I disagree with this.  While I agree TNG was better (at least towards the end) than TOS, I don't think Stargate SG-1 ever approached that height.

You must be high.
SG-1 was far more visionary than either TOS or TNG.
SG-1 had all the elements from the Technological Singularity, even thought they did not truly understand the process in which the TechSing appears to be developing in real life.
SG-1 had technoimmortality, all kinds of genetic modifications, robotization of the economy, post-scarcity civilizations, post-technological "ascencion" to a "higher plane of existance", and techno-retraction, which is when a civilization's tech level is so advance that they go completely into the nano-scale and retract from the visible physical world.

I'm fucking tire of 11B4V and his fucking lies.

But you're a liar.  You've told lies here and have been caught.

what the fuck are you talking about?

YOu said that the guy who crashed that airliner into a mountain in France was a Muslim.  This is not true, ergo, you are a liar.

Odyssey 5 had all that, and was much better-done.  SG-1 was a fun romp, but wasn't visionary at all. The technobabble was for the sake of sounding like an SF show, which is really wasn't, strictly speaking.

I know what raw was talking about. I wonder what siege was dribbling on about.

Never try to understand the Siege.  Enjoy, but don't try to understand.  His shtick is almost impenetrable.

Israel Says Airstrike Foiled 'Terrorist' Attack at Syrian Border

The Israeli military said it launched airstrikes Sunday that "neutralized" an imminent attack by bomb-carrying militants along the Israeli-Syrian border.

Few details were immediately available. In a brief statement, the Israel Defense Forces said the air force was deployed after "terrorists armed with explosives" were spotted.

Reuters quoted an Israeli military source as saying, on condition of anonymity, that four militants placed an explosive on a fence near Majdel Shams, at the foot of Mount Hermon in the annexed Golan Heights. All four were killed, according to the Reuters source.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the military action, although he provided no details.

"Any attempt to harm our soldiers or civilians will be met with a determined response like the IDF operation from tonight, which thwarted an attempted attack," Netanyahu said in a statement on Twitter. "I wish to praise the alertness of our soldiers, who acted quickly and precisely."

Jet: I see.
