[edit] Canadian vs US air dates

The Original Air Dates refer to US Television. In Canada they run earlier ("Michael" ran Friday, Jan 13). Would someone who knows the Canadian air dates please correct the dates to when they aired first (me don't know all dates nor if this is intentional)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.74.174.159 (talk • contribs).

RE: I think we should leave the original U.S. air dates, because that was how SG-1 TV episodes are dated as well as season 1 of Atlantis. Besides the fact that SG-1 and Atlantis were products and originated from the U.S. we should leave it accordingly, despite the fact that this year Canada seems to be a little rougue by airing it before it airs in the U.S. You can get part of Canada's TMN airdates here [1], as they do not leave a history of past air dates. Although they have been airing the show on Monday nights with the exception of the last episode, 218.
Also, does anyone know why the table for Season 3 is a bit "jacked up?" I did a visual comparison with Season 2's but could not find any inconsistencies that would cause it to not extend the second column fully. -- therearenospoons 02:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I think it should be amended to mention that the dates are US air dates and that the series was shown earlier on Canadian television. "Original airdate" is sorta misleading at the moment, y'know? :) --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 21:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
In my opinion, the airdate should be the one from the country that aired it first. Since some episodes aired in Canada quite some time before than they did in the US, there is no point in keeping "US airdates". I am not sure how the airing was in the previous seasons but if anyone has the information, it should be corrected. --Tone 23:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I also think that the airdates should be as the original, as in how they aired in Canada. As for the show being American; both series are filmed and produced in Canada, Vancouver, BC, specifically, and in fact, the only American actor in this series is Joe Flanigan, all others are Canadian, so that should not be your basis for showing the US airdates. (Grizzwald 19:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC))
The consensus seems to be to go with Canada's airdates, so it has been done. Anyone with objections feel free to revert the changes, otherwise, it seems only logical to go with how the word original is defined. Again, does anyone know why Season 3's table is smaller than the other Seasons'? Visual code comparison seems shows no differences, but yet WYSINWYG =( - therearenospoons 02:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Season 2 original airdates from IMDB, Please, no more mods to original air dates for Season 2 since they are correct. therearenospoons 10:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Which are the Canadian ones for the second part of season 2. No reason to keep US dates I agree --SoWhy 14:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
211 onward (that is, 211 through 220) is the second half of season 2. I already made the change a couple days ago. I just noticed someone changing 220's after I had already changed them to Canadian on 20:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC), per my reply three paragraphs above (not including this one). BTW, 220 rocks--can hardly wait for 301 =) therearenospoons 00:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Is it known when season 3 will be aired?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 00:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Read through the Gateword forums that season 3 might start airing in June, quite a long way to go. :) --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 06:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Season 2 showed US airdates for 201 to 210 and Canadian dates for 211 to 220 (whichever aired first), as per discussion above, however the later US dates were shown for 111 to 120 rather than the earlier Canadian dates. I have corrected, using data from GEOS Nfitz 17:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Using the American air dates makes some sense, however, does it make sense to have complete summaries of episodes that are "TBA"? --Idjit 14:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

"Original airdate" - the American airdates for the 2nd half of Season 2 are no longer the original airdate, as Canada is showing it first Canada is the Original airdate. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sister article - FL!

List of Stargate SG-1 episodes recently was upgraded to a Featured list. See if we can copy the formatting and structure and so on from over there and make it a double-whammy. Main things were referencing, fair-use tagging. -- Alfakim --  talk  14:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Broken Convention' in Misbegotten (aka 302)

It seems the image file naming convention has been broken on this one, e.g. 'Episode Name (Stargate Atlantis).ext' Let's try to keep it the same from now, at least to somewhat bring it up to the same standards as our sister article. Also please make note of the image licensing tagging that has been employed by the FL model. I have already implemented this in the screenshot for 301 as well as the splash, see them for details. -therearenospoons 15:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Flawed summary

All I have to say is go tell that to the Stargate SG-1 Featured List Style Guide. There IS a reason WHY it is a Featured List :P -therearenospoons 20:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

He's right, source information is required. The SG1 list has source info for all images. the above codeblock was designed just to word the legalese of a fair-use rationale, its not the "only" text on the image page. --Alfakim-- talk 20:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] episode 312

Someone posted that this episode was going to be aired on the 27th. I can not find any listings to support. Anyone else find anything on this?

Seriously? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 01:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
the 27th on Movie Channel in Canada... -Xornok 22:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)


I have a strong feeling that we will be watching Misbegotten here in Canada tomorrow. I have reviewed TMN and Movie Central's online listings.

Yet again, there is no listing to support this episode on 12/04.

312 was released on the 27th. I just watched it. I'll change the article. [stargate70]

TMN isn't planning on airing any new episodes until at least January. It's only Movie Central in western Canada that is airing new episodes. I had checked the Vancouver listing in zap2it.com last week, and they did list the new episode (312) for Monday November 27th. As 312 is now available for download in HDTV from demonoid, I can only assume that it aired on schedule. The episode was also listed at Movie Central's website (as episode 51). After 312 things are a bit more iffy, as Movie Central hasn't got their December listings up yet, and Zap2it is showing "No Episode Title". Nfitz 22:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
