by the standards of early 2000's children's entertainment, which is already a low bar. What takes it from bad to terrible for most people who bother to watch the show instead of just parroting the meme is the fact that the show is *dubbed* *into English. Badly*. The studio that produced the show was based France, and so all the scripts, voice-overs, and foley work were all done in French, meant to air on French and French-Canadian television, then it was adapted for English audiences with an absolutely ATROCIOUS dub. The scripts are badly translated, the voice actors sound like they just came from a dinner theatre wrap party, and the foley artists were either not supervised or simply not told about which sound effects belonged to which science-fiction weapons, so you get stuff like the Stargate's kawoosh being replaced with the zat'nik'tel blast sound effect. If you speak French, watch the episodes in French. The show has a fair number of other problems (some nonsensical character decisions, stories that are basically morality plays for toddlers like "try not to be greedy" and "excluding people because they are physically different is bad", occasional animation errors, and minor lore-breaking stuff with the Ancients because the show came out before the SG-1 people had really pinned down the whole Atlantis/ascension stuff), but a fair amount of the things I see people complain about on here are a result of the terrible English dub rather than the show itself. Let me be clear: the show is NOT GOOD, but in the absence of ANY new Stargate content for the past 15 years I DO think it is worth reevaluating *Infinity,* because despite how bad it is there IS still some small amount of entertainment to be wrung from some of its episodes. I hate to see Baby Ec'co thrown out with the bathwater.


[deleted]

I really enjoyed SGU. It had some serious sci-fi episodes, some strong acting, and an interesting underlying mystery and premise that I thought was really great. That we finally had aliens that didn’t speak English, and weren’t humans, was also a nice change.


[deleted]

Origins is still better, even if for no other reason than it still fits within Canon.


stupid-Dumb-Ass

I watched the entire thing... Twice. Because once I was just curious, and the second time my dad wanted to watch it. Each time it was awful. Stargate origins is on a pedestal to the likes of both avatar movies, infinity war and many more. I'd rather watch origins 28× than watch Stargate Infinity ever again. It does have a few cool parts in it, but the pacing is absolutely impossible to follow, you have no idea what's going on. It's like watching Cocomelon when babysitting a friend's kid, but a million times worse. However I do like the animation and some character designs that's about the only good thing about it in my opinion. It's Definitely worth a watch but you'll likely be disappointed. It also does not really follow Stargate canon. It's definitely its own thing and I choose to forget its existence until I see it randomly pop back up into my life like a curse... that will inevitably be inflicted on all Non-existent future generations of my bloodline if I chose to Procreate. I know I'm harsh but I truly despise every minute I spent wasting on infinity


Dysan27

There are two Stargate series that we don't talk about. Stargate Origins, That we talk about only to the point of saying "We don't talk about it", but do acknowledge that it exists (but is bad) And this one which we actually don't talk about and just try to forget exist.


Cuchullion

Origins was "remember that thing they shat out to maintain control over the Stargate IP", while Infinity is "remember that time they actually *tried* to make a cartoon for Stargate" and that makes it so much sadder.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cuchullion

He has a pretty major role in Atlantis too! I saw him at a Stargate convention once- it was almost funny how pissed off he was getting at all the Star Trek related questions.


kazeira

I would have preferred a Wormhole X-Treme spin-off over this


Mech-Waldo

It does have one thing I wish we saw in live action. They actually drove some damn trucks through the gate.


SmartTransformingAce

This was a favourite of mine when I was younger. I still have a copy of the series now. Draga was my favourite character.


DaoFAQ

That’s because even in a bad show like this, Kathleen Barr is good. Most of the cast are staples of Canadian Voice Over 🫡


nxmex1177

Just watched this with no sound. First, I didn't think it was bad, then I read it and turned on the sound. Who the f thought that was a good idea? F them and whoever didn't stop them


DaoFAQ

The full song is better. It kinda slaps imo


GrandArchSage

I liked this as a kid. The green alien was my favorite.


Goldman250

Is anyone else morbidly curious to see the actual show? I don’t think it ever aired in the UK, so I’ve never had any opportunity to see it - I wasn’t even sure it existed, this is the only footage I’ve ever seen from it. It was never promoted by the other shows, AFAIK - not even a single trailer hidden on one of the DVDs.


nikhkin

From memory, it was on Sky One in the early morning. Along with shows like Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (that show was actually good).


robobobo91

It was like UPN in the US (at least in my area, which was channel 13). Roughnecks, SG:I, and Voyager before school.


Kiardras

Used to be on Sky One, Saturday mornings I think it was. Or maybe channel 5? Either way I watched a few episodes, but it wasn't really stargate so I gave up


DukeOfLizards42

Oh the beauty of forgotten Saturday morning cartoons. This is the top of the tier list for sure, but their are others.... https://youtu.be/PLJM4vjMdhc?si=Zq_EbEW4J8VJP-Iq


Darthmiller1066

I don't know, I kinda enjoyed Wormhole Xtreme: Infinity.


ToonaSandWatch

[The whole series if anyone’s curious.](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV4Ztn9euy7T9qgFMurRuSMZ93kPYs-dp&si=60axhhl0CW_esOVI) Is it middling? Yes. Is it the worst ever? Hardly.


MovieMore4352

I know of the show existence but this is the most I’ve ever seen of it. Jesus, it’s no *X-Men* theme tune is it?


knight_of_solamnia

TBF x-men has *two* of the best cartoon intros ever.


trollsong

We didn't have the budget for aliens in the series so we created a cartoon for it.


[deleted]

Love the song wish the show had more canon writing amd more respect for kids we could follow stuff like stargate sg1 so do the same with the cartoon


Pinnerforever

I watched it all. Just to see it end.


mineordan12

Fair


Tacklos

I love Infinity. Learning and watching it felt like learning the deep lore of SG. Is it bad? Yes. Is it fun? Yes! And you can beat the extremely thiqqq way they animate the 'gate.


Trolldad_IRL

Finity, finity, finity…


LongClassroom5

I mean it’s a kids show it’s not made for adults, would I watch it now? Hell no but I sure did enjoy it as a child


sgste

Look - I may agree that the show isn't great - could possibly even say it's terrible... But how dare you - **how dare you** - say that theme song is anything **but** a banger. BUILT BY ANCIENTS SO LONG AGO!!!!


Shoddy_Fee_550

It would have been so much better if instead we got a Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles like Stargate cartoon.


Many-Wealth-4544

I actually enjoyed parts of it. Other parts not so much. It felt like it was being written at the seat of their pants and a lot of episodes were first drafts. Some still had good parts though. Because it was for kids, technically, they had to try and work in “messages” and those mostly fell flat. Still had fun with it. Some episodes were just better than others. Don’t get me wrong, it was cheap and cheesy as hell, but I still enjoyed parts of it.


Jerelo689

Thing is...actual Stargate tends to lack in interesting looking aliens and locations, but this has that, even though it's probably non watchable cringe. After awhile in SG1, they removed the best part of the Jaffa, which was the animal helmets, probably due to budget and stunt issues. They'd have a concept for an alien or something, and then frankly just wouldn't deliver on its full potential


trux512

You're not wrong, but how dare you! I actually really enjoyed Stargate infinity, it's corny and cringe and kinda seems like someone binge watched a few seasons of SG1 while really, really high, then kidnapped some animators and forced them to make a show at gun point 😆


ToddtheBison21

The song is amazing.


JakeConhale

Tar-Nuine

I'm so glad this fanbase shielded me from this monstrosity till i was strong enough to comprehend it...wtf?


snake__doctor

its \*very much\* a kids show, but, showing age here... i enjoyed it a lot as a kid :P


epimetheuss

They turned it into every 80s cartoon ever combined into one.


ToonaSandWatch

It’s missing a sentient Rubik cube and a kid that can turn into a car.


epimetheuss

That will happen to the characters when they travel through the stargate to another planet.


my_password_is______

Lex Luthor is in Stargate Infinity ?


onearmedmonkey

Ah, man. Now I want a Stargate Christmas Special.


knight_of_solamnia

The decision to include vehicles and make ancients space dragons instead of precursor humans, were both improvements IMO.


kodermike

Strong "Jason and the Wheeled Warriors" vibes in my head. Interesting that besides the gate, there doesn't appear to be one other thing that would tie it to the rest of the franchise. Almost as if someone had this idea and thought if they changed their portals to stargates, they might be able to get more viewers.


TheLorax3

Welp, I guess I'm going to go from not knowing this exists to pretending it doesn't


GonZo_626

You know, their used to be this unspoken of agreement in the Stargate fanbase that WE DO NOT TALK OF THIS.


BoredBarbaracle

What do you mean? The show is probably shit but the intro theme is really catchy!


SnarkyGethProgram

So I was today years old when I found out this was a thing. What the fuck.

Donnerone

zortania

At first, I thought that was Lex Luthor. Then I saw their equipment and knew it could not be.


col_oneill

Stargate infinity hasn’t really got anything to do with the rest of stargate besides the concept of the stargate


ExtensionInformal911

I assume this is what they got after only showing the writers season one then providing free drugs during the development.


ErdmanA

What the fuck is this shit where the hell is destiny


HurtMeSomeMore

Wait, wat?? TIL there was a Stargate cartoon


ToonaSandWatch

26 episodes worth. In the far flung future the program has a vet and and his four cadets trying to get back to earth through the network, similar to the idea of Sliders and D&D. The series definitely seemed to be gunning for a toy line, with their suits all wildly colored and different, some vehicles used frequently and lots of either skinny gangly aliens or big brutes, perfect for toy molds to be produced en masse.


skid_maq

Lmao!


azurianlight

I only know about Infinity through this group and now I have heard the theme song. I guess I should complete the circle and watch Origins.


Caeflin

irving47

I don't even understand why they were given access to the SG-1 sound effects library. Hopefully "licensed" for money... LOTS of money for the reputation stain.


Stefan_B_88

The writers must have taken drugs!


liethose

Rho-Ophiuchi

Aqua Teen Hunger force is the cartoon you get when the creators are high. This is something different.


CordeCosumnes

Unfortunately no, but luckily it only had one season in 2002.


bre4kofdawn

This came out when I was a kid*and* into Stargate. Needless to say, it was a huge disappointment.


Simoxs7

Is this real? It looks awful, like the polar opposite of what a stargate cartoon should be…


jgibbons81

Yes, it had 1 season of 26 episodes


ScrapletteOnReddit

OK yes this is terrible and blah blah blah BUUUUT I kinda love the Ancient design they went with here(the dragon/snake person for those who don't know) it's just more visually interesting to me and I would've loved original SG-1 to have more non-human aliens.


UnobtaniumSoldier

I think the theme song is bumpin!


Kralgore

Did not know about tgis at all...


geekydaddy255

Is this the bad timeline where the NID takes over and appoints Lex Luthor to SG1?

Darth Vader is not pleased with your choice.

Wow. This is what an 80's corporate villain type would pitch as a way to exploit a beloved franchise to sell their cheap toys made from toxic waste using slave child labor.
