Stargate Infinity

This oversimplified drivel doesn't deserve the name "Stargate" or to be in any way associated with the Stargate movie and TV series.

Yes, it's obviously for kids. But it lacks much of the imagination and creativity which can make it one of the show which parents are happy to watch with their kids. I've watched a number of kids' shows before and enjoyed them. "Stargate: Infininty" is not even close to being in that category.

If they wanted to create a new show based on the concept of traveling through gates across the galaxy, then so be it. But I hate the cheap ploy of cashing in on the Stargate namesake.

This IS NOT Stargate and doesn't deserve the name!

The Stargate universe is so vast and interesting that a cartoon could have potentially been a good compliment to the live action shows, but this was just a miserable piece of junk.

They pretty much threw out all previously established canon from the movie and first 4-5 seasons of SG1, and created something that has no relevance whatsoever to the movie or TV show.

If I was a kid when I saw this I don't think I would have been any more impressed, and I would probably think "stargate sucks" because of it, and not give the real shows a chance.

I think what sums it up best is a quote from one of the characters as she looked upon a small amorphous blob of goo: "Do you think it could be one of the Ancients!?" What the hell were they thinking?

When I read some reviews about how it appears to have no relation to SG:1, or even the film apart from having the gate I thought "Nah... It's Stargate! It can't be that bad!" But oh yes, it is. It's completely bizarre and I don't know WHAT the makers were thinking.

I'm sure that in it's own right it's an enjoyable show from a kids perspective, and when I get over the fact that it's so damn silly I might be able to enjoy it as mindless entertainment. Perhaps if I can catch the Pilot Episode It might make a little more sense, perhaps if it were set 50 into SG1's future, maybe more it'd be more believable?

Terrible, awful, insulting, and painful. Stargate Infinity is to Stargate SG1 as Galactica 1980 was to Battlestar Galactica. Infinity shows almost no resemblance, continuity or respect for SG1 at all. There were staff weapons, used by alien creatures that looked like recycled Thundercats mutants. The staff weapons and the other cheesy-plastic ray-gun looking-things seemed to have the ability to hit any life form with a weak stun blast (less effect than one zat gun shot), while also scorching metal walls black and cutting down stalactites easily. Reminds me of the dubbing of season 3 of Space Cruiser Yamato/Star Blazers, you could see lasers going right through people leaving burnt holes, but of course the lasers were stun beams and the people were androids. Or the "robotic" (yeah right) defense forces in Battle of the Planets. There was the token tough guy, token telepath, token alien, token shapeshifter etc etc. Add to all this, one-liner lessons of life such as "Sometimes you just gotta make a choice, go for it and deal with the consequences" made me grind my teeth and cower in horror. The theme song and music were both, um, I have no words for how awful they were. I suppose Infinity might appeal to someone whose IQ <= their shoe size, but I warn any SG1 fans out there, be afraid and run away from Infinity.

I didn't think that it could be quite as bad as it was. This is possibly the worst cartoon on television at the moment. Just because it's made for children isn't an excuse not to make it well.

This is quite simply a disservice to the Stargate name, and not suitable for children due to the extremely poor quality. We need decent childrens cartoons!
