    I really need to do a stargate SG-1 podcast ala the west wing thing. I maintain that SG-1 is basically the west wing thing with space travel, at least compared to star trek.

      It's slightly different, west wing thing is 90s nostalgia from the early 2000s, SG-1 is from the 90s, and I swear almost every tv show and movie from that era fully bought into the end of history thesis. Imo it's definitely lib brained, but end of history lib brain just hits different. It's weirdly positive, Sorkin never would've dreamt up the amount of international cooperation that Stargate franchise did.

        It kinda flipped back and forth, like the lib president always overrules the general to side with the anthropologist iirc but then the military guy always saves the anthropologist, so it both sides it lol.
