As much as I like ragging on some Star Trek series, at least they're not Stargate series.

Stargate had this thing where they pretended to be extremely serious but in reality they were about as serious as their spiritual predecessors Sliders and Quantum Leap.

    I guess you haven't watched SG then. They are just at the right level of taking themselves seriously and taking the piss.

    Some episodes are very serious, others are pure silliness.

    I mean, they had some pretty serious moments. But the villains were cartoonishly villainous.

    Oh he absolutely is. But when it comes to a competition of who channels classic moustache twirling hijinx the best, I think Apophis takes the cake.

    It has to be so much fun to be an actor playing a Goa'uld. Forget subtlety, canonically your character is truly irredeemably evil by nature, born with the memories of a thousand Hitlers. As an actor, you just get to let it all out and let the evil freak flag fly. I bet Peter Williams had an absolute blast.
